Totally Tilda Challenge ~ 90

Good Morning my lovelies.

My card today is for the new challenge at  Totally Tilda, where the theme for the next fortnight is 'Tilda's Sewing Room'.

 For this challenge, you need to feature in some way at least one of the following:

Cotton Reel

Sewing Machine

Mannequin/Dress Form.

As you can probably imagine, for someone like me that struggles with embellishments, this really was a challenge!

Ta-dah!

I think I (almost) deserve a medal for this one with all those embellies!

Tailor Tilda is coloured with DI markers.

The gorgeous papers are Pion Design Alma's Sewing Room.

Pure Silk Lavender ribbon and 15mm Ivory Satin ribbon from The Ribbon Girl.

So...for the challenge I went with a full house!

Sewing Machine is on the image.

A little Cotton Reel wound with bakers twine (thank you my sweet friend for the cotton reel ♥)

A Dress Form (thank you Sandra)

And I even added some buttons for good measure.

Totally Tilda Challenge ~ 89

Good Morning my lovelies.

It's been a very busy couple of weeks and I've not had much playtime at all...just enough to get a card made for the Totally Tilda challenge, where the theme for the next fortnights is...

Pink and Red Valentines.

(you maybe want to put your sunglasses on now)

Sheesh but this is a bright card for me!

Tilda with Wrapped Heart is one on my favourite stamps...she's just so sweet!

She's coloured with the usual DI's, mainly the markers.

The papers are MME Heirloom 6x6 pad.

The ribbon is 15mm Satin 'Dusky Pink' from The Ribbon Girl.

Memory Box die for the hearts, a few pearls and a button.

Our generous sponsor for this challenge is

Totally Tilda Challenge ~ 88.

Good Morning my lovelies.

Today I have a card to share for the new challenge at Totally Tilda...which means I am delighted to still be on the team....thank you very much!

 We also have a new addition...the amazingly talented and super sweet Linda.

So...the theme for the new challenge is masking.

Now I know this might shock you, but I have done masking before. Yessiree I have!

Once.

I spent ages searching through all my stamps, because although I have lots of (and then some)  images, I don't buy the accessory stamps simply because I don't use them.

But I did find one background stamp!

I'm not quite sure what I was thinking here!!

Now I look at it I can't help but wonder why Tilda would be stood in front of a barbed wire fence?

I'm thinking she nipped over the fence and into the meadow to pick a flower, and then jumped back over quickly in the hope that no-one had seen her...only it looks like she got her knickers caught on the barbed wire and now she's desperately trying to free herself whilst still looking all sweet and innocent!

Card details:

The colouring is done with DI markers.

The papers are Maja Design Vintage Spring Basics.

A sentiment from Whimsy, a Doo Hickey swirl, a couple of punched flowers and a smattering of pearls.

Wee Posey ♥

Good Morning my lovelies.

At long last...a card! I've not had time to get in my craft room since early December so it was lovely to just sit and colour, even more so when the image is super cute.

This gorgeous little fairy from the very talented Sylvia Zet is Posey, available to buy as a digital stamp HERE or as a rubber stamp HERE.

As always, she's been coloured with DI markers.

The papers are Pion Design Studio of Memories.

Two beautiful ribbons from The Ribbon Girl, the ivory one is 15mm satin and the pink ribbon and bow is 32mm Pure Silk. (see the post below for The Ribbon Girl candy)

A little wooden flower button, a few pearls, some glamour dust and a butterfly completes the card.

I will enter this into the challenge at In The Pink which is 'Anything Goes'...as long as there is plenty of pink!

That's my first week back at work over with, thank goodness! 

Sheesh but it's horrible going back in after the long Christmas break and getting back to the routine of early mornings!

Thanks for looking.

New Year Candy

Happy New Year to you all ♥

I know I said that yesterday but today IS the New Year so I'm going to say it again!

Another year has flown past at break-neck speed and a new year has started, bringing with it lots of exciting things for me to look forward too, and one of the those exciting things is that I was asked by Mary and Andrea from 

 if I would like to be Guest Designer in 2014....would I?? 

Yep indeedy I would, thank you very muchly!

(followed by lots of squealing and clapping)

As regular readers know, I'm a plain and simple kinda woman and my cards don't usually have much in the way of embellishments, but I do love ribbon and my particular favourite is the satin ribbon which comes in a gorgeous array of colours and sizes.

But the Ribbon Girl stocks a wide variety of products, not just ribbon but something to suit everyone's tastes.

So, in honour of this...

...I thought I would put a little candy on here. I've not done candy for a while, since the boy went off to University in London and emptied our bank account in the process!

I have TWO of these vouchers to give away...£15 each to 2 winners.

To enter: Just click on the blue frog below.

Please note: The vouchers can be redeemed against any of the vast products stocked in the shop, but not against the P&P, which can be anything from £2.50 in the UK up to £5.25 for the USA.

Thanks for looking and a big thank you to Mary and Andrea ♥

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to all my family, friends and followers.

I know I've been missing for almost 3 weeks now! Like everyone else, I was so busy in the run up to Christmas...shopping, wrapping and writing, and since I finished work on Christmas Eve I've not had any time to just sit and write.

But I have to say, we've all had a lovely Christmas and enjoyed the company of good friends and family.

We've either had visitors or been out visiting every day and I'm starting to feel a little fatigued now. I've also been out with friends to see an Elvis impersonator...he was actually very, very good and if I was an Elvis fan then I'm sure I would've enjoyed it more, and I went to see West Side Story at the Palace theatre in Manchester with the hubster...now that was excellent!

I haven't set foot inside my craft room since the first week of December but I hope to get some playtime before I have to go back to work...I think it's going to need a good dusting first!

I hope everyone has enjoyed Christmas (and got lots of crafty stash to play with).

Wishing you a very Happy, Healthy and Blessed 2014, and many thanks for your continued support and friendship.

Love 'n'hugs
