Gosh, Guys, I'm not even sure I remember how to code this as I write! It's been forever.<br>
<br>
How are each of you? We're OK. Some days are worse than others, but we pray, and pray, and pray with gratitude for each day we have together. I cry a lot. This is just heartbreaking.<br>
<br>
Today, I want to share an easel card I made for our granddaughter. It's a birthday countdown calendar. She loves it. I used a Magnolia Doohickey Die for the tag. It's the lacy one with the perforation. I applied rub on numerals to each tag starting with #14 and down to #1. Then, after #1, it says, "Today's YOUR day! Happy Birthday!' To each tag's lower part, I stamped some birthday themed images. I colored them with Prismacolor pencils since it wasn't watercolor paper but card stock.<br>
<br>
The ribbon is all sparkly and has shades of red, pink, and orange. I added some glitter to the edges of the mats. The flowers are an assortment of colors found in the patterned paper. I created a little tag next to the tags. I also added a present, ribbon, and pebbles in pink. Tilda with Birthday Cake was colored with watercolors. It turned out much better than I thought! <br>
<br>
Here is a photo of the countdown card:<br>

<br>
We were on FaceTime when Mom got the mail. I was able to watch my little granddaughter open the envelope to reveal the card. I was so impressed because the first thing she did was spend five minutes ever so gently running her hand over the card. She was in tactile mode, that's for sure! She is ever so careful with the cards. She also thinks that Tilda is her because of her blonde hair. It is so sweet.<br>
<br>
Well, there you have it. It was a winner with a soon-to-be four year old! It made my heart so warm with joy and love.<br>

Hello Sweet Readers,<br>
<br>
Well, here I am again! That's twice in one week! Today, I have a precious Christmas card to share with you featuring Reindeer Forest Tilda and Fawn. Both have been painted with distress inks and have glittered accents. If you look behind the Tilda image, you can see where I heat embossed Magnolia tree stamps using a white, sparkly embossing powder. I didn't want it to compete with the Tilda. I accentuated the wintery feel by using snowflake glitter as well as metallic glitter on the stamped images. The flower cluster features a whitened cinnamon stick, real pine cones, die cuts, imported flowers, lace, ribbon, and two baubles. Here it is:<br>

Hello Sweet Readers,<br>
<br>
Well, it's been a while since I've blogged. Life has been complicated and busy. If you're reading this, thank you for visiting!<br>
<br>
Today, I have a Christmas card to share with you. It's a cutie card featuring a stamp from Magnolia's Home for the Holidays Collection. The stamp is called <b><U>Home for the Holidays Car</u></b>. I've placed the stamped image on a spring so that it moves and bounces. I liked that it is interactive. The gift in the opposite corner is foiled with a red and gold design enhanced by a green sparkly ribbon. The card is on white Bazzill card stock with red foil card stock behind the Fa La La La La die cut. The patterned papers are Martha Stewart. The Fa La La La La die is by MFT. I used a Stampin'Up Sentiment because it was a perfect match to the theme. The sentiment looks blurry, and I think it is because it is embossed in green rather than inked. It is clear, I hope, IRL. Here is a photo of the image:<br>

Hello Sweet Readers,<br>
<br>
It's been a "Blue Day" for me because of the passing of renown chef, Anthony Bourdain. I just adored him. My day has been a sad one. Despite the sadness, I did manage to get a card front done. I'll do the interior sometime when I get time. Today's card has been bouncing around in my head since I saw the Roller Coaster Tilda stamp. Then, my friend, Jane Johnson did an amazing pull card that used the Magnolia filmstrip die as roller coaster rails! Jane - that was brilliant! I quickly wrote to her and asked if she would give me permission to steal her idea, LOL. I would NEVER do that without asking first. Jane was lovely and said that she would love to see what I do with her concept. So, here it is: <br>
<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUV5e12fdFYFIUcH7jqX2_MJaTej-ItBaG-MmlNB_e00jo5J-s7Ujm_0YUzSzONUpFH9jtZv97bY-Cqv6DwimQT0AMODVHwBl-A9AHahNKvz6iRCslesa8T1aaIPkl6IK0uYh2ojEoCkIo/s1600/Happyday-fr-lg-2b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUV5e12fdFYFIUcH7jqX2_MJaTej-ItBaG-MmlNB_e00jo5J-s7Ujm_0YUzSzONUpFH9jtZv97bY-Cqv6DwimQT0AMODVHwBl-A9AHahNKvz6iRCslesa8T1aaIPkl6IK0uYh2ojEoCkIo/s400/Happyday-fr-lg-2b.jpg" width="400" height="377" data-original-width="700" data-original-height="659" /></a></div><br>
<br>
Here are the deets:<br>
<br>
I watercolored the background to represent an evening scene. The rhinestone stars are both clear and a very, very light purple. I used my Quickutz dies to cut the alphas for the title. "Happy Summer," was going to be my title, but then I thought that the title would be restrictive. "Oh happy day" would be more salable in my Etsy Shop, <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/Cedargirl">A Scrappers Boutique</a>. I went over the alphas with some sparkly Wink of Stella. The filmstrip "rails" were cut from silver metallic card stock. The roller coaster is a die I've had but never used. I guess I was just waiting for the right stamp, and then it appeared! LOL I colored Tilda with Distress Inks. Oh, and I stitched the perimeter using silver metallic thread. The roller coaster cars were made sparkly using Crystal Stickles.<br>
<br>
LHOSM is taking a summer break for the months of June and July. We will see you on August 19 when we begin our next round of challenges! Till then, have a happy summer!<br>

