Snowy Tilda and Edwin

I've had this background for ages, but I think this is the first time I've used it for myself. I've stamped it for other people, but never myself.

Tilda and Edwin are cut out and popped with some pop dots about the background.

Paper Pieced Tildas

Here are 2 more of the paper pieced Tildas... which just happen to fall into Danni's weekend theme of Magnolia stamps!!

House Mouse Birthday

Into the mix of Tildas that I've been working on this week end, an occasional house mouse wanders across the craft table while I'm working. This little guy needed a home. I love this image. I got it in an image swap, but enjoyed working on the image so much, I've ordered the stamp.... plus, Laura fell in love with him and was not happy when I didn't have any images to share with her.

The soap bubbles and water are stickled, so they really sparkle. Love that Stickles!!

Tilda Weekend

My friend, Danni, has been working on "themed weekends". I couldn't play last week, but this weekend is Magnolias. I just happened to have some Tildas that needed attention!!

I love this cute image that I got just before Christmas, but the card layout did give me some headaches.

This is a lonely, neglected Tilda stamp that I've had for ages but had not inked before. I like the way she looks, so she is sure to be used more from now on and not collect dust as before.

This is one of the images that I've been working on with paper piecing. Again, her dress and socks are paper pieced.

Another cute Tilda... this one has 3-dimensional raindrops.

Same image as before, but this one is colored a little differently and different papers/ embellies.

Another new stamp that had not been used before.

House Mouse Birthday

This is such a cute House Mouse image sent to me by my friend, Terry. The image is so large, there's not much room left to work with the card, so I just matted it simply and put the sentiment on it.

Hearts are stickled, too.

Paper Piecing

I've been saying for ages that I was going to try paper piecing, but never seem to think of it when I'm actually at the craft table. That changed this week and I did finally try it. My friend, Michelle, in STL warned me that it was addictive and she most certainly was right. As soon as I cut out the pieces for the first image/ card, I went right back to stamp some more for 3 more cards!

There are 3 actual pieces of paper pieced for this image... one is the striped paper for the dress and then 2 pieces for the sleeve and socks.

I'm not a big fan of cutting stuff out with scissors, but I do like how the finished image looks!! Guess I will be doing more of it in the future!!

House Mouse Birthday

Love these little mice. I don't think its possible to make a bad card as long as you're using a House Mouse!! This image was a RAK from my friend, Terry, who is also a HM addict-- lucky for me.

The water is highlighted with Stickles and really sparkles and shines in person.

Snow Angel

I got this adorable image in an image round robin that I participated in last year. I've loved the image for a long time and was so excited to find some in the round robin box when it arrived. It has, however, taken me quite sometime to color the images and make cards with them.

It doesn't show up on the photo, but the snow is highlighted with Stickles, making it really sparkle.

Christmas 2010

I've finished my first Christmas cards for 2010!! I know, I know, but you can never get too early of a start! This cute image was sent to me by one of my internet friends, Teresa H. in SC. I think it is an adorable nativity image and couldn't resist coloring it, even if it is a little early for Christmas cards. Thanks for the cute images, Teresa.

Bath Time

I love how this image turned out. I think it made a really pretty card-- just not sure I can part with it!! LOL!!

Happy Hoppers

Love those Happy Hoppers!! Here are 2 of the images I colored over the week end.

Snowy Images

More of those colored images that have been hiding out on my desk. I've been searching through everything, trying to gather them all up and find homes for them.

Both Changito images are from my friend, Terry.

Snowy

Of course, I had to take pictures of Laura's first drive in the snow. She's determined that she is going to learn to drive in bad weather, and has had lots of opportunity to practice this winter.

Guest Scrapper

With all of the recent snow, I've had plenty of extra scrap time on my hands.... and so has Laura. All of these pages are hers. She's been working on her dance pages.

One clever thing that she did that I really like can be easily seen on the first page. Instead of putting brads on the corner of the title and journaling, she put little dots of black stickles... looks just like a brad, but was much easier for her and she could control the size "brad" that she wanted!!

Another Sugar Nellie

This is another of the Sugar Nellie images. I colored a bunch of them before Christmas and never got them on cards until now. The colors on the scan are terrrible. She is actually a bright pink and bright green.... but you get the idea.

Snow Day 2010

Laura's first snow day came late this year, but she and the dogs enjoyed it.... and I enjoyed gettins some scrapping done!!

Snowy Sugar Nellie

Worked on this card Monday and just now getting the chance to post her... she is a Sugar Nellie. Used my SU matt pack for the corner piercing and a cuttlebug embossing folder for the snowflakes.

Birthday Card

This is the card I made for my nephew's birthday.

Sugar Nellie

This is a Sugar Nellie image. I finished her up today after we came home from church. I love how she turned out and definitely want to make some more of these for Christmas!!

Christmas Cards

Seals are an endangered species... at our house. I had a seal image colored and on this card-- only needed to add the finishing touches when the new addition to our family-- a black, curious, pesky kitten decided to check it out. I couldn't save the image after her little paws examined it more closely, but was able to color another image and salvage the rest of the card.

It doesn't show up in the picture, but the baby seal is painted with Shimmerz, so she has lots of shine!!


I found a bunch of small house mouse and Fluffle images in my image basket last night. I had colored them last Christmas, and then didn't use them. I put them on cards this morning. I felt like I had won a lottery by finding images already finished and ready for a card!!
