Sewing Box

Hi friends! I'm sorry I've been MIA for a while.

Today, I want to share with you a sewing box I made to store my Gutermann threads which I use for my sewing machine and for hand stitching.

I used Tailor Tilda and colored her with Copics. The Beautiful flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and the lace and seam binding are from my stash. I got this paper mache box from Joann's Crafts.  I wrapped the box with Magnolia DP and edged the lid with lace.

I used an Oval Nestabilities and distressed it, used some cheese clothe painted with antique white acrylic paint. Some tiny wooden spools with ribbon and twine were added to finish it off.

 

Thank you for visiting my blog today!

Autumn Scene

Fall/Autumn is my favorite time of the year. The leaves turn into an array of gorgeous colors and the heat of summer dies down. My card today features Tilda with broom from the Turning Leaves Collection.

For the last 2 weeks, I have been playing with Copics and set aside my DIs for a while because of an accident...well, I spilled water on my table and I messed up some papers. Ugh!  LOL 

Anywhooo, you might have noticed Tilda's hair. This is my first time to color hair this way.  And I know I need alot more practice to get it right.  But for now, I'm good with this one. :)

Scooter Tilda

It's Hump day and I have Scooter Tilda to drive you thru the rest of the week. This image is from the Truning Leaves Collection. I colored this image with Copic Sketch Markers.  The beautiful flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and the other flower, I made from a paper doily. The DP are from different collections and I layered them up.

I also used some  DooHickeys (border, tag, fence & grass) and stitched the first 2 layers of paper.

Some Liquid Pearls were added and Glass Effects for the head light.

Thanks for dropping by!

Mushroom & Daisies

Hello again! I think by now, it's pretty obvious to you that I love the color blue! Here, I have Tilda with Mushrooms and Daisies from the Turning Leaves Collection colored in Distress Ink Reinkers and Distress Markers for the grass.  I love Tilda's hair and the daisies she has on her hand. I am working on the same image but I'm coloring it with Copics. 

I'm not quite done but I'll share it as soon as it's complete.

The lovely flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and the DP is Paper Loft.  The inside of the card has the same layout and I stamped a mini version. All the edges are stained with DI Walnut Stain and the base and second layer was sewn by machine.

I hope you like my card for today.  Thanks for dropping by!

Enjoy your day!

Turning Leaves

Hello everybody! I hope y'all are enjoying the summer or whatever is left of it! 

 I'd like to share some photos of the new Magnolia Ink Magazine Turning Leaves.  I got this in the mail two days ago, and I've been doing my happy dance since then. My cheeks are hurting from having this smile (crazy grin LOL) on my face.

This is the first time for me to have my projects published as part of the design team! (I had 1 project published when I won one of the Magnolia Ink contests.) I'm so excited about this issue and it makes me really proud to be part of the team. I still consider myself as a newbie...not only with Magnolia, but also with crafting, stamping, card making, and coloring as a whole.  It was September last year when I tried  stamping and everything just went on from there. And I'm really really thankful!

Back to the magazine...

The card on the cover is made by Debbie Dolphins.

 On pages  30-31, you will find my Autumn Fun banner.

 My Autumn Wind Shaker card  is on page 40.

Thank you so much for following me and for visiting my blog, for your lovely comments  and words of encouragements.  You have been an inspiration to me from the day I started blogging.

And again, from the bottom of my heart

THANK YOU!

Goosebump Tilda

 Happy Friday, everyone!

For today's card, I have Goosebump Tilda  from the Turning Leaves Collection. I found some blossoms that matched the DP which I decided to use and I actually like how it turned out. Last week, I sent this card out to my Aunt in California and I was glad she liked it!

Thanks for dropping by and I hope you like my card for today!


Have a great weekend!

For my project today, I made a topper for an old notebook.  I used Tilda with Pencils from the Turning Leaves Collection and colored her with Distress Inks Reinkers. I used MFT Die-namics Mini Pennant for the "subjects", distressed the edges with DI and hand written using Spica pens. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

A few weeks ago, I used this same image for an octagon flat card. I just love this Tilda!
