It’s a Boy

Well I am getting better here !! 2 days now !! I am starting to get around much better now so I just couldn’t help but get some play time in.

Today I am showing you a card I made for a dear friend who is expecting there first child. I needed a card to go with there gift so I have used this adorable little boy image from Sugar Nellie.

The image has been colored with my copic’s.  And I have used some gorgeous paper from Maja Design that was from the Crea Shop.  A very sweet dear friend sent me this paper and I so love it. I wish we could get this here in the US. This paper is just gorgeous !!!

I used some tile letters and the sentiment is from Lily Of The Valley. The clock die is from Tim Holtz. And the bottle charm and raffia ribbon is from my stash.

I hope to get some more play time while I am off I go back to the Dr next week so hopefully I will return to work after the first of the year.

Thanks so much for stopping bye and visiting me so greatly appreciated. Sending Big Hugs (((((((((((())))))))))))))))

A little project

Hello dear friends !!! Been a while since I have been able to post.

I had to have some surgery the 17th and it has had me quite down this time. But managed to finish a project yesterday that I have had started for awhile. So thought I would share it with you.

I altered a wooden tissue box with some of my Hanglar images. They have all been colored with my copic’s and spica glitter pens. All papers are from K&Co

This side has a Memory Box die and a butterfly die from Cheery Lynn Designs. And a metal corner piece from Wild Orchid Crafts.

This side has some more Cheery Lynn Design and Marianne dies

Here I have used a Memory Box die and a Magnolia leaf.

And another Memory Box die 

Here is the top of the box. All flowers have been coated with Glamour Dust glitter paint , and I have used lots of the Zva Creative Pearls . You can get both these products at Susana’s Custom Art and Cards.

Special Tilda

Hello dear friends !!!

I hope everyone here in the US had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I know I cooked and ate to much lol But that is part of the holidays isn’t it ???

I got such a wonderful surprise in the mail this week. An early Christmas present from one of my dearest friends !!! Oh so many wonderful things but I have used a couple of them here on my card today. She got me some luscious papers of Maja Design. Oh how I wish we had these here in the states. I about cried when I cut into them. Then she got me this special Tilda isn’t she just gorgeous ??? Both of my items came from Crea Shop Duymelot in Holland.

Magnolia are donating 500 euros to the Swedish Cancer Fund, and for every one of these stamps sold 2 euros is donated to the Pink Ribbon Cancer Fund and so a very good way to raise funds and awareness. This charity is also very close to Astrid's heart (the owner of the Dutch shop) as she has recently been diagnosed with breast cancer. So if you would like to get this adorable Tilda the place to get it is at Crea Shop Duymelot . And please keep Astrid in your prayers.

I have colored Tilda with my copic’s  and have added some Glamour Dust Glitter paint to the hearts.

Flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts

Square doily from Cheery Lynn Designs 

Leaf and fence from Magnolia

Heart is from MS
