Pink Dilla

We’ve been pulling out all of the Christmas and Handmade things to decorate with this week. So, I decided to share some ideas for using my Basket Ornaments in your own decorations this year. First, I wanted to share the mantle garland all strung with my handmade Basket ornaments, very vintage, reminds me of the The Night Before Christmas era. Next, is a more modern take on vintage style using Southern Living at home items as well as things from my collection. All topped off with a perfect Handmade Ornament as a place setting. Have fun hanging the garlands in your home or just setting a pretty table!

Wow, I found out today that my lovely Party Girl Paperdoll is featured on 2 of the new Chixies Paperdoll collage sheets by Art Chix Studio! It’s always fun participating in Helga’s contests and getting to swap artwork with the other talented Chix! The First sheet my butterfly girl is on is the Chixies Paper Doll Details sheet lots of interesting shapes and details. I just adore the second one Chixies Paper Doll Alphabet Sticker sheet in pretty pastels! If you want to see more of the dolls I made for the contest/swap Read my Previous Party Girl Paperdolls post.

My Cards and some Free vintage Images

Just wanted to share some cards real quick from the past month! Oy, having an infant sure does funny things with the time, somethings go bye so slowly and then everything seems to wisk by in a haze. I can’t believe that my daughter is already in a baby swing she isn’t even 5 months yet but she loves to be mobile! So now I have a little time to share my glittered Baby cards using Stampin Ups Sticky cuts letters, and my stamped and Inked card using Art Chix Chixie Bubbles collage image. You can check out my earlier glittered baby cards I’ve made HERE. And my earlier post about the Chixies Bubble artwork I did HERE. I have also been scouring the internet for FREE vintage images to use in my cards and artwork and have found some really nice sites.If you are looking to make a vintage style project you will definitely enjoy these! Please link back here and to the other sites if you use the images for your own personal use. And with my photos they belong solely to me so please leave a comment if you have any questions about any of my artwork you see on Pinkdilla.

Karen’s Whimsy has Gorgeous Prints, coloring pages, book pages and more. She is very thorough and has a wide selection of Angels which I love!
