Winter Church for Inventory Challenge #11



Good morning everyone and a very magical holiday season to all my blogging friends!
Danielle and I invite you to our Inventory Challenge #11. This is a quick card since life is hectic right now. I used a wonderful image from WOJ which I received from my dear friend Claudia....thank you Sweetie!
I used Stampscapes for the background mountains. The papers are from my stash and the lovely lace is from Webster's. The church is colored with copics and I applied Stickles and Twinklets on the roof, trees and ground.
Please swing by and see Danielle's beautiful creation. Charlene did not have the time to join us this week and our sweet Rene is nursing an injury. Please take care and have a wonderful Christmas!
Thank you for visiting my humble blog. Love and hugs, Christina

New Tilda for Stamp with Fun



Good afternoon to all my blogging friends! We had 5" of snow overnight and now we're getting freezing drizzle....Yuck!!!! Anyway, it's a good day for crafting!!!
As you can see, I used the new Tilda from the winter kit...don't know her name as of yet! I followed the sketch by the incredibly talented TINA

for Stamp with Fun. I turned the sketch so that it could accommodate the image. The papers are BG Curio and the lace is from my stash, sprayed with glimmer mist. I stamped the image on a die by Nellie Snellen.
The image, of course, is colored with copics.
Thank you so much for visiting and leaving a comment. I know everyone is very busy at this time.

Birthday Tilda for Friday Sketchers #133




Good afternoon and a very happy Sunday! I made this card for FRIDAY SKETCHERS Challenge #133. The sketch I followed for this card was created by the talented MINA.
This is really my favorite image from the winter kit. I think she is adorable.
I colored this cute image with copics and the papers are from K&Co.
The ribbons are from Raspberry Ribbons and the gorgeous rose was a gift from my dear friend Jacque. Thanks so much, Hon! The swirls on the front and inside of this card are made with my Jim Holtz die, using the lovely glitter paper I received as a gift from my wonderful friend Danielle. Thanks so much...hope you like what I did with it!
Thank you so very much for visiting and I hope you are enjoying your day!

Haenglar Bookmark




Good morning and a very happy Saturday! I'm sure you are all stressing out this weekend to finish all the final details for the holidays! Well, I'm not stressing out this Christmas, we are going out for dinner....for the first time!!!! I don't have to cook and I can actually enjoy the holiday and visit with my family members.
My daughter has to help me set up "skype" on the computer next weekend.
I made the bookmark for the Lovely Haenglar Only challenge.
I took pictures of the front and back of the bookmark. The images are colored with copics and I used Nesties and the white ribbon on the front is from my stash. The trees are also Nesties.
Thank you for visiting my blog. Wishing you all a productive weekend!

Good morning everyone. Danielle and I would like to invite you once again to our Inventory Challenge....can't believe we are at No. 10 already.
I required one more "male" Christmas card. I think this is the last one for the year.
I'm so ready for spring!!!!!
This is another Kenny K Girlz image. Papers were a gift from Emmaspaperie when I placed an order some time ago. Everything else on this card is from my stash.
I colored the image with copics.
I would like to invite you to visit Danielle and view her gorgeous creation, as well as the wonderful creation by Charlene.

White Christmas



Good afternoon....hope you are having a wonderful day! It's a beautiful day in Wisconsin. Just returned from a walk with "Buddy"....he had a blast running in the fields of snow! Wish I could run with him....sigh!!!
I made this card for the MAGNOLIA-LICIOUS CHALLENGE BLOG which calls for lots of WHITE.
I am also entering this card in the STAMP WITH FUN challenge where the theme is "Christmas".
The "Silent Night" music text is from the 2008 Magnolia Christmas Collection and "Singing Carols" is from the 2009 Magnolia Christmas Collection, all available at Diana's Magnolia-licious Store. If it is not available at the moment, you can email her with your request.
I embossed the music text with silver embossing powder. The trees are Nesties and I also used Cuttlebug Christmas Ornament Embossing folder. I used lots of Stickles and Twinklets.
Thank you for visiting and I appreciate your taking time to leave a comment.

She does an incredible job.....everything is gift wrapped to perfection when it arrives. The image, of course, is colored with copics.
Wishing you a wonderful day. Hugs, Christina
