Sweet November Princess Collection

Early last year I stumbled across a blog titled A Thousand Sheets of Paper and fell in love with a fairy named Coriander.  When I inquired as to where I could find the image, I discovered that Amy had hand drawn the beautiful fairy but not to fear, as All That Scraps would be releasing her in April.  That was February 2010 and I counted down the days to her release - just like most stampers, I too have an obsessive streak!.

My waiting paid off and I created this card with Coriander:

Today marks the fourth day of previews from Amy's newest release, The Princess Collection, on the All That Scraps blog!  Oh my!  The new dragon is delicious and the new princesses are AMAZING!  You can check them out here!  The new release will be available for purchase Monday, January 3rd, 2011 - What a fabulous way to ring in the new year!!!

See you all tomorrow with the first challenge of the new year from Paper Sundaes Challenge Blog!

Tilda Says Thank You

Happy Tuesday!  First day back to work after the holidays and what do I do when I get home to the kids?  Run straight to the craft supplies!  With the hustle and bustle of the holidays behind us and visions of holiday bills ahead of us, I figured I'd hide from it all and finally finish the card I started early December.  This beauty is Tilda with Christmas Post:

I followed Mina's Sketch at Just Magnolia Challenge Blog.  

Totally Tilda Challenges wanted to see an easel card with Tilda.  Although I've used the gorgeous Christmas paper from Kaiser, I wanted to make a thank you card for my Aunt and Uncle.

 

I added sparkle arrange the edge of each layer with dazzling diamonds and Tilda is coloured with copics (of course!). 

Tilda will be entered into the following challenges:

Cupcake Crafts - Thank You

Simon Says Stamp - Anything Goes
Papertake Weekly - Be Thankful
Phindy's Place - Give Thanks (optional - with scraps)

Thank you for looking!  Remember that you have four days remaining in the "Cut It Out" challenge at Paper Sundaes Challenge Blog for your chance to win a $15 gift certificate to Simon Says Stamp!

Sugar for Daddy

Happy Tuesday!  Today I'd love to share with you the Sugar Nellie card I made for my hubby from the kids.  Our little darlings are both red haired so I coloured Mistletoe from the Home Grown Manga collection to match my son and daughter.

I have followed the current sketch at The Sugar Bowl and added the optional snowflakes in the corner of the image.  My husband's birthday is the 25th of December so this card is for both Christmas and his birthday. 

Once again I've used these gorgeous Christmas papers from Little Yellow Bicycle.

This card will be entered into the following challenges:

A Spoon Full of Sugar - Christmas Cards

Papertake Weekly - Christmas Birthdays

Craft Your Days Away - Punch It Out

Thank you for looking!

Celebrating Christmas Lil Lolita Style

Good evening!  After a weekend in Jasper with Christine, I've managed to finish three cards, colour two additional images, and start on a sixth image!  WOW!  The first card I would like to share with you is for the Everybody Art Challenge and her name is Lil Christmas Lolita Willow:

Thank you for looking!  I'll add some more views and details once my little monsters hit their beds - after two days apart I'm looking forward to dinner and some snuggles!
