</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Well I can honestly say I never thought for one moment that I would be making any cards at all this week. I dont know whats come over me but I cant stop colouring!! So late last night when everyone was tucked up I took some time out and this is what I come up with. I'm pretty much a Tilda addict at the moment. You wont see many cards from me where the stamp has been coloured with dark tones. I'm pretty scared when it comes to shading and red is a colour I never usually use. But I love my new "Shy Tilda" and the warm colours on this card make this a real treat for me. I've coloured her with Copics and Polychromo Pencils. Got the set of 120 and hardly used them, and I've remembered to list the colours used. The Postcard Stamp is LOTV, papers are Basic Grey - Kissing Booth and made my own tag.</div><div style="text-align: center;"> I did make this card based on this weeks Magnolia Stamp Lovers Challenges and as usual it will fit so many more so here they are;</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<b>FINGERS CROSSED ITS DONE THE TRICK.</b><br />
<br />
Well I cant remember the last time I made a card for a challenge of my choice. Normally I make the card then see what fits but I loved this weeks<a href="http://papertakeweekly.blogspot.co.uk/"> Papertake Weekly Challenge</a> so this was made using this weeks sketch. I'm lovin my Tilda's and I've inked this one up for the second time, if it makes a third it will be a record!!</div><div style="text-align: center;">She's been coloured with Copics and I've used the beautiful papers from Bo Bunny's "Country Garden Collection". Lots of Dies and Flowers all covered with Stickles as usual. A piece of Lace and a Button with a piece of String that was off a clothes tag.</div><div style="text-align: center;">This may be my last card for a couple of weeks. Were off to Center Parcs during half term and I dont know if I will get any craft time before we go. I was hoping this gorgeous weather was going to continue but I think its on a downward spiral. As long as its not to wet and Center Parcs has lots of activities whatever the weather so I'm sure we will enjoy ourselves.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;"> Hello everyone, cant believe another week has gone. Time really does get the better of me sometimes. But I here again with yet another Tilda card. Think I've got a bit of a thing for her right now as all I've done in my spare time is colour her up.</div><div style="text-align: center;">So spring is looming and I love looking at the daff s sprouting up in the field. So I have gone with spring colours and made a Birthday Card. I can honestly say I have never used these colours before so colouring the stamp was alotta fun!</div><div style="text-align: center;">Another make it up as I go along. Best way for me. Cheesecloth (as ever), pretty Spring Border Die, Cloud Die, Punches, Jute Ribbon, Stickles and Gems to make this pretty Spring Card.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Now I've taken 2 piccies. One with a dark background and one more in the light. Couldn't decide what looked best so posted both.</div><div style="text-align: center;">And below is a close up of whats on the card.

Say I managed. Hubby is away for a few days so I thought I'd have a me day and worry about the chores tomorrow before he comes home.</div><div style="text-align: center;">So back to my card. Tilda has been coloured with Copics, Cheesecloth which I cant live without right now. Gorgeous Spring Border Die and a few others. Flowers, Stickles, and pretty pearls to finish. I just love the tiny stickers, thought I'd go with a Birthday Theme for a change.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Hope you like.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Hello everyone, today I'm showing my first ever topper and I think I went a bit mad, even my dining table wasn't big enough to cater for the amount of stash I got out to make this up!!!</div></div><div style="text-align: center;">I've used Tilda with Bow and coloured her with Copics. The paper is from the Prima Meadow Lark Pad, with Cheescloth ontop. I got the Elegant Edges Cartridge for my new Cricut yesterday and wow its fabulous, will also make wonderful shaped inserts. I've used of the it to extend my topper. Embellishment overload on this one using lots of different dies, flowers, punched butterflies and a small doily I bought the other day.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I last week decided to step down from my DT's. It wasn't an easy decision at all and I still have regrets, but crafting was being more of a chore than a hobby and I want to be able to have the time to work at my own pace hopefully with even better creations. Cant guarantee all the time but I'll try. lol I've had a good old nose round blogland and gots lots of inspiration so hopefully my mojo will keep. Maybe because spring is looming and I feel so much perkier.</div><div style="text-align: center;"> So maybe one day I'll go back to some DT's, but for the moment I'm happy being mum first and crafter second.