Dotty Tilda!




Hi friends! I hope you aren't snowed in like we are. We have snow on the ground and it is coming down like crazy.

I made this Tilda to enter in some challenges. I think she is called Patient Tilda and her yellow ribbon has polka dots on it and the yellow background paper has little white polka dots on it too. Hope you like her. I try to check out everyone's blogs and leave comments but sometimes life gets in the way.

I entered this in: Just Magnolia-going Dotty and Friday Sketchers #139

Thanks so much for visiting me and leaving me such nice comments.

Riley's Valentine



This valentine is for my little Great Grandaughter Riley. Riley is 7 yr old and when she was 5yr old she had open heart surgery. She told us after the surgery, "My
hearts not broke anymore". She was a good patient and we are very blessed that she is okay, running and playing just like all the other kids.

I'm entering this in: Corrosive's Challeng is to use buttons

I hope you all have a wonderful day. We have sleet and snow, 12-14 in. they say and it is all coming starting tomorrow. Thanks so much for checking out my blog and leaving me comments.

My first LOTV!




I am loving these LOTV images but for me with my arthritis, they are hard to color cause the images have tiny parts. I am sure for younger and more agile ladies they will be no problem at all. Sometimes my RA does get in my way.

Thanks everyone for checking out Donelda's and my blogs while we had our challenge. I appreciate the visits and comments. Thanks for coming by today. I'm going to church and then clean the extra bedroom tomorrow and hopefully still have some playtime in the craft room.

Donelda's challenge!



A few weeks ago Donelda ask me if I wanted to do a challenge with her. We picked an image that we both had and are each making a card in our own style I guess. This is the first time I've tried this so it should be interesting. Here is my card and here is a link to DONELDA's card. I've always admired her CAS style because I am very uncomfortable with it and can't achieve the look without wanting to fix it. Her's are always just perfect.

My Daughter In Law!

I don't have a card ready to post today so I thought I would tell you a little about my Daughter in law, DEBRA. She is back into making cards after a break of several years. She bought herself a few copic markers and watched the you tube videos. I think she does a great job. I've linked her blog to mine and hope you will have a look at her new blog and leave her some love.

Fun on Saturday!!

I wanted to let you know about a little fun you can find here on Saturday. My blogging friend DONELDA and I decided it would be fun to make cards using the same image. I've never done this before and it will be fun to see what we come up with, if our creations are about the same or very different. Please make sure to stop back by on Saturday to see what we come up with.

Thanks Janet!



I received this stamp from a friend in a secret exchange on WishRAK. I've loved it since I first saw it in the Magnolia-licious store. For some reason I didn't order it and I am glad I didn't since it was such a welcome gift. Thank you Janet.

I am thinking I might enter this in a challenge, not sure yet. I used Magnolia paper and Wild Orchid Craft flowers on it and ribbon from my stash.
