Winter Edwin with Christmas Lantern

Hello Maggie Lovers,

It is a going to be a gorgeous week here in NH. Sunny, blue sky, beautiful foliage, and perfect temperatures. My nephew now has a name it is Connor, Scott. I went to see him again yesterday and he is just so cuddly.

Today I am featuring a mitten card with Winter Edwin with Christmas Lantern. I cover my two mitten piece with Maja Design- It's Christmas Time. I also paper pieced Edwin's clothing with the same paper. I colored Edwin's skin with E000, E00, R20 and hair E50, YR51, YR53. For his wings and mittens I used some fine glitter.

I used the So Jolly Sentiment and my flower paper shaper punch (from Stampn' Up). To embellish my card I used my new Cozy Big Snowflake a Magnolia Doo Hickey Die, ribbon, charm and Shabby White Frantage.

Here a a couple of closer views of Edwin:

Happy Saturday,

I have had a busy week. Thursday was my Mom's 75th birthday. They came for lunch at my favorite spot - look at this delicious cake. It was Yummy!

 And yesterday my great nephew was born is so adorable. 8 pds. 9 oz but they can't agree on his name. LOL.

Well now on to my DT card for CMC. The prize for this challenge is one winner will win a Free Copic Class of their choice or a $20 GC to SCACD. Join us for fall colors. Can't wait to see what you create.

 I stamped my image on Cryogen paper with Memento black ink. She is colored with Copic Markers. Skin E000, E00, R01; hair E25, E31, E50; socks, shirt, bandanna Y2, Y38; pants YG95, YG72; shoes  E40, E41, E42. To create the polka dots I use a white sharpie poster paint maker.

On my card I used Pie Tilda and Graphic 45 paper. I chose to use the paper to embellish my card except for one die cut and one Jolee's embellishment. I used Shabby White Frantage. Below is a photo of the back and I used the cat from the Magnolia Doo Hickey die Paris Nights.

Happy Saturday,

Hello Maggie lovers! Are you having a good weekend? My day started out sunny but it looks like the rain is rolling in. Bummer!

As I was poking around the other night I found that Fashionista Challenge is having a DT call. No Noses..... I was so excited so I created this heart project for my submission. I just love this sweet little Tilda. I am hoping when I go to the mailbox today my package from Diana is there......

I stamped my image on Cryogen paper with black Memento ink. I then colored her with Copic markers- skin E00, E000, R20; hair E25, E35, E50; outfit R81, R83, R85; heart R000, R01, R02. I paper pieced her head band and add Shabby Pink Frantage to the heart she is holding.

 Here  are some different views of my project:

 Happy Saturday!

Do you have some exciting plans for the weekend? Well thanks for visiting 7 Kids College Fund Store. You will find lots of inspiration from the DT; their creations are fabulous!

Today I would like to share another tag. I am addicted to the Prima Doll Stamps. I did not use a lot of embellishments for my tag. Instead I used my paper and stencils to give my tag a personality. I used Frantage for the tea cup  arrangement. And those tiny buttons on her blouse are liquid pearls.
For my doll I used paper except I did color her hair with Copic. I definitely need 1 hmmm maybe 2 more of these lovely doll stamps.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Prima Doll Tag

Happy Wednesday!

I hope everyone is having a great week. I really enjoy working with the Prima Doll stamps. I tried something a  little different and didn't color the image. I did color her hair with Copic Markers (E25, E3, E50). I paper pieced her outfit. I used a Prima tag and used several different stencils to embellish the tag. I added bling, ribbon, lace and flowers to complete my tag. Thanks for stopping by and I hope I have inspired you to create a new project.

7 Kids College Fund September Blog Hop

Welcome to the 7 Kids College Fund September Blog Hop! Resin is going to be one of the those products on the 10 most wanted craft supply list. I love it! I created some different hearts. The small one is the center of her flower - I put paper and glitter in this one and tied velvet ribbon then added to my flower. The one resting on the bottom right of the canvas - the bottom of the heart was covered with paper, the edges a hint of pink glitter and a wooden butterfly. I wanted to try different thing in each one. If you click here you can see the other heart which has frantage, mica, charm and white resin embellishment. Absolutely beautiful as jewelry or an embellishment on one of your projects. Love IT! Now for my altered canvas. I went a little out of my comfort zone using a stencil silhouette with Viva Ferro Metal Effect Colour - Golden Green. So without further ado - hop along!
