White and one other color!!





This is for Just Magnolia (white and one other color!) So I used gold! Thought those two were so pretty together! So I made a candle card, in the close up I think you can see the light from the little candle inside!! I layered and distressed all the papers colored Tilda with distress inks, and added snow tex to her wings! Hope you like it, and thanks so much for stoppin'by and takin'a peek.....oh this is also for Paper Sundaes(celebrate). Teresa*

Hanging Angel Tildas............






Okay.......these are most definately hanging "Angels"! I used my fav Christmas stamp Tildas, added handmade angel wings to them with pretty see through ribbon hangers! I love how they look!! This is for TOMIC (decoration). I made the wings using shipping cardboard, then painted white, then added my snow-tex to finish them!! All Tilda's are painted with distress inks. They were FUN and easy, and look sooooo cute on the tree! Thanks for stoppin' by and takin'a peek at my angels! Teresa*

My Tilda Angel Tag........





I don't do tags very often, but Dutch Magnolia Lovers have a Christmas tag challenge going on, and Just Magnolia is white-snow-snowflakes- so this is what I came up with!! I wanted to do something a little different, so I used whites and soft colors. I made the Angel wings for Tilda from scratch (used my snow tex to cover them), layered my punched and distressed snowflakes. I painted that branch white(was brown),also added some white lace. Oh, there's some pretty little white Pearls in there too!! This was fun to make, and I'm really tickled with the results! I hope you like it too! Thanks for stoppin' by and takin'a peek! Teresa*

Fancy Christmas....







This is for several challenges- Magnolia Down Under(lost & found-I found my fancy pants Xmas acrylic), Hanna & Friends(wintercard),Simply Magnolia(Christmas),
Magnolia Mania(oh Christmas tree), Magnolia Cards Challenge. I have looked and looked for my 12x12 piece of decorated acrylic from Fancy Pants, and finally found it! I decided to use it on cards instead of a lo, will get more use out of it that way! So here's the result! I layered and distressed all the papers(I even managed to cut the top paper where the "wishing you a Merry Christmas" is in the top right of card!), colored Tilda and tree with distress inks, made the distressed punched snowflakes with the cute little buttons in centers! I sure hope you like it, I really like the "window" effect of the acrylic! Thanks so much for stoppin' by and takin';a peek! Teresa*

It's another Blue Christmas...





This is for several challenges- Waltzingmouse Sketch, Paper Sundaes(anything Christmas), Dream Valley (Christmas), Delightful Sketches(blue Christmas). Was a fun little card to make! Loved the sketch, and the color blue is always fun and pretty! I layered and distressed all the papers, made the distressed punched snowflakes, and I colored my gifts with distress inks! I even added a couple rub-ons I found in my stash! Thanks so much for takin' a peek! Teresa*

Believe In The Magic.....







This is for Once Upon A Sketch (The thing I look most forward to in December). I loved the sketch, had much fun working with it! The title is a tag tucked up under Dorothy's pic!! I have a tag with journaling tucked up under my hand crotched flower which reads: "The thing I look most forward to in December...Christmas and spending time with my kids-getting to decorate the house and Dorothy! But spending days with my kids - the BEST!!!" The song on my blog says it all.......I layered and distressed a couple papers, I made the heart and crotched flower,also the folded flower at top of lo. I added some distressed snowflakes, and a couple pictures of "DECORATED" Dorothy! I hope you like my lo, thanks so much for stoppin' and takin' a peek! Teresa*

White Christmas....





This is for Totally Tilda (white on white), and oh my goodness, that was a challenge!! It was so hard not to shadow things......I had to stop myself several times! But, I stuck to the challenge only did her flesh and hair, didn't even add any pink to her cheeks!! This is another candle card, so it's really pretty when it's lit....the white just pops!! I distressed all the papers, and there again "almost" inked them!! This is also for Deep Ocean Challenge(anything goes), Crafts & Me Challenge(snow/snowflakes).Thanks for stoppin' by and takin'a peek! Teresa*

My first candle card.......






This is for Just Magnolia(anything goes with sparkle option). This is my first candle card!! It was fun and easy to make! I took quite a few close ups so hopefully you can see the "fake" candle light inside the card! This has some Prima floral with some sparkly butterflys on it!! Also did stitching all around! I colored Tilda with distress inks distressed all the paper! This is also for
Crazy Challenge(anything goes), Paper Sundae(Sundae Bar- stitching, red, die cuts)
Thanks for takin'a peek! Teresa*

Wreath of Rolled Roses for Xmas......




I started "rolling" the roses for this wreath a couple weeks ago.....my plan was to make a "full" sized wreath, but it was taking way too long! Then when I looked to see what the new challenge was at Magnolia Down Under, and I saw Debbie's gorgeous wreath.....I changed my mind and decided to make just a small one!!(By the way......instead of using my patterned papers for roses, I used one of my scrapbook magazines...I like how the roses turned out even with the thin paper out of mag!!) I had just enough roses too! So here's my decoration for the challenge! This is also for The City Crafter Challenge(home for the holidays). It's small enough to even hang on tree if you wanted to!! Thanks for the help finishing this rose wreath Debbie!! Thanks for takin'a peek1 Teresa*
