This is my card for the chipboard only challenge. I had a lot of fun with this card. I used Gears Galore and Butterfly Leaves. I painted them with gold glitter glue and I really like the effect on the chipboard. I added some large flowers from my stash, which I never use since they're too big to use with most images. The papers are from JLJ Designs Steampunk digital paper pack.

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:

1. Crafty Creations #124 - let it shine

2. Everybody Art #147 - anything goes

Sparkly Tilda Box

My mom's birthday is coming up. I was inspired to make a box to hold the present...that I haven't bought yet! I recycled a box that my new computer power cord came in. I cut a hole and put a clear insert that came from a tape container. I had tons of leftover blue sparkle paper from making the invitations for my mom's party.

I colored two mini Tildas and put them on either side of the clear insert. Luckily I had Copics in the right colors to match all that sparkly paper. The "Happy Birthday" that you see is on the

bottom of the box.

You can't see it, but the inside of the box has the same feather boa all around the edges.

I'd like to enter this project in the following challenges:

1. Magnolia Down Under #101 - acetate or transparency

2. Totally Tilda #25 - Tilda on anything but a card

3. Crafts and Me #39 - bling it on

Happy Crafting!

Tilda in Pink

This is my last card for tonight. I find that if I don't post right away, I don't get it done : )

I watched three of Zoe's videos to try to understand pleats and folds better. I'm starting to get there, but I need practice, practice, practice. I'll definitely be watching the videos again. I used R81, 83, and 85 for Tilda's dress; E25, E29, and E35 for her hat.

The papers are from JLJ Design's Pink and Chocolate Paper Pack. The sentiment is from My Mind's Eye and was part of a large set that my sister gave me. I added some flowers and a butterfly from my stash.

I'd like to enter this card in TOMIC #2 - pink, white and brown.

Happy Crafting!

Paper Pieced Tilda

I found this Tilda in my drawer and realized I'd never used her. I have got to stop buying stamps until I use the ones I have...Too late, I bought some new Tildas at the Tickled Pink Stamps sale today.

I really want to learn to color these pretty stamps with all the shading and creases that folks like Zoe manage. To build up my confidence, I started with a mostly paper pieced image (although I'm really happy with the way her hair turned out). The papers, sentiment, ribbon, and flowers are from my stash. The sentiment says "Life's happiest moments are homemade."

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:

1. Just Magnolia #111 - paper piecing

2. Sketchy Colors #75 - sketch

3. Simon Says - Bingo - I used flowers, brads, and sentiment

Happy Crafting!

Because there aren't enough...

...welcome to the world baby horse cards. These are more collaborative cards with my sister. She hangs with a crowd that would like Welcome to the World Baby Horse cards.

We used Lilly Filly from Whimsy Stamps in two color themes - for girl and boy babies : ) I printed a sentiment. For the girl card, I added flowers and JLJ Designs craft pins. The papers are from my stash.

For the boy card, the papers are from Back to

Nature by JLJ Designs. I added the same sentiment and flowers that I cut off a larger "plant" I got at Michael's.

I'd like to enter these cards in the following challenges:

1. IC Sketches #119 - sketch

2. Stamp Something - pretty papers

Happy Crafting!
