Mini Tilda bird house advent

It is time for our next MDUC challenge!! Yayayayay!

This week we are looking for Christmas Decorations. Yup. Perfect timing isn't it?

I wanted to make a mini birdhouse ornament ... well... the plan is to make 24 of them to use as an advent calendar,but so far I just have one completed and the rest trimmed and scored ready to assemble :o).

The yummy papers are by The Scrap Cake and are called Cosy Xmas. I couldnt find them anywhere in Aus so ended up buying them from the US.

The sentiment is by Stampendous and is one of their nifty clings.

 And a third mini Tilda to finish off the little bird house.

I had fun making the birdhouse and thought I'd share the template I made (just right click and open it in a new window).

 I just used the smallest Scalloped Rectangle nestie to cut out the little window. I saved the piece that was cut out though to use behind the number.

And just a couple of cute pics to share to finish off... in a house full of boys, you find red sports cars everywhere!

And it just wouldn't be Christmas without Bob the Builder in the back of a Ford F150 now would it?

Ahh... gotta love them :o) Its the kids that make a house a home. When I find these little boy touches around the house I can't help but grin like a crazy person.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Mini Tilda with Blueberries

Hi there! Hope you are all well today :)  I have another mini to show you, lol. This is Blueberry Tilda and she's on a mini pizza box. My friend Kellie has been making these cute boxes recently and I felt I needed a bit of a change from cards so the mini pizza box was the perfect size for this little cutie.

The sketch is from Just Magnolia and hAnglar stAnglar challenges. I received these beautiful Magnolia papers from my gorgeous friend Tanja for Christmas - perfect for mini Tilda with Blueberries.

I've used Magnolias Doo Hickey dies "Lovely Fence", "Berry Lace" and "Leaves" and Nestabilities Classic Circles and Lacey Circles. All layers are distressed and stitched.  I am also entering her over at Stamp with Fun for their Blue and Brown challenge.

And finally, a side view. I died the seam binding with my copics and some hand sanitiser. It is really fast and such a great way to get the colour perfectly matched to your image.