Happy May, Sweet Readers,<br>
<br>
I'm writing this early so I don't forget to write it! LOL This weekend, I have our son and sweet angel granddaughter with us. Oh, it is so wonderful to have them visit. Little One will be three in 2 1/2 months, and is she sharp. By three, her Daddy was already reading on his own; however Miss Eleanor (AKA Princess Puddlepants) knows her colors, shapes, numbers, and can count to 30. I am so proud of her! She had hearing issues early on that affected her verbal and auditory development. After having surgery, she is all caught up, and her verbal ability, as well as her hearing ability, are right where they should be! Bless her heart! I just love her!<br>

Hello sweet readers,<br>
<br>
Happy May! I'm not going to chat today as I've been up all night and am exhausted as well as having blurry eyes!<br>
<br>
Today, I have a fun card to share with you. I fell in love with the Magnolia Field Trip Collection and knew there were ideas that would make for fun cards. This is my first from the collection. It featured two Tilda stamps.<br>
<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcx7RdB6CaYkggKQoW6NwvDdDrK7PEzJf8h93e6pKMVwNJklJZab0pPSn59MpWlk8-MwygGoj9jYPfhyphenhyphenvgMi4zODVn4M_wE6Ydp-FNfB80ZLTvTAs1dfsogOJ-8mXwDynTG410p-AmrDqo/s1600/Tildaland-fr-lg-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcx7RdB6CaYkggKQoW6NwvDdDrK7PEzJf8h93e6pKMVwNJklJZab0pPSn59MpWlk8-MwygGoj9jYPfhyphenhyphenvgMi4zODVn4M_wE6Ydp-FNfB80ZLTvTAs1dfsogOJ-8mXwDynTG410p-AmrDqo/s400/Tildaland-fr-lg-2.jpg" width="400" height="278" data-original-width="700" data-original-height="486" /></a></div><br>
<br>
After creating the tree on the left, I added enamel dots to give dimension. The tree on the right is a composite of two different Magnolia tree dies blended to make a new tree. One of the trees is the fruit tree die. I don't know the name of the other one. The flowers are from the Garden Doohickey themed box. The fence is another doohickey from long ago. The background scene has been watercolored and is from a stamp that is ages old. I added lots of pop dots, glitter, rhinestones, and enamel dots.<br>

<br>
The roller coaster creation involved printing out the pattern, cutting, scoring, and folding. For the interior, I wanted to carry the theme by using the Tilda in a roller coaster car. She's so cute! The clouds are both Magnolia nnd Memory Box.<br>

Hello sweet readers,<br>
<br>
I hope this post finds you well and happy! It's Spring here in the desert and everything is blooming! This is your midway reminder for the current challenge at the LHOSM Challenge Blog. The theme is:</font><br>
<br>
<center><font size="7"><i><b>Spring Flowers</b></i></font></center><br>
<br>
<font size="4">For my inspiration card, I've chosen to use On the Road Tilda from the Seabreeze Collection. I think she is just adorable and the kind of gal I was when I was younger - with the bicycle! This is the first time I've inked her up, too! LOL She DID keep calling my name over the months! LOL<br>
<br>
Here is my card:<br>

<br>
I loved that the sentiment on the inside complimented the sentiment on the front. The papers were so perfect for Spring with the little flowers everywhere. Do you like it? LOL<br>
<br>
Tilda has been colored with Distress Inks. I've added lots of layers and elevations using pop dots. The flowers in the bicycle basket have been accented with yellow glitter. The flowers are from my stash. I'm thinking that the papers used are from Doodlebug Designs. A doily is tucked behind the image mat. The grass has been cut using a Doohickey Die and is elevated so that the bicycle is behind the grass. This sentiment on the Spellbinders banner was done with Doodlebug rub ons.<br>

