Tilda's Town Challenge #43 - Anything Goes

What a great time of year!  There are hints of the warmer weather to come and yet reminders that it's still winter.

Spring always reminds me of Easter!  What fun the Easter egg hunts used to be.  Does anyone do that anymore?  Well -- Tilda does!!!!!!!

She is just beside herself jumping for joy at the prospect of finding that special egg that has the prize.

 Happy Easter Tilda was colored with Copic Sketch markers.
The designer paper is from an old spring DCWV tablet.
The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and Hooked on Crafts.
The pink spikey flowers are from Melissa Frances Embellishments.
The butterfly clip is from my stash as is the checked ribbon.
The card base is Stampin' Up Bashful Blue.

Now you can see why Tilda is jumping for joy.  She found that special egg!!!

The Easter Egg is from Magnolia's Easter Collection 2009 and is colored with Copics.
The grass is cut using Doohickey die Grass.
The sentiment is from Gina K's Easter Blessings stamp set.

Here's hoping you have a wonderful Easter and maybe you will find that "special egg".
Thank you for stopping by and spending some time with me!

Last of February Birthday Cards

While getting pictures ready of my early March birthday cards for the Magnolia-licious birthday girls, I realized that I had not done a post showing the last two cards from February :(  I hope that by now the ladies have received their cards and are enjoying them.

The first one is Tilda with Slingshot.

She is just too cute in her summer shorts and getting ready to fire her slingshot.
She is colored with Copic Sketch markers and mounted on Spellbinders Floral Ovals.
The ribbon and pearls are from my stash.
The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.
The sentiment was computer generated and printed on Spellbinders Labels fourteen.
The green cardbase is from Stampin' Up.  I don't remember where the designer paper came from.

Here are the birthday wishes that Tilda used her slingshot to "sling" to Lani Almero.
All the shapes were cut with different Spellbinders dies and were all computer generated.
I don't remember which tablet the designer paper came from.

The last card is Joyful Tilda doing what she loves best - serving tea and cookies.
For birthdays she goes with cupcakes!

The pink card base is a Stampin' Up paper.  The designer paper is from an old stack of birthday papers I had.
The sentiment is from Lockhart and is stamped on a die cut tag from Spellbinders.
The cupcake brads are from my stash.
The ribbon is also from the stash.
Tilda was colored with Copics and mounted on another  Spellbinders die cut.

 

This is another piece of the birthday collection paper. 

The array of goodies is Magnolia's Baked with Love image.  I LOVE that image!!  I stamped it on Cryogen white and cut it with a Nestabilities Classic Ovals die.

The sentiment is a Lockhart stamp on Nestabilities Labels Fourteen.

Enjoy your birthday Gloria Jean Dawson!

Thank you all for stopping by and enjoying some cupcakes with our birthday girls.

Tilda's Town Challenge #41 - Christmas

This week's challenge at Tilda's Town is Christmas.  I love Christmas.  Our weather lately has been more Christmas than anything else, but we haven't been dumped on like the midwest.

My card for the challenge features Tilda on the Roof, Snowy Roof, Edwin's head and hat from Edwin Santa's Little Helper, and Edwin's beard from Sweet Christmas Edwin.  What fun putting this scene together was.

 All coloring was done with Copic Sketch markers - my very favorite!!

"Santa" must have been VERY surprised to find Tilda on the roof waiting for him!

The tinsel garland was found on line.
The poinsettias were from Wild Orchid Crafts.

The inside of the card has Tilda Decorating Tree, Christmas Tree, Fireplace with Stockings, and mini Noel.  I glued a piece of the tiny tinsel across the mantel of the fireplace.

The tree is decorated with colored pearls and a gold star brad.  The tinsel was too big for the tree.  I tried!!

The sentiment is from 2012'2 Christmas Story Collection.

This was the view out my kitchen window about mid-morning.  I am SO happy that I didn't have to go out in that mess.
It was very beautiful!  The snowflakes were about the size of quarters and half dollars - huge.

Thank you so much for stopping by and enjoying my Christmas in February card.

I am entering this card in Tilda's Town challenge #41 Christmas .

I am assuming that by now the ladies whose birthdays I had earlier this month have now received their cards.

Here they are -

Tilda with Balloon was colored with Copics and mounted on a So Saffron oval.
The background paper is from Basic Grey's Cupcake Collection.  Golly I have had that paper for years!!  It just seems to get passed over for newer ones :(





The flower is a gardenia from Magnolia.
The ribbon is from my stash.

I know - just another easel card.

The paper is another sheet from the Cupcake Collection.

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.
The sentiment is from Stampin' Up.

Happy birthday, Donna Scott!  Hope you enjoyed your card.




The second card -

This was so fun to make.  Tilda with Puppy is just too cute!  She was colored with Copics.

The picnic basket was from the Vintage Picnic set from Papertrey Ink.

The blue blankie is a scrap of fleece.
The bone paper clip is from my stash.
The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

More Valentine Cards

For the first time in a long time I made Valentines cards.  As usual I got carried away and created several of them.  I an planning to enter one of these cards in the Tilda's Town Challenge #39 - Anything Goes. These are shaped cards using Spellbinders Labels Twenty.  Norma Lee is the mega talented gal who inspires me to try really different things. 

I made some very special ones for my son and his wife and my daughters.

Here is a picture of all four of the cards.  The image and flower colors vary with each card.  All images are colored with Copics. 

Each one has a heart stand up.  The heart was cut using Spellbinders Scalloped Hearts. The sentiment was computer generated. Each one is attached to a toothpick and strip of plastic to help it stand up.

The rosebuds are also attached with a plastic strip.  The stems were too flimsy to stand by themselves.

The green leaves were cut with Doohickeys die Heart Swirl from DCWV Shimmer stack.  It was also glued to a toothpick and plastic strip.

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and Hooked on Craft.

Here are individual pictures of each one.

 Here a couple more scalloped shaped heart easels.

This is the design I made for my girlfriends at church who work with me on the Christmas Card Stamp Camp presentations.

This one uses the older Baking Tilda image.  The banner is a Magnolia.  The sentiment is from an old Hanna Stamps set.  The ribbon is from my stash.  The flowers are Wild Orchid Crafts.  The stand up sentiment is the same as the other cards.

I am going to enter one of the cards in the Tilda's Town Challenge # 39 Anything Goes.

I am so glad you stopped by to visit for a few minutes.  Hope to see you again soon!

Huggeroonies,

Be Mine TT #38 Challenge

This will be a very short post as I need to leave in a few minutes for my hair appointment. Just can't miss that!!! Just finished my card for this week's challenge over at Tilda's Town Challenge.
This is my first shaped card.  I have seen so many beautiful, drop dead gorgeous cards that Norma has made, so I decided to try one.  Check out her fabulous blog to see just how beautiful all of her work is.

I used Spellbinders Hearts dies to cut the shapes.  The papers are SU's Real Red and a heart design from a Magnolia paper pack.  Sorry I don't remember which one :-(

The Tilda with Cozy Heart is colored with Copics.  The chandelier hearts are from my stash.

Here is the open view.  The sentiments are from Magnolia.  The tiny roses from Wild Orchid Crafts.

All in all I think this is a really cute card and OK for my first attempt doing a shaped card.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!
