Happy New Year!

It is 2011 and I hope it will be the best year ever for everyone!

I am starting off with my first card of the New Year.  She is the adorable Magnolia Stamp, Tilda With Cherries.  I used the beautiful apple green crepe ribbon availabe at our store http://www.shop.scrapologyaz.com/.  The papers I used are Bazzil cardstock and the new Valentine paper from Doodlebug Design.  Spellbinders were used for the mat and the stamped image.  I used Bazzil Diamond Bling for the base of the card. 

After I die cut out the stamped image I left the die around the white card stock.   I made a cutter file of the image on my Klic N Kut and then applied it to the top of the colored image as a mask. I then used my airbrush compressor and my Copic Sketch RV02 to airbush in the background.  I have made the Cutter files for all the stamps in our store and I have them for your use for every stamp you purchase from http://www.shop.scrapologyaz.com/.  Here are some pictures to show the process of using a mask.

I stamped the image on Xpress Blender card and used Copic Sketch markers to color in the image.  The receipe is: 

RV 0000,02,04,06,10, R 20,46  E000,00,01,02  N1,3,5  E33,37,99, Y32

Magnolia Pink Green and Blue Challenge

This is the card I made for the Pink Green and Blue Challenge at  http://magnolia-liciouschallengeblog.blogspot.com/.  I bought a silver snowflake at the Dollar Store, 10 in a box for a dollar, what a deal!  Using my Copic airbrush compressor and Copic Sketch RV06 I changed the color of the snowflake to pink.  It turned out great!  I used crepe ribbon from our store http://www.shop.scrapologyaz.com/.  The Magnolia stamp is called "All Wrapped Up Tilda".  This is one of my favortie Tilda Stamps.

So here is my Copic marker recipe
Hair: E29, E17, E13 and Y32
Skin:  E21, E00, E000 and the cheek bluse is R83  
The Blues I used are:  B02, B01, B0000
and the Pinks are:  RV06, RV04, RV02 and RV0000. And I just had to add a bit more bling so I decorated the pink bow with Pink Stickles. 

This is probably the last card I will be making before Christmas so....Merry Christmas to all of you and Blessings on your family for a Wonderful Christmas.  I hope you all get Copics and Maggies in your stockings!

Cookie Boxes with Tilda

I am working on Cookie Boxes as gifts for my neighbors this year.  Here is one that I have finished.  The Tilda is a Magnolia Stamp (you can find it in my store at http://www.shop.scrapologyaz.com/) called Tilda with gifts.

I colored the Tilda with Copic markers.  If you love the idea of a Copic Marker Club where you do not have to out lay a lot of money at one time check out the store blog at http://www.scrapologyaz.com/ and you can read what we have to offer starting in January, but sign ups are already beginning and will end December 15,2010..

I think they are going to make sweet gifts once filled with homemade cookies don't you?  Oh I should have posted that I cut the cookie boxes with my Klic N Kut and this is a pattern that was traced from a Martha Stewart Cookie box about three years ago.




I took pictures of the copics I used to color this image it is easier for me so consider this the "cheater" recipe

Tulle Tilda Christmas Card

I made my first Christmas card this year.  I am actually making it to post to my store's blog in December but decided to sneak peak it here.

I used a Magnolia stamp #210 Tulle Skirt Tilda.  I placed her on a Spellbindercircle and popped it all up on pop dots.  I used a Spellbinder snow flake and an American craft jewel brad.  I colored Tilda withcopics and used Stickles to add bling.  The cardstock I choose is Bazzil Bling Diamond and it is embossed with a Cuttlebug folder.  Glass glitter is used to add some sparkle and the font for "dreaming of a white Christmas" is called Kingsthings.

New Cards with Magnolia Tilda Stamps

These are the first Tilda Stamps I have used and I love them.  It is so much fun to color and blend them.  I used Momento Ink, and the Xpress Blending Card. 

The Fall Card is made with the Bon Voyage Tilda and the Sign post and Suitcase that goes with that theme. I used Copic markers to color with.  I also used the colorless blender solution on a piece of denim fabric to make her jeans look more "worn."  I was not going to post either of these cards so I did not save the "receipe, but I decided it was time to jump out of my box and post.

The second Tilda card is made with Jam Tilda.  I loved the card that Tina made with the green skin tone so I wanted to try it on this Stair Step card.  I think she turned out adorable.  It is so much fun to take a Summer stamp and turn it into a totally different Season.

I use a Kilc N Kut cutter so I made cutter files of both the stamps, then stamped both stamps on the cut pieces (this saves me hand cutting) .  I cut the pumpkin, fence and trees on my cutter and a friend gave me the spiders.  I think the large spider she cut on the Cricut and the small ones were purchased. For the green skin I used Copic YG07, YG06, YG03, YG0000.    I also used black and orage Stickles to bling it up a bit.  Let me know what you think.

New Prima Products

I have been challenged by my friend, to actually cut (gasp) paper and do a 3D layout. Wow this has been a challenge. I finally did it....even though it took me a week to arrange and rearrange and be happy with the results. Oh...did I say I had limited products to work with....Aren't they pretty? This is from the new Prima Fall line. I am loving the shabby look.

Digi Time Again

 ....................

I have time on my hands and I am getting bored.  What a great time to catch up Chloe's Albums.  I have a few more layouts to do for 2000 then that year is complete.    I am not that far behind as I have been scrapping here and there every year.  I might get all caught up this week if I work really hard, through 2007.