Hello sweet readers,<br>
<br>
Happy Easter to each of you! I hope you will be surrounded by family and friends! I love Easter. I love that the colors change from the Winter darks to the bright or soft Spring colors.<br>
<br>
One of my favorite memories, from when I was younger as well as when we were in the first 15 years of marriage, was to make Italian Easter Bread. It had whole dyed hard boiled eggs, in the shells, embedded in the top crust. I would take the bread a step further and create a lower level on which I would add Italian deli meats - prosciutto, salami, ham and a layer of Italian cheese - provolone, fontina, and mozzarella. I would close up the two layers of dough to keep the cheese in during the baking process. It would always be so pretty with the golden crust, colorful eggs, and after being cut open, the meat and cheese. I'm too old now to make it, LOL.<br>
<br>
Today, I have a quickie card to share with you featuring Gelato Tilda from the Summer 17 collection. I think she is a little cutie. Here she is:<br>

<br>
Tilda has been hand painted. The primary color is a deep purple that almost looks blue. The embellies are not involved making this card a quickie. The interior has been finished to match the front.<br>

Hello sweet readers,<br>
<br>
Well, the trash men were here in their big, noisy truck at 5:45 AM. So, with all the banging, I decided not to fight the frustration of being unable to get back to sleep. I got showered, folded a load of clothes, got another load in the dryer, made DH's breakfast, got dinner in the slow cooker, called a computer repair shop because my Photoshop was giving me some issues, took a ton of photos, Photoshopped them, and am now ready to share them with you! DH was gone for two hours with his companion. They went to a botanical garden and hiked around. It is always good when DH gets out and has some exercise and fresh air. He came home all tuckered out and is now napping! Win/win!<br>
<br>
I've had this card in my head for a while. As a matter of fact, the cards I've been working on when I can steal a minute here and there, have all been bouncing around in my head for weeks. This card features Tilda with Daisy Mae, the Tiger. I wanted it to be a card that would touch a heart. Here it is:<br>
<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhU_-1mfVaG9e_j3nGBm_KYGIg3Y7dMJmTk1wkxVFDY_9pkavIqIW0c2MmZbNgTKY6j2RcR69lIQ9Ahyphenhyphenv471kzrLtmMKq9RMzdR9s9toNvIlfQnf1n2BNvq3H0BHHmIsYioyAe6iKqOJMPK/s1600/9+lives-fr-hg-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhU_-1mfVaG9e_j3nGBm_KYGIg3Y7dMJmTk1wkxVFDY_9pkavIqIW0c2MmZbNgTKY6j2RcR69lIQ9Ahyphenhyphenv471kzrLtmMKq9RMzdR9s9toNvIlfQnf1n2BNvq3H0BHHmIsYioyAe6iKqOJMPK/s400/9+lives-fr-hg-2.jpg" width="400" height="376" data-original-width="1600" data-original-height="1504" /></a></div><br>
<br>
I chose pastel blue and gray so it would work for a male (sort of, LOL). Tilda has been watercolored. The papers used are from Teresa Collins. The removable tag has a stamped image of Napoleon the cat on it.<br>
<br>
Here is a shot of the interior panels:<br>

<br>
I thought the sentiment was a sweet one and complimented the sentiment on the front. The little charm has the work "Love" etched into it.<br>

Hello dearest readers,<br>
<br>
Tilda Edwin's QOD is where do I scrap? Beside the answer, we were asked to post a photo of our scrap room. Well, since I could only post one photo on the FB page, I thought I'd post the rest here. The furniture and decorations are from Pottery Barn. I've since replaced the ampersand sign with a pair of wooden scissors the same size as the ampersand sign. I liked them better, LOL. Here is my little place to recoup and lose myself, LOL!<br>

Hello sweet readers,<br>
<br>
I had a very, very busy day, today. Lots of cooking and cleanup as well as other household chores. It was a very gray day with rain coming, so it was perfect to get a pot of chicken broth going for soup tomorrow. The house smells sooooo good!<br>
<br>
Guess what? It's time for your midway reminder for Challenge #156 at the Lovely Hanglar or Sweet Magnolia Challenge Blog. Our theme this month is<br>
<br>

<br>
For my inspiration card, I've chosen to use Have Dinner with Me Tilda from the Recipe Card Collection. I think this stamp is so sweet and perfect for a Mother's Day card. It's one of my favorites from that collection.<br>
<br>
Here is my card:<br>
<br><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGuTXEtcpSau75sOW_5Z9qmgGYMF2KrMqOPPIJdLjRzZf09GiBNki2fFs_8p2ZiRLNDG9haJ2UgMBP_3UOgr7THcjMmvDooP7LmB-4Kmdmrmh8WnRN4qt7gAGJ53jGgISp0lk8nm2zJjQS/s1600/Mother%2527sDay-fr-lg-2b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGuTXEtcpSau75sOW_5Z9qmgGYMF2KrMqOPPIJdLjRzZf09GiBNki2fFs_8p2ZiRLNDG9haJ2UgMBP_3UOgr7THcjMmvDooP7LmB-4Kmdmrmh8WnRN4qt7gAGJ53jGgISp0lk8nm2zJjQS/s400/Mother%2527sDay-fr-lg-2b.jpg" width="400" height="364" data-original-width="700" data-original-height="637" /></a></div><br>
<br>
I chose to color Tilda with Distress Inks. I've used lots of pop dots to elevate portions of the card so that it isn't flat. The doily has been elevated from the background and the circular cut out around Tilda has been elevated off the doily. There are lots of die cuts inside and out. After the card was done, I thought it needed a bit of sparkle, so I added a thin line of Crystal Stickles around the circle. The banner was cut from a Spellbinder's Die, and the sentiment is from Stampin' Up.
The gorgeous papers are from Craft and You - the Beautiful Day Collection. I'm thinking that the leaf and circular dies are by Marianne Design. The flowers are from my stash.<br>
<br>
Here is a photo of the interior. I used some floral rub ons because they matched the papers so beautifully.<br>

Hello sweet readers,<br>
<br>
I have another card to share today that is the result of another sleepless night. Things keep my mind so active. I'm stressed and always on the verge of tears. So, after laying in the dark for two hours, I just get up and go to my craft room to make good use of time otherwise spent tossing and turning.<br>
<br>
Today's card doesn't have a Tilda, but it does have Doohickey dies. I just couldn't paint. Here it is:<br>
<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-u1ZJD4l0Mn396cC8EGsfxF5YwTVqkWnEcTRVPxRgyUNuuQaogMC1eVd9bTGU56xraQzgO_esfC9aIQJPsuzgN_mY_SYxebFvaCqzzit9WDxUmGS1hrrba92CMPD0tdCShd_ExfFqJNZU/s1600/Bunny+Love-fr-lg-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-u1ZJD4l0Mn396cC8EGsfxF5YwTVqkWnEcTRVPxRgyUNuuQaogMC1eVd9bTGU56xraQzgO_esfC9aIQJPsuzgN_mY_SYxebFvaCqzzit9WDxUmGS1hrrba92CMPD0tdCShd_ExfFqJNZU/s400/Bunny+Love-fr-lg-2.jpg" width="400" height="385" data-original-width="700" data-original-height="674" /></a></div><br>
<br>
For the front, I used Bazzill yardstick, Jillibean paper, pearls, and the following Doohickey Dies: Vintage Frame, flowers and vine from Doohickey Kit Volume 9, Doily is from Doohickey Kit 14. The bow, bunny die, and love word are from my stash.<br>
<br>

Hello sweet readers,<br>
<br>
It's been a very busy week for me. I'm tired! LOL I've had this card done for a couple of weeks, but just didn't have time to post it until today. I hope you like it.<br>
<br>
Today's card showcases Masquerade Tilda from the You're Invited Collection. I don't do dark cards, but I started this during Mardi Gras in New Orleans and for some reason, this is the direction it took. Here it is:<br>
<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimPcGIpp0ayiTFq7fmuERNsXZobL6fJGUXCn2UmSlBYZZQcN9tn9AYqyEnjIZGXN_kgW8z-ulkCS_D3EUNidrLYhmSntigmDOgQvBvRakSeebWGdPWym4p2ZELVQIwCysW2HC8swOb_H8k/s1600/Masquerade-fr-lg-2g.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimPcGIpp0ayiTFq7fmuERNsXZobL6fJGUXCn2UmSlBYZZQcN9tn9AYqyEnjIZGXN_kgW8z-ulkCS_D3EUNidrLYhmSntigmDOgQvBvRakSeebWGdPWym4p2ZELVQIwCysW2HC8swOb_H8k/s400/Masquerade-fr-lg-2g.jpg" width="400" height="387" data-original-width="700" data-original-height="677" /></a></div><br>
<br>
The card is so much better IRL than the photo shows. The Kaisercraft paper has gold foil printed within the design. The Magnolia die cuts, mask and feather, have been cut and embossed on gold foil card stock. The large mask at the bottom, La La Land Crafts, has also been cut from gold foil card stock. I enhanced Tilda's dress with gold ink (which I don't think you can see in the photo). So there are gold elements on the front and interiors. A matching ribbon, feathers, and black glittered card stock complete the front. Here is a photo of the interior panels:<br>

