HEY LITTLE BIRDIE!!

Morning all

Beautiful morning here in Essex :) I'm off out shopping with my daughter this morning so before I go I need to let you know that a new challenge starts at TOTALLY TILDA today :)

This time its all about .....

DIE CUTS & PUNCHES

We need to see some die cuts and some punched out elements on your card ... easy peasy!!!

Here's mine ...

I've used a Martha Stewart PATP to make my cute little doiley, and Nellie Snellie punches for the flowers, the DP's are from a MME paper pad "Blink of an Eye", the fence, birdhouse and bird are all from the same Marianne Creatables die cut set .... love it!! I've coloured my Tilda with Promarkers for a change and ruffled some seam binding along the edge of her and finished off with pearls.  The ticket sentiment I bought at Ally Pally ages ago and forgot I had them - oops! ... I think they are by Creative Expressions :)

I hope you likey and thanks for stopping by ... don't forget to check out all the inspiration over at TOTALLY TILDA and then join us :)

Right ... must dash and get ready to go shopping :)

Catch up with you all soon

TILDA ON HER CANDY CANE

Morning All

First of all ... I'm so sorry I didn't post this card yesterday ... I went out at 8:00am and didn't get home until after 10:00pm .. I was at the Christmas Show at the Ideal Home Exhibition, Earls Court ... and silly me forgot to do a schedule post ...Ooops!!!

Anyway better late than never lol .. 

We have started a new challenge over at TOTALLY TILDA where this time the theme is :

MASKING

Check out all my teamies to see what we mean and admire their fantastic work!!

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 :)

Hope you like it and thanks for stopping by I really appreciate it

Catch up with you all soon

SPECIAL ANNIVERSARY WISHES

Afternoon All

Just thought I'd drop by and show you a card I made for a friend of mine for her children to give to their Grandparents on their 50th Wedding Anniversary ... and it got me thinking "that's a good idea for a set of sentiments" LOL so I made a set of 6 sentiments of Special Anniversaries

This fab little image is from LOTV and I've coloured with Promarkers, the corners are by Marianne Design and are available at Crafts 4 You

The sentiment is, as said above, from a brand new set of 6 Special Anniversaries at CRAFTS 4 YOU

Hope you like it and I'll catch up with you soon :)

HEY ... WHAT'S COOKIN??

Morning Blogland

Thought I'd pop by and show you what we did at my class last week "Door Hangers" - all my ladies loved them ... or at least that's what they told me LOL!!

The blank kits of these can be found at DIE CUT DREAMS from the lovely Susie Sugar - her web shop is closed for a few weeks but will be up and running again soon :)

They all did this kitchen one

This one was made using Kitchen Tilda and the lace jam jar - both coloured with promarkers, I inked the edge of the hanger to colour the chipboard, added a ribbon and a "teapot" charm from EWE 2 CAN CRAFT, the sentiment is one of mine and can be found as part of a set of 6 at SENTIMENTS 4 YOU

The next ones were for children, boy or girl - they chose which they want to do :)

This one was made using a fun image from DIGI STAMP BOUTIQUE and he is called REX .. how cute is he!!!! coloured with promarkers again and cut out using nesties, the "buttons" are die cuts from Joy Stencils and the sentiment is one of mine which is part of a set of 6 and can be found at SENTIMENTS 4 YOU as either digi downloads or a clear stamp set

This one was made using a clear stamp set I've had ages by Marianne - available in either boy or girl and you get the "figure" with clothes to stamp and colour / paper piece, the flower is a Martha Stewart punch as is the border :)

Hope you like them .. I think they all had great fun making them... I know I did!!!!

Catch up with you all later
