Two Tilda's

Hi everyone,

Time for another challenge over at Midweek Magnolia's, this week we want to see your creations with two Tilda characters on.


I was looking through my stamps to see which I had that would go together, and saw these two and thought I couldn't not use them. I'd actually forgotten that I had the one sitting down and she was actually waiting in my shopping basket to buy when I bought some more bits.


I've coloured them both in with Distress Inks, I've carefully cut one out and the other I've done chalk clouds, I really like this effect. The papers are from Maja design, I really must get some more of this paper. The flowers and seam binding are from Wild Orchid Crafts. The edges have been sewn using the top stitch thread from The Ribbon Girl, I love this stuff.


Pop over to Midweek Magnolia's and have a look at the creations my teamies have made.

Hugs,

Wizard Of Oz

Hi everyone,

Wednesday again, these weeks keep flying round. This week at My Mum's Craft Shop Challenges we're sponsored by Saturated Canary and we want you to entertain us with your favourite song or movie. I looked through Krista's images and this one popped straight out at me, I spent hours when I was little watching Wizard of Oz, I knew it off by heart. About 5 years ago I saw Wicked in London, and would love to watch it again. In the end it was a close choice between Glinda and Dorothy, but Dorothy won.


I've coloured her with my distress inks, I must admit I originally tried to use my copics, but I struggled to use them-I've been using my inks for so long, lol. I've covered her red ruby slippers in glamour dust to make them shine.


The papers are from Maja road, the lace and flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.


Pop over to MMCS and see the fabulous creations by teamies have made, and then entertain us.

Sketch

Hi everyone,

I'm sorry, but this is being posted from my phone, while I'm sat freezing round the swings with the kids. I've been internetless for a few days, and I'm lost, lol. I've not been able to pop round any blogs as although I've got an iPhone I don't have much of a signal in my house. I'm so glad I scheduled my dt posts this week or I'd have been stuck.

I saw this sketch over at Simply magnolia yesterday when I was out walking the dog, and had to draw it down. I can't see if my card fits any other challenges.

Here's my card




Luckily my wifi still works so I can still edit my pics and then send them to my phone, what a polava lol.
I think this is one of my all time favourite Tilda's and I've coloured her with distress inks. I've used one of the new doohickey border dies, and then almost covered all of it. The flowers, pearls and seam binding are all from wild orchid crafts.




It's my Dads birthday today, his first away from us. It proving to be such a hard day, I've been to the cemetery and given him a can of beer, it's 3 months today since we lost him-on another Friday 13th and I'm missing him just as much.




Better keep this short, my fingers are like ice. But, I must admit having no Internet is saving me a small fortune :)

Hugs,

'Special' Birthday

Time for another challenge at Midweek Magnolias, and this time we want to see your cards for a 'Special' Birthday.

Here's my card,



I've got round to inking up one of my new Tilda's again, I don't know her name yet, she's been coloured in with Distress Inks. I must admit, this is a close second favourite, I can't wait to see the full collection.


The DP are from Bildmalarna, I've distressed the edges and sewn them using Top Stitch thread from the Ribbon Girl. The lace and seam binding are from Wild Orchid Crafts and the Ribbon Girl, the flowers are from WOC.


I decided to make a card for a thirtieth birthday, the dies are from Whimsey and the tiny tag stickers are from eBay. Pop over to Midweek Magnolias and join us this week.

Hugs,

Celebration


Wednesday again, and time once again for a challenge over at My Mums Craft Shop Challenges and this week we want to see your celebration cards. We're sponsored this challenge by Elisabeth Bell. It was my nephew's christening on Easter Sunday (well it will be as I'm scheduling this post, lol). So as I needed to make a card for this it seemed the perfect opportunity to make it for this challenge.

Here's my card,


I've coloured Baby Edwin in with distress inks, isn't he sooo cute?? The papers are from Maja Design, and I've distressed the edges and sewn them with the Ribbon Girls top stitch thread.



The bunting, cloud and border are all doohickey dies. The stickers I've had for ages and I got them from eBay. The date stamp I recently got from Simon Says Stamp.


Pop over to MMCS and have a look at the great cards my teamies have made, and show us your celebration cards.

Hugs,

Happy Birthday

Hi everyone,

It's time for another challenge at Totally Tilda, for this challenge we're sponsored by Crimson Cloud and we want to see your birthday cards, we want to see the words 'Happy Birthday' on there.

I must admit, I tend to leave my cards sentiment free as this leaves them much more versatile, but as I was about to start assemble this the post man brought me those fab sentiments and dies from Wimsey and they are just perfect.


I've coloured Tilda in with distress inks, adding some glamour dust just to lift her dress a little. The papers are from Pion and Inkado.


The lace and flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, and as I said the sentiment is from Whimsey and so are the corners. The border die is from Whiff of Joy.


Pop over to Totally Tilda and show us your birthday cards, but please remember to put the words 'Happy Birthday' on there.

Hugs,
