Calendar Swap?


Okay, so I joined in on a Calendar Swap! So unlike me, hate being put "under pressure"!!! LOL So far its going really good, always does the first part, second part gets scarry! Other things get in the way! But...not this time. I'm working on these till done! And I have to say, they are fun! I didn't know if I was going to like making 4 of the same thing, but its not bad! I do one thing, 4x's! Then go to the next 4 things! These calendars are for Magnolia-icious Yahoo Group. Chris is in charge of the swaps and is doing a great job with it all. I have July, August and September for months. July I thought was very easy. Using Magnolia stamps, this is Bandaged Tilda. Isn't she to cute! This is my first calendar and only have a total of 11 to go!
Hope everyone is having a great week!

Winds of Change


This was simple and fun. Not a lot of thought went into it, well I started with something else and ended with this. I used my cuttlebug and embossed with the swirls folder. Then I used my TH distressed inks and went over the swrils with a sponge dauber. The oval is from TAC and the Sentiment is also from TAC, Autumn Swrils.
Ribbon from Michaels. Most of the Holiday ribbon I like has wire in it, I just pull the wire out and have my ribbon! Don't let the ribbon with wire stop you from buying it! Awesome ribbons out there for the Holidays!!

Sledding Tilda


I love the winter Tilda. How cute can she be! And she almost looks warm!
I colored her with my Prisma's and added Stickles to the fur. I used my Silver Sakura Gelly roll pen for the snowflakes falling. The big snowflake is from Imaginations. I picked up the great ribbon at Michaels in the Christmas ribbon isle. Less than $!! The scalloped edge is made by my SU scalloped border punch.
Fast card and very girly!!
I just posted and checked it out on my blog, and the camera is working BAD! This card is much more colorful than the blah way it looks on here! LOL
I'll have to have my hubby teach me!
Thanks for looking!!

Let's Dance


This stamp is a long story!! There is a site out there called Dottie's World. They are computer DL's of stamps. And they are CUTE! I have been to that blog about 2x's a week to see if they have changed it to selling to the US. But nope, still just in the UK!! I have been stalking that site for tooooo long! So I am lucky to have a wonderful friend in London (love that word!! ;)), Katz who surprised me and bought this set for me! Of course I had to have this one, due to hubby in a band. Not that he looks like Elvis, but can't beat the music of the 50's and 60's! I was so excited!! While she was in Spain on Holiday, I told her I would get a card done! Well this is it! I had so much fun coloring this stamp!! Can't wait to try my other ones!
Thanks for stopping by!!

The Dark Card!


I found this card to be really dark. I find a lot of comfort cozy in the dark, more relaxing. So this card might be a little to dark. I had to take it outside to get a decent picture of it! This is my 15lb. card! LOL
The image of course is a Tilda sitting, check out those glasses! I colored her with my Prisma's and googone. All paper is by TAC called Willoughby. Love those colors and how they go together! I had those fancy "paperclips" from CTMH. They were a gift to me. I used my Coluzzle to cut out the oblong piece, ribbon-stash! Flowers Prima's. The little tag up in the corner is also from TAC and I took wire and attached it to the brads. SU punch to punch out the corners. For some reason it took me forever to put this card together. I knew what I wanted but I could never find it!
Thanks for stopping by....Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Bling Birthday!


Well here it is, the bling card. Her theme colors will be pink and brown so gramma made a card with pink and brown. The image is a Magnolia, Balloon Tilda. I end up cutting the balloon off and making my own version. The dc is by Doodlebug. I've had this paper for along time, knew I bought it for a reason! used my fiskars border punch on the middle scallop and SU corner punch for the corners. My nesties for the ovals and Prima's are the flowers. The "1" and the "balloon" I can't remember who they are by, but I do know they came in my August kit from Wish on a Scrap. Ribbon...stash! This card is a lot like the one I made for my other granddaughter on her 7th birthday, but yet, totally different. Well thats it!
Hope you enjoyed your stay here at IttyBittyInkSpots!
Hope everyone has a great weekend!

1st Birthday


Well we have a first birthday in the family next week! What a milestone! Walking and babbling and enjoying all the new goodies yet to discover.
This is the first card I made for Reese. Was not happy with it, needed "more". I love the image! The stamp is by Penny Black and he is so cute! Being Reese's first birthday the card needed more bling. So this one will go into a pile for when we have a birthday for a one year coming up! And I know a few!
I will upload the card I made this morning, the one with the "bling"!!
Thanks for stopping by!

Christmas


Well almost "Tis the Season". I was just playing when I made this card. I started with the Tilda and colored her red and green. When I realized she had a sleeveless top on I didn't think I would finish her up for a Christmas card. But then when I thought of my friend who lives in AZ, figured it would be a perfect card for her!
I used everything from my stash. Used my fiskars punch and the Merry Christmas is a die from Sizzix. Ribbon in my stash and she was colored with my prisma's.
I love the colors, tis the season!

AHanlglar&Stranglar


Well finally a card. This is spose to be good therapy, creating! So I'm trying to get in the swing of things again, after loosing my mojo for awhile!
These are my newest addiction, the HanglarStranglar stamps! I just think they are so cute. A friend of mine sent me a few images. You cannot buy these in the US and I sure wish you could. My ds paper is from TAC called Willoughby. I know I am NEVER going to run out of this. When things look low, I will get more! It is gorgeous paper! Nice heavy feel to it and they go together so nice! I used two of my Fiskar border punches. Threaded my ribbon through and tied my bow. Flowers are from my stash and are Prima's. And last but not least....I USED MY COPICS to color her! Every thing is colored with copics! I'm so proud! My colors are very limited and I don't see my collection growing in the near future, so its a good thing I have a few of the fall colors!
Thanks for stopping by!
