November Entries for Hjertebodens Jule Blog

Good morning to all my wonderful blog followers and friends! Hope you are enjoying a fabulous weekend! This month at Hjertebodens, we are to make a card with products from the store. Well, I tried to make a purchase at the store, but the checking out process was a lost cause.....it is a Norwegian site. Then, I remembered the cute little gift bag I received as a gift from the Christmas blogg, along with the red rose and glimmer mist (used that on the rose). Well, I decorated the bag with the darling Angel Tilda from the current Nativity Collection. She is colored with copics and showcased on papers from Norway, purchased a couple of years ago. I also used my Magnolia angel wing dies. The back of the gift bag is very simply decorated.

Next, I created a card with the darling Tilda with large bouquet, using papers purchased several years ago from Inkido. The Christmas tree is a Marianne Creatables die.

Finally, I made another Chocolate treat card featuring a Bildmalarna image. The papers are Magnolia, which I distressed with white paint to tone down the colors a bit.

The inside of the treat card features a Magnolia sentiment and a Stampscapes and Magnolia tree.

Pion Vintage Christmas

Good evening everyone! I don't know about you, but I'm so happy that all the pre-election craziness is OVER!!!!!!!!!! My phone is finally silent and I don't have to listen to all those negative ads!!!!!!!!!! I just hope that everyone will work together for the good of the country.

I wanted to create a card showcasing the gorgeous Pion Design papers. I think those angels are so beautiful....I added a little dazzle and I hope you like it.
Also, here is a picture of our Buddy....relaxing! He is a rescue dog we were blessed with two years ago. He's brought so much joy into our lives....a really special dog!

Life is rough....isn't it????

Thank you for visiting my blog.....I sure appreciate it!!!! Big Hugs, Christina

Christmas treat cards

Good afternoon to all my fellow bloggers. Hope you are having a fabulous Monday wherever you are! I made a couple of treat cards for Christmas which I would like to share with you. The first features Joyful Tilda on BoBunny papers from last year. She is colored with copics.

The inside of the card is very simple....nothing fancy, except the yummy treat!
My other card is vintage style using papers from my scrap pile.

Thank you for visiting my humble blog. I appreciate your comments so much. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your continued support. Hugs!!!!!

Bildmalerna Christmas

Good afternoon to all my lovely blogging friends! I just received this adorable Bildmalerna stamp in the mail the other day and, of course, I had to make a card with it. I think the new Bildmalerna Christmas collection is outstanding...so many darling images to play with! The image is showcased on the new Maja Papers "It's Christmas Time"....love those papers! The tree is a Memory Box die and the lovey bells and sleigh are from Marianne Creatables. I colored the image with copics.

The inside of the card is quite simple. As you can see, I stamped the sentiment right onto the designer paper.

Thank you for visiting my blog and taking a few minutes out of your busy day to leave a comment. It is very much appreciated. Hugs, Christina

Forest Tilda

Good afternoon to all my lovely blogging friends....hope you are having a fabulous weekend!

I created a card showcasing Forest Tilda. My friend, Danielle, told me the other day that this Tilda reminds her of my daughter and I would have to agree! My daughter spends most of her time in the forest....for work and pleasure! She and her husband go hunting, fishing, hiking, canoeing, camping, etc. etc. They both enjoy and respect their environment. As a matter of fact, she had long blond braids for a very long time while in primary school.

Tilda is colored with copics. Papers are from Magnolia, as well as the fence die. The clouds are a Memory Box die.

Thank you so much for visiting my blog and for your continued support. I appreciate it sincerely. Hugs, Christina

Tilda with Rudolph.....Once Again!

Greetings to everyone! I wanted to make another simple, easy to mail card featuring this adorable Tilda with Rudolph. I just love this precious image. She is colored with copics and showcased on papers from Magnolia. The lovely corner die is from Joy Crafts. As I look at this card, something is definitely missing....flowers!!!!! However, as I stated, I wanted a few cards for overseas that are less cumbersome to mail.

I will be taking part in Tilda's Town challenge this week where the theme is "Merry Christmas". Thank you so much for visiting my humble blog. I appreciate your visits so much. Thank you!

Tilda with Rudolph

OMG....I had a horrific experience today! My husband and I took our shepherd, Buddy, for a walk. When we approached our neighbor who lives approximately 1/2 mile north of us, I noticed all their hunting dogs out and they were all running towards us (about 12 dogs)!!!!! I knew immediately that this was going to get very BAD. This menacing posse was after my dog and all my husband was able to do is hold on to our dog. I screamed and started kicking my legs in every direction to protect Buddy. I saw the owner come running, but she only managed to get a few dogs away from us, leaving the worst ones for me to fight off! OMG......this was something out of a horror movie. I just screamed and kicked and cried, determined to save my Buddy. Every once in a while, one got to him and I heard him squeal. She finally came back to round up the three that were terrorizing us and managed to get them home. Let me tell you, I cried all the way home. Thank goodness that I decided to go along today because normally I don't walk on the weekends because I'm usually too tired after working all night.

Well, the neighbor called and she was crying too. She felt very bad and wanted to be sure that we are all OK. I checked Buddy out and there was no blood, but he was a little touchy on the back flank.

Not much to say about my card....it is a simple design using the adorable Tilda with Rudolph from the current Christmas collection. She is showcased on Pion Design papers and colored with copics.

Thank you for visiting my blog. I appreciate it very much. Hugs, Christina
