VALENTINE TILDA

Good Morning All

Well ... things didn't go quite to plan yesterday ... thought I would spend the whole day crafting but it didn't work out like that ... ended up with a really bad headache and spent the afternoon sleeping :(

Good news is that I feel a lot better today ... but am off out shopping with my daughter .. so no crafting again! I will get around to making cards with those D'Arcy images soon I promise lol

Anyway ... today sees the start of another new challenge over at TOTALLY TILDA where the theme this time is ....

RED & PINK - VALENTINES

and we are sponsored by the fab Nikki at BUNNY ZOE CRAFTS

This little cutie is from the new collection - Tilda with Cozy Heart and I've coloured her with Copics.  The clock face is a Tim Holtz die I've had for a while and thought it suited this card perfectly.  The postage stamps are from Whimsy along with the die to cut them out and my heart doiley is from my stash.

A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL FROM THE TOTALLY TILDA TEAM ... see you in the New Year :)

Morning All

I'm up bright and early again this morning .. have a few chores to do and then we are putting up our Christmas Decorations Woo Hoo!!!!!! I'm still like a big kid at Christmas .. love the whole atmosphere of Christmas :)

We went out last weekend and bought a whole new colour scheme of decs for our tree ... can't wait to decorate it .... may even post a piccie later he he :)

Anyway ... over at TOTALLY TILDA  we are beginning a new challenge today ... when you first see the theme you may scream .... but believe me it's so much fun!!!

The theme this time is :

WHITE ON WHITE

NO OTHER COLOURS AT ALL ... no shading and not even a tiny green leaf lol .... The only colours allowed are Tilda's flesh and Hair

Pop on over and check out my teamies' creations for inspiration they are fab as usual :)

Here's mine ....

Another new Christmas Tilda lol ... I stamped her with London Fog memento ink to give her a softer feel and then "coloured" with glitter, the embossing folder is a Tim Holtz one and .. shame on me ... I've had it for ages and only just used it - perfect for this card though - I've cut a nestie circle frame to highlight the 25th, added some pom pom ribbon, lace and punched flowers to finish

Can't wait to see all your creations

MIDWAY MASKING REMINDER

Good Morning All

Hope you are having a good weekend ... I popped out to a local craft shop yesterday who had their members day on where you get 30% off!!! Yay!!! Met up with Wendy Woo and had a cuppa too ... Fab :)

Oh .. and you might have noticed my new blog background .... was gonna wait until 1st December to put it on but really couldn't wait ... I'm in the Christmas spirit already lol ... decorations go up next week and I'm nearly finished Christmas shopping .. how great is that!!!

Anyway .... just thought I'd pop by and remind you that you still have a week to enter the challenge over at TOTALLY TILDA where the theme this time is:

MASKING

Here's another card to show you ... plenty more to be seen so pop on over and check out my teamies for their fab creations :)

Thought I'd keep the card nice and clean and simple so I could highlight the masking.  I've masked together two Tildas and a Magnolia presents stamp and coloured with Copics, keeping the colours to just reds/greys (apart from flesh/hair) and mounted up on red card.  The sentiment is from a Christmas stamp set I've had for years and I punched it out with the Stampin Up Decorative Label punch and then finished off with Bakers Twine and Gems.

Here's mine ...

I've used another one of my new Christmas Tildas and I've sat her on a Candy Cane and then coloured with Copics.  I decided to do a bit of distressing for a change and distressed all my papers.  I used a Kraft card blank for a change too :) and finished off with some PEARLS, LACE and a MISTLETOE DIE from Marianne :)

CHRISTMAS ... BUT NO REDS, NO BLUES & NO GREENS

My first DT card for this challenge was in pink ... but this time around I decided to go with an all purple theme ... it's a colour I don't use that much but looks great for Christmas cards ...

Another one of my new Christmas Tildas and she does look so cute in purple don't you think?? I coloured here with Copics and used an old corner punch I haven't use for ages to mount her up.  The DP is from a older Cosmo Cricket paper pad Mitten Weather and I've finished off with pearls, a sparkly snowflake and my new favourite stamps from Whimsy ... mini postage stamps ... I now have the whole range ... Ooops!!!!

Hope you likey :)

CHRISTMAS TILDA .... BUT NO REDS, NO GREENS & NO BLUES

Morning All

First of all I'm so sorry I haven't been around for the past week or so ... life hasn't been that good ... been to the Doctors three times and am trying to get all my medication sorted out and it has left me completely drained .. I haven't even looked at my craft desk!!  But hopefully medication is sorted and I can get back to some sort of normality now :)

So .... we are back at TOTALLY TILDA again with a new challenge .... this time we want to see ....

CHRISTMAS

BUT WITH NO REDS, NO GREENS & NO BLUES

and this time we are sponsored by the fantastic Susie from DIE CUT DREAMS ... she has just re-opened her shop so please go check it out - she has the most brilliant die cuts

This was the perfect opportunity for me to use pink LOL! and of course one of my new Sweet Christmas Tildas (I might just have bought quite a few so watch out for more he he he )

here it is .....

I cut her out with a nestie, then distressed the edge before I took her out giving me a white border and then coloured her with Copics, the DP is an old scrap I had in my stash from last Christmas, those gorgeous flowers are carnations from WILD ORCHID (all the colours might just have found their way in my basket lol), the branches are a Martha Stewart punch, the snowflake is from Cuttlebug

Please go check out my teamies HERE .... what fantastic inspiration there is

Hope you like it and thanks for stopping by :)
