A Nice Spring card - More Tilda!! (and a bit of ebay help needed) EDITED POST

 Hello everyone, cant believe another week has gone. Time really does get the better of me sometimes. But I here again with yet another Tilda card. Think I've got a bit of a thing for her right now as all I've done in my spare time is colour her up.

So spring is looming and I love looking at the daff s sprouting up in the field. So I have gone with spring colours and made a Birthday Card. I can honestly say I have never used these colours before so colouring the stamp was alotta fun!

Another make it up as I go along. Best way for me. Cheesecloth (as ever), pretty Spring Border Die, Cloud Die, Punches, Jute Ribbon, Stickles and Gems to make this pretty Spring Card.

Now I've taken 2 piccies. One with a dark background and one more in the light. Couldn't decide what looked best so posted both.

And below is a close up of whats on the card. Dont usually do photo heavy posts but this is so pretty IRL.

Magnolia Topper - OTT!! Comment problem fixed.......,..

SHOULD BE ABLE TO COMMENT NOW, I DONE NOTHING BUT SET TO NO COMMENTS ALLOWED - EEK.....

Hello everyone, today I'm showing my first ever topper and I think I went a bit mad, even my dining table wasn't big enough to cater for the amount of stash I got out to make this up!!!

I've used Tilda with Bow and coloured her with Copics. The paper is from the Prima Meadow Lark Pad, with Cheescloth ontop. I got the Elegant Edges Cartridge for my new Cricut yesterday and wow its fabulous, will also make wonderful shaped inserts. I've used of the it to extend my topper. Embellishment overload on this one using lots of different dies, flowers, punched butterflies and a small doily I bought the other day.

I last week decided to step down from my DT's. It wasn't an easy decision at all and I still have regrets, but crafting was being more of a chore than a hobby and I want to be able to have the time to work at my own pace hopefully with even better creations. Cant guarantee all the time but I'll try. lol  I've had a good old nose round blogland and gots lots of inspiration so hopefully my mojo will keep. Maybe because spring is looming and I feel so much perkier.

 So maybe one day I'll go back to some DT's, but for the moment I'm happy being mum first and crafter second.

Heres some challenges I'm entering this into;
