Tilda Hanging Ornaments

Happy Sunday!  This week on Paper Sundaes Challenge Blog we would like to see you 'adorn those corners' of your image.  I attempted to first adorn my corners using my sewing machine - trying to mimic the style of Michele Boyer that I love - however I was not successful.  Ended up covering up my sewing failure with punches and Prima flowers in one corner and a Prima ornament die cut in the other.  I love this Magnolia image from the Merry Little Christmas collection, Tilda Hanging Ornaments.

Once again I've stamped Tilda in Memento ink and coloured her with my beloved copic markers.  I have added sparkle to her shirt with dazzling diamonds.

I have used my sewing machine to stitch around the edges of the patterned paper on the front and the inside fo the card.

I have used a strip from the Little Yellow Bicycle paper for the inside of the card.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Simon Says Challenge - Let It Snow

Just Magnolia - Sketch

All That Scraps Magnolia Challenge #4 - Something Christmas

Thank you for looking!  I look forward to seeing how you 'adorn those corners' for your chance to win a $15 gift certificate to Simon Says Stamp!

Tania Baking Up Some Love for a Friend

Happy Sunday!  This week on Paper Sundaes Challenge Blog we are asking you to "Pick Your Sundae Toppings"!  We'd like to see your creation with at least two of the following toppings: punches, ribbon, the colour blue, or embossing.  For my creation I've topped my sundae with punches and the colour blue - obviously!  Tania Baking is stirring up some love and well wishes for an on-line friend of mine who has recently gone through some troubled times.

I have used my friend Christine's Spellbinders Nestabilities Labels Eight to create a hidden message behind the image and my Stampin' Up! border punch to compliment the scallop patterns on the paper.

I used the same die to cut out the inside sentiment.  Both sentiments are from the same set available here.

Thank you for looking!  I look forward to seeing which two, three, or four sundae toppings you use for your creations!

A Sneaky Tilda for My Daughter

The Merry Little Christmas Collection from Magnolia this year is fantastic!  One of my first purchases from this collection from Diana at Magnolia-licious was this beauty, Sneaky Tilda:

After making a card last week for my son, my daughter started insisting that I make one for her too!  My little princess loves the colour purple so this paper from the Bo Bunny Winter Joy collection is perfect.  The layout design of the card is from Sketch Saturday.

I used Stampin' Up! Dazzling Diamonds on the edge of the image, the sentiments, and the paper on the inside of the card.  There are two clear snowflakes on the front of the card that are difficult to photograph but you can see them on the close-up of the image:

The sentiments used are from Whiff of Joy (thanks Christine!). 

I am writing this post at work right now as I had it scheduled and fell asleep before I wrote it up last night.  I will add the copic details tonight from home!  I am excited to report that Diana mailed my pre-order of Christmas Maggies on Thursday last week and I received it this past Monday - just two business days later! I am looking forward to colouring and sharing the rest of the images!

I will be entering Sneaky Tilda into the following challenges:

Just Magnolia - Anything Goes

A Spoon Full of Sugar - Snow/Snowflakes

Thank you for looking!

Uru and Bird in the Snow

Happy Sunday!  Paper Sundaes Challenge Blog is back this week with the challenge "Let It Snow!" sponsored by Stamp and Create.  Lacey carries a wide selection of stamps including Wags n' Whiskers, Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps, Lil Lolita, and Whiff of Joy.  Norma Fickel designed this cute image, Uru and Bird:

Surprisingly this week I chose to take a pass on the sketch challenges and created my own.  I used foam squares to add dimenstion and micro beads to add texture on the bottom of the image.  

Stamp and Create also carries the most amazing selection of charms.  Last winter I bought this cute little snowflake from Stamp and Create that I've attached to the bow with a jump ring:
