Annie Peeks In On Tilda's House!!!

Happy Sunday Evening...I hope that everyone has had a wonderful weekend and are ready for a splendid week!!

My card tonight is made for Midnight Madness Challenge Sketch and I am sure mine is a bit "different"...lolol...The card is completely inspired by my wonderful friend Ann (Madgesty) from the UK who introduced me to Little Annie and also introduced me to Priscilla from Midnight Madness!!! So thank you very much, Ann!! You are truly an inspiration to me!!! Feel better real soon!!!

I used Bazzill CS for the base, PTI Lemon Tart CS for the matting and the DP is from Marianne Design from the Netherlands. Little Annie and the window are both Fronts-N-Backs from Art Impressions so in order to use these stamps I had to actually cut a hole in the front of the card to fit the window....this may sound like a very easy thing to do BUT we are talking through 10 layers of papers and the whole thing had to line up with both the inside and outside window frames--Annie and the window are actually 4 separate stamps...so I am not going to admit how many times I had to cut and fit...lolol...Also the individual panes of the double window had to be cut out...You can also ask me if I am blind now!!!! Anyway...all of the coloring is Copics and I hope you can see by the picture below that everything is VERY dimensional. For the topiaries I used the 3 smallest round nesties and covered them with my own mix of FlowerSoft and put them in FlowerSoft pots that I curved by wrapping them around a pencil...the stem is actually leather shoe strings---I told you this was a DIFFERENT card...hahahha

On the inside of the card, you can see little Annie checking to see what is going on at Tilda's house...and how do we know it is Tilda's house???...Rufus, Tilda's Cat, Rocking Chair, and portraits of Loves Me Tilda, Tilda with Single Flower and Tilda with Birdcage...ALL of these stamps are now available at Magnolia-licious. If you don't believe these are really Tildas, you can click on the picture and then you can see they are actually Tildas that I had made into cards earlier...lolol...I framed them in little bitty Melissa Frances vintage frames.



I finished the card...whewwwwwwww...with some yellow pearls and a few yellow satin bows!! Finally I added a computer generated expression for the jotting spot...

Thank you so much for dropping by to see what's happening in my little world...I hope you like this little card and will let me know what you think!!! Have a delightful week...Hugs!!!

Halloween/Fall Blog Hop at Magnolia-licious and a Little Bit of Sweet Stuff

A very Happy Friday everyone!! And WELCOME to the Tricks and Treats Halloween/Fall Blog Hop at Magnolia-licious!! Each of the DT members has made a card using a Fall/Halloween Maggie and a treat holder using the Scor-Pal. A number of projects can be found at the Scor-Pal projects list site and on SCS. I certainly hope that you will join with us and create a card and a treat holder to be eligible for a $10 GC to Diana's store!!! What fun!! Today's Hop begins with the very talented Cheryl Rowley so if you have not started at the beginning, please go visit Cheryl for your roadmap! After you have visited each of the DT blogs then please continue on to the Magnolia-licious Highlites blog where you will find all instructions for participating!



I used TEN MAGGIES!!!!! Diana, that must be almost the full Halloween inventory...lolol...They are: Tilda with Spider, Tilda with Spider Web, Spider Web, Halloween Edwin, Log, Tilda with Pumpkin, Halloween Pumpkins, and Halloween Candy Bag, all from the Halloween and Autumn Collection 2008; Tilda's Cat from the Summer Collection 2007; and Iron Fence from the Fall Collection 2007. As you can see by the links, most of these stamps are available or will be available soon at Magnolia-licious. Because these stamps are going so quickly and since Halloween is right upon us, I urge you to jump over to Diana's shop and get them FAST, FAST, FAST!!!

As you can tell, this is a tri-shutter card and it's the first time that I have ever attempted one of these...and it may be the last...lol...I changed the size from the instructions given on SCS and made it 6" tall...I also didn't like it with a plain back so I also decorated the back so that it would be of interest with either side showing. I really don't know where to begin except that I started with Bazzill CS for the base and all of the DP is from the Frightful Collection of Little Yellow Bicycle. I stamped and colored all of the Maggies with Copics and a touch of Spica and cut them all out. I embossed the large spider web on the back and the web on the front Tilda's hat. The web behind Edwin is actually a wide organza ribbon embossed with velvet spider web and spiders. I added a few little puffy bats from Diana, flowers from Crafty Feeling, miscellaneous charms (pumpkin, spooky eyes, ghost, witch's hat), some spider buttons, and some twigs made with a MS punch. The sentiment on the back is a Cotton Scrap. Oh and a few ribbons and gem brads and dew drops...And whewwww, I believe that's about it...lolol

And now for my matching Treat Holders which uses the Scor-Pal and Scor-Tape:


As you can see, I used the same papers as my card. The larger box is the Ferro Rocher Chocolate Box and is filled with 6 pieces of Ferrero Rondnoir. The bag-like thing is the Batty Boo Basket and is filled with M&Ms. The 2 little boxes are Tall Treat Boxes and are filled with Jelly Bellies.

I hope you have enjoyed visiting me during the Magnolia-licious Tricks and Treats Blog Hop and will come back and visit me again real soon!!! I love reading your comments and I appreciate each and every one of you sooooooo much!!...HUGS!!!
