IT'S HALLOWEEN TIME AT TOTALLY TILDA

Good Morning All

I'm very excited this morning ... as you all know I was very proud to be part of the TOTALLY TILDA Design Team but stepped down a short while ago due to personal circumstances (believe me not through choice LOL) ... Well I am sponsoring the challenge this time around from my shop CRAFTS 4 YOU and I am thrilled to be a Guest Designer too - thank you so much ladies :) .... boy have I missed my Tildas!!!!!

Here's my card ....

I had so much fun making this card ... I've coloured with copics, cut her out and mounted her on foam pads, the DPs are from an Authentique Halloween collection, I've used the top left hand corner of a 12x12 sheet and added black stickles for extra effect on the spider's web, BAKERS TWINE from my shop and the sentiment is one of mine from a new HALLOWEEN COLLECTIONthat fit the Stampin Up oval punch perfectly :)

Thanks again ladies for having me this time around .. I've loved it!!!

I would like to enter :

CHARISMA CARDZ - BLACK & ORANGE

Thanks for stopping by and I'll catch up with you all soon :)

A CUTIE PIE CHRISTMAS

Morning All

Well ... what a day I had yesterday ... got up to no internet!!! OMG what did we all do before the internet??? 

Anyway .. it's all fixed now and I'm back online - phew!! I was lost for a while there LOL

But the good part is I managed to get all my housework done so that leaves me free today and the weekend ... YAY!!!!!!

So I thought I'd share with you another one of my Lili of the Valley Christmas cards ...

I think this image is just too cute!!! I've coloured this time with Lyra polycolour pencils for a change, highlighted with stickles glitter and mounted on nesties, the flowers are Marianne poinsettia die cuts from last Christmas :)

I made this card with a challenge in mind ... using a Bingo Board

the idea is to use any line up, down or across and indeed a Full House ... I've used the left hand column

GLITTER, 2 PATTERNED PAPERS AND FLOWERS

THE CUTIE PIE CHALLENGE

I hope you like it and thanks for stopping by :)

Catch up with you all soon

A TUTORIAL CHALLENGE FOR TILDA

Morning All

Another beautiful day in Sunny Essex and unfortunately I've got to do housework :( ...oh well the quicker I get it done the sooner I can enjoy the sunshine ... or do some crafting LOL!!

Another challenge starts today over at DCD CHRISTMAS CLUB where this week it's a little bit different ...

We want you to follow a Tutorial for an acetate based card - if you pop on over to the challenge you will find step by step details of how to achieve this fantastic shaped card :)

We also want you to use TILDA WITH SOME GLITTER AND BLING

Check out the DT cards - fab as usual!!

Here's mine ...

I had so much fun following this tutorial and will definitely be doing it again :) I've used two Magnolia stamps Tilda and Edwin skating and a winter background scene both have been coloured with copics, I've added some ribbon and a snowflake brad, and plenty of glitter on the background and Tilda/Edwin :)

The sentiment is one of mine and is part of a set of 6 in either DIGI FORMAT or CLEAR STAMP SET both of which can be found at CRAFTS 4 YOU

SPRING FLOWERS

Afternoon All

I thought I'd drop by a tell you that I am sponsoring CRAFTY CALENDER CHALLENGE BLOG this time round from my SENTIMENTS 4 YOU digi store.

The ladies very kindly offered me a Guest Designer Spot

and I jumped at the chance to make a card - it gave me the chance to use one of my new Magnolia stamps which is NOT a Tilda LOL - but it is TULIPS which are my absolute favourite flowers - in fact my daughter bought me a beautiful bunch of them today for Mother's Day :)

Pop on over and check out all the DT cards ... they are gorgeous!!

Here's my card ...

As I said this is one of my new Magnolia stamps - I coloured with promarkers and added glitter - did some "real" stitching for a change using a template.  The sentiment is one of mine and can be found at SENTIMENTS 4 YOU and is part of a set of 6 - Circle Definitions - as either a stamp set or digi downloads

Thanks for stopping by :)