Hello sweet readers,<br>
<br>
Why does time seem to speed by as we get older? I remember thinking that the minutes and hours were just creeping by. Now, time passes in a blink!<br>
<br>
Did you have a nice Valentine's Day? Did your honey give you a special somethin' somethin'? My sweetie was such a romantic. One year, I went to the car to go to work and found the most beautiful heart shaped ruby ring attached to the steering wheel! I was so touched. Another year, and I am NOT bragging, I was stunned, I was give the keys to a new BMW 7 Series (my favorite car). It was the color I had mentioned loving. I named her "Buffy." Buffy served me well for several years until a nitwit in a truck ran a stop sign and broadsided me - totaling Buffy. I was devastated! I loved, loved, loved that car! Any vehicles that came after Buffy just didn't measure up. I would LOVE to know what your best Valentine gift ever was. Would you share below?<br>
<br>
Today, I am showcasing my very first card for LHOSM. The theme this month, of course, is<br>
<br>
<center><b><u><font size="10"><font color="#FFD801">LOVE</font></center></font></b></u><br>

<br>
Since Valentine's Day has passed, I thought I'd make a card that would work for any time of the year. I chose the colors gray and yellow. The stamp I chose to use is Tilda with Inez the Bunny from the Animals of the Year Collection. I thought she was just too cute! The floral sprays are a Memory Box die. The precious LOVE die was a gift from a sweet cyber friend, so its source is unknown. Tilda was colored with a mixture of Distress Inks and pencils.<br>

Hello sweet readers,<br>
<br>
Last week was VERY exciting for me. I was invited to join two Design Teams! Due to my DH's illness, I could only join one. I would have so loved to join both. But, time is precious and I need so much time to take care of our lives. I chose to join the Lovely Hanglar and Sweet Magnolia Design Team.<br>
<br>
I have a card to share with you today. I took little bits of time almost every day. I hope you like it. I didn't want it to necessarily be a Valentine's Day card. I keep asking myself, if it wasn't February, would it look less Valentiney? LOL I wanted it to be for a male and apply to other situations such as thinking of you, miss you, etc.<br>
<br>
Here it is:<br>
<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmzQvCDbANrKIaCwnwYS04n-K6767annMEM4FF5Wp6t6NXKzhpQExy3y5vya0YVgoZAVKz0U5o3IbYCwPp2Ap6Ca0Wg9-rlKJDJFjbJsQDKDe7FGkiFCe-KB217xGO-j4CguqMCSEHOmcU/s1600/Sending+Love-fr-lg-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmzQvCDbANrKIaCwnwYS04n-K6767annMEM4FF5Wp6t6NXKzhpQExy3y5vya0YVgoZAVKz0U5o3IbYCwPp2Ap6Ca0Wg9-rlKJDJFjbJsQDKDe7FGkiFCe-KB217xGO-j4CguqMCSEHOmcU/s400/Sending+Love-fr-lg-2.jpg" width="301" height="400" data-original-width="700" data-original-height="931" /></a></div><br>
<br>
As you can see, there is no Tilda image! Instead, I focused on really cute die cuts. I just love, love, love that typewrite Doohickey Die! It is so stinkin' cute! The word "LOVE" was a gift from my cyber friend, Tina. The white panel is also a Doohickey die as is the banner on the bottom. The sentiment is computer generated.<br>
<br>