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Well its taken me well over a week to make this card but here I am at long last and with a card that I am very happy with.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I've a draw of Magnolia stamps that never see daylight. I've been having a good sort out in my craftroom and have added lots on<a href="http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/123.hamster/m.html?_trksid=p4340.l2562"> ebay</a> and still loads more to go on if anyones interested.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I went totally OTT with this card and love the final result. Tildas been coloured with Copics and Prismas and dotted around her with a White Gel Pen. The papers are Magnolia, Dies Galore including my TH Weathered Clock, a big favourite right now. Found all my flowersoft in a cupboard so have added to the Magnolia Fence along with lots of MS Punched Butterflies. Cheesecloth, Stickles and a Viva Pearl Pen for a touch of detail and a scrummy piece of lace to.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Forgot to say the tag on the left is removal so you can always add a message there to and the fence has been arched giving a bit of dimension.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WvNnrhx0hz8/T0Feyp2XjYI/AAAAAAAAEIg/rnA3dN_qvsk/s1600/insert.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="294" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WvNnrhx0hz8/T0Feyp2XjYI/AAAAAAAAEIg/rnA3dN_qvsk/s320/insert.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I'm not one for skeches and like to see how things lay on the card. This has to be one of my favourite stamps "Fairies On Tiptoe" from LOTV. The cardstock is Kraft.The dotty paper is a piece of scrap and the gingham is Craft Creation. Used the gorgeous wide MS Border Punch an edged all papers with a Brown Chalk Ink Pad. This is my third attempt colouring on Kraft. The first was just pencils, 2nd copics and this has been done with pencils blended with Sansador, defo my favourite so far. Lace, Viva Pearl Pen, Cheesecloth, Stickles, Gold Ink dabber, Copper Glimmer Mist, Gingham Bow, MS Butterfly Punches, lots of flowers and dies including my new TH Clock die.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I have for a first also decorated the inside of the card but silly me forgot to photograph it - doh!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Hello again, hope its not too cold or windy where you are. A great excuse to stay indoors and do some crafting, or so I thought. My Zoe woke with a sore throat and headache. Now cant hold down any food or water and has slept on and off most of the day. She also has a temperature of 102, so guess who wont be at school tomorrow and I have to be up at 6am to get Daniel off to school. Think matchstix will be needed tonight -eek.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Between her and the dog, I've had a right old week lol.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Today we see a new challenge over at the<a href="http://dreamvalleychallenges.blogspot.com/"> Dream Valley Challenge Blog</a>. Our last challenge had over 5oo entries, thankyou so much to those who entered. This fortnights theme is </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">"<b>Animals</b>".</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> Now I must confess I'd totally forgotten about these stamps.<i> </i>I have a draw full of them, so thought it was about time I put at least one of them to use. This is "Humphreys Corner Birthday Girl" from Crafters Companion . Her dress has been paper pieced and the rest coloured with Promarkers.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I have so many dies that I just dont use, so got my bigshot out and had a cutting session, then yesterday tidied and resorted my craftroom. A bit more organised, well for the moment anyway.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zb9cIcvr-Fk/TxryiA5PVTI/AAAAAAAAEGQ/_sjgYd55bjk/s1600/zoomforblog1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zb9cIcvr-Fk/TxryiA5PVTI/AAAAAAAAEGQ/_sjgYd55bjk/s320/zoomforblog1.jpg" width="306" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">Do you like my little birdnest?? I was fumbing with a bit if cheesecloth at the time, couldn't decide where to put it and this is what I came up with. Frayed the edges and rubbed over with a chalk ink pad. The papers used are Basic Grey Sweet Thread, other items are Crystal Stickles, Viva Pearl Pen, White Souffle Pen and lots of various flowers, punches and dies.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Good morning everyone, its finally the weekend and another new challenge over at the <a href="http://ceschallenges.blogspot.com/">CES Challenge blog</a>. Thanks to everyone who played along last week, some fab entries. This weeks challenge is<b> anything but a card</b>. Eek, not often I come out of my comfort zone but I saved this coffee powder tin wondering if I'd ever get round to altering it and hey presto! I've been reading how so many are going to use old stash and unused items. The paper and bazzill are from my scrap draw, so I've made a start. This really was a make it up as you go along jobs but I think its really pretty. Jessica my 16yr old really liked it and she's not into girly things so I've given it to for her nik-naks. