Guess What?

   Guess What?  Did you guess that we had snow again, if you did then you are right!  But, luckily it was only a dusting and pretty much has all disappeared.   Of course, the worst part when right before I had to head out to my nail appointment, but once I had the car running, it was easy to sweep of the snow and the roads were just wet and everything went well.

   I came back and headed up to my craft room to work on a card for this week's Challenge at the Magnolia Stamp Lovers Blog.   This is one of my favorite groups and also a new group and I've made a card for each of the challenges and really enjoyed it.  This week's challenge is "Buttons or Bows or Both" and the cards the DT members made are all gorgeous.  If you want to see some for inspiration or want to take part in the challenge, Click HERE!

  Once I picked out my Tilda Stamp I decided that I was going to try to do this in some pretty teal and mint green colors, especially since I have been making tons of Purple and Pink cards for Valentines, LOL!  This stamp is Jam Tilda and she is one of my newest and also has quickly become one of my favorites.  I love her little outfit and her long braided hair.  I picked out some matching papers and then colored Tilda with my Copics.  I then used a Spellbinder Scalloped Oval die to cut her out and adhered her to two more scallops in light teal.  I embossed the bottom scallop with one of the new embossing folders from my new "Asian" theme Cuttlebug Set.  I found three pretty lavender buttons and made a matching bow with my Bow-easy. I put it all together and this is my card -- I just LOVE Tilda...

 

   Today, has been a really nice day for me.....a nice relaxing nail appointment, then I cam home to find a big package of goodies from Stamping Scrapping, full of all kinds of great new things.  One thing that came today are my very first "Bildy" Stamps, which I am very excited to have.  I'm a huge stamp fan and recently have been admiring this line, which like Magnolia are from Sweden.

    I'm off now to stamp my new "Bildy" images and start coloring them and the deciding which I want to use for my first card. I am hoping that I will be able to get a card completed in time to submit to the first challenge "Color Me Happy".   If you already have your first Bildmalarna stamps and want to take part in the challenge, hop on over to the Bildy Blog and you'll find all the details for their new challenge.  The first challenge ends tomorrow, but you still have time, if you start today!!

     Happy Crafting!!
