FS # 37 & CCT # 45.....Hugs & Kisses Tilda!!!!

Oh, I had a really busy week at work...again! Sorry, I wasn't able to visit everyone's blog and leave a comment this week! Sheesh, there just isn't enough hours in a day to do all the things that I WANT to do and all the things that I HAVE to do! Such is life!

Well, the one thing that I do when I am driving around the country side, from one assignment to the next, is listen to my music on the radio and muse about card designs/ideas! I have been mulling this idea over for a few weeks now but just didn't have the right layout, until, I saw this week's FABULOUS sketch at my favourite sketch challenge blog Friday Sketchers by the uber talented, Carole!!! Please go to Carole's blog, Stardust, Gems and Ribbon and have a visit!!! Make a cuppa (cuz you will be there a while), sit and admire all her stunning cards!!! I am always soooooo inspired by Carole's cards. I just LOVE her style and she is such a sweetie too!!!!

I also made this card for Challenge # 45 this week at CCT Valentines....what a perfect challenge...I am just having a ball making all these Valentines cards!!!

So, I am not sure if you noticed or not but I'm a huge fan of Quikutz. I have a pink QK Squeeze and a ton of shape dies and alphabets too! I have filled 4 pink and black QK binders, yikes!!! I also have a Silhouette Digital Craft Cutter!!! I just {HEART} my Silhouette! I made a wee new years resolution to try and get more use from my Silhouette and my QK stuff, in general!

So, I decided to use this Tic Tac Toe game GSD file from the Sweetheart Digital Design Portfolio. I cut a separate heart for the middle of the game in Berry Blush Bazzill cardstock and the heart tag is also from the Sweetheart Portfolio. I pop-dotted the hearts and Tilda too!

I made the cardbase 6X6 from Bazzill Blackbird cardstock and used these fabulous Making Memories 6X6 papers called Sabrina that I bought at Micheals. This is one of my favourite colour combos...so much fun!!!

I stamped Tilda on Georgia Pacific paper with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and coloured her with my Copic markers! I used white acrylic paint for the highlights and added a Little Stickles here and there!!!!


I used some more of the gorgeous Grey grosgrain ribbon from American Craft and I am sadly coming to the end of my roll, *pout*!!! All the brads are MM Sabrina coordinating brads, the sentiment is from a MFT set and then I added the black Prima Fabric flowers!

So, I am really happy with how this card turned out and I'm so glad that I am using my Silhouette and getting good use out of my Sweetheart Digital Design Portfolio. It is probably one of the most versatile portfolios!

Now with all this talk of Hugs & Kisses I have a question to ask! Don't worry it's not a skill testing question, lol!!! No, I'm just wondering which is which??? Is "X" a hug and "O" a Kiss or vice versea??? What do you think? let me know!!!!

Hugs....& Kisses,