Does it look too girly?<br>

Hello sweet readers,<br>
<br>
It's almost time for Valentine's Day! I thought I'd make a cute Peek-A-Boo card to celebrate the holiday. It has a lot of detailed elements that took a lot of precision and time. My photos stink, though. I don't know what the secret is to taking good photos! <br>
<br>
For this card, I chose to use a new Tilda from the You are Invited Collection. It is named, "Tilda Throws Away Hearts." I thought the design would be perfect to showcase our little cutie pie! Here it is:<br>
<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqPRgVjBkdxUebNCcqYfO5PJKpR6RJre0CBo09YaBlA5ExXRa_lAu84PHurLGZheTiiNQh_DDz35jvr-89eSHjm4261L7XsgaJeLR-M1N1B-GSKAjcjtWWXuczzpKJkPIlzSXEBZjbuMqR/s1600/Guess+What-fr-lg-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqPRgVjBkdxUebNCcqYfO5PJKpR6RJre0CBo09YaBlA5ExXRa_lAu84PHurLGZheTiiNQh_DDz35jvr-89eSHjm4261L7XsgaJeLR-M1N1B-GSKAjcjtWWXuczzpKJkPIlzSXEBZjbuMqR/s320/Guess+What-fr-lg-2.jpg" width="262" height="320" data-original-width="700" data-original-height="854" /></a></div><br>
<br>
For the front of the card, I chose to make a pocket that is edged in white glittered card stock. I also created a tag design using the components from the typewrite die set (which I forgot to arrange before taking the shot). The alphas have been cut from my alpha dies. The heart frame, around Tilda is also glittered card stock. Of course, there is an array of flowers.<br>
<br>
Here is a look at the interior panels:<br>
<br.
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwLHcE4pU1Q3R26dB6uYv3bsZPbu5o7g9lydk0nJBarvxTxA68QAMveekwU4NweA2nfKpONgV6s6wzzMuoy1YHL55ypBlXLCaDS73rL4MqTEPU_hBBmJWAnK_F0eny75D9aaOiBUQ0-MhJ/s1600/Guess-in-all-lg-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwLHcE4pU1Q3R26dB6uYv3bsZPbu5o7g9lydk0nJBarvxTxA68QAMveekwU4NweA2nfKpONgV6s6wzzMuoy1YHL55ypBlXLCaDS73rL4MqTEPU_hBBmJWAnK_F0eny75D9aaOiBUQ0-MhJ/s320/Guess-in-all-lg-2.jpg" width="320" height="224" data-original-width="700" data-original-height="489" /></a></div><br>
<br>
Again, I use some of my alpha dies for the sentiment. Tilda has some cute, sparkly, pink triangular rhinestones around her to enhance the hearts being thrown into the air. I used Wink of Stella to the stamped hearts to add some subtle sparkle. Tilda has been watercolored.<br>
<br>
I thought it would be a nice card for a guy, so I kept away from ribbons and lace.<br>

Hello sweet readers,<br>
<br>
I just cannot believe it is mid January! It has been so warm here that I dread the thought of what the upcoming summer might be like! Our temps are Spring temperatures and we've had almost no rain. The mountains are usually snowcapped and have nothing on them. The two times the mountains did get snow, it was gone the next day because it is so warm. Ugh! We get dry and warm while the east coast of our country has been buried in frigid temperatures and feet of snow!<br>
<br>
I couldn't sleep the other night, again, and made this little card between midnight and 4:30 AM, LOL. It doesn't have frills, but it is pretty cute. I chose the new Get Well Tilda and the accompanying EKG line die. The mat die is also Magnolia, but I don't know its name. Here she is:<br>
<br>

<br>
The inside has only the lower panel done. It features a really cute bow with red and white checked ribbon on which the manufacturer has printed, "I Love You" on it in black. Too cute!<br>

Hello and welcome back, Sweet Readers,<br>
<br>
Well, how is the New Year going for you? Ours is going well so far. I've been busy taking care of DH and all the daily routines. Tomorrow I go to the doctor to see why my heart is going crazy. I think it's stress. I hope it is stress. I've been busy testing recipes. I've made a delicious Asiago Bisque, Dill Pickle Soup, Dill Pickle and Cheddar bread, a wonderful baked fruit dessert with apples, cranberries, pineapple, and pears seasoned with cinnamon and nutmeg, maple syrup, and brown sugar. It was soooooo good! The house smelled wonderfully.<br>
<br>
I got some time here and there to work on a card. I used Band Aid Tilda and forced myself to use my least favorite color, purple. I also used a "no lines" technique for the first time. Thank you, Jane, for helping me get the courage to give it a go. Thank you, also, Diana Crick, for the die! I love it!<br>
<br>
Here is a photo of my card:<br>

<br>
<br>
Tilda has been hand painted with DIs. I found some flower sequins which matched in color and added some sparkle. I used a pearl for each center. I used the stethoscope and band aid dies from the Get Well Collection. Inside is the pill bottle die filled with little heart-shaped "meds!" LOL Lots of different dies and imported flowers. The papers are Sofiero.<br>

Happy New Year, Sweet Readers,<br>
<br>
It's still early here, on New Year's Eve, so I thought I would get a quick post of a card I did the other night when I couldn't sleep. I hope you like it. Here it is:<br>

