December Monthly Kits...

Whoops I forgot to post the December Monthly Card Kits...

This cutie is Christmas Tilda with Cat

the Copic Coloring Card Kit.

It on Pre-Order until November 15th then a new kit goes up.

I actually have a couple of these ready so you won't have to wait if you order one of those two.

Then we have the Water Coloring Card Kit

Tilda with Cute Lamb.

I also have two of these made up and ready to go.

I did an alternate coloring of this one with copic markers if you like copic instead.

I posted in over on the store blog.

HERE

There's lots of great things going on over on the store blog if you haven't been over there head over and check it out!

Have a fabulous day!

Tilda with Peony...

Yep I'm in the pink mood.

I'm not usually a pink kind of girl, but I love this Basic Grey: Kissing Booth Paper.

The wonderful Tilda with Peony is done in Ranger Distress Inks.

I don't do nearly enough water color kits for the store so thought she would be perfect.
You can find a Card Kit over at Heather's Hobbie Haven
HERE

I colored her entirely with Ranger Distress Reinkers

and then

went back and added a few extra shadows to her hair and the Peony

with Ranger Distress Markers.

I love that you can use the fine point to get into small areas.

Super Cool!

Don't forget about the 6 x 6 paper pad sale going on.

Thanks for stopping by!

Celebration Tilda & A Sale...

I was in the mood for some water coloring

and

The cute butterflies are a Martha Stewart Punch I've had for a while

Tilda with Heart Balloons...

I can't believe I finally got around to coloring up this cute Tilda with Heart Balloons.

Isn't she cute!

I'm slowly working my way through my new Magnolia images.

Cause I really want to get some more new ones.

I know that's terrible, but they are all so cute!

I've already seen a couple of blogs advertising another new collection.

I haven't even gotten any of the current collection yet.

What's a girl to do?

Color faster I guess.. :O)

Have a fabulous day!

Thanks for stopping by.

Koala Hug...

Isn't this Tilda cute?

I'm totally loving her.

Koala Hug

The paper is the new Simple Stories - Fabulous Collection.

I haven't used my Distress Inks in a few days so thought I would

water color this cutie.

I must have spent a good 2 hours coloring this image.

I'm really happy with all the shading.

I even mixed most of the colors this time.

I think she turned out fabulous!

Thanks for stopping by.

 Have a great weekend!

Midwinter Tilda....

Hey everyone. I hope you had a fabulous weekend!

I had a wonderful time at the StampCamp & Cropping Retreat this weekend.

I got a few things colored up.

Including the new Elisabeth Bell stamps by Whimsy Stamps that will be released on Wednesday.

I'm busy making them into kits for the store.

I forgot to share this Tilda I colored a couple of weeks ago.

So thought I had better get on it.

Since it already sold out at the store I'll go ahead and post the instructions

in the Past Kit Instructions link on the store blog if you'd like

to color up your own. You can find it under Helpful Links on the left side bar.

Have a wonderful day!

Thanks for stopping by.

Tilda with Wild Flowers...

Isn't this Tilda adorable?

This is Tilda with Wild Flowers.

I love her cute striped dress and little sweater.

The paper is Basic Grey Picadilly.

The flowers are the centers for the new My Favorite Things Die-Namic Botanical Beauty.

I thought they made cute flowers even though they are the center part.

Hope you all had a great Leap Year Day!

Thanks for stopping by.

Winter Tilda...

I'm working my way through the Tilda's I have sitting in a box to color.

This is Winter Tilda.

I told myself I couldn't buy any more until I inked up the ones I had waiting.

I really wanted some of the Sweet Crazy Love Collection.

and

with the new Princes & Princesses Collection coming out I thought I better get on it.

This this is one of three I had left to color.

How about that awesome Memory Box die: Frostyville Border.

I already had to order more of these wonderful dies for the store.

They are so pretty!

Hope your having a great week!

Thanks for stopping by.

A Little Gift Tilda...

I haven't done a water coloring card kit in a while.

So thought I would do A Little Gift Tilda.

She's been patiently sitting in the box waiting for color.

The paper is Kaiser Crafts Sweet Nothings.

It has some beautiful designs.

I added lots of Stickles Star Dust to her wings, dress and socks.

She looks very pretty.

I'm way behide so it's off to get something done today.

Thanks for stopping by.

