Lollipop Tilda

It has been forever since I posted something. I was working on some calendars - I may show those later - and then my dd and her fiance were here. So tonight I made myself sit down and make a card.

Isn't Tilda just the cutest thing leaning on her bike. She is colored with copics. The lollipop and bike have some diamond glaze added. The flowers have little washers and pearly blue brads through them. Then there are some washers running down and across. I love the buckle at the bottom and I am almost out of them. 

Here is another view.

The washer colors are a little truer in this picture.

Hope you enjoyed the card.

Gerbera Daisy Box

This is the red and black box with a gerbera daisy that I made for the youngest dd. 

The daisies are colored with copics and have some stickles for highlights. The papers are from bo bunny and basic grey. The gerbera daisy is from the angel company. The outside is covered with a high gloss varnish on it to seal it. There nail head stickers and pearls and tiny red rhinestones. Here's a close-up.

And the inside.

I have an ideas for a couple more so be on the look out.

Tiger box

I wanted to get this box done for Christmas but ran out of time. I will have to give it to my son-in-law next time I see him. I also want to get some done for my daughters. 

The tiger is from the angel company. I just love him. He is so regal looking. The dp is from basic grey.

Here is the inside.

It is to put two decks of cards in. I already gave my son-in-law the cards but didn't tell him about the box that was coming - just in case it took me a while to get to it. The box itself is a wooden cigar box.I did another box for Stamper's Quest and it has more detailed instructions here.

Off to work on the next box. See you soon.

Drummer Boy

I like the song "Little Drummer Boy" and this card goes right along with it.

This is a digi stamp from http://www.mosdigitalpencil.com/ . He is all colored with copics. I tried to tone down some of the colors by coloring over the bright ones with C1. It did help some even though they are still pretty bright. The snow is shaved ice from Stampendous!. The corner punch is from EK Success. Added some baker's twine and a charm. This card is going to a family whose son and husband play the drums at our church.

Reading Fairy

I did this card for a challenge here that is already closed. Oh well. When I first saw it I wasn't going to do it because I don't do funny colored hair until I saw a fairy and knew that would work. So here is my entry that isn't an entry.

This is a digi stamp from Elizabeth O.Dulemba here. She is all colored in copics. The paper is digi from basic grey. Some ribbon and flowers and a few dew drops make this creation complete.

Inspiration Challenge

I finally got my inspiration challenge done - several days late. Here is the picture - 

And here is the card I made.

The set is called apple of my eye from the angel company. And there is good news - the company has been bought so some of these sets may be coming back! Yeah!

She is colored with copics. The apples are popped with foam tape and have diamond glaze on them - which by the way isn't quite dry but couldn't wait any longer to take the picture. Patience isn't always my best virtue. lol The flowers have stickles in the center. The green swirl is from memory box. The dp's are just some scraps I found in my stash and don't know who they all belong to. Hope you enjoy this little sweetie. I think she will go to my dd to encourage her during finals next week. 

Iridescent Nativity

A woman at church who plans the decorations at church says some year she wants to do the church in black and iridescent. I can't quite image it but this card is for her.

This is more silver than iridescent but there is some of that in this card. It is the same card as here just a variation on the colors. This one has stickles all around the edges and in the swirls. Here is another view.

The stamp is from Stampendous!

Book Challenge

I belong to an on-line book club, Book Endz here. This month our book was Emily and Einstein. What a great book.  It might be my favorite of the books that we read so far. We are supposed to do a project to go along with the book so this is what I came up with.

The dog is from Magnolia. He has a butterfly that goes with him but I left the butterfly off because it didn't really seem to go with the book at all. He, because it is a man/dog, is colored with copics. The words and the circle are from the angel company. The dp is from basic grey. The ribbon is tied with iridescent twine. I love the paw print twill tape at the bottom. I have it in cooking motif and ruler measurements as well.  I used my nestabilities to cut out the  scalloped ovals. Hope you enjoy the card. I know you would enjoy the book, Emily and Einstein by Linda Francis Lee.

Inspiration Challenge

Let's see first thing the inspiration.

I love golds so this just seemed to speak to me. Can you imagine what it must have been like for Mary to be pregnant and riding all the way to Bethlehem on a donkey's back. I can think of  a lot of other things I would rather do. But God was gracious and brought them there safely.  

Now for my card.

Really a pretty simple card. Stamped - I did color the image a bit with pencil where the ink didn't cover real well. I outlined it the figures with YR21 and YR20 then added some crystal stickles to the star. The gold fiber is from see spot save at Target many years ago and the black fiber is even older. Something I got while in college. I was taking a fibers class and we went to a carpet manufacture and bought ends to use in our class. That's about it.
Next week I will see if I can figure out how to do Mr. Linky so you can add your creations.

Magnolia-licious Christmas Blog Hop All Year Long November

It is late on Thanksgiving and I almost forgot to post my card. I am getting tired. Long day of cooking something I don't do too much of any more.  Any way if you are here from Norma's fabulous blog here you are on the right track. 

This is done with a mini Tilda from Magnolia-lious here. Diana is having a fabulous sale on these little cuties right now so run do not walk and get your very own. This Tilda is called Tilda with Winter flowers. Isn't she just the sweetest. She is colored with copics. The dps are from basic grey. The snowflakes are punched and then run through the xyron 150 and sprinkled with glitter. Each snowflake as a rhinestone in the middle. The holly is a die cut from memory box and have rhinestones around them. Here is the inside.

Once again the dp is from basic grey with one more glittered snowflake. Hope you enjoyed. Your next stop is Robyn's blog here.http://robinroom.blogspot.com If you want to start at the beginning go here http://magnolia-liciouschristmasallyearlong.blogspot.com/

Hope your Thanksgiving was blessed and that the coming Christmas season is filled with joy and the love of Christ - the reason for the season.
