Totally Tilda with hearts!

That's right you heard it here! The challenge this week over at Totally Tilda is to use hearts on your project. And we don't want one dinky little heart on the bottom corner hiding under your ribbon... we want to see lotsa hearts on there gang! Here is mine:
There is an embossed heart and two stitched hearts and of course I used my MS scalloped heart border punch! Oh yeah, Jemima Tilda is holding a heart too! Yes, that is what Trisha called her and I guess she does look like Aunt Jemima! Perfect in pink...I think!
The flowers are Wild Orchid, the leaves are my MS leaf punch. Tilda is colored with Copics and the papers are he he he he he.... K&Company!

The tag here is the one I made with my Cold Porcelain clay recipe. You can find the complete instructions on how to make your own at the Prairie Fairy Blog.

So head on over to Totally Tilda and get your entry in for the Tilda with Hearts challenge now!

I am entering my card over at Magnolia Down Under as the theme is wet or dry embossing.

Totally Tilda Ribbons and Roses...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Can you believe another year just flew by! I think I am still in shock!

The first challenge of the year over a TOTALLY TILDA is...
RIBBONS AND ROSES.
The girls have really outdone themselves too so you really have to go and check out all their blogs!

Here is mine!
I am not sure why but I had a heck of a time to photograph this card. I used my fancy stitches on my pfaff! Lucky thing I have cards to sew... ROFL! The papers are from...you don't say...K&Company. I tell you they need to start giving me shares in the company!
I was so impressed with meself, ar be dar! I used a scalpel to cut around the rose image on the DP so I could tuck the paper piece with the ribbon on it underneath. Aren't I just a smart pickle!

The butterfly is a punch by MS, flowers are wild orchids. Tilda is colored with my prisma pencils and I glossed her hair up with liquid glass which is glorified crazy glue I think! hahahahhaha! The sentiment I made in photoshop. I couldn't pick between my close up shots so... what the heck, here are both!


Well, I hope you like it and I sure hope you head over to Totally Tilda and get an entry in for the Ribbons and Roses challenge! I am entering this over at  Just Magnolia where the challenge is anything goes!

Totally Tilda Easel card

Time for a brand new challenge over at Totally Tilda! Wahooooo! This time around Susie wants ya to make an easel card. I have to admit mine is not my best work. I have been sick lately and I am not at peek performance.

Papers are K&Company, flowers are Wild Orchid. I found some large rectangular shaped paper doilies at a dollar store which I cut off a section from for the background area. I colored my Tilda with copics and gave her a once over with the ole spicas for a lovely glittery shine!
I used my MS branch punch, or whatever it is called! ROFL!
sentiments are Stampin up. I don't know why but I sure have a hard time taking pictures of easel cards. Oh well. Not sure what the prizes are for this round but I am sure they are good knowing Susie so you better pop over there and check it out.

I am entering my card over at Magnolia Down under where the challenge is a gift for you. I interpreted it by wrapping my ribbon on my card like I would wrap it on a gift. Over at Paper Sundaes the challenge is Cut it Out and I cut out my image. At Cupcake inspirations the picture is a Santa Cake in Reds, greens, whites and skin tones.

That's it for me folks!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!

Totally Tilda and lots more love...

We are half way through the fortnightly challenge over a Totally Tilda, where the challenge this round is "For the one you love". That's right our dear Susie wants you to make a card for the one you love. 

It is my turn to make a midway reminder card and here is my creatoin:
Once again, as we are being sponsored by the lovely Lynne over at Sentiments for You, I have used a sentiment made by Lynne herself! I had it in my head to use this Tilda from the Christmas collection but I not for a Christmas card. When i saw this one the first thing I though was "I love you this much!" So I asked Lynne to make me one and sure 'nuf she did. Gee thanks Lynne!

I actually covered the holly that she had in her hair with ribbons. Slick huh?

Make sure you head over to Totally Tilda! You still have a whole week to get your entry in there!

Totally Tilda Glitz 'n' Gold

Wow that two weeks just flew by! And in that two weeks we got instant winter, overnight. Went to bed one night, no snow, get up 6" of snow and by the end of the storm it has to be close to a foot and minus 20! I was out fishing with my dad less than a week ago! Well enough of that, I have a card for you, honest I do!
I just love these angel Tildas. I am all about fairytales! he he! That lovely chocolaty ribbon was a scoop from my bud Trisha, thanks Trish! I just love the wire in the ribbon, really added something all crinkled up like that. The gold velvet ribbon is from Really Reasonable Ribbons. The flowers are my fave, Wild Orchid. 
I created the ornate border with my new MS border punch, love it! 
And a close up for ya. I colored Tilda with my Prismas and stumps and baby oil on the body and I always use my copics for the skin, always! 

Susie has got some yummy prizes for you over at Totally Tilda challenges. We are being sponsored this week by Bunny Zoe and the prize is a good one so you gotta get a card in there so go and check it out!
