Love this new paper by My Minds Eye…just perfect for this Tilda with a Tag…course the love affair with tags started years ago, oh yes, and that includes brown ink too! hehe Lots of “love” going on!  I stamped Tilda with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored her with my copic sketch markers.  I will list them.   E000, 00, 01, 02, 07, 50   R000, 00, 01, 02, 05, 08, 17  YR21, 24, 31  Y21, 23, 28

My card base – 5.5 in. square, is Bazzill textured card-stock,  scored with my scor-it board.  7Kids has an amazing price on these right now….pink even!  Expected to ship this month.

Do you LOVE the sentiment stamps I used?  I DO!  Printworks Collection has more sentiment stamps than any company I know!  Very fun and unusual ones too!  I listed the links to them below…

This Martha Stewart border punch, scallop dot edge,  sure mimicked the pattern paper well I thought. Pulled out a Spellbinders border to try too!  Spellbinders Square nestabilities on the inside…. I like to use Versafine Onyx black ink for stamping the sentiment stamps…love how it stamps!  I made this little green banner for the front and then decided it didn’t really work with Tilda,  finished the inside of the card and then decided I could stick it here just to show you what a fun stamp it is! lol

Tomorrow is my first card for La La Land Crafts.  It’s blog hop day for the new release!  Hope to see you then…there will be a new stamp looking for a new home!!!!

I LOVE my scor-it tool and I use it ALL the time! I really, really do! I was just at 7 Kids checking out the SUPER DEAL for today and this is what I found! Scor-it preorders, expected to ship this month, but look at this price!!! unbelievable!!! less than half what they were when I purchased mine!
Don’t miss this if you don’t already own one! YES, it is the BIG one too! Run order so you don’t forget! lol I am always getting sidetracked and forgetting! lol  I just couldn’t let you miss out on this!!!  I keep mine leaning against my trash can right where I can reach and I score on my lap!!!  yep,  can’t stamp without it!

Merry Mistletoe and more…

I hope I’m not the only one finishing up Christmas “plans”! lol This is a Vintage Santa ATC for a swap that was supposed to be with the Vintage Photo Image ATC yahoo group but I didn’t get it done in time! *sigh* I had to go ahead and make it though because I liked the image so well.
I used an old PSX “K” size stamp for the background…stamped in Versafine onyx black ink and a little green color pencil added to the leaves. I colored  3 mm white brads from CTMH with my copic sketch marker E51 and used them for the mistletoe berries.  The pattern paper is from K & Company.  German Scrap that I cut apart.  Hero Arts and Inkadinkado postage type stamps. Distressed edges with Ranger Distress Ink.

I’m delighted to be on the 7 Kids College Fund online store’s Design Team for the next six months…read about it here.

And for more coloring fun,  I’ll be one of the guest designers for January and February for LaLa Land Crafts.

This should keep me busy and not thinking about how cold it is!  It’s up to 1˚ here today!  BRRRRR

Merry Winter and all the best to you and yours in this New Year!
