Hello Everyone, Here is a little Tilda card that I put together yesterday!
I've been enjoying the sunshine here and really looking forward to my hols in a month, where has the time gone, I cant believe that its June tomorrow!
I have had a great week, getting familiar with the fashionista DT pages and I also won a Top 5 place, in Sherri's Besties Challenge Blog too!!! I will also be posting my first ever DT blog card soon!
Onto this card, the Image is sweet pea Tilda and I have stamped her with Rich Mocha Memento Ink. And as everyone knows, the oval is a spellbinders frame. I have distressed and frantaged the edges, then glittered over the frantage with a little stickles, as the colours are quite muted and thought it might add that little extra sparkle.
All the papers are Maja Spring Basics Papers and all the flowers are from Hobby house, I cant get enough of their, cherry blossoms, they are perfect for a lot of the DI's. The Ribbon is from the ribbon girl, I just adore this ribbon, it makes superb bows, I re ordered some more just yesterday and a heap of other goodies that I just couldn't resist.
I have also added, a so wrapped up doohickey, which I think is becoming a bit of trademark of mine hee hee! I think the sentiment is perfect for the image and added a selection of lacy leaves in different shades & patterns and one of my handmade sparkly pins too! (another trademark)
I coloured her with a mix of promarkers and prisma pencils and I love my new frame that arrived a couple of days ago!
I hope that you have a great weekend and fingers crossed the sunshine.
Take care

Good day all and welcome to my blog.
I have fallen in love with these cute Besties from Sherri Baldy, I just cant resist those lovely big eyes and they are all sooo cute! Every time I buy another one, I find myself Aaw how cute!!!
Onto some news, I have been trying to create different cards lately and it must be working as I have been asked to be a member of the design team for the Fashionista Challenge by the lovely Rina!!
I am super excited and will be posting my first card with them at the end of the month, so pop over and take a look!
Well for this card, I have used this cute Princess & The Pea type of image. I've also used two magnolia tilde papers and one paper from my personal stash of papers, of course I used colour core too. I also cut in half an on the edge butterfly border and covered them with the remaining paper off cuts.
I have frantaged the image and two metal corners and added liquid pearls to the crown and got a dot on the edge too hee hee! I also die cut the lovely princess wording and crown and frantaged them too, frantage is so versatile and is soo addictive!
I have created a little birthday banner and run it across the ribbon threaded cluny lace from Live and Love Crafts, all the floral are from them too and also the ribbon girl and The hobby house. Finally, I die cut some Loreli Leaves with A Memory Box Die, which are really different and add a pretty touch.
Thank you for dropping by and I would love to hear your comments.
Take Care And Have A Great Day!

Hello Again My Lovely Friends.
Here is my second post for the day.
I have masked magnolia onto the lovely Tilda Dandelion Background, the image is coloured with prisma pencils and copics, I have just bought the background and thought this lovely 'Tilda dancing with stars' image, fluttering about in the flowers fits the background perfectly, I mean, who doesn't like a fairy?
The papers are Maja Spring Basics papers and Colour Core Card, no shock there hee hee! I have also used another paper border around the blue floral paper and punched it with a Martha Stewart Punch, with 2 little die cut and distressed tiny tags, peeking out from the side.
The florals are again from the ribbon girl and live and love crafts, I have frantaged the little heart which is from L&L Crafts and the toadstool charm is from the ribbon girl.(links in my side bar)
I've frantaged the backing paper, behind the image, die cut and assembled the bunting and stitched a lovely big organza and satin bow.
I hope you like it and thank you for dropping by.
Take care and big hugs.

Hello Everyone, I haven't been about for a while as I have been quite poorly, I had flu and also larangitis (which I am sure my hubby was secretly happy about, although denied it! Hee Hee!).
Anyway I'm all better now, so I have made a couple of cards to celebrate lol!
This is my first one and I think this Saturated Canary" Harvest Princess" Image is just so pretty ( as all Krista's Images Are) and this one has a lovely earthy feel to it. The image is coloured with prisma pencils using LOS Technique and Promarkers for the skin.
So I used some maja paper (green) and a floral cream glittered paper, I love colour core card, so of course used some of that too, I just love the linen textured feel and it distresses perfectly, with a little light sanding.
The sentiment stamped Tilda Doohickey, which I bought from ebay goes fab with this image and I have wrapped the 'So Wrapped Up' Tilda Doohickey with shabby seam binding, pearl string, a tiny apple charm and tiny pom poms, how cute are the pom poms?
Now, the Kort & Godt rolled paper roses and stunning organza ribbon are from the ribbon girl, who generously gave me a £10 gift voucher, as I won the beginner section in Marvellous Magnolia's Challenge for the card below! Which I was thrilled about Hee Hee!!! The Apples, Apple Charm and Bark Heart Are all from Live and Love Crafts. (All links in my side bar, for online stores)
As I am now totally addicted to frantage, I have frantaged the image and bark heart and added a few of the colour fragments from the same range.
Well, I had better get onto the second post for today.
I hope that you like this card, I would love to hear some comments.
Thanks for popping by my blog.
Take Care and Big Cuddles

