Obsession

At last, I've had the biggest headache with this blooming blogger not letting me upload pictures, and after installing Google Chrome before I went out to work I've rushed home and it's now letting me, yay!!!

I've been working these stupid split shifts the past couple of days, I go in 9am-12.30 and then I'm back in 5pm-9pm. When I got home yesterday lunchtime there was my grey plastic packet from Magnolia, I ripped it open and decided that Tilda with a Gift For You would be the first image I coloured, as I was stamping it the postman knocked with the most amazing DT kit from Sandy at Live and Love Crafts. I was so excited, I coloured Tilda in with my Distress inks both the markers and the limited edition pad, and then I had to pick the kids up and take them to McDonald's, an overdue and 3 times postponed treat. All evening at work all I could think about was getting my card done, this is partly where the post title comes in. Anyway, less gassing, here's my card.

Part of my pack was these absolutely stunning papers from Riddersholm Chantilly Dawn collection, this is the first time I've seen these papers, and they are stunning. If you like Pion and Maja Design you will love these. I found it hard putting my card together as I didn't want to cover it up, it was hard enough cutting into it I couldn't bring myself to distress the edges too, lol. Anyway, back to the title, I woke up at stupid o'clock this morning and after an hour of deciding if there was anymore sleep in me I got up, had a quick cuppa and then went into the attic to make this card. It was actually photographed before anyone else in the house got up, when I showed hubby that's when the 'Obsessed'comes in. That is what he said to me, you're obsessed, if you're not colouring you're looking at cards, or buying more stuff, lol. I edited my pictures, and when I was trying to put my badge on my challenge success page as I came in the top 3 at Deep Ocean Challenges, again, (yay!!) blogger wouldn't upload my card. I googled problems, installed Google Chrome, and then ran out of time for my post. The time has dragged this morning waiting to see if I'd fixed the problem, and go me, lol.

The flowers are all from Kort and Godt, the Roses with Glass pearls are available here. I've also used an absolutely stunning beaded center from Maya Road, Vintage Scallop Lace Trim, a Dress Clip and Pearl String.

Isn't the clip devine? The lace is so soft and delicate too, there's still loads of goodies in my kit too.

I think I'm starting to like the curly hair Tilda's, I have to admit I much prefer colouring the straight hair ones, but these are definitely growing on me.

Have a look at all of the delicious goodies at Live & Love Crafts and the amazing inspiration at the blog, there's also a Nautical theme challenge running all month where we would like to see any crafty item with a Nautical theme.

Looking back on today, and what my hubby said, and bearing in mind the time I actually had my card finished I'd like to finish with this, 'My name is Becky, and I'm a craftaholic', lol.

Hugs,

Becky xx
