Three Christmas Card Entries for Hjertebodens





Good morning everyone...hope you are all having a marvelous weekend! Today, I'd like to show you my three entries for December, created for the HJERTEBODENS YULE BLOGG. I have no idea in which order they will appear on my post....it's never in the order that I hope, so my descriptions will be general.
Tilda with cross stitch heart is featured on Magnolia papers. Also featured on the card is the Magnolia fence die and the Memory Box "Frosty Border" die. I don't remember where I purchased the Christmas tree lights along the fence.
My LOTV card features papers from Hot Off the Press Vintage Christmas pack.
The heart circle is a Nestie and the ribbon is from my stash.
I created another book card with Midwinter Tilda from the Sweet Christmas Dreams Collection. The papers are from Maja Design, the fence is Magnolia and the reindeer is a Marianne die. All images are colored with copics.

Thank you for taking the time out of your busy day to visit. I appreciate your friendship and support. I know this is an exceptionally busy time of the year.
Love and hugs, Christina

Inventory Challenge #60




Good morning to all my fabulous blogging friends. Danielle and I and our teammates would love to invite you to our Inventory Challenge. This week the theme is to create a Christmas card with non-traditional colors. I finally had a chance to ink this adorable Tilda with gift from the Sweet Christmas Dreams collection.
I love her braids....my daughter had braids like! She is colored with copics.
The papers are Magnolia and I also used a Magnolia fence die. The clock behind Tilda is by T. Holtz.
Now I would love to invite you to visit my friends and teammates and see what wonderful projects they came up with.

My first book card




Good afternoon everyone! I've been working on this book card for a couple of days now.....my first one and it definitely won't be my last!!! Thanks to my dear friend, Danielle, for her assistance with the measurements. I have to admit it took two tries to get the inside accordian frame to be acceptable. This needs some practice.
This card was totally inspired by the incredibly talented TRINE. She is an amazing
artist and she does spectacular work with the Kenny K images. You can see her magnificent card HERE.
The inside of the card features another Kenny K image inserted in a pocket and I added truffles in the center. Papers are from the BG Sweet Threads collection. The images are colored with copics.
Thanks for visiting my blog. Hope you are having a great beginning of the week!
Much love, Christina

Inventory Challenge #59



Good morning everyone! For those of you that are out shopping today.....you are brave souls!!!!!
I hope you had a fabulous Thanksgiving holiday.

Danielle and I and our talented team invite you to our Inventory Challenge, this week's theme is "Let's See Snowflakes".
Well, as you can readily see, I did not skimp on the snowflakes. For the base of the card, I used a large Nestie. The snowflakes are also Nestie dies and I also used the Tim Holtz Snow Flurries border die. Papers are by Pion Design and some scraps. The lace is from Walmart. I colored a lovely Special Edition Tilda which is my absolute FAVORITE.....sorry, don't know her name!

Please hop on over and view the beautiful designs created by my teammates:

Poinsettia Fairy



Good morning to all my friends out there....hope you are having an enjoyable Sunday!
Got some bad news yesterday! My son, an avid hunter, fell on his way down from the tree stand and broke some ribs. Needless to say, he is not feeling too well this morning! My husband will go and help out for a few days, especially with his dogs!

I purchased this beautiful SWEET PEA Poinsettia Fairy and I could not wait to ink her up. She is so stunning. Of course, the final step was taping this lovely image onto the card and I'm sure your keen eyes will notice that it is CROOKED....LOL!!!!
Scor Tape is unforgiving....no way I was going to get this baby off!!!!
Anyway, all papers are from my scrap pile. The beautiful lace was a gift from my sweet friend, Danielle! Love, love it!!! Flowers are from Prima.

Thanks for visiting my blog....your comments are always appreciated. Hugs!