<br>
I thought this stamp matched the sentiment's sweetness. Tilda has been hand painted. The cactus die cut is from Magnolia's Pop Up Box #1. I enhanced the cactus using Primacolor pencils and adding flower sequins to which I added pearl centers. The interior is finished on one panel with another Saguaro Cactus die cut that is different from the one on the front. It's a perfect card when your words get out before you can stop talking! I'm an expert at running my mouth and regretting it shortly afterward, **sigh**<br>

Hello Dearest Readers, <br>
<br>
I hope you are doing well and enjoying your Fall. I've been in bed for the past week with a severe respiratory infection. It has been very bad. I thought about going to the hospital once or twice because I couldn't breathe due to the severe coughing. I think I'm on the mend, but am not so sure yet. I need to get well because Thanksgiving is coming and I have dinner to prepare. As you know, these holiday dinners take a lot of time, effort, and stamina. I'm pretty weak right now.<br>
<br>
I have a card to share with you today. It's been done for a couple of weeks, but I never got around to taking a photo of it. Here it is:<br>
<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq37UijuaUhFZlZbLyOQtrPoN2w4sLRxqUSiuH8dxIz_WI4eCo918J2wrtqoHVUtX6t7z6y_F0IqNPltuIxvfBIU1_LDpepooYg-UG7PFXz_5QmPEfE8iz9lEWtuFPuYCERcw0iPzy5prr/s1600/Falling+for+you-fr-lg-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq37UijuaUhFZlZbLyOQtrPoN2w4sLRxqUSiuH8dxIz_WI4eCo918J2wrtqoHVUtX6t7z6y_F0IqNPltuIxvfBIU1_LDpepooYg-UG7PFXz_5QmPEfE8iz9lEWtuFPuYCERcw0iPzy5prr/s400/Falling+for+you-fr-lg-2.jpg" width="400" height="375" data-original-width="700" data-original-height="656" /></a></div><br>
<br>
This card features Windy Tilda from the 2007 Fall Stamps Collection. Notice the movement drawn into the image. I had talked about that in the previous post below. I love those older stamps because of that characteristic. I think this stamp is a cutie.<br>
<br>
Tilda has been colored with DIs. There are many layers of card stock, decorative papers, doilies, and die cuts. All of the leaves have been punched from various colors of card stock. I used Doohickey dies for the mushrooms, street lamp, and fence. The cluster in the upper right features some little fruit I got from Magnolia as well as some textured grass leaves. I added real mini pine cones and a sweet little acorn charm. A bow of twine finishes off the cluster.<br>

Hello Dearest Readers, <br>
<br>
Well, it's been a while. Sorry about my absence. Things are so busy here, and I've been sick. I haven't even gotten to play with some of my new Magnolia "toys!" LOL<br>
<br>
Today, I'm going to share with you a sweet tag featuring Flower Power Tilda from the 2006 Shabby Chic Collection. I love this little stamp. She was one of the first stamps I bought when I started card making after getting bored with scrapbooking. There's something so special about the earlier Magnolia stamps. I think it's the simple lines and the movement shown in the details. In this case, the way Tilda's hair is flowing. Here she is:<br>
<br>

<br>
Tilda has been colored with Distress Inks, Prismacolor Pencils, and Derwent Watercolor Pencils. The paper used is Pion. The flowers are from my supply. I used Joy Craft dies, pearls, and a stick pin I put together.<br>
<br>
Want to see the back? I did finish it but wanted it to be something on which a message could be written.<br>