Have a great day!

Tilda with Snowheart...

Hey everyone. I thought I would go through my bag of Magnolia images I needed to make into kits. I found this cutie Tilda with Snowheart.  I used a new My Favorite Things Die-Namic: Crown Border. I really like it. I'm going to have to use it more.

I hope you all have a safe and Happy Holiday. Merry Christmas!

For a Friend...

Today I thought I would make a card for a friend. It's always fun to get something in the mail besides bills. At least I think so. So I dug through my already colored pile of images and found this cute Tilda carrying a flower pot. Flowers would surely brighten my day. She's a left over from my Magnolia Bag Book class. The paper is  My Minds Eye Gertie from the Stella Rose Collection.

Lying Tilda..

I have water coloring class this coming Saturday and didn't have my project ready. I whipped it up yesterday using the lay out I used for one of my card kit. Just changed a couple of things. I've had this cute Tilda for a while and haven't inked her up, so thought she would be perfect. Plus my local scrapbook store Memories of Time still has them in stock. I try and use something still available so everyone can buy one.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope your having a fabulous day!

Witch Tilda & Pumpkins...

I had a guessing game the other day and thought I better give the answer before I forgot. The question was how much was USP shipping for my Magnolia order for Heather's Hobbie Haven. It included 25 stamps and 15 DooHickey Dies. They came in a 7 x 3 x 10 box weight about a pound. Are you ready... $169.78. I about had a heart attach. I never imagined it would cost so much. Good heavens I could fly to Sweden and it would be cheaper.. Oh well I'll know for next time.. It will defiantly effect me ordering those for my kits.

I thought I would try some challenges today.. There are so many to join. I get over whelmed..

Garden Tilda..

Check out the new water coloring card kit I added to Heather's Hobbie Haven. Isn't Garden Tilda doing a great job! I love the new My Favorite Thing Die-Namic: Dizzy Doily Duo. Say that three times fast.. I had this bag full of Prima Botanical paper I wanted to use up and thought this would be the perfect image. Then the girls in my class the other day commented that Tilda pants are never blue.. So today they are.

I'll be playing at Memories of Time today. I can't wait. It's always fun to see all the new stuff.. I'm ready for all the new paper that should be coming in soon.

Tomorrow I have to take my car to the dealer and get my CD player fixed (the CD's are jammed) and a recall thingy that I have know idea about. But the CD player jammed is not working for me. I never listen to the radio. I remember why now. They have a million and two commercials that last 10 minutes, then 1 or 2 songs and another 10 minutes of commercials. Thankfully my honey showed me how to use my Ipod in the car. But it doesn't last for long trips and I have to remember to bring it into the house to charge it. So off to the repair shop we go!!

Thanks for stopping by. I hope your having a fabulous day!

Congratulations Tilda...

Look what I just made to add to Heather's Hobbie Haven's Kit collection. Congratulations Tilda I never get tired of this cute image. I've colored it multiple times. The border die is also a new CC Designs Die: Tear Drop Border Die. It's been sitting in the please use me and add me to the store box for a couple of days, so I thought today I would get on it.

There are a few other stamps in there too, but I have to make kits out of them first so I can share them with you. but I did add the Daisy Chain Border Die. I'll try and use that one next time so you can see it. I didn't think to order those cute balloons, I'll order those for the store next time!

Thanks for stopping by. I hope your having a great week!

Tilda with Kite..

It's Thursday already. I finished up my second card for class. I love this little Tilda flying her kite. So summer.. The paper is fun too. It's some old My Minds Eye stuff I found at my LSS.  See the new Magnolia DooHickey cloud? Fabulous!! Although the price wasn't that fabulous!! :O) But I had to have it. I cut TIlda out and man was that kite tail a pain. I ended up cutting some of it off. It was just to small.

Hey thanks for stopping by. I hope your having a great day!!

Tilda Gone Fishing..

Happy Monday everyone. Hope you had a fabulous weekend. We had great weather Saturday, with lots of sun shine. Not so much Sunday, but that's ok. After coloring up Edwin for class I couldn't resist getting out Tilda for next month's class. Water coloring this up was so fun. I used lots of different blues for the water and sky. I can't wait to share it with everyone in class.

I better go start my Copic class for next weekend. I have an idea, but haven't gotten started yet. Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a great day!!
