Easter Basket for Blaize

Hi Everyone,
I can't believe it but I finished Blaize's Easter basket. Wow this took me some major time but I think it was worth it. I have  several pictures to show you. I hope you like it. I am happy with it but I wish I would have made the handle not so wide but it is to late so it will just have to do. If you would like to make this basket you can find a tutorial over at Becca Feeken's blog here. Becca does amazing work and is very creative!
I have used Tilda with eggs in her apron and Edwin bunny which you can order from Diana's web store Magnolia-licious here. I also used my Martha Stewart butterfly punch and my Nellie Snellen flower punches.
I would love to read what you think of my basket and thank you so much for stopping by.



Here is a close up of the ribbon weaving that is on all four sides.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Hugs,
Nancy

Make a Wish Birthday Card

Hi and welcome back. I have just a quick post for today. This card that I am going to show you is going to go to a little girl that will be turning 5 years old. She is a little girly girl and I am sure she will love this card.
This Tilda is one from the new fairy tale collection. I have a link on my side bar to Diana's Magnolia-licious web store, The site is so busy I can not get in right now to get you the name of this Tilda. I colored Tilda with my copic markers and the design papers are from my scrap bin.
Thanks for stopping by today and I would love to read what you think of my card.


Hugs,
Nancy

Birthday Card For My Sis

Hi and welcome back!
Today I finished my sister's birthday card. I have finally made my first easel! Wow what have I been waiting on. I have been reading how everyone loves to make them but for some reason I just had not made one until today and I love them and will be making more.
I used a Sarah Kay stamp that I have had for quite some time but have never inked her up until now. I used my copic markers to color her with. Papers are Stampin Up, Cosmo Cricket and Basic Gray
Check out my card and then I would love to read what you think of it. Thanks so much for stopping by and for your comments. I really enjoy reading what other think of my cards.
Hugs,

Hanglar Stanglar Stamp

I was so lucky to receive a few of these adorable stamps that are not available to us in the United States from a new friend in another country for exchange for some stamped images of Tilda and Edwin. I am so happy and this is the first that I selected to color.
I made my pink flowers using coffe filters and distressed inks. I love to look at Sherry Cheevers blog and she has a video showing how to make these awesome flowers here. I used tattered rose, worn lipstick and fired brick inks. Check out Sherry's blog she makes some really cool stuff!
I would love to know what you think of my card.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
Hugs,

Grandkids Valentines


I made Valentines for all 3 of my Grand children but I did not have time to get a picture of Dakota's. My son was on his way over so I wanted to send it with him when he stopped by. But I did get a picture taken of Blaize and Izzic's cards. As you will see I kept them simple and did not add to many details.
I would love to know what you think of them.
Thanks so much.
Hugs,
Nancy
