Winter Wonderland - Christmas Candies!

Hi there!

I have my Winter Wonderland DT card to show you today!  This week we have the theme of 'Christmas Candies' - you can either choose to use an image using Christmas candies or be inspired by the colours of them instead.  The DT have fabulous inspiration so be sure to pop on over and we'd love to see you join in with us this week.  There is also a wonderful prize of 2 Digi stamps from 'I Dit It Creations'!

For my card I've used the ever so cute Henry Mouse stamps again - this image just makes me smile every time I see it!!  Obviously, I chose candy canes and was lucky enough to find this fabulous dp in my stash of christmas papers!  Henry and his sweetie are coloured with copic markers.  The sketch is this weeks challenge over at Truly Scrumptious so I will enter my card in there.  Also, Quixotic Challenges has 'Emboss It' as their challenge this week so I will submit it there too!!

So glad you could come by again today - I will be back with a second posting soon for my PaperWorksCo blog hop!  I certainly hope you can visit again and thank you for all your beautiful comments.

Hugs,

A Spring Tilda!

Good Morning all!

Thanks for all your well wishes - I'm feeling much better and got a chance to craft yesterday after all!

I have this new sweet Spring Tilda to show you today.  I received this beautiful image from my sweet friend, Linda, thanks so much!!  She is coloured with my copics and trimmed out.  I made Tilda a red-head for the first time - do you like her with auburn hair?  I'm quite pleased with it!  The paper is from the gorgeous new BG Green At Heart pad and I followed the sketch over at Friday Sketchers this week.  The cherry blossom flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and edged with lots of lovely sparkly Stickles!  I punched out branches using the MS punch and machine stitched around the edges of the card and panels.  The ribbon is from stash and I added a sweet butterfly embellishment that I picked up in the Dollar Store - adds more of a 'spring' touch to the card don't you think?!  I used Flower Soft for the flowers in Tilda's basket.

I spritzed the card with Tattered Angels Pearl mist so apologies for how the camera has picked it up in the photo!  All the panels are distressed with my Tim Hotlz distressing tool.

I've managed to get this card into quite a few challenges:

Friday Sketchers - Sketch by Beatrix

Quixotic Challenges - Joys of Spring

Thanks so much for stopping by today - I hope you all have a wonderful start to the week!  I appreciate all the comments you leave - they bring a ray of sunshine to my day!

Tilda with Kitty - A card for 2 challenges!

Hello all!

I hope you're all enjoying glorious sunshine like we are today! I inked up this sweet Tilda with cat for the first time and coloured with my copics. She's a real sweetie and I love it more than I thought I would!!

I pulled out these papers which have been sitting unused for way too long. It's not my normal colour scheme but I like it. I've used the sketch over at Truly Scrumptious this week. With the paper full of flowers & leaves and adhering my own flower/leaf embellishment I will also enter this card into the Quixotic Challenge this week which is 'Leave it Out' - to use leaves on your card. Instead of adding a sentiment I decided to link up this charm instead which says 'love'. The ribbon is SU! chocolate chip taffeta (so lush)!! Pearls are from my stash. I also used the MS Topiary border punch for the two panels behind Tilda.

I'm not sure if I'll get back into my craft room today. I have my #2 son, Joel, home sick with a tummy bug. He started throwing up at 2.15am this morning and completely missed the bowl beside him, LOL! So, lots of laundry needs to get done as well as nursing and pampering my sick buddy. Yesterday it was my eldest son - they seem to be taking turns. Let's hope it stops at this one!

Thanks for stopping by and leaving your comments - they're very much appreciated! Enjoy the rest of your day whatever you're doing and be sure to stay safe!

Hugs,
