hAnglar Rag Doll Cutie

I have made another card using the little hAnglar rag doll. I will be entering the card at Lovely Hanglar Only Challenge blog. The theme is lace and I used a pretty one from my stash. All the matting is from a 6X6 pad from Making Memories called Chloe's Closet. I must have had it for two years now and I think I only used it ones. The image is colored with Distress Inks. The jewels are from Martha Stewart and I used a Fiskar's punch for the three small flowers. The inside is not yet finished so nothing more to show.

Happy Friday everybody and hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Robinhood Edwin

Today I made a card for Just Magnolia and Magnolia Down Under. I have had this Cosmo Cricket Paper forever and I really love it. If I could take some good pictures I think it would show how pretty the paper really is.

I colored Edwin with Distress Inks and popped him up on 3 layers of circles cut with round Nestabilities. As I was looking for some flowers to add, these daisies from Martha Stewart seemed to be just perfect. The little ticket tag is a new die and stamp set from PTI and I used PTI's Smokey Shadow ink for the saying.

What do you think? I appreciate you dropping by....

hAnglar Rag Doll for Friday Sketchers

It's the weekend....yeah.... and I get to craft a little.
When I saw yesterdays sketch for Friday Sketchers, I was surprised that I had unknowingly started a card that had a lot of the elements already cut and ready to go. All I needed to do was cut an oval and do some embellishment.

Vielen Dank Tanja, jetzt konnte ich schnell eine Karte fertigen.

The matting is from PTI and the DP is Pink Paisley. I colored this cute image with Distress Inks and made some flowers with the single layered ones from Prima and sewed on PTI bottons. That's the only "sewing" I have done so far on my cards. I used my ice white Viva Pearl Pen on the Nestability Die Label Ten. The ribbon/garn is from my stash and the bronze label is from SU.

Wow, I am not rambling today.....

I hope you will give this sketch a try because I really enjoyed using it.

Santa's List

Okay, I know. Something is up, I just don't know what it is......lololol. I don't craft for months and all the sudden I am going crazy. I never stopped but so far it has only been in my head.
I started last night on this Christmas card and I had almost all the papers placed and cut the way I wanted them, except for the brown horizontal one. Then as I was checking Jeannette's blog this morning I saw that she was the hostess for this weeks Friday Sketchers. You all know that she is an extremely talented lady. I never have followed anybodies sketch or entered a challenge blog. So now I am trying for the second one..... Is this crazy, or what !?!?!

I hope I can keep the rest short and sweet, since I have been rambling. Okay, I used SU caramel for the base of the card and the matting is Basic Grey Wassail, last years Christmas paper. The green one is PTI from the Green Tea Leaves collection. The image is a digital one from Sassy Cheryl. Since it is digital, I had to print it out on the watercolor paper that I got at the local CS. It  is thinner but you can't color as well but I "had to" use distress inks...lololol. It is cut with the Spellbinders Label 1 and the green paper with Label 8. I cut the brown DP with a large rectangle. The ribbon is from my stash and the die cuts are from Fiskars. Some Dew Drops and a X-mas tree charm from my stash. Sorry, I can't get a better picture today but if you enlarge it I think you can get a better idea of the colors. One minute the sun is shining and the next minute the clouds are back.

Voila!!! My first Christmas card for 2010. I hope you like it. Thanks for dropping by and enjoy your Sunday ....

Vintage Tilda Princess

I decided for the first time ever to enter a card challenge. The Just Magnolia challenge this week is VINTAGE. I love Vintage but I don't think I quite hit the mark.
I finally colored a Tilda again using Copics. Christina sent me this cutie...thanks my friend. The die cuts are also a gift from Christina and it is the first time I used them. I can't believe I waited so long, they are great to work with and I really love the results.
The CS is from PTI and the matting is Websters Pages. I distressed the papers with the Tim Holtz Distresser and also aged the papers with Antique Linen Distress Ink. The flowers are from Prima and I punched out a flower with a Retro Flower Punch for the Mini Rose.  I almost forgot to mention that the wine colored rose is from the Blog Candy I received from Jacque. Thanks so much !!! The leaves are made with an MS punch. I used my Viva Pearl Pen Cream to add the pearls to the ovals. The flowers and Tilda are covered in mega Diamond Stickles but I don't think it really shows. The brown lace is from my stash and I topped it with a Webster Ribbon..

I guess that's all for today. Thanks so much for taking a look at my creation.

Fairy Tabia

I have finished another card that will finally make it's way to San Francisco. I hope the little girl will like it.

I so love the Mo's images. They are so cute and I have a small collection of Mo's digital images that have never seen any ink. Well, one of these days they all will show up on one of my cards.

I used SU Lavender Lace and Kaisercraft DP for the matting. Tabia is colored with Copics and I added some Diamond Glaze to the bubbles. Several Prima flowers were layered for a more dimensional look and I added some Dew Drops and a paper clip from my stash.

For the inside I also chose the Kaisercraft DP, ribbon from my stash and Mini Prima Roses. I cut the clouds with a PTI die and the saying is also from PTI from the Mega Mixed Messages set.

I am scheduling this card and I hope it works. This is the second time I have done it, so wish me luck.

I hope you like Tabia as much as I do. I think she is the cutiest fairy around.
Have a wonderful weekend and thanks for dropping by....

Lockhart Orchid

Today I like to show you a little, simple card I finished a few weeks ago. I really like this little stamp from Karen Lockhart. Orchids are such delicate flowers that lend themselves for simple cards. I colored the flowers with Prisma pencils and the cardstock and matting is from my stash. Instead of using a ribbon I chose the material they used to use to support the orchid stems with. For the life of me, I can't remember what it is called. Maybe somebody with a green thumb can help me out. Both the sayings on the outside and inside are from PTI.

On the inside I stamped an image from PTI Background Basics, Spots and Dots with PTI Pure Poppy. The red label was cut with the Mat Stack #1 die cut and the white label with a die cut from the Tea for Two collection from Papertrey Ink.

Well, that is it for today. Have a great Thursday and thanks for stopping by.
