Happy 2017 Tilda

Hello my friends, hope you are enjoying the holiday season with family and friends.  I am still trying to recover from Christmas, it came and went.  Wow, where has this year gone?  We are a couple of days away from 2017, crazy how time is flying by.  Today I want to share a desk calendar using Happy 2017 Tilda.  She was released a month or so ago and I love her.  She is ready to celebrate 2017 for sure. I used my copic markers to color this cutie up.  I masked her off to add the fireworks background stamp from My Creative Time.   I added designer papers from Carta Bella Amour collection which is one of my favorite collections.  She is holding a glass of champagne or sparking cider, so I added the glass from magnolia's advent calendar.  The heart border and Fabulous die are from La La Land Crafts which I thought would be perfect for this desk calendar.

Halloween Treat Bag

Hello my friends, Happy Monday.  I don't know about you but I feel like this weekend flew by so fast.  I need another day just to relax and watch some TV.  I have a halloween project share for you today using a Greeting Farm stamp.  This cute stamp is from the spooky kit which is retired.  My inspiration for this project came from a you tube video which you can find here.  This idea is perfect for trick or treaters or even for an halloween party.  I don't get trick or treaters in my area but I am going to take these treat bags to the office so my co-workers can enjoy.  For this project,  I used a Tim Holtz tag and bag die to create the base. I also used the La La Land Crafts cobbweb die and backed it behind the rosette I created to give this project some additional dimension. I added some ribbon I had in my stash to the tag.   I stamped my image on x-press it blend card stock using MFT hybrid black ink.  I colored her up using my copics and added her to the rosette.  The sentiment Have a wicked Halloween is from my creative time stamp set.   I love the way this project turned out and I hope my co-workers will love it too.  That's all for now, thanks for stopping by.  Have a Fabulous Monday!!!
