Loves Me Tilda at Friday Sketchers 63

A very Happy Friday everyone!! I hope this finds you at the end of a wonderful week and the beginning of a splendid weekend! It is so difficult to believe that this month has passed so quickly...I hope that is because we are all having so much fun!!!

Today marks another week at Friday Sketchers, Week 63, where we have a challenging and fun sketch by the wonderfully talented and lovely Jeanette from Canada.

I hope you will visit us over at Friday Sketchers and have a look at the DT Sample Cards using Jeanette's sketch and visit the blogs of these talented ladies. Please use this sketch and make your own card and share with us this week. All you have to do is provide your blog posting in a comment and link back to Friday Sketchers in your post. There is always a very nice prize each week for some lucky contributor.


I used Bazzill CS for the base, PTI Lemon Tart and SU Brocade Blue CS for the matting and all of the DP is digital. Loves me Tilda is on her way to Magnolia-licious and is from the Lazy Summer Days Collection 2009. I stamped Tilda twice on Cryogen White, colored her with Copics, and cut her out. I stitched the first 2 panels and added a triple nestie after airbrushing the white one with Copics. Tilda was then propped up on dimensional tape and I added tiny yellow button brads to all corners. Finally I made a triple daisy treatment on the bottom right using leaf ribbon for the stems and on the top left added a BowEasy bow of yellow banded organza ribbon and a daisy charm.



For the inside I used the same digital paper...on the first panel I simply added bands of yellow and blue banded organza ribbon and BowEasy bows again to match. For the jotting panel I made a triple daisy flower stem to repeat from the front of the card!

Thank you so much for dropping by...we love it when you visit and let us know what you think!! I hope you all will have a wonderful weekend and please come back often!! Your visits and comments make our day for sure!!! Big hugs for Everyone!!

Tilda with Candy Cane for Christmas in July

Happy Monday and Welcome to Magnolia-licious Christmas in July Challenge!! I hope you have had a marvelous weekend and are ready to start a fantastic week and will join us in this fun challenge over on Magnolia-licious Highlites.

For my card I used Bazzill CS for the base, Prismatics Herbal Garden Light and SU Real Red CS for the matting, and Daisy D's Snowflakes and Holly DP. I stitched the first layer on the front, then made a square of Cryogen white, edging it with MS Corner Loop and Wing Edger Loop punches, and propping it up on dimensional tape. I then added a square of coordinating DP. I stamped Tilda with Candy Cane from the Christmas Collection 2008 twice and colored her with Copics and a touch of Spica on the bow and Diamond Stickles on the wings. This little girl (along with many from the Christmas and holiday collections) is now available over at Magnolia-licious. I also propped Tilda up. I added 3 layer poinsettias and holly by Prima and made the centers from MM Vintage Findings pearl flowers. I also added a polymer clay candy cane which I colored with Copics to match the one Tilda is holding. Finally I added larger pearls to the remaining 2 corners.

I used the same DPs on the inside of the card. On the first panel I used a simple olive organza ribbon and a mini Tilda with Candy Cane colored with copics. And on the jotting panel I used another punched square for the message and trimmed it with another triple poinsettia. Finally all corners were softened with small pearls.

Thank you so much for your visit. We always love to see you drop by and hope that you will leave us your thoughts. Remember it is not too early to start thinking about your Christmas cards and how cute those Maggies can be for the holidays! You may also want to drop over and see what Diana has in stock and start thinking about which Maggies you may want for the winter holidays. Have a wonderful week and come back soon!! Hugs...

Strawberry Tilda At Friday Sketchers 62

A very happy Friday everyone! I hope you have all had a magnificent week! I also wanted to send my sincere thanks for all of your well wishes for my family situation and also for the numerous kindnesses, cards, and emails I received for my birthday this week!!

This week I am hosting Friday Sketchers for Week 62 and I do hope that all of you will visit us this week and make a card using my sketch below and will submit the card for a wonderful prize from SHIMMERZ.

When you submit a comment with a link to your card on your blog, please remember to also link Friday Sketchers in your post in order to be eligible for the weekly prize.



For my card this week, I used Bazzill CS for the base and PTI Poppy Red and Leaf Green CS for the matting. All of the DP are digital papers. I also used Strawberry Tilda from the Lazy Summer Days Collection 2009 which is available at Magnolia-licious. She was stamped on Cryogen White and was colored with Copics and a tiny touch of Spica on the watering can. I used some leaves and white flowers to make a strawberry blossom bouquet and of course I attached and dangled 3 enamel strawberry charms from the bouquet. My ribbon treatment is red organza made with Bow-Easy. I also added red photo corners to the image panel and finished the front with tiny red brads.

I apologize for not having the inside of the card completed but will edit this post during the week and will show you what it looks like if you wish to come back later.

I hope you like this little girl and will come back and see us often. Thank you so much for visiting and hope you will leave us a note letting us know what you think of this card. Have a wonderful weekend and I will be back in the swing of things soon...Hugs to all!!