Cupcake Craft Challenge - Lots of layers
Hello Everyone, Oh my goodness, we have had two days of glorious sunshine, clear blue skies and lots of gardening!! (I've nearly finished the tidy up)
I was feeling like my cards where getting a bit samey, so I set myself a challenge. I wasnt going to use all of the usual things that I usually do, so no large roses, hand made hat pins etc. With one exception, the so wrapped up heart doohickey, which I love to use on cards, so allowed myself one little slip hee hee. I think that each crafter has their own style, so I wanted to do something different.
So here is the card that I created using different materials, all from Live and Love Crafts, I have also frantaged the image and the bark heart and added some fragments too. This is the first thing that I have ever frantaged and I am in love with it now. The lovely ladies at L&L Crafts, have such a wonderful selection of goodies and unusual items that I cant keep my eyes off their site hee hee!
So I used Maja Vintage Summer Basics Papers (papers? more like card!), Kort and Godt Rolled Paper Roses, Glass Pebbles and brown lace across the middle of the card. I die cut some butterflies and lacey leaves from the left over from the two papers. I used build a brad for the central embellishment on the base layer and used the left over paper to punch the middle section, so nothing went to waste. I have coloured tilda with prisma pencils, she is from the valentines collection, from earlier this year. I will check on her name and add it to the blog later.
I have also threaded the doohickey with brown lace, shabby seam binding and pearl strings, with a heart charm. The daisy lace across the base layer is from my own goodies, with pearls in the center of each one.
I would love to hear your comments and I hope that you like my card.
Take care

Hello Everyone, Its been super sunny here today (UK), luckily I made this card yesterday evening, so I was able to pop outside and do a little gardening, well tidying my garden up hee hee!
I have used my favourite colour scheme which is blue and brown, they really do go well together, but for a change I added a little green border around the cute image, to co-ordinate with the green in the country cottage papers. I love this design from Whimsy, so much so, that I have used it both inside and on the front of the card too.
Of course this beautiful image is by the super talented Krista Smith and is called "No Bite", I think its a really pretty shabby girly image, so was perfect for this card.
I have coloured the image with copics, distressed some colour core card and used white paint to distress almost everything else! I used mainly frost blue, aqua blue and aqua for the blues and C1, C2, C3 and C5 for highlighting the dark areas and for her tights and finally Tan, Y28, E31 and E35 for the beiges and browns.
The florals are from the lovely ladies at Live and Love Crafts and The Ribbon Girl, who have just sent me a £10 gift voucher, as I was the random winner this week at Lovely Hanglar and Sweet Magnolia! I was super thrilled, as I have'nt won anything before, either random or not hee!!!
I have distressed the so wrapped up Kraft card sentiment and stitched lace, shabby seam binding and pearls into place and a lovely little brass charm. The wording is a little faint, so it reads "Let your light shine through" and is from LOTV.

Enjoy the rest of the sunshine where ever you are.

Hello Everyone, I hope your enjoying this quite chilly weekend, here in the UK, I hope its warmer where ever you are and your having a bit of sunshine!
Just popped on to show my most recent card, that I made yesterday. I felt like a change so I have masked the special edition "Tilda With Poppy" & "Meadow Daisy" background, which has turned out quite well. I have had the background since last spring, but havent actually coloured it, although I have stamped it, but just didnt get around to it.
Anyhow, I use Rich Cocoa to stamp both images and have coloured everything with Prisma pencils and the low odour solvent technique. The papers on the front of the card are all magnolia with distressed colour core card and the inside you can see above, is colour core, large doilie and a die cut distressed card that I have in my goodies lol!
Most of the gorgeous embellishments are from Live & Love Crafts, which includes the lovely floral lace, white plaster heart, pink poppy, shabby seam binding and cute little apple, which even has a tiny leaf, can be all found in their on line store!
The beautiful large trellis roses are from the ribbon girl and the wooden button is from the Hobby House (all links can be found in my side bar).
I have die cut two small glitter vellum butterflies and one doohickey butterfly from glitter vellum. There is also some die cut leaves and lovely all wrapped up patterned heart, wrapped with shabby seam binding.
I hope that you like my card and enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Hello Everyone, I just popped onto to show you my latest card, using the latest release of Magnolia Tilda, Once Upon A Time Collection.
I have coloured her with prisma pencils in Light Cerulean Blue, True Blue & Cloud Blue For Her Dress & Process Red, Magnenta & Rose Pink for her pretty shoes and crown. A little stickles highlights her crown and cuffs to add a little sparkle. As I always do with prisma pencils, I used the low odour solvent method, which is my favourite of all the techniques.
I have wrapped the "once upon a time" sentiment banner around a tiny wooden spool (another favourite of mine!) and distressed them both with DI. The Sentiment is from last years prince and princesses range, so works especially well with alot of this new collection, I used the castle from the same collection in the card below! I have included a blue pearl and crystal hat pin, which I make myself.I have used four pieces of Tilda Paper & four distressed colour core card, all distressed via sanding, this is great card and I just love using it to create the distressed effect.
The tiny wooden spool, distressed bark heart and lace are all from Live and Love Crafts, also some of the flowers are from the same store, aswell as from The Hobby House & The Ribbon Girl, all links are in my side bar.
Thanks for dropping by my little blog.
Have a great week.

