Totally Tilda Christmas decor.....

The new challenge over at Totally Tilda is to make a Christmas decoration. Susie has some yummy prizes up for grabs on this one. Head over to the challenge blog for the details and to see the rest of the teamies gorgeous projects.

I myself made an ornament. I used my SU Bigz large snowflake to make the snowflake out of cardboard. I painted it silver, and attached all the goodies.

 I made a wire hanger and attached the ribbon to that. The flower is Prima, the greenery is my MS punch. 

I used liquid applique on the fur on her coat and I added glitter to it while it was wet, then heated it dry with a heat gun. She is colored with Copics.

Be sure to head on over to Totally Tilda to see the prizes up for grabs and the rest of the DT's work, they are such a talented bunch of ladies!

I'm so distressed...

I'm kidding, he he. What is actually distressed is the challenge over a Totally Tilda. That is right, we want to see some distressing on your entry. For more deets on prizes, head over to Totally Tilda and check it out. While you are there check out the rest of the DT's card... they are all fabulous!

Let's see... papers are K&Company, lace is Really Reasonable Ribbons, butterflies are the MS mini butterfly punch, flowers are an assortment of WO and one with the lace in it was a gift from my lovely friend Terry. I colored Tilda's pants with my prisma pencils and the rest with copics.

I am entering this over at Just Magnolia where the challenge is anything goes.

Think that about sums it up.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday weekend!

Totally Tilda and...

anything but a card! 

OMG, I just noticed that my scheduled post didn't work sorry!

That's right, over at Totally Tilda Challenges we want you to do anything but a card. I had originally had some big dreams, ha ha. They became a book mark. Ah well, another challenge right!

This was really quite fun for a change. Limiting with such a small space and I didn't want it to be too thick as it was to go inside a book. Tilda is colored with copics and the butterfly and leaf  punch is MS. The flowers are made by me except the big one with glitter, that was Prima. Oh and I have an around the corner punch that I used on the edge which was MS on sale 2x's cause it was on sale at Micheals and Oprah had a coupon for 20% off including sale prices...wellllll tahnks Oprah and Trisha for telling me about the coupon. Boy was the teller dumbfounded at that one. They never let you use a coupon on sale items and she tried to tell me BUT I was on the ball that day. HA HA! 

I also want to mention that the lovely book that Tilda is perched on is by Kelly Rae Roberts, lovely dear artist who is full of artsy inspiration.  I just love her paintings. Go and check out HER SITE.

I am entering this over at cupcake inspirations where the cupcakes are colored red, green and cream.

Make sure you head over to Totally Tilda and get your NON CARD entry in!

Totally Tilda 'n' Tags....

It is that time again and a new challenge is up over at Totally Tilda. This round Susie and us girls are looking for TAGS.

Here are mine:

I really must be on a new paper roll, once again, no K&Company! HA! The background paper is some DP I got at a scrapping weekend, I added some white swirls with some white ink and SU stamps, and faux stitching with a gel pen. The foreground paper is by DCWV and it is one of the glitter stacks, really gorgeous paper, embosses and glittery and retro patterns galore!

 

I used copics to color my Tildas and the flowers are from prima and wild orchid. My ribbons are from really reasonable ribbons and went perfect with the retro papers.

Hope you liked my tags, I am going to enter them at the following challenges:

Cupcake crafts  In a garden (I have lots of flowers and girls with flowers and a gardening hat)

 Paper Sundaes- Pop it up (my Tildas are popped up and my flowers are so layered they pop right off too!)

That's it for me folks! Head over to Totally Tilda and get some tags entered for Susie's fabby prizes!

XO Pickles!

TIlda and her cat or dog...

New challenge is up over at Totally Tilda and our lovely Miss Sugar would like you to make a card with Tilda and her DOG OR CAT. For info on the prizes this round head on over there to get the deets.

And here is my card!

Papers are... omg... no WAY, Basic Grey! I actually cheated on my K & Company! Ribbon is SU, flowers are Wild Orchid. The butterfly.. I know you are thinking "wow! where did she get that butterfly thingy, what is it!" I was at the dollarama and they had these beautiful multicolored foam"ish" coasters in four packs, so I bought a bunch. I figured my croonies would like some so I bought extra, they don't know yet.

And a close up. I am giving this to my mom for mother's day today. 

Hope all the mother's out there have a wonderful and relaxing MOTHER'S DAY!

I am entering over at Just Magnolia where the challenge is anything goes this round.

XO Pickles!

Totally Tilda is Paper Piecing!

Over at Totally Tilda challenges this round we are asking you to do some paper piecing. It is so much fun I am not sure why I don't do it more often!

Did you catch that? Did ya? Yes......it is.......exactly what you think it is! Stop rubbing your eyes you are seeing correctly although, you may start rubbing them again if you get too close! What is the fuss about you ask? My daughter thought I was totally nuts when I told her I was going to put my kitchen scraps on my card and there it is! I was clearing off the cupboard the next morning after supper (too lazy to do the dishes after supper and low and behold there was the top off my onion, all curled up and I thought "How pretty is that! I looks like a flower!" My daughter was mortified, she said straight away "What are they gonna think when you give it to them and it stinks like onion!" "Well darlin, that is what body spray is for!" I told her. Couple of spritz's and it smells like....a rose!

And a close up of my lovely recycled onion!

Look how the onion skin matches the butterfly, that was so planned, not!

And, oh oh I finally got to use my new magnolia dragonfly dohickey that I got fer me birthday from me bestest friend ever Cor! Sorry Corry, it worked like a charm so I think yours is defective. Better send it back. Thanks baby for mine, which you can of course borrow anytime till you get yer new one!

Gonna enter this one over at Magnolia-licious challenges where the theme is Pink and Green. Oh, I am also gonna sneek this in over at Magnolia Stamp Lovers where the theme is flowers! Maybe my onion flower will catch their eye!

You make sure you head over to Totally Tilda and get your paper pieced creation in there!

XO Pickles!

I'm baaaaaack!

I know, you were thinking... OMG, did she die. That is what I think when bloggers drop off the face of the blogiverse. No, I was just busy. I am back though with a new challenge over at Totally Tilda. 

Tilda around the world!

I just love this Asian Tilda. 

 Do I need to say it...papers are K&Company, flowers are Wild Orchid, ribbon is CTMH.

I colored her with Copics and I used chalk for her cheeks. Big cheater huh!

Head on over to Totally Tilda and get your entries in cause Susie always has great prizes and she is cute too.

I am going to enter this card over at Paper Sundaes where the challenge is childhood memories. This card is my childhood memory of our old neighbor. She used to go every year to China and she would always bring us home candy which was totally cool. I always wanted an umbrella from China and lo and behold one time she brought one home for me. I totally wrecked it, idiot, but it was cool.

mwah!
