Inventory Challenge #6



Hello everyone and a very happy end of the week! Danielle and I would like to welcome you once again to Inventory Challenge #6, a continuation of our "Scraps from Stash" Christmas card challenge which will run until Christmas. I also planned on entering this card in the Just Magnolia challenge since I utilized the wonderful sketch by the fabulously talented Donalda, but, alas, I was too late!
The DP on my card is winterberry from S.E.I.'s Alpine Frost collection, purchased several years ago. I also used a scrap from Bo Bunny's Christmas collection and the red glittered dp is of unknown origin.....something I've had for a very long time!
The flowers are from Prima and the snowflakes from Jolee.
The adorable Tilda with Fir is from the Magnolia 2010 Christmas Collection, soon to be available at Diana's Magnolia-licious Store. It is currently on re-order.
Please visit my teammate DANIELLE and see her beautiful creation, as well as the fabulous creations by CHARLENE and RENE.
Thank you so much for visiting and have a wonderful day! Hugs to all, Christina

Good evening to all my blogging friends! I made this card for Friday Sketchers #128 following a sketch by the incredibly sweet & talented JACQUE. I am also entering it in the Lovely Hanglar Only Challenge #13 "Snowflakes".
I used papers from the BG Jovial collection. The Raffia was a gift from a very dear friend. Thanks, Hon! The large gold snowflake is from last year's holiday trim. The white snowflake is a Nestie die. I also used a MS snowflake punch. Thank you so much Claudia ..... I love those new MS punches!
Hope you all have a wonderfully relaxing evening. I definitely plan on it!

A Simple Christmas Card



Good afternoon everyone. I finished this very simple Christmas card, using only one DP from Best Creations. This adorable Tilda is from the 2010 Christmas Collection and the sled is from the 2008 collection, I think!!!!! I'm certain the stamps are available at Diana's Magnolia-licious Store and if the one you like isn't there, she will most certainly secure it for you.
The snowflakes are all Nesties dies and ribbon is from my stash.
I hope you are all having a wonderful Sunday and thank you for taking the time to visit my blog.

Inventory Challenge #5



Good morning everyone! Danielle and I would like to invite you once again to our Inventory Challenge. This challenge and all future challenges until Christmas will be "Scraps from Stash" Christmas cards. Let me tell you, I sure took my scraps of Webster's Pages, ripped and/or cut pieces to try to create a scene. I used a Giorgano stamp which I have used previously on a card. Love this sweet vintage image!!!
I created the flower with my retro and snowflake punches and the evergreen is a L-Em punch. The image is colored with copics. As you can see, I also used Stardust and gold Stickles, as well as liquid pearls.
Please visit Danielle and see her beautiful creation, as well as Charlene and Rene.
Thank you so much for visiting and leaving a comment. Hugs, Christina

Tilda for new Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog



Good afternoon everyone....hope you are having a wonderful day! I needed to make a birthday card so I decided to make one in a pink/yellow color combination to enter the new Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog challenge which will run every other Tuesday.
I am not very partial to yellow, but I gave it a shot anyway.
The yellow harvest doily in the background was a gift from my wonderful friend, Jacque.
All the other embellishments are from my stash. This adorable Tilda is from the 2010 Wedding Collection and she is available at Diana's Magnolia-licious store.
The image is colored with copics.
Thank you so much for visiting. Big hugs, Christina
