Tilda with Sparkly Hood

Hope everyone is having a happy Saturday. I ventured out today to pick something up from the craft store and was prepared to tackle the crowds, but was pleasantly surprised to find the stores like normal - that was a relief since I am not a fan of crowds.

I have another Christmas Tilda card for you today, following the Friday Sketchers #80 challenge. I just love this particular Tilda and I decided to put glitter on her hooded trim. It really dressed up the outfit so I added a little more down on her coat. The button are actually very tiny black pompoms that I glued on. The flowers were made with shimmery red CS and then added gems & crystal snowflakes for the centers. It is hard to notice but I used yellow paint for yellow dots on the poinsettia's.


Supplies:
CS - DCWV
DP - Provo Craft & Basic Grey
Image - Tilda with Hood by Magnolia
Punch - Leaf by Martha Stewart
Others - Glitter glue, yellow paint, black mini pompoms, gems & crystal snowflakes

Glad you stopped by.

Hootie Pie Christmas

Hello everyone. I assume by now, you may have thought that I had given up my mojo challenge. Actually, I was very busy with other commitments and did not have time to get into my craft room. I really did miss it. Well I think that I am back into the groove but with the holidays fast approaching, I will need to divert my attention to getting ready. So my posts may be a bit, hit and miss but, I hope that you will stop by to see if I have anything new.

I like to blog hop and see all the amazing cards that everyone makes... so many talented people. One thing that I noticed are the wonderful background papers that so many use. So I decide to take the plunge and order me some. They came and I am in Heaven..... now I have to decide which one to use first - LOL.

Today I have a Christmas card (you will be seeing A LOT of these) and followed the Friday Sketchers 79 challenge. I just love this cute owl from Pink Cat Studio, called Hootie Pie. I added white Flower Soft on the hat to give it dimension and a little shimmer. I also put glitter on the branches and little snowflakes - it is hard to see it. Naturally 'after' I had it put together, I wanted to add another layer on my flower but it was too late.

Hope you like it, let me know what you think?

Billy Staying Warm & more blog candies

Happy Friday everyone. I have a busy weekend planned, but they always are. I hope I can squeeze in some stamping time. I do hope the rain will stop for a couple days for our lawn is getting more yellow with all the leaves dropping and I just have not felt like getting out in the rain to tackle the job.

I was trying to complete a card for Friday Sketchers but did not get it done in time for I have been fighting headaches. I finally finished it this morning and like how it turned out - it looks better in person than the photo. Since it is all glittery, I am including it in two other challenges, Allsorts Challenge and Cute Card Thursday - Glitter me silly. The snowflake is a free graphic that I enlarged, cut out and added glitter so that it sparkles. I love this color combo, using papers from DCWV and the image is Billy Hot Cocoa from Pink Cat Studio. They have a bunch of cute digi stamps. I used liquid applique on his marshmellows so that they puff up and look real. I finished it off with some rhinestones for some added glitz.

I love to know what you think by adding a comment.

Waiting Tilda in Pink

Happy Monday everyone. Whoa, what a busy weekend we had. I was coloring a Tilda and was drawn to the color pink so I decided to make a monochromatic card for the Just Magnolia challenge. It was fun to make, I followed the Friday Sketchers 76 Challenge design and thought it came out pretty good. I was challenged to find the right combination of designer papers to use and so decided to use the Cuttlebug on white to help the texture and design. I also used Liquid Applique on Tilda's scarf so that it puffed up and looked all soft and warm.


Supplies:
CS - Conquer
DP - DCWV
Image - Waiting Tilda from Magnolia
Punches - Fiskars, EK Success, Martha Stewart
Cuttlebug - Embossing folders Swiss Dot and Snowflakes
Others - Liquid Applique, Rhinestone & Prismacolor markers

Have a great weekend.

Betty Pie Monochromatic

Happy Friday to everyone. Hard to believe another week has passed, it went by so quickly. Today, my daughter is dropping off their two dogs for us to 'dog sit' for the weekend. It will be a crazy time around here with three dogs in our small home, along with our two cats who have NOT met them yet. I am sure at least one of them will stay under the bed most of the time.

Well today, I have a monochromatic card for last weeks Friday Sketchers challenge. I was not able to complete it in time. I used all coordinating papers from Stampin Up and to dress it up, I decided to make some flowers and added a charm for that special touch. I used another digi stamp from Pink Cat Studio, I think they are so cute.


Let me know what you think and have a great weekend.

CS - CTMH
DP - SU

Friday Sketcher Wk 73

I have two posts for today, this one is for the Friday Sketcher Week 73 challenge.

I decided to use this sketch to make a sympathy card for my sister. Her husband passed away this past Sunday. He is no longer in pain and is now with the Lord, Praise God!! He will be greatly missed. I wanted to give the card to her before I posted it here, since she would see it.

This was a fun challenge and it worked great for this card.
I did not have the right coordinating paper to go with my main background paper, so I two different inks to alter one that was close. Then I stamped roses on it, so it would blend with the background. Well that is about all.


Sorry, this picture came out blurry but you will get the idea.


Supplies:
CS - unknown
DP - DCWV & Paper Pizazz
Stamped Sentiment - Rubber Stampede
Brads - Bazzill Basic Paper
Rose - Darcies
Punches - EK Success & Cutting Edge
Others: Spellbinder dies, ribbon, silk flowers/leaves, lace.

Happy Tuesday everyone. Oh my goodness, I could not believe that it was down in the 30's this morning, brrrrr!!!! Well, that allowed me more time in my craft room, which I am enjoying immensely.

Today, I completed a Friday Sketchers challenge. I just love the layout and will make another one.



Trying to break away from my pinks and found some blue-green papers, that I thought would be perfect for this one. To create a more 3D look, I popped up the saying and flowers.
Let me know what you think??
