Dancing Tilda Birthday Book

I hope everyone is having a good weekend. What a gorgeous weekend we are having bright sunshine and high 70's.

I bought this flower shape book at Michaels last week and decided to make a keepsake birthday book for my son's girlfriend. The photos are from some of her bucket list for summer 2011. Of course Dancing Tilda is the star on the cover. I colored her with Copics, the paper is from the memory box collection "Minuet" and the embellishments are from 7 Gypsies. I have had the ribbon for some time and could never figure out how or what to use it on; it seemed so appropriate for the flower petals on the front cover. Let me know what you think.

Enjoy your weekend and thanks for stopping by!

Halloween Printers Tray

Happy Wednesday! It has been a while since my last post. I have too many projects going at once.

This weekend I started this printers tray. I used Memory Box Halloween paper, Tim Holtz Halloween Haunts paper and Tim Holtz tissue tape. My good friend cut the fence and cat with her new Vagabond and the spider web was a new die from Memory Box that my other friend just bought.I added some ghoulish embellishments. The little bottle is filled with black, yellow and glow in the dark glitter. I painted the fence with crackle paint and sponged it with Tim Holtz new Gathered Twigs Distress Ink. The cat is painted with Slate Glimmer Mist.

Enjoy!

Tilda with big ribbon

Happy Friday! It looks like another rainy weekend. The good part it means lots of crafting.

I made this birthday card for my Mom's birthday which is on Monday. I colored Tilda with Copic markers E000, E00, E11, E25, E31, E50, R20, RV91, RV95, V91, V93 and V95. The luggage was colored with glimmer mist - sand, creme de chocolate, tattered leather, and silver. I used Spica pens for the details on the luggage - silver, lavender and brown.

The butterfly background paper is from Memory Box. Oh and I used my new seedless preserves distress ink to ink up the edges. My Martha Stewart butterfly punch came in handy for the little butterfly which is sitting on the luggage. I used frost glimmer mist on the flowers to create the soft blue color. The intricate fence which is used as the backdrop for the card was created with the ornamental iron Cricut cartridge. To give the card some depth and dimension I used pop dots on Tilda and the luggage.

Thanks for stopping by. Enjoy your weekend!

Thinking of You! - Tilda with her Bunny

This card is for a co-worker who lost her mom this past week.

I used copic C0, C1, E000, E00, E11, E25,E31, E50, G94, G99, R20, R81, R83, R85, T1, T3 to color Tilda with her Bunny. To create the layered look I used my spellbinders. I gave Tilda some earrings.

To complete the card I added pink and salmon flowers. I added "Thinking of You" to a simple stamp and attached it with green embroidery floss.

Thank You -Time in Paradise

Here is a thank you card I made using the Magnolia Starfish Stamp. I used distress ink frayed burlap and broken china for the background. Then I added perfect pearls to give the background a sparkly sheen. I stamped the starfish with walnut stain as well as the sentiment. I used tattered leather glimmer mist to achieve the brown glitzy ribbon.

I love the ocean and am so blessed that my son now lives right across the street from a beautiful beach. We spent Labor Day weekend there so I thought this would be an appropriate card to send them as a special thank you for an awesome weekend in paradise!

I hope you are enjoying your weekend.

August Button Farm Kit

I haven't blogged in a couple of weeks. I was visiting my son and his wife in paradise. We had an awesome time! Then I did not have internet for about a week. But I'm back.

I finished this awesome kit yesterday. I modified it a little. I inked all the edges with black soot distress ink. On the front cover instead of buttons and ribbon I used to keys and the chain so they would hang nicely on the front.

Now the album can be given to a male or female.

Have a good evening! Thanks for stopping by.
