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

Gingerbread Tilda



Good morning everyone...hope your day will be wonderful! I inked up this cutie last night using some elements of a layout created by Lena Katrine which she created for the LOTV challenge. This adorable Tilda is available for Pre-order at Diana's Magnolia-licious store.
The flowers are from Jolee and Prima. The beautiful velvet ribbon was a gift from a dear friend. The papers are all from last year's Magnolia Christmas collection.
Tilda is colored with copics.
I'd like to thank you for visiting my blog. Your continued support means the world to me. Hugs, Christina

Happy Winter



Good afternoon everyone! My goodness, we are experiencing a "wind storm" in Wisconsin today....50 to 60mph wind gusts!!!! The electricity tends to flicker on and off all day, so I will make this a very quick post. The papers I used on this card are Karen Foster and a scrap sheet from a couple of years ago. The beautiful rose and heart doily were a gift from my wonderful friend Jacque. Thank you so much! The ribbon is from Raspberry Ribbons. I colored this adorable Haenglar image with copics.
Thank you for visiting. I appreciate all of you so much. Hugs!

Sneaky Tilda



Hello everyone! This is my second post today...what can I say, it's a boring day!
It's raining all day and I needed a birthday card.
This card was totally inspired by the lovely and incredibly talented TANYA. She also created this sketch for STEMPELEINMALEINS Challenge #10.
This cutie is currently on Re-Order at Diana's Magnolia-licious Store.
I used papers that I purchased several years ago from Cloud 9 Design. Ribbons are by Raspberry Ribbons and the sentiment is from SU with a Webster's Pages sparkler in the center. The image is colored with copics.
Thanks for your visit. Hugs!

Mini Haenglar Easel Card



Hi everyone and a very happy Sunday! I made this card for the Lovely Hanglar Only challenge #10 "non-square easel card". I used one of my mini haenglars for this challenge. I used Nesties, scraps of Christmas paper, Cuttlebug snowflake dies in the background and I colored the image with copics.
Thank you for visiting my humble blog. Hugs to all, christina

THINK PINK



Good afternoon everyone...hope you are having a wonderful weekend. We are looking at four days of rain...great to stay inside and craft!
I made this card for two challenges....Friday Sketchers #125 following a fabulous sketch by the ueber-talented Jacque and Just Magnolia Week 78 "Think Pink".
I made this card with my dear friend Jacque in mind and my wonderful, brave niece Elona. My niece (a high school science teacher) is a young lady with three beautiful children, one of whom is a special child with autism. Let me tell you, they both faced this enemy with such class, dignity and unbelievable courage and in Jacque's case, with endless humor. You gals are the BEST!!!!!! My niece underwent a double mastectomy and is on the road to recovery.
I also want to take this opportunity to wish ELISE, who was recently diagnosed, the very best. We are all with you and will celebrate your recovery.
Now on to my card! I really went out on a limb with the dp....not sure it all fits!!
LOL...I used papers from Crafty Secrets, Best Creations and Dove. Lace is from my stash and the ribbon is from Raspberry Ribbons. The lovely corners are from Kort&Godt. I love this image, but was reluctant to use her because coloring this cutie was a bit of a challenge.
