Tilda with Violin for Inventory Challenge #4



Good morning and a very happy Friday!!! Danielle and I would like to welcome you to our Inventory Challenge #4 incorporating "Ribbons and Bows" into our card.
This time I used one of my all-time favorite Maggies "Tilda with Violin". She is part of the 2010 Christmas Collection, and, even though I don't see her on site now, she should be available at Diana's Magnolia-licious Store.
I used the beautiful white swirly wedding paper for this card, placing a white organza ribbon on each side of the card. Then I placed the beautiful silver leaf ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon on top and added some bows. I used the MS snowflake punch for the opposite corner panels. The circle behind Tilda is light blue glitter paper and I placed a silver tree (Nestie) on top of the circle as a background for the image. Tilda is colored with copics.
Please swing on over and see the gorgeous creations by my teammate Danielle, as well as Charlene. I'm not sure if Rene is joining us this week, but you can find her here.
Thank you so much for visiting my blog. I am very grateful and appreciative for your comments.

Good morning one and all. It's early morning and still dark outside, but here I am...on my computer!!!! I just finished another card using Sneaky Tilda for the Sir Stampalot Christmas Traditions Challenge. You can purchase this cutie at Diana's Magnolia-licious store. The papers are from Bo Bunny and I used my snowflake punch and Nesties. The ribbon was a gift from my dear friend Claudia.
Love it!!! Tilda was colored with copics.

Gingerbread Tilda for Just Magnolia Week 79



Good afternoon to all my blogging friends! I just finished another card using Gingerbread Tilda for Just Magnolia Week 79 following the wonderful sketch by the magnificently talented Dawny P. This time I used colors that are totally out of my comfort zone for Christmas cards, but sometimes you have to experiment. Most of my experiments end up in the trash....hahahaha!!!!!
This cutie should be available for purchase at Diana's Magnolia-licious store.
All the dp is from my stash. The mistletoe is from Jolee which I purchased a couple of months ago at Michael's. The image, of course, is colored with copics.
Thank you for your visit. I appreciate each and everyone of you! Hugs, Christina

Lovely Haenglar Punched Out Challenge #11



Good afternoon everyone! I made this card for the LOVELY HAENGLAR ONLY Challenge #11 Punched Out. We are to use punches or dies to create our cards. My first attempt ended up in the wastebasket. I'm not entirely pleased with this card either, but it will have to do!!!!
I used MS, T.Holtz and Nellie Snellen, as well as Spellbinders Nesties punches/dies.
I also made the flower with retro flower punches. I used Bo Bunny papers and I colored my image with copics.
I hope you are having a fabulous day. We enjoyed a beautiful fall day in Wisconsin. Now I'm going to spend some time and visit your blogs to view all of your works of art. I don't have to work tonight...my weekend starts today!
Thank you for visiting my blog. Hugs!

Another Haenglar for Friday Sketchers



Good morning everyone and a very Happy Halloween. Since I live in a rural area, I don't have anyone coming to my home for treats. The only one getting treats around here is Buddy and I hide his treats and make him search.....he loves the challenge!
I made another Haenglar for Friday Sketchers #126 following a wonderful sketch by the magnificently talented Claudia. I colored this cutie with copics and I used papers from the BG Jovial collection. I used one of my Stempelglede stamps behind the image.
The raffia and trim were gifts from a couple of my lovely, fabulous friends. Thank you so very much!
The flower is from Prima and the charm brad is from Dovecraft.
Thank you so much for visiting and have a wonderful day.....easy on the candy...save some for the kids...hahahaha!!!! Hugs, Christina

Inventory Challenge #3



Good morning everyone....Friday is here...Yipppeeee....I have the pleasure of going back to work! How exciting is that???!!!!! Hahahahaha

Danielle and I would like to invite you to our Inventory Challenge #3 "Layers and Lace". I decided to make my card with the adorable Tilda with Amaryllis. She is available now for purchase at Diana's Magnolia-licious store. I also used a couple of my Stempelglede stamps, embossing them with gold tinsel EP. The papers are from the BG Cappella collection. The lace is from my stash. I used a white souffle pen to make the flowers pop a bit.
I would encourage you to visit my teammate DANIELLE and see her beautiful creation.
We are thrilled to have CHARLENE and RENE join our challenge. I'm proud of you girls to take on this challenge. Please hop on over and see their beautiful creations.
Thank you so much for visiting and leaving a comment. I appreciate you all so much. Hugs, Christina
