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)

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!

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!
