Fantastic Skies

 Eeeeeeks it's been almost 2 months since I posted anything so how about some gorgeous sky pics from the Fraser valley of BC, Canada taken in   December.  

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!!

Santa's Power Nap

I kind of rushed this one to get it in for the challenge at Phindy's Place Blog, the challenge is piece stamping.  My first time doing a digi piece stamp & it was fun.   Here is the link to Phindy's store she has lots of fantastic digis.

I printed the chair on green & embossed with my cuttlebug, his pants are pieced as well as his hat, colored with my Copics, some glossy accents & glitter.

A Few Winter Cards

 When I saw this little girl sipping her hot chocolate at Phindy's I just had to add her to my collection of digis from Phindy, she is just too adorable.

 Another Phindy Digi, this winter house with the little girl in the bottom are both from Phindy.  I love coloring her artwork, it is so well done.

This is Frozen Pond from High Hope Stamps with my little Magnolia couple skating from Magnolia-Licious

Now that I have a start with these 3 I look forward to having more fun in the snow, on my cards that is.

Bird Whisperer

I colored this digi some time ago & finally made a card out of it.  A digi from Whimsie stamps.

Squeezes

Another of Phindy's Digis called Squeezes, colored with Copics.

Seven Deadly Sins

This stamp from Bildmalarna was a must have.  She reminds me of an old party/drinking buddy from the 70's.  She was just so darn happy go lucky.

Another Phindy Digi

I just love the happy little expression on this little girl's face.

A Stage Pop-up

Saw this at SCS so of course I had to give it a try, these sure are fun to do.  I did a topper for the front but didnt' turn out too well so I'm not sharing :>)

Hello

Another of my digis from Phindy, I love this lady's artwork, her detail is amazing & characters charming.  I think I just may enter this one into the current "buttons" challenge over at Phindy's Challenge Blog

Little Reader

Dad's Grilling

My furbabies asked me to make one for their Dad.  Another digi from Phindy.

Kissed Butterfly & Flowers

This is the "kiss" technique I haven't done this one in years but reminded of it on a challenge blog.  Basically I inked a solid stamp in pink (butterfly), then I inked a background leaf stamp with purple, gently let the stamps "kiss" each other, then I put the image to paper.  I've done the same thing with the flowers below.  The background was done using both stamps individually. 

I have to add this: the card is 4 1/4 by 6, not by choice I cut the 4 1/4 side from a 12x12 but for got I hadn't cut the other end yet, couldn't figure why it wasn't working...................opppppps

A Few Flowers

I found a free template for this watering can card, has a little piece attached to the back for adding a message & to stand the card.

The Little Park Digger

Same inks, same color, well DUH for me eh.....LMFAO

My New Car

I've been playing around with distress inks, this is what I've come up with, then sprayed a little gold over it.  This is my favorite car by Magnolia, I think the card still needs something.......hmmmmm  Any suggestions?

The Bakery

A Gardener's Side Step

Sidestep Card

Tilda Drives

Well this was a fun card, took me forever to choose my passenger & driver but I'm pleased with both :>)  The little car is from Alota of Rubber stamps, the dog is part of a Penny Black stamp & we all know where Tilda comes from.

Tilda Rests

This cute little loveseat is from Alota Rubber Stamps, too cute for Tilda to sit on.

The Writing Desk

I believe this little desk is from Whiff of Joy but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Tea for Two

The background scene is from Digidrawn, drawn especially for Magnolia minis.

Tilda's Tea Party

I've been having so much fun playing with my mini Magnolias, then Alota Rubber Stamps comes out with mini scenes for them & it starts all over again :>)  Woohoo I still get to play with my dolls.

Yoga Lady

Another digi from Phindy's Place, I love her stuff, this is from her new "Plump' Uns".  When I saw this one I thought of a good friend, me & our knees, yes, she will be getting this card.  She used to do Yoga, but is afraid if she gets down now she won't be getting back up too easily or elegantly :>)  We are both in our 60's, no one warned about our knees going with age.......LOL

Mugwhump on a Fence

This little darling is from Bildmalarna Stamps.

A Girl Dreams
