Sweet Thing

Sorry for the somewhat crummy picture but I was in a hurry to get this in the mail.  I made this shadow box for my niece who recently turned 3.  Usually you give toys but I wanted something she could just enjoy looking at for awhile so I glittered the heck out of everything on it.  She picked up on the fact that the little girl is her.  Cute!

The paper was from a Gina K freebie and the stamp is Sweet 60's I think? I can't check the Magnolia store as it's down right now but if you really want to know, send me a comment and I will hunt it down for you!  The slice of cake and heart also came from Magnolia.  I used my Quickutz lettering on giltter paper and lots of Prima Flowers.

March Magnolia-licious DT Sketch

I loved Jacque's sketch for this month over at Magnolia-licious Highlites and here is my interpretation.  I distressed lots of edges and then added gold Stickles. 

I think this Tilda is so sweet and I have missed doing a Magnolia card for too long.  I used some Shimmerz Gold on the mound of dirt she's standing on and you can see the rest of the details below including the Copics I've used.

I also used a lot of pieces from the blog candy Jacque so kindly sent me a few weeks back.  The beautiful gardenia and the red heart glass garland were included in on that candy.  Love it thank you!

Sketch Saturday Week #92

For this week's Sketch Saturday challenge I chose to use this cute Motivet stamp called Hedgehog with balloons for a birthday card.  Sorry for the slightly blurry picture but I was in a hurry to finish.  I usually have a very hard time with bright colors but with the balloons being so vibrant I wanted to try and carry on with that.   I have to admit the sketch was challenging for me so I was glad to be with Simone to brainstorm on that one.  Thanks buddie!  You can see her card for this challenge over HERE.  Personally, I think she ROCKED it!

Motivet Challenge Week 8

So I have been visiting my sister in Fort McMurray, AB for the last week and no trip would be complete without cardmaking!!!  So we both have made 1 so far and have colored lots more.   I brought all my Copics with me and so hard to not whip them out on the plane and start coloring.  Alas, flights were too short but that's fine!!  So here's my card for the Motivet Challenge Week 8.

Not using my normal editing program has made it a smidge challenging but I found a good online program that seems to have done the job!  Isn't Hilda just so cute?!!!
