Friday Sketchers Challenge #144

Today I bring you another new Tilda......hee hee I'm really getting my Maggie's in....and she's from the new "You Are So Special" line called Tilda With a Small Gift. 

I'm entering her into the Friday Sketchers challenge this week.  The sketch is fabulous!! 

I'm kind of on the fence with this one.  Can't decide if I like or hate it.  LOL!!  OH c'mon we all have one!! hee hee 

No details today cuz it's just a quick post and most of my supplies are older stuff and I can't remember what company stuff comes from.  Although my sister sent me the butterflies so THANKS BUDDIE! 

Tissue Box Cover

I've been wanting to make a tissue box cover for awhile now and finally got the chance to  follow this very easy tutorial from Splitcoast Stampers.  I picked up this little Sad Wombat from Tickled Pink Stamps.  Doesn't he make you wanna hug him?

When I finished the box hubby, said "oh he's crying after watching a sad movie that's cute".  Even tho I was just using Tim Holtz's filmstrip I hadn't even thought of that!!  LOL!!  To me it was just a fabulous embellishment!!

It's going into these challenges:

Cute Card Thursday - Signs of Spring.  Butterflies and flowers.....feels springy to me!!

Tickled Pink Stamps Facebook challenge to be a guest in an April blog hop!

Merry Christmas! JUST KIDDING!

Tickled Pink Christmas Challenge #1 - a monthly challenge for christmas cards and this month's challenge is green, red and gold!  I figure if I can make a card a month then I will at least be done maybe a third of my cards I need.  Maybe.  LOL!  This also gives me a reason to use all those papers I bought and might not use this year cuz there's always new stuff out by then.  hee hee

Tickled Pink Stamps Challenge #9 - "Sewing".  Now...I do realize it's not much but my heart in the corner, is hand stitched.  I did want to do more but this seemed to be the only place where it fit.
