Christmas

So :-) aaaaallll done :-) my DT work is sent to Magnolia and i must say while i was working with this new line i totally fell in love with them. I can not wait to see how the entire collection will look like. I defenetly need the big ornament to sit Tilda on and and and :-)
Here is a group shot of some of the cards i crated for Magnolia using most of the supplies i recieved in my DT package. Additional supplies are from K&Company, Stampin up, Making Memories, and other. Coloring on all cards is done with Stampin up re-inkers.

Before i forget.. under the smaller card, you see a decorated envelope. It is a hudge gift box stamp - also available in the new collection

God Jul II

Hello all :-)
thank you so much for all your comments the last week and a half. My surgery was successful but the recovery is slower than expected because while they had me open the doctor found something else and he fixed that in the same surgery. Iam glad - cause otherwise i would have needed to go back in soon again. My in laws are still here helping me with my children and the house. Iam so lucky cause my little one got a bad fever 40c or 101f - we took him to the doctor and it seams that he got a virus - i assume something he touched while i was in the hospital.
Tonight my hubby will disconnect the computer cause they work on something in the house.

My posting for today shows a part of my DT work i had to sent in to Magnolia. The card is the same size as the one from yesterday. You can tell.. there was not much space to work with. After i cut the piece of Magnolia's DP - i simply could not resist :-) i used the Tilda with the backing roll :-) Doesn't she work nice for the holidays too? In my family Christmas backing is part of a tradition for many years. I will soon start that and decorate my clear plastic bags with her. The little red envelope Magnolia sent was simply stamped with a snowflake stamp my package included and decorated with embellies i also got.

It's a party

Today i would love to show you one of my "projects" that i recieved from Magnolia to be finished. I recieved this little box and a handbag to alter. Must say ... i stared first with the handbag because it was the most scary thing :-) aaanyhow... :-) First i started with the little box, i thought about Chocolate (think often about Chocolate :-) cause it would look nice as a party favor box to add beside the plates for the guests. From the small business card i had in my DT package, i made the matching name cards. Stamps: Tilda on name card (Christmas 2008 Collection)

Party favor box: Stamp: ornament (Christmas 2008 Collection)

Other: Stampin up Prints DP, Hodgepodge and ribbons

Thank you for your comments... maybe you have read it earlier this week that i had surgery? I will be happy to read your comments once iam back.

To You From Me

Here is my next card made for Magnolia. This time we got 2 heart shaped cards we had to use. I moved all my papers around and had this idea with a tri-folded card. I wanted to show on my card that the new images in this collection do also look so cute for other occasions than just Christmas. I have tried to show with a few more pictures than usually how the card opens.

In the center of the flower is a big Jumbo Eyelet so the ribbon can be easily threaded trough for closing. On top of that i added a clear button (Doodlebug) pretty much just for decoration and because it looks more "finished" with a bigger center inside the flower.

I think this side gives a pretty good view how the card opens. The other half of the heart is glued on the back of the 6x6 card.
