Hi everyone! Tomorrow is the last day Tim and I have two of our grandchildren. We head to the airport to meet their Mom, Dad, new brother and new sister (from Bulgaria) tomorrow evening!!! oh wow! All I can say is…it’s a challenge to stamp with children in the house! lol Anyone that stamps with children in the house has my total admiration! ok – so that definitely gives away my age! lol
Gingerbread Tilda is part of the new ♥ Merry Little Christmas ♥ release from Magnolia. She is stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic Sketch markers.
I used labels 14 for the holly, heart, pine embellishment and my new Waltzingmouse Labels 14 stamp set. The papers are October Afternoon, Very Merry set, from last year. The gingerbread border is a Martha Stewart punch. The snowflakes and holly are an EK Success punch The holly border is an Anna Griffin paper ribbon from M’s. Cherry Cobbler and Chocolate Chip cardstock from Stampin Up. The circles are cut with Nestabilities Circle and Scallop circle dies.
I guess my time is up… I hear yelling! lol It will be so quiet here Friday….I will miss the kids terribly but I bet I’ll sleep until 10 a.m. on Friday! lol
EDA: forgot to post that this was supposed to be my Sweet Stop Sketch card for last Saturday! eek! A lot late! Here’s the sketch…

Stamping and creating with little kids around is really a challenge by itself.

I love this. Now I need the stamp! Your coloring, as always, is gorgeous. And I like the layout. Thanks for sharing!
How do I and where do I get the Magnolia Ink Magazine?
I live in the USA in the state of UTAH.
Hey, it’s snowing in here!! Nice!!
And gorgeous card!!!
Ok, you converted me. I was never impressed with this stamp. You have gone and made her AWESOME!!! Now I will have to make her up. I have my first Christmas card to the point of gluing together! So I really detest the blogs that have how many days left before Christmas. Every time I see it I have to scrape myself off the ceiling after screaming , NO!!!!! I have narrowed the cards down to 4 people. LOL
A gorgeous card Pam and this Tilda is so cute! I love your colouring and the papers and design, they’re perfect with her, I just love how you put your cards together, every element is made for the next! Well it sounds like you’ve had a busy time with the grandkids and my goodness, new babies from Bulgaria on the way, how exciting, good luck to you all and have a nice lie in on Friday :). Hugs, Chris
Hello Pam, I am not crazy about this Tilda as I am with all the other ones… But your very lovey card makes me like a little more, I might just get inspired and ink her! I love the little tag on her side, so cute! and this paper combo is winner! Your coloring is always beautiful, and this Tilda is no exception.
Hugs.

Merry Christmas to you having 2 new grandchildren! What a wonderful holiday you will have! I know what you mean about little ones – there was a 2 yr. old at my house over Thanksgiving and he kept me on my toes. It was fun tho! BTW – your card is super cute – love the richness you always achieve.
Absolutely adorable, Pam!
this is so sweet, Pam! love love your fab coloring on her!
Just adorable!
Pam, this card is absolutely gorgeous! You have just given my mojo a kick start for creating. I have not been able to stamp for the last few weeks due to health reasons, but I am starting to feel somewhat better. Now, do I clean the house and get ready for Xmas, or stamp! Tough choice!
