My Magnolia Church

What a wonderful Monday I've had today! My girls woke me up with birthday hugs and kisses and lots of handmade cards and handmade stories and pictures for me. Nothing beats a handmade present from the heart! Who needs diamonds!? Not me! :o) We celebrated at my favorite "fast food" place Panera Bread for dinner, YUM-O! Thank you to my hubby and daughters for making my day special.

Well, today I wanted to share with you my Magnolia church that I made. I used my Cricut and Winter Wonderland cartridge again for this project. I used 2 Magnolia images for either side of my church and they can both be found here at my favorite Magnolia store. I have lots of pictures to show you.

Here is the left side of the church:


The right side:


The front:


The back:


Here is a closeup of one image:


And here's the other:


Here's a closeup of the steeple:




I used K & Co. and SU papers, prima flowers, stickles, pearls, ranger inks, and copics to color my images. I'm not sure if I will make this a table top decoration or another ornament for my tree. I just didn't have the heart to stick a hole at the top of this one for a hook. So do you like it? Please leave a comment, I love to read them! Hugs and Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

Another Inky Impressions ornament

I've made another ornament using my Cricut machine with the Winter Woodland cartridge and another Inky Impressions stamp. Thanks to everyone who visited my blog and commented on my last ornament. Your kind comments made my day even brighter!! :o)

So here's a picture of my gingerbread house or candy house and my little Elf Angelica from Inky Impressions.



Here is a view of the right side of the gingerbread house.


And here's the left side.


And here's the back of the house.


I outlined the windows, the roof, and some of the stickers with my scribbles dimensional paint then sprinkled on some Martha Stewart glitter. The roof trim and rickrack came from my stash.

Here is a closeup of cutie Angelica Elf. I added the Christmas hat.


I colored my image with Copic markers, papers are from Debbie Mumm, and I used some stickles all over my project.


So what do you think? My friend Pam gave me this idea awhile back and I decided now was the right time to try and make one. Thanks for visiting.

Inky Impressions Ornament Challenge

Hi there. Thanks for visiting my blog today. I can't tell you how much I appreciate your visit and comments. Today I am sharing an ornament that I made for the Inky Impressions challenge blog. I don't have any of the Christmas stamps yet so I took one of the stamps I did have and altered it to a Christmas image. I apologize for the poor pictures, I just don't seem to have a knack for taking a good picture as compared to many other blogs out there - hope you are able to see it ok. If anyone has any tips at all to share with me on how to take a decent picture of my projects for my blog, please let me know! My email is angelwoodcrafts@gmail.com.


I took this photo outside hoping the lighting would be better. I'm glad the weather cooperated today, yesterday was so cold with torential downpours, today it's very mild out. I added a Christmas hat and a gift (originally she was carrying a birthday cake).


This one's a close-up so you could see Lili a little better.


Here is a close-up of the charms at the bottom of my ornament.


And here's a closeup of the wooden snowflake that I colored pink with my copics and then covered with Diamond colored stickles and embellished with pearls. I wish you could see the sparkle on the snowflake. :o(



I cut out all the holly leaves with my new Martha Stewart paper punch and added pink jewels for the berries. I colored my Inky Impressions image with copics and used lots of stickles all over my project.

Inky Impressions is having a DT call. If you are interested, visit their challenge blog and give it a try. They do have some of the cutest images to choose from. I was going to enter but then realized, I might not be quite ready for that undertaking yet. Thanks so much for visiting and please leave a comment and let me know what you think. I had so much fun making this ornament.

Happy Sunday to you, hugz, Angela

So Sweet Tilda

"Think Snow"

Well, I'm not quite sure I'm ready for snow just yet but as long as it's a white Christmas, I'm happy. I made this card for the Magnolia-licious Yahoo Group's homepage contest. I used the new tree stamp and charm that I won for guessing the "magic word" for Diana's Magnolia store.




Here is a close up of the "think snow" charm I won. So cute!



Recipe: Stampin-up and DCWV papers, Martha Stewart snowflake punch and glitter, scribbles dimensional paint,pearls, spellbinder nestabilities, and copic markers.


So what do you think? I appreciate any comments you might have. Thanks for visiting!

Copic Creations Challenge