Hello Dearest Readers, <br>
<br>
Happy Friday Eve! We were up all night with thunder and lightning for hours. It started about 4:00 AM and lasted until about 1:00 PM. It was wonderful! Everyone I spoke with today said what a wonderful day it was! Quite a contrast here in the desert where we rarely get rain and those areas in the southern parts of the USA that were inundated with rain. Our hearts and prayers go out to them. There is such devastation. I am so blessed.<br>
<br>
I hope this post finds you happy and well!<br>
<br>
I have a card to share with you today that I think you will love! Well, I hope you like/love it! I used Tripping Flower Tilda from the Special Moments collection. I think this little Tilda is so pretty. I wanted the card to have an Asian theme. I chose to use Graphic 45's Birdsong Paper. It is so pretty. I had the butterfly flower die for a while and never used it. I"m not sure who made it because I no longer had the packaging. I had it tucked in with La La Land's other semicircle dies. Maybe it's from La La Land Crafts? I added pearls to accentuate the design's elements. I also like the flower cluster. I kept to the colors found in the papers. I used a tassle die and added some pearls to it as well I think the mat on which Tilda is positioned is from Spellbinders. I had it in my Spellbinder die case. Tilda was watercolored. Here it is:<br>
<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivc0UG3q0AZ0fsjvwvWVwhnhNojxI-vWSzT76OZ62tSWwvOomA0yA8HqSeG63Irzev3Sexgfkqt0aVRrmZuoTz50yx0IzE_QVfBTAhGNO-drQez9G8LKCz30Nn27WThoQ5qkNCmVz67_pC/s1600/Asian-fr-lg-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivc0UG3q0AZ0fsjvwvWVwhnhNojxI-vWSzT76OZ62tSWwvOomA0yA8HqSeG63Irzev3Sexgfkqt0aVRrmZuoTz50yx0IzE_QVfBTAhGNO-drQez9G8LKCz30Nn27WThoQ5qkNCmVz67_pC/s320/Asian-fr-lg-2.jpg" width="320" height="300" data-original-width="700" data-original-height="657" /></a></div><br>
<br>
The interior panels are both done. I used Magnolia's Chinese umbrella dies as well as their Chinese Lantern dies. Again, the die shape is by Spellbinders (I think). The lanterns have been elevated using pop dots to provide some dimension. The pearl/rose swirls are so pretty and are by Prima.<br>
<br>

Hello Sweet Readers,<br>
I've had such a hectic time lately. The card I'm going to share today took me two weeks to get done! Whenever I could sneak away for a few minutes, I would go and work on it. Care for DH is becoming more and more apparent. Many days, he doesn't remember how to put on his clothes. Please keep us in your prayers. This is so hard on the entire family. **tears**<br>
<br>
Now to a brighter side! Would you like to see my card? Well, here it is:<br>

When I saw Farmer Tilda (Farm to Market Collection), I knew I wanted to pair her with the barn and Magnolia's Joyful Piglet. They were such a perfect match. That little piglet is so cheery and was the perfect size. I have him on a pop dot so that he is elevated. I also used the Magnolia Chicken Wire die - and why not? LOL - Chicken wire can be found on a farm, too! The little plant clusters were made using Flower Soft. I love the background paper I used. I love the scenic elements printed on it. It's an old pad by Nikki Sivils, I think. Tilda has been painted with DIs. The wheat is also from Magnolia. I finally got to use it! LOL. The upper, smaller barn doors open to reveal a nest of chicken eggs.<br>
<br>

Hello Dearest Readers,<br>
<br>
Well, here I am again - so fast, too! I haven't been feeling well lately. Getting old isn't for sissies, that's for sure! Almost a month ago, I fell over the opened door of the dishwasher and broke the door. I didn't see the stupid door that had been left down because the floor is white tile and the interior of the dishwasher WAS also white. So, I missed the door and landed on it when I fell. I'm hurting and still have bruises on my shins. My back is aching if I turn a certain way. I fell so hard and am so glad that the lower rack with the spikey things wasn't out, too. I need to find a cave to live in, I think!<br>
<br>
Today, I loaded seven cards in my Etsy shop. The card I'm sharing today is for sale along with some cute little blank note cards -----><br>

I chose an older Tilda that I thought was so sweet and needed to be used. I made the larger flowers all by myself, LOL! The rosebuds are imported. The card edge has been inked in white. Tilda has been watercolored. The interior of the card has been finished on both panels. It's such a girly card! Here is a shot of the interior:<br>

Hello Sweet Readers,<br>
<br>
Are you still here? It's been such a long time since I've posted. I am so sorry, but life has a way of eating every spare minute I'm having. Thank you for visiting this time. I hope you won't forget me. Please know that if I could be here more often, I would.<br>
<br>
Today, I am sharing a birthday card featuring Jedi Edwin. I apologize for the terrible photo, but as I was adjusting the light, the ring that holds the base to the pole of the lamp flew out of the base and fell somewhere behind my scrap table. I will have to look for it tomorrow in the daylight (it's 1:30 AM now). So, the photo is dark. I thought this stamp was so adorable. My image has been painted with Distress Inks and then enhanced with Prisma Colored Pencils. Here is my card front.<br>

It's hard to see in the photo, but the sky is a clear pink with gray at the bottom level. It looks so cool IRL. My little scene is a little wonky, so please don't laugh too hard! I drew the house and the various soil components. I never claimed to be an artist, LOL.<br>
<br>
The inside has been finished as well on both panels. There are glittery elements inside and out. The moon and large star are elevated on pop dots. I added the enamel dots to simulate additional moons.<br>
<br>
