Tildas

I colored some Tildas the other night. The first 2 are new stamps that I got right before Christmas and hadn't had a chance to play with until now.

I had a difficult time with this stubborn little Tilda. I colored her and cut her out. She is sitting on a 3-D swing. The board is a small piece of cardstock with chalked edges. The ropes are twine. All of that was the easy part. Trying to decide what to do with her was the hard part. I kept putting her on different backgrounds but I wasn't satisfied with any of them until I used this BG Indian Summer dp paper. I finally decided to leave her alone!

I have to give credit to the layout of these cards and the use of the dp to Danni. She made such a cute card using a sketch from CCEE Stampers.... and CASEd her card!! Be sure to check her original card out on her blog.

Pumpkin Pie Time

Its that time of the year for pumpkin pie--- made these 2 HM fall cards today.

Fall Fluffles

I had forgotten about this image.... not sure, but I'm thinking maybe Terry sent me this one again?? I know I don't have it myself and she is my usual source for Fluffles images. Found it in the image basket last night too! LOL!

I also have to give Terry credit for the layout. I don't work well from sketches, but Terry does. She made a card from a sketch... we were talking about the sketch last night and when I started working on this image/ card last night, I decided to do one similiar. I might not work from a sketch, but I CASE well!!

Indian Corn HM

I love this image!! Believe it or not, I do not have this stamp-- yes, there are a few HM stamps that I do not actually own, if you can believe that!! My internet friend Terry sent me this image last year and I never got around to coloring it. I was rummaging around in my image basket last night and found it. After finishing this one last night, I'm going to go back and look in the basket again to see if I can find another one.

I also have to give some credit to Laura... she is the one that suggested making it Indian corn when we got the images in the mail. Terry always sends enough for both Laura and me, so we don't have to fight over them--- and we both appreciate that!!

Thanks again for the images, Terry!

*** Addendum**** Terry says my CRS is at work again and that this image did not come from her..... I'm asking around, but so far, I haven't found anyone that will take the blame... uh.... credit for it. If you gave me the image, please let me know so I can give you full credit. I usually am better at keeping up with my RAK images so I can give credit when I use one, but obviously, I have failed in that in this instance!! Thank you to whoever sent me this image.... oh... and can I have some more, please???!!

Autumn Scarecrows

I made 2 more cards using my cute little scarecrow stamps from Bilmalarna Stamps.

Both images are colored with prisma pencils and OMS. Also, both have autumn flower soft at their feet. The dp is Basic Grey, Indian Summer.

Very Witchy Halloween Card

I made this card late Friday night, but was so tired, I didn't post it. We had a busy week end, so this is the first chance I've had .

This is another of the Tri fold cards. I used the Halloween stamp set from Inkadinkadoo.

Laura

I've apparently taken a break from posting lately. I actually didn't realize it had been so long!! Laura started back to school on August 20. We've been working to get back into a routine of school and band practice along with a couple of football games. Now, we have to add Contest Play into the mix. She auditioned and got a part in the school contest play. They will perform it for local schools and then also go to several regional/ state competitions with it. I think it will be a good experience for her and I know she will love every minute of it.

This layout is a brief break from the vacation album. Laura actually took this picture in our backyard, and I think its one of the best pics I have of her!! I just love it! I kept the layout very simple so that the picture would be the focal point.

New Card!

Finally!! I have a card to post!! This is actually the card I was working on last month before we left on vacation. Got the details completed yesterday afternoon and it finally got put in the "done" pile!! Felt really good to be crafting and able to complete something!

Another Tri Shutter card

Yes.... another tri-shutter card!! I had to make this one to use up all the scraps that I made from the first card!

I think this is my favorite of the 3. Its more simple, not as much going on, but that's more my style anyway.

I inked all the raw edges with Cat's Eye dark brown chalk. I like the extra dimension that adds!

Ballerina tri shutter card

I'm still playing with the tri shutter pattern. This has one of my favorite images (excluding HM and HHs, of course). This ballerina cracks me up every time I look at her.

Laura-- the real ballerina-- says she hates this image. I don't know if it reminds her of me or if she is afraid she will look like this one day. Whatever the case is, she always rolls her eyes when I make a card using her. Funny, though. She needed a birthday card last month for one of her friends. She looked through my stack of cards and of all the cards to pick from, she took one that this image was on. She said her friend would love it-- and she did!!
