Strawberry Tilda

Here is my card for KL Stamping n Scrappin. This Tilda reminds me of the Strawberry Shortcake dolls that were made in the 80's. I was super excited to pair her up with my Basic Grey Nook and Pantry paper. I've been on a kraft card base thing for a bit, but decided to ink the edges with some chocolate chip. I also used Beate's Weekend Sketch #105.

Paper: Basic Grey
Stamps: Magnolia, sentiment is Amuse
Pearls, Copics, Crystal Stickles, Prima Flowers, PTI Buttons, and Nestabilities

A few have asked how many Christmas cards I've made so far and right now I have made 98 cards. I have about 15 more to make. I didn't originally plan on making any for my Etsy, but I may make about 10 more for that, depending on how I feel and how much time I have. Before I mail them all, I will take a picture of all my cards together. :)

Usually when you look at stuff you made a year ago you cringe, but I still love my cards I made last December when I started this journey. My coloring skills have gotten MUCH better, but without another card to compare, my non-crafting relatives will have no idea, lol.

Everyone have a great Monday! It's back to work for me...

Christmas Card Challenge Week #49

Since I'm trying to get all of my cards done, there aren't going to be any more extra challenges. Just make any Holiday, Winter, or Christmas card(s)! Isn't Stella just a bundle of fun? I also used one of Jen dul Muro's Sketch For You To Try. I'll admit that it drives me batty that Jen doesn't number these, lol. Maybe I just need to start using the dates.

Paper: Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses
Stamps: Stamping Bella, sentiment is Amuse
CTMH Brads, Snowflake Punches, Crystal Stickles, PTI Buttons, Copics, and Nestabilities

Willow Holding Baby Card

Yesterday was my friend Shannon's birthday and she finally had her baby a couple weeks ago. This is a baby and birthday card all in one, lol. I've only seen pictures on Facebook, but her baby is just darling! I won't be going home to Portland until Christmas, but I'm very excited to meet Alex (guess Lexi didn't suit her, lol).

Paper: My Minds Eye
Stamps: Whiff of Joy, sentiment is Amuse

Since I don't have kiddos...and Shannon is the first one in my group of college/sorority friends to have one...I need to start investing in baby stamps, lol. Jenn bought this stamp when LaTraya had her baby and gave me some images. Thanks a million! I also used Sweet Sunday Sketch #42 for this card.

I hope you all have a wonderful Saturday! I will be crafting! :) And cleaning...and doing laundry, lol.

Snowman Riley

Isn't this Riley just adorable?!? I actually made this card a couple weeks ago while we were watching the Ducks game at Cody's, one of Brent's college friends. Kendall, Cody's girlfriend, asked me for this card...so I have to remember to save it for them.

Paper: My Minds Eye

I hope you all have a fabulous Friday! It's almost the weekend! Anyone have any fabulous plans?