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">Good morning everyone, I've been a nawty blogger this last week and am finally back with a card for this weeks <a href="http://liliofthevalleythursdaychallenge.blogspot.com/">Lili's Little Fairies</a> Challenge. I love this weeks theme "<span style="color: #741b47;">Lavender and Lace</span>". Think these colours are always so pretty on a card, I should make a note to use them more often. I have used tiptoe fairy and again coloured onto kraft, this time with Copics and Promarkers. (I'm experimenting I think). The papers are a mix of Basic Grey Koishi and Wisteria. You cant see the card blank but it is a beautifully embossed pearl and so pretty. Lots of sparkle and punches used and a Cream Viva Pearl Pen on the butterflies along with a piece of lace and the LOTV postcard stamp.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

So the reason I've not been in blogland much these last few days. My dog has picked up a parasite and is now on antibiotics, but I've had a few sleepness nights I can tell you. I wish I could have put a nappy on him!! lol. The tablets seem to be working but my sleep pattern is all over the place at the moment, nap during the day then wide awake at 10/11pm. Just a small matter, I have school runs every morning so no lie in for me - shame!!! lol</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">And I really must tidy my craftroom, (again). All of my 6x6's have fallen of the shelf and are scattered over the floor atm, and everything else is just a mess. Could have sworn I had a good sort out before christmas. lol. Never mind, maybe I'll get to make a sneaky card whilst I'm doing it and I need to make room for new stash on order. Didnt bother to make it a new years resolution as I new it wouldn't last. 2 weeks it pretty good though dont you think - hehe.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
I'm having a day indoors so if I stay awake I'm gonna have an hrs "me time" and catch up with your blogs.<br />
Enjoy the rest of your week and thanks for stopping by today. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Hugs</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54486/129/64E0F54E5A209FE23B27985C96290844.png" style="background: transparent; border: 0 !important;" /></a>xxx</div></div>CraftyChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09565717179478825295noreply@blogger.com78tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1215073143443510474.post-18522813243829934142012-01-12T23:59:00.000+00:002012-01-14T08:38:10.579+00:00Lilis Little Fairies DT Card!!<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Hs7kFl85UAM/Tw25vejU8AI/AAAAAAAAEEA/wOs5G3bPhzk/s1600/editeditedit.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="616" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Hs7kFl85UAM/Tw25vejU8AI/AAAAAAAAEEA/wOs5G3bPhzk/s640/editeditedit.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Not as easy as its sounds with so many gorgeous stamps available but I've gone with Rosy Posy, one of my old favourites. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">For the first time I've tried colouring on kraft. I'm sure theres room for improvement and boy do I love the white pencil. On this occassion I used my Faber Castell Polychromo's. The papers are a very old pad, K & Co Addison. A bit of distressing and lots of embellishments and punches.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Do hope you can join us again this week</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>THE CHALLENGE IS NOW LOTV STAMPS/IMAGES ONLY PLEASE</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I'm back to crafting and this is my first piece not only of the year, but also our first challenge over at <a href="http://liliofthevalleythursdaychallenge.blogspot.com/">Lili's Little Fairies</a>. When the LOTV Challenge shut down, Jacqui couldn't let all you Lilli of the Valley fans down as it was such a popular challenge so today we see our first challenge and this weeks theme is "New Beginnings". I opted to make a calendar to mark the start of the New Year. Didn't over embellish as the colours are so pretty and think they stand out all by themselves. I'm now on my new Windows PC after using a MAC for several years. The screen looks so different and I keep fiddling with my display lol.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So pop on over to the new <a href="http://liliofthevalleythursdaychallenge.blogspot.com/">Lili's Little Fairies</a> Challenge blog and see what gorgeous creations the rest of the DT have made. Some of us are from the LOTV Challenge but we have lots of new teamies who cards are just gorgeous.