A Blessing to the Other....

HAPPY THANKSGIVING to everyone.

We are planning some fun time with table games and dinner out, this is a first for us but for this year, we thought it would be easier.

Today, I have another fall themed card. I liked the new designer papers and I cut in half a strip of felt border for an accent. I made the flowers and there are three layers of ribbon. It is a simple card, hope you like it.... I would love to read your comments.


Supplies:
CS - DCWV & CTMH
DP - Scribble Scrabble
Stamp - Verse by 'Unknown'
Felt border by Queen & Co.
Brads by Bazzill BAsic Paper & Basic Grey
Punches by Fiskar & EK Success

Tilda Sitting on a Log

Morning everyone. My goodness, it is very cold and foggy out in my neck of the woods - Brrr!!

I posted a card late last night but I decided to post another one this morning since I was able to get a couple completed yesterday.

Today's card is fitting with leaves everywhere. I have Tilda sitting on a log, giggling, with leaves all around her. The leaves have Diamond Glaze on them, so they shine...hard to see it in the pic. I used a border punch in two colors to add trim to the top border. I am following the sketch from Mojo Monday 114. The designer paper has the look of leaves falling down.

Hope you enjoyed it. I enjoy reading your comments.

CS - DCWV & CTMH
DP - Scribble Scrabble

Punches - Border punch from Martha Stewart & Leaves from 'unknown'
Others - Ribbon, Button, Diamond Glaze, Prismacolor Markers

Emma Playing in the Leaves

Happy Wednesday everyone. It sure has been raining a lot here and snowing big time in our cascade mountains.... the ski lifts are already open. Now I am not a skier, actually I would be a danger for anyone around me if I was on skies....I tried it a couple times many years ago and that was enough for a lifetime. LOL

Today I have an autumn card for you. I used a digi image called Emma in the Leaves by Fred She Said. I also used digi background paper from Cuddly Buddly , they went so well together. Emma looked like she was having fun, playing with the leaves.
Our trees in the neighborhood have had beautiful fall colors, it is a joy to drive around to see them all but they are also dropping their leaves a little more quickly due to the wind and rains we are having. So it seemed fitting to use this image.


After I posted this card this morning, I decided to finish off in the inside... here it is.


Have a wonderful day.

Supplies:
CS - SU
DP - Cuddly Buddly & Provo Craft
Image - Digi image "Emma in the Leaves" from Fred She Said
Others - Spellbinder dies, "Tradition" sticker from Marcella by K, ribbon, Leaf button from Dress It Up and Prismacolor markers.

CAS Just Magnolia

I will have to say, at first, I was finding it hard to make a 'Clean and Simple' card for the Magnolia-licious Highlights challenge. I keep looking at it and thinking that it needs something here or there.... and then I have to stop myself and say "no, keep it simple".

I made two cards - the first one is a fall colored theme. I could not resist making a flower for the fall card, it just seemed like a good fit - I did Cuttlebug the gold portion of the flower to give it some added design. I used the Spellbinder Fleur De Lis die and some pearls to finish it off.


I wasn't going to add any design elements to the inside but I had already cut out a gold flower, so I decided to not waste it and create another flower for the inside too.


I was having fun, so I decided to make another card. This one has that 'fresh' look with white and a bold color. I used the Cuttlebug to create a design on white. Spellbinder dies and brads and it completed the card.


This paper matched the color scheme and was a clean and simple way to decorate the inside.


Thanks for stopping by, I would love to know what you think?

Tilda Leaves - MMSC23

I stayed up late last night making this card. It was so much fun, I just love fall leaves and I wanted to make something for the Midnight Madness week 23 challenge.

Midnight Madness is having their first Blog Hop, where you have a chance to win a fabulous prize. It is so much fun to hop to all the blogs, collect the clues and enjoy seeing all the cards that were made by so many talented artists.

For my card, Tilda was holding a bird but I put a pumpkin in it's place. The basket and rake were from a Sandylion sticker set and it helped to make the scene complete. To follow the sketch, I needed something to fan around the image and so the obvious choice for me was leaves.

Hope you like it, I would love to hear your comments.



Supplies:
CS & DP - DCWV
Stamps - Tilda Bird on Hand from Magnolia, Single Pumpkin from Darcie's, Double Pumpkins from 'unknown', Sentiment from Peddlers Pack
Sticker Set - Sandylion
Punches (small leaves) - EK Success
Others: Silk Leaves, Ribbon, Spellbinder dies, Prismacolor markers

It's The Little Things

I thought it would be fun to change my background to reflect an autumn feel and ran across one I really liked on One Cute Blog, It was so cute. Hope you enjoy it too.

I had a wonderful day today, no errands so I spent most of the day in my craft room. I have not had the opportunity to do that for quite some time and it felt great. I managed to complete a couple cards.

I was pretty pleased with how this card turned out. The layout was for the Stamp with Fun Challenge.
The flowers are soft, like suede and the background designer paper is shiny and sparkly. Everything else seemed to fall into place. I just LOVE these colors, I guess that is why I love the fall season.
It may be hard to see, but I used the Cuttlebug to create texture on the dark green card stock.





Supplies:
Papers from DCWV, K & Company
Stamps from StampinUp
Others: Spellbinder (Octagons), Cuttlebug, ribbon, charm, brads (Bazzill Basic Paper)

Mojo Monday Challenge #106

Today, I decided to try this weeks Mojo Monday Challenge. I wanted to create an antique look by inking and crumpling the edges, not something I usually do. I was trying to decide what to put in the center of my flower and found this large brad from K & Company, that was a perfect fit.
My coloring on Tilda was not the best and I am finding that Prismacolor markers do not have as many different colors as does the Copics, I will have to think about this one for I love the alchohol markers.



Supplies:
Image: Tilda with Cross #270 from Magnolia
Papers: SU, DCWV & Basic Grey (Ambrosia)
Others: Punch from Martha Stewart, Brad from K & Company, Ribbon from Making Memories.

Have a great day.

My First Tilda

Good morning everyone, at least it is morning where I am and it is a chilly one...I let the dog out and brrrr, it was cold outside. I had to go check the temp and sure enough , it was only 40 degrees outside.

Today's card was my first Tilda. I paper pieced the hat and dress, that was fun and easy. It was also my first attempt at face coloring and it did not turn out an nice as I would have liked...this will take some practice and finding the right combination of markers to do it. It is hard to see but I have pearls going along the lace. Also hard to see is that I used the Cuttlebug to provide texture to the brown weaved paper pattern.









Supplies:
Stamps: 'Tilda n Hat Sitting' from Magnolia & saying by 'Hero Arts'
Papers from DMCW
Others: Spellbinders, Cuttlebug, pearls, lace

Have a great day.
