Mistletoe Tilda~

Hi All~

Not nice again here today, raining most of it.
I don't understand what's going on, but ever since they implemented the hose pipe ban in Cumbria it has rained!! Typical.

I have made another Chrismas card today (all goes towards the making of them nearer the time!)
I love this image of Tilda with the mistletoe and earlier this year I knew I had to have her for this years Christmas cards.
Not sure if I chose the best colours to go with her, but it's done now. I have used the Snowflake punch round the corner MS punch. When it cuts the waste it leaves behind are these sweet tiny snowflakes which I have managed to use on the card, brilliant.
I have used a Nestie to matt Tilda and ribbon from my stash. Coloured with Pro-markers. The sentiment is one I found in my Christmas box.
These papers were FREE in Cardmaking and Papercraft magazine issue 81 (August), they are lovely MME Summer stack called "Quite Contrary".
36 papers in 12 stunning designs, how great, cannot beat having this sort of freebie in a mag!

Anyone for a game of Bingo!!

Hi All~

I must admit Bingo is not my thing. After spending all my money on lovley craft items, I don't think there would be anything left for a game of Bingo!! LOL

Todays card is made with another hAnglar image, this was stamped for me so no idea what she is called, but I do like her alot.
I have used the sketch and colours from Crafts for Eternity and it was them that also had the brilliant idea of adding a Bingo card! Never heard or seen this before, Lindsey used one on her card and then on the C4E blog you can see how others have used theirs. Looks so different, and I quite like it.

Pink Gift Bag~

Hi All~
Hope you are all having a nice weekend, and hope the weather is a little warmer where you are, it's very dull and a bit windy here.

Today I have been to my second "Zumba" class with my friend Angie...Zumba is a sort of aerobic dance class. I have got to say it's one of the hardest things I have ever done, but it is great fun. If the amount of fluid lost is anything to go by, it's a great way to keep fit. The music is all Latin flavour and is very energetic.
I am a bit wrecked and will appologise in advance for the awful photo of my gift bag, looks like I took it after I drank a bottle of gin.
Oh and Gin is my tipple incase you were wondering!!

I hope you like my wee gift bag...
I have used a nice Anna Griffin Pink DP, + other papers, and the lace border MS punch, the flowers and leaves are NS, and the image (as if I have to tell you) is hAnglar. Really enjoyed making this bag and enjoyed using the girly pink colour~

Tiny Tiddler~

Hi All~

Since the day I saw this Tiny Tiddler Image by Sugar Nellie I loved her.
I had seen her on a web site, but hadn't had time to go on line and actually buy her.
Then yesterday I recieved a little package from Sheila, my lovely blog friend. Inside was.. Yes you've guessed it...A stamped image of TINY TIDDLER...WOW, I couldn't believe it, I just had to use her straight away.
This meant I neglected my Scrapbooking....but I don't care!! LOL
She is worth it, I will have to go buy her now~

I have just finished a card in my favorite colour "Green", and although I wanted to do this card green aswell, I resisted and looked for a challenge with a different colour to my usual, and that was The Sugar Bowl who asked for this sketch and blue, so here it is.

My papers used are the gorgeous DCWV Linen Closet, coloured with pro-markers, and my MS punch round the page punches.
I don't know where I got this little fish charm, but it goes great with the fishing theme! Ribbon and pins from my stash.
I have added some glossy accents to her hair and water.

Summertime, we love it!

Hi Again~

Glad to be able to post again today, finding things hard going at the moment, but I have finished work now until September so I can do lots more crafting, along with other jobs that I MUST do aswell.

I am really happy to be using this lovely image of Tilda sat on her ring. My friend Angie lent me these two stamp, so thank you Ang. Hope you will agree she looks so sweet. In the Magnolia magazine there are a few cards featuring this image and it's nice to see what colours others have used when making their cards.

I have kept to the brief for the Delightful Challenge, as they wanted this colour combo and a beach theme. Just Magnolia wanted 1 Ribbon, 2 Papers and 3 Flowers. The lovely Sketch is Craft Creations and I enjoyed doing this one.
The papers are K&Co, I have used two different Nesties to cut the matting shapes. The images are of course Magnolia, the flowers and leaves are NS. Finished with pins, ribbon and a sentiment by Penny Black.

Beautiful House Mouse~

Hi All~

Just a quick post tonight.

Today I have been asked to make a Scrapbook for a man's 60th Birthday, I have a while to do it, (but once I get going there is no stopping me, Scrapbooking is my biggest passion). I have already finished one page, but wont be able to share it with you until I have asked permission from the lady who has ordered it, but hopefully if she says yes, I can let you all have a gander!!

Tonight I have posted a card I started to make before bed last night, I finished it off at tea time tonight.
I love the House Mouse images, I actually only have three of them and this one is a new one. It was bought in May and this is the first time I have stamped it, I love it, it's so cute.
I have used some co-ordination cardstock, Kioshi Basic Grey papers, ribbon, spray of beads, some PM flowers and finished with copper colour stickles.

Entered into the following challenges:

House Mouse--Sketch
Paper Sundae--Layers
Polka Doodles--Summer

Sweet Cherrys for Summer~~

Hi All~

I have just recieved a "Sweet" cherry card, topper and Stamp set from QVC. It is called Nitwit Collections Essentials, I have never heard of it, but it is cute.

I don't really have anything like this, so it made a refreshing change and I was keen to make a card with it. (Not made today, but made yesterday and put aside for posting today).

I have used these new papers in conjunction with Basic Grey papers, and I have used some glossy accents on top of the buttons and cherrys. The word SWEET is a rub on. I have used one of my MS punches for the dotty border. Yummy Cherry's I love 'em!

Footie Final tonight and for the first time EVER, I actually am not too worried about who should win.
I like the idea that neither of them have ever had their name on the World Cup, so thats really nice.
If I was pushed to pick one of them, then I would have to say HOlland, but not for any reason really.
I just hope it is a good FINAL match... Ooh I am going to miss watching it, but now I might be able to get some long awaited jobs done!!