Hello All Your Crafty Peeps,
I made this card earlier today, but had to wait a loong time for it to dry lol! I have used princess Tilda from the new once upon a time collection.
Tilda Is Masked with last years prince & princesses collection castle and for a change I have coloured all the image with Copics, instead of Prisma Pencils. The Copics used are: RV34,R81, RV21, RV10 for Tilda and the same pinks aswell as C1,C2, C3 and finally C5 for the castle.
She is fully glittered with stickles and I've added a sprinkling of diamond dust over the dress and crown too!
The on the edge butterflies were white, I distressed them with DI and covered them with a designer paper that I have. Which I distressed and when they were nearly dry, I gently peeled the backing paper up to give a distressed effect and cut each butterfly into a single butterfly, so they are no longer joined and added some lovely pink pearls.
As usual I have used magnolia papers both inside and on the front of the cards and the magnolia sentiment inside reads "Once Upon A Time..."
I've also used some cheesecloth and lace from Wild Orchid Crafts and flowers from The ribbon girl and Live and Love Crafts. Ive added a so wrapped up doohickey which is embellished with pearls, looped ribbon, sheer organza ribbon and a fairytale castle charm!
Finally I distressed the princess wording and fixed it partly over the picture and added Magnolia Heart Doohickey Sprays and Lacey Leaves, which are all distressed.
Thank you for droppin by my little blog.
Take care and Big Cuddles

Hi All You Crafty Peeps, This is my 3rd and final card for the weekend! A new record for me, but really, I made the first two during the end of the week, but didnt post them until the weekend, so I cheated a tad there hee hee!!!
I love this card, it is sooo girly!
So, Tilda is coloured with prisma pencils, low odour solvent technique, as it my favourite method at the moment and have used a distressed die cut behind the image. I have used lots of lovely florals, from The Ribbon Girl and the Hobby House. The wooden button and green cherry blossom are from the Hobby House on line store too and I have distressed the button with DI. I also Inlcuded one of my hand made pins, in white.
The large ribbon bow with the bling is from the Ribbon Girl, I hand stictched the beautiful diamontee embellishment in the middle.I have used Lots of buttons, all threaded with white & pink, there is also a bronze button charm on the tag and I have threaded this with cotton too!
On the base, I have attached pearls to the stunning cluny lace from Live and Love Crafts, where the jute ribbon on the front of card is from too. I have included a Tilda Tag, which is fixed this time to the base and is threaded with looped ribbon from the ribbon girl, shabby seam binding is from L&L Crafts and pearl string and also a tilda butterfly with rose body.
Both Papers are of course magnolia tilda, both backed with distressed colour core textured card stock.
Well Thats everything for now peeps. Thank you for dropping by my little blog!

Hi Everyone, this is my second post of the day.
I have used Tilda With Big Tulips and coloured her with Prima pencils in a variety of colours and used the low odour solvent technique. I love the results that can be achieved using this method and whilst it is very time consuming, it gives an almost distessed ink look to the images.
I cant make my mind up if I have distressed this card a bit too much, but I love it anyway.
The papers are of course, distressed (sanded) colour core card, but for change this week from Pion or Magnolia papers, I have used Emerald Isle Papers from Whimsy. I just love the depth of the emerald green colour, which compliments the distressed beige and browns beautifully!
Ive used beautiful cream cluny lace, that adds a really lovely accent across the center of the card and all the florals are from either wild orchid, the ribbon girl, live and love crafts or the hobby house! The beautiful Cluny lace is also available in white from Live and Love Crafts Too.
The Die cut stamped sentiment is from Magnolia and I have used the slightly larger die cut behind the image, accented with DI. Included is one of my hand made pins and I created a dark green bow from chiffon like distressed fabric. The lovely cook coo clock charm is from live and love crafts too.
Links to all on line shops mentioned are in my side bar and I have just noticed that Sir Stampalot, (another favourite of mine!) has started to sell hobby house goodies too, they are in the whats new section.
Anyway time for a coffee, I hope that you like both my cards that I have posted today.