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small; line-height: 25px;">Firstly apologies for this weird post, different text, sizes, layout and all the added extra, not me. Blogger must be having an off day!</span></span></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 25px;">Hello everyone, I'm here with happy news and cant wait to share. I was on the LOTV DT for quite a long time and was so saddened when I heard that the challenge blog would be closing. But good ole' Jacqui came to the rescue and has saved the challenge blog under the new name of "<a href="http://liliofthevalleythursdaychallenge.blogspot.com/">Lilis Little Fairies</a>" and yep, I'm on the DT along with lots of other talented crafters. The challenge blog will be the same as before, just for LOTV products and we start again on the 5th January 2012. In the meantime there are lots of fab goodies up for grabs over at <a href="http://liliofthevalleythursdaychallenge.blogspot.com/">Lilis Little Fairies</a> so pop on over and take a look.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 25px;">Thanks Jacqui and cant wait to work along with my new teamies.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"></span></span></div><div class="post-body entry-content" style="position: relative; width: 536px;"><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;" trbidi="on"><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 25px;">Now sorry for my lack of blogging. Tis the time of year where my hands are busy shopping instead of crafting. Hubbys birthday the other day and last night we went and saw Daniel in his school production of Joseph. Lots of wrapping and the kids all break up today so will cram as much in as I can, although the weather here in Kent is pretty pants even a little snow flurry.</span></div></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;" trbidi="on"><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small; line-height: 25px;"> I doubt I'll have anytime to post anything before the new year but am gonna be back with some of my favourites.</span></span></span></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-size: x-small;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Happy Saturday everyone.Well its the first weekend in December and its not nice out there. Today our christmas tree goes up and we will decorate the outside with lights to. Zoes so looking forward to help me decorating it. I think I'm finally in christmas mode. Presents are building up and am making a very late start on my cards. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This weeks challenge over at the <a href="http://ceschallenges.blogspot.com/">CES Challenge Blog</a> is "Bear Necessities". I just had to use "James Bear" from LOTV, he's one of my favourite crimbo stamps. Coloured with Copics & Flexmarkers, papers are Bo Bunny Father Christmas Collection, distressed with my new Zutter Distrezz It All and for a first have backed with Kraft instead of Bazzill. The tiles are the Papermania S/A Wooden Tiles that must be discontinued as I can find them anywhere. Think I'm going to cry when I run out of letters. If any of you stamp companys want to manufacture something similar, I will be your first customer and buy in bulk!!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Not the best piccie due to the light but this card is so much prettier IRL</div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I'm taking them outside for the time being and just keeping my fingers crossed.</div><div style="text-align: center;">For my card I have used "<a href="http://www.liliofthevalley.co.uk/acatalog/Stamp_-_Summer_Lovely_Lilies.html">Summer - Lovely Lillies</a>".

Its Thursday and that of course can only mean a new challenge over at the <a href="http://liliofthevalleythursdaychallenge.blogspot.com/">LOTV Challenge blog</a>. This week we would like to see a Christmas Card for Someone Special.</div><div style="text-align: center;">If I'm honest I'm not happy with this card, maybe because I didnt get to do any colouring. I was feeling a bit off colour yesterday, and today have woke full of cold (sneezing while I type - eek). My mojo was not on form but had just recieved some new LOTV Die Cuts and was the perfect excuse to use one.The paper are DCWV Christmas Stack. I've added lots of Stickles, Pearls and a Viva Pearl Pen. The sentiment is computer generated and punched with an EK Success Ticket Punch.</div><div style="text-align: center;">In the meantime I need to get cracking with my Chistmas Cards and a few Family Birthdays. So if hubby moans, I'll threaten to spend all his money in Clintons LOL.<br />
Best stock up on tissues first as I think I'm going to need them today!</div><div style="text-align: center;">As usual my teamies have make the most gorgeous cards and remember there is the </div><div style="text-align: center;">LOTV <a href="http://ideastoinspire.blogspot.com/">Ideas To Inspire Blog</a> to.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Enjoy the rest of your week and back very soon with another card.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
