Waiting Tilda - Love U

Hi there,

thank you for stopping by today.

I wanna show you a Magnolia card that I created for the Friday Sketchers challenge. I got this Tilda from one of my stamping buddies from SCS.

We are doing a special swap/ challenge. The host of the month stamps 3-4 images and sends them out to the participants. Each of the ladies creates a card using the image and post it on her blog. It is so fun to see all the different cards made with the same image.. I love the paper Tilda was stamped on - so sparkly!!!! can you see it the picture in the right? It' even sparklier in reality :)

Thank you Linda for this one!!

Hugs Tanja

Ride your bike

Good morning!

I wanted to play with the color dare challenge but I had a really hard time coming up with something that matches their colors ... brocade blue, old olive, chocolate chip and pumpkin pie.

So I pulled out this cutie Edwin and colored him with my watercolor pencils to match the challenge.

What do you think?

I had this piece of scrap laying on my desk and was thrilled that it matches so perfectly - I just have no clue where it is from ....

Everything else is self-explaining and from SU.

I have to hurry - boys are getting busy ;-)

Have a great start in the new week

Hugs Tanja

Another Tilda card

Good morning ladies,

I hope, you all had a terrific weekend? The weather here in AL was wonderful fall-ish. Cold and crisp air - we missed it since April :-).

I have another Magnolia to show you today. I'm not sure when I got this little angel but this weekend was the frist time I inked her up (wow, I said that pretty often lately...). I wanted to participate in the Peachy Keen challenge and for this I had to use brown and pink, some ribbon ... and I cannot remember the other thing .... Coloring her was easy - with my watercolor pencils, Aquapainter and some ink pads. But everyting else didn't want to come together.

My intention was to let her sit in the middle of this huge flower and "fishing" for some love - but I think she is more an angel in heaven sending some love to her loved ones on earth. And before it makes me more teary I decided to send it to a wonderful friend I found over at SCS - her mother passed away last year and with the holidays coming up maybe this card will let her think about her mother sitting in heaven and sending bunches of love while watching over her.

Darn, we are getting sentimental here, huh?

Thank you for stopping by today - I wish you all a wonderful Monday and a short week!

Take care my friends and give your loved ones a special hug today

Hugs to you Tanja
