Something For You Tilda Vintage Xmas

I have been busy shopping for Christmas and I am DONE!
Back to card making
 Well at least enjoy the only granddaughter I have.

 I watercolored Tilda with Aged Mahogoney, Forest Moss, Old paper  and walnut.  The paper is Simple Stories "25 Days of Christmas"  I used a Spellbinders die "Fleur De Lis" behind Tilda from the same paper.  Then I sprayed the front of the card with Gold Glimmer Mist from "Tattered Angels"
 This is the Magnolia Doohickey Tag combined with Papertrey die from tiny tags.  I used the same paper as the card. One piece of DP for this 1 card, awesome.
 Here is a angel so that you can see the die and snowflake.
 The inside is from the DP and I added the snowflakes and the writing space shape from the Cricut cartridge "Art Philosophy" from Close to My Heart.
I hope you enjoyed my card. Thanks for stopping by!!

Winter Tilda Birthday Card

Been busy with sick children and I had to move my craft room again. Our lives are always busy and we do not sit down much.   Then we added a puppy to the mix of animals we already have, he is a chewer so he is not allowed in my craft room.
My 3 year old thought he should help me with this card and there are a few mishaps and so after fixing them, this is my Winter Tilda.

 She is colored with Copics and I used Stampin Up paper and ribbon in Baja Breeze and Marina Mist.
 This is crepe paper from Melissa Frances swirled and then a star, snowflake and pearl are put on top of it.

 I have various paper flowers from Wild Orchid and Melissa Frances and Webster Pages Cameo pin. I also dotted liquid pearls in different places to accent.

The tag and writing shape is from my Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge.

My 3 year old and his new Pug puppy Dozer.  He is named after Tractors that my son loves, he also named his sister-in-law Popper after a John Deere tractor. 
Thanks for stopping by and I hope your week is nice.

Glittering Tilda in Plum for Xmas

I am using a new Glittering Tilda from the Sweet Christmas Dreams Collection. She is so easy to color and to be creative with so I am having fun with her a bit.  I put the big Santa Hat on her from the same collection.  It is a big hat to fill.

I invested in more Copic markers and they are very saturated in ink so blending was interesting for me.  
skin: E0000, E00, E21, R20
Hair: E23, E33, E35, E53
Apron: W00, W1, W5
Tinsel: Y21
Dress: RV63, RV66, RV69
 The Big Santa Hat has Bakers Twine tied into a ribbon from Jillebean

The inside I wanted to look like a present and the middle is a snowflake made by my Cricut, (I bet you know the cartridge) LOL and then a swirl of Melissa Frances crepe paper garland.

I used the new swirl too-hickey and some snow as well as my favorite paper this year, Magnolia Sweet Dream Collection, PLUM.


I went to a moving sale and bought a industrial juicer and meat slicer for very little money, they were only used one time.  We made Apple, orange and lemon juice this morning.  I made apple cider with the apple juice and a little pulp. Then simmered it with Sonoma cider mullings.
Next is slicing beef for Beef Jerky.  I do not use pre-mixed jerky mix, I have my own recipes but to have thin sliced meat will be a lot better for dehydrating.
Thank you for stopping by today! Happy Crafting.

Another Something For You Tilda colored in Distressed Inks, spun sugar and black soot.
The shape of the card is from Art Philosophy by Close to My Heart.

 In a spellbinders die is the sentiment from Papertrey Ink 
Love Lives Here-Holiday set and I stickled the edge with silver
 In the background I used Liquid Pearls in petal pink and white opal

 The inside I stamped images from Papertrey Inks Love Lives Here-Holidays set
and used the matching die to make the angel.

Thank you for taking the time to leave me your opinion of my card.

Sweet Christmas Dreams in Snowflakes

Cannot get enough of these girls

 I used Distressed Ink and glittered snowflakes  to put around her. 
I stamped a Christmas sentiment that I had for years on the back and then mounted Tilda on the top with dimensionals.  The paper is last years from Fancy Pants.
 Stickled the edges and a few vague snowflakes are stamped on the background inside and outside of the card.  She is just so fun to color and admire.   I think it is because I have 6 boys and 1 girl so I really like the sweetness of the Maggies.
Thanks for all the nice comments you leave me, I appreciate them

My First Sweet Christmas Card

I am in Maggie heaven with my new stamps.  I love them, they are so sweet no matter how bad you color them.  I have been through quite a few images before getting them right. Practice makes perfect you know.

 I need to find new watercolor paper! I used distressed inks which I love to use, but the paper balls up and is hard to blend so it was a challenge to get her the way I wanted.
 The tree is from Sizzix and I glittered it.
 The snowflakes, heart and other shapes are from the Cricut cartridge Art Philosophy. My flowers are from Websters.  I do not know the name of the paper, sorry about that, I got garbage happy and cannot find it.
Thank you for stopping by to see my first Christmas card for this year. I am so excited to make more of these little darlings.

Tilda with a Flowerpot

No Cartridge this time, just Magnolia Doohickeys and Marianne Creatables.






Copics:: Dress B91, 95, 97
Coat:: E31,42,43
Hair:: 100 C0,C05, C07
Pot:: YR 12, 14,24
Flowers:: R30, 32, 43
Leaves:: G94, 99
Skin:: E00, 11, R20
The DP is from Adorn it the Daisy Dew Collection

I believe this is the first time in quite a while that I colored with Copics very well. My shading is slowly getting better and I was able to get the colors to blend.  Kinda proud of myself.

Yesterday was my daughter's 18th birthday and we took the whole family and her beau out to the Texas Roadhouse for dinner. MMMM
She is currently in college for Firefighting, EMT and eventually a Paramedic.  Now as a little curly haired shy blond growing up, I would have never thought this is the path she would take as a career.
She is a awesome child of God and we are proud to be her parents!

Thanks for looking today, have a great weekend,
Happy creating, Kelly
