My First Tilda Mini Calendar

Hello!

Today I have a fun project to share.  It's another mini calendar with a new-to-me stamp.  I was lucky enough to take advantage of the holiday sales over at the 7 College Kids Fund shop and picked up some cute Magnolia stamps.  As soon as I find the package I'll list her name.  {I checked the 7CKF store to link back but I only found the 1 that I don't have.  (lol)  I'll see if I can find a link somewhere else.}

This turned in to be one of those what am I going to do with these supplies kind of project?!  LOL!  I had the Polaroid picture frame, colored up the Tilda and a bunch of scraps on my table.  After much thought I came up with the calendar above.  It looks like a piece of 2x4 cut down right?!  I was trying to mimic the wood grain from the Polaroid frame.  I think I did a pretty good job.  Yay!  I had a scrap piece of MME pink gingham paper that was a pretty good size for a matte to the frame and the calendar.  I thought the sides were too plain so I used my new favorite MS border punch for a girly touch.  After that it was just a matter of finishing off the top.  Here's a close up of the colored image.

Violet Tilda

You can kind of see the sparkle around her, I went over it with my Wink of Stella clear pen.  I didn't have much to color here so adding that bright neon green background was fun.  She really stands out. 

Well it's as good a time as any to stop right here.  I'm going to sneak this one in to the current for only a few more hours, 7 College Kids Fund challenge of Anything Goes.  (hahaha)  Why not right?!  Thanks for stopping by! 

FBW #191 Photo inspiration

Morning everyone!!  Please excuse the lateness of this post!!  

Another Wednesday is here and man is February going by too fast or what?!!  Well hopefully we can slow it down with a new challenge at Flutterby Wednesday.  We hope ya'll enjoyed last week's A.W.W. (Anything with wings) challenge.   It was really fun to see what ya'll came up with.  This week we are back to normal with our angel, fairy or butterfly incorporated into this week's challenge.  I'm pretty sure it's one that you will like.  Danni asked the DT to use this beautiful photo to inspire our creative juices .

Isn't this gorgeous?!  And sooo PINK!!  hahaha.. I'm sure some of you are in ga-ga heaven that it's so pink, but there are other colors and inspiration here, right?!  lol..   Be sure to check out my fellow awesome teammates inspirations by using the side bar on the left under the Flutterby Team banner, or you can head on over to the Flutterby Wednesday blog and link from there. 

Here is what I came up with using a few of the newest C.C. Design images and a new AmyR sentiment that I got via All That Scraps.  These can all be found here in the February 2012 release.  The first of the images is Swiss Pixie Lucy, she's sitting on top of a Swiss Pixie Woodland daisy.  The sentiment is from the Be Happy sentiment set.

Pretty CAS, leaving the images as the main focus of the card.  I used a MS flower border punch to add on the opening.  Also used a MS butterfly punch (with kraft cs (Recollections)).  The dp is part of an old G.C.D. Studio paper pad collection called Rose Colored Glasses.  I used a white pencil to outline the butterfly.  I substituted a sunflower for the original acorn that is in her hair.  Colored this with Copics.

Alrighty, I hope you like what I came up with and it inspires you as much and the photo.  Now it's your turn to create.  Please use the photo inspiration above, plus an angel, fairy or butterfly on your card for this week's challenge and link up with us here.   Lookin' foward to your projects this week.  Have fun with it!!

Mahalo for stopping by!!  Enjoy the rest of your week!

Before I forget, please use the Panda Express coupon located on the top left of my side bar today for a free serving of our newest shrimp dish, Peppercorn Shrimp.  It's pretty good and a wok smart item.
