Thankful Tilda

This sweet Fall Tilda card is for this week's Magnolia Down Under Challenge. We were to follow this sketch. It's also for Our Creative Corner where they had an inspiration photo. This designer paper is Basic Grey. The border punch is Martha Stewart. I colored the image with Copics. I love these fall colors together!

Simple Christmas Wishes

This soft Christmas card was fun! I made a "one sheet wonder" where you stamp an entire sheet of paper with your images to create a background. You then use it to create a few projects. I love the pine cone and branch from the "Peaceful Wishes" Stampin Up set so that's what I used here. Some sets work better for this than others. I'm entering this card in a couple challenges of course. The Mojo Monday #112 is this neat sketch. The one sheet wonder idea is from the Saturday Spotlight challenge. Hope you all have a great day!

Kisses for Santa

What a sweet Santa! This is one of the new release images from Whimsy Stamps. It's designed by Crissy Armstrong and we're all just in love with her work! I used watercolors on this project since it's the Whimsy Stamps Challenge this week. I used to do everything with watercolor but I fell in love with my Copics. This sketch is from Sketch and Stash Challenge this week. Thanks for letting me share it with you!

Guest Design Project for There's Magic in the Air

I am enjoying this month creating for Nina at There's Magic in the Air. I think it's wonderful she gives away her beautiful work each week! This week the image is this cute ice skating penguin! We were challenged to use a shiny material in our project. I had this holographic excessively shiny silver paper and knew it was perfect! So I added a few snowy trees (Magnolia) and some specks of snow (white ink spattered and Tulip fabric paint with chunky glitter) for a perfect skating pond for my penguin! Please head over to "There's Magic in the Air" to join us on this challenge this week!

The Fresh Batch Sketch #40

What a fun, snowy scene! This card is my take on this week's Fresh Batch sketch. I used "Tis the Season" from Stamps and Smiles. The snow is Tulip fabric paint topped with Martha Stewart "snow" glitter. The snowflakes are also Martha Stewart. I used some circle alphabet stickers from my stash. The sparkly fiber is from Michael's Christmas collection...it's really cool stretchy stuff! Please be sure you stop by The Fresh Batch to see the other ideas on this sketch and to play along with us this week!

Tiny card with big wishes

This week the designers at Angel's Landing were challenged to create a minature card of 3 inches or less. This was new and I enjoyed trying something different! I used the sweet bear image with the birdie friend from the "mini bears and birds" at Angel's Landing. I colored the image with Copics. The ribbon is a craft taffeta with a pink button on top. Be sure to check out the rest of the designers ideas for their mini cards on the Angel's Landing Blog!

Eleven Pipers Piping

Welcome to my part of the Whimsy Stamps Holiday hop through the "12 days of Christmas!" If you arrived from Crissy's blog you're on the right track~ if not please head to Bev's if you'd like to start from the very beginning!

We are thrilled to welcome Crissy Armstrong and are loving her new stamps for Whimsy! There is candy to be had...so be sure to comment on the Whimsy blog for your chance to win. This event will end November 13th at noon EST. Be sure to hit each stop on the hop as the new designs are wonderful and you won't want to miss a thing!

I did an easel card for my project. Here's a link to how to make one. I used Crissy's adorable snowman and friend stamp. I like this one particularly since it can be used for holidays and winter too! It is colored with Copic markers. I printed out a digital snowflake stamp really large and in blue. I filled in the snowflake with Stickles to add some sparkle! I cut out my snowman image with a circle Nestability and layered it on a larger one in teal. I put dimensional adhesive behind the circle to raise it above the bottom layer snowflake. I punched two large snowflakes (Martha Stewart snowflake punch). I used the Merry Christmas postage sentiment from Whimsy to go inside the snowflake punch. The easel base is decorated with red velvet ribbon and self adhesive snowflake flocked lace by We R Memory Keepers (Hobby Lobby). I'm really happy with how it turned out!

Now that I've shared my snowman with you it's time for you to move along in the song. Your next verse is with Denise. Have a great time and don't worry...no one will know if you're singing along off key!

Project Tuesday -Pocket Card

This week's project is a fun one. I've made several of these over the years and always like them! You can find a nice tutorial here for these. I was feeling sunny today so I went with a bright color! I used the Magnolia sun stamp. The sentiment is "happy swirl" by Stampendous. I used Copics to color the sun and a Stampin Up marker for the sentiment. The star designer paper is from my stash and really old, sorry. Please dont' forget to stop by Project Tuesday to see the huge variety of takes on this! We'd love for you to play along!

Guest Design Project for There's Magic in the Air

This week for Nina we were asked to do a monochromatic card with this beautiful platter of pumpkins. Hop over to Nina's blog and grab this pretty image for free and play along! I printed the image twice and used dimensional adhesive to layer the pumpkins. I used double on the smallest pumpkin as it's in the front. I think it turned out neat! I love these warm fall colors! The background paper is embossed with a Cuttlebug folder. The fiber is from EK Success. Hope you all enjoy a beautiful Fall day!
