Tuesday Love!

Afternoon, lovelies!….Hope your all well today and wrapped up warm….it's bloomin’ freezing…..me and little Ted have been fighting over the heater in my workroom this morning…..Teddy Bear won….by a clear mile LOL…little devil.  He did share the heaty love by lying on my feet, though,….so not all bad LOL…..but the rest of me is chilled to the bone……..so I’m cranking up that old heating this afternoon and throwing on a jumper :o)…….then I am getting down to some hooky as I have loads of WIP’s that need my attention :o)…..hopefully that will warm me up a bit LOL…….can’t wait to say bye bye to January and say a big warm welcome to February :o)

Anyways today, I am sharing another Magnolia card made using one of the Sweet Crazy Love Collection…..really really really love this collection….its right up there with one  my faves :o)  This Tilda is called Tilda with a Heart Chain

I have gone all pink and blue again, loving this combo….so I dug deep into paper stash and fished out some of those delish papers from last year by The Girls Paperie….truly {HEART} them so much!

Coloured again on Kraft Card……I likey that craft card muchly :o)…..

I have used some of that divine Pleated Satin Ribbon for the Ribbon Girl again and I have teamed it up with gorgeous White Guipure Lace…..so pretty!  The Crown Pin and the Mini Rose Buds are also from there too.

The sentiment is by Papermania, and the rest of the flowers are from stash.  The doily is from The Hobby House and the butterfly is a Martha Stewart Punch.

I have coloured Tilda in with Prismacolor Pencils, blended with Sansodor.

For the inside I just stamped around the edge with the Magnolia Loving Border Stamp and one of the stamps from the Vintage Garden Set by Stempelglade.

Thanks for stopping by….see you all again soon, lovelies!

Happy Thursday!

Hey lovelies, hope your doing well!

Thought that I would pop on and share another Magnolia card with you…….loving this new Crazy Love Collection…..so many stamps that can be used for so many occasions……fab when its like that :o)….this one I have used is called Tilda Sending Love Letters.

I have gone for the narrower card again today…..I have a funny feeling that this shape is my new fave, as just knocking those 2cm off the width makes it some much easier for me to fill with all my embellies……and you know me Tab loves her embellies :oD LOL……

………so then, do you like the papers that I have used {that's if you can see them under the sea of embellies LOL} I found them when I was on one of my Pinterest sprees, and they are from Here……and do you know what the best bit is…..they were freebies :oD….there are a few others in different colour ways too, so go check out the rest….but I have to say they printed out beautifully and found them very true to colour too {on my printer that is, remember different printers can vary}

The colours I have used tie in with the challenge over at the Ribbon Girl blog…..its Blue and Pink….not long left to join in so hop on over and take a peak :o)….whilst you are there, have a look at the Giveaway that is on offer too……..little felt mice pincushions made by Gail…..tooooooooo cute for words!

I stamped and coloured the image on Kraft card, ….I find when colouring on Kraft card you have to keep going, as to be honest when you start it doesn’t look great but as you add further colour all of a sudden it starts to pull together and look half decent LOL……I very nearly threw this away, but I carried on and it came out not too bad in the end.

Do you like the Pleated Satin Ribbon……I {HEART} it so much, and if you want any its from the Ribbon Girl, as is the lovely White Cotton Lace, Heart Charm, Crown Pin, Crazy White Mesh {love this stuff so much {its poking out of the flowers}, so need to get some more in other colours}, and the mini Rose Buds.

The rest of the flowers are from Wild Orchid Craft and the Doily is from The Hobby House.

The sentiment and  butterflies inside are by Magnolia, and the Carte Postal Stamps and all the border stamps are by Stempelglade. 

I have coloured Tilda with Prismacolor Pencils, blended with Sansodor.

The inside has been decorated very very simply using some of the Stempelglade stamps and my fave Magnolia Butterflies.

Well that’s all from me today, thanks for stopping by and I shall see you all soon! 

Have a great day, lovelies!

Happy Tuesday!

Good morning, lovelies!  How are we all today…..did ya have a good weekend?!?  Mine was good, little bit of yarn shopping, lots of hooky and a little bit of relaxing…….all fitted in between the usual weekend chores of cleaning and food shopping…..so all in all, not a bad one :o)…..one thing I can be sure of it certainly went super duper fast!

I have gone for a slightly different shape card…..I fancied a change from square LOL……this one is 13 x 15cm and I have to say I really like them this size.  The sweet image is by Magnolia and from the New Crazy Love Collection…..Pie Tilda, she looks deep in thoughts………

How gorgeous is that Blue Stripy Ribbon……utterly delish, me thinks and if you want some its from the Ribbon Girl……along with the Crown Pins, Rose Buds, Large Button {this was from one of the mixed bags}, Button Twin and not sure if you can see it but behind the flowers there is this totally fabulous White Mesh, just sprouting out {its hard to see it as its against a white background……but it is gorge stuff, deffo recommend you all getting some :o)

The papers are a mix of Craft Creations and I think the stars one is out of a multi-pack….perhaps Forever Friends of something like that….I got it from my local craft shop and they split the packs up and then forget who makes them LOL….

The Die Cut border is by Magnolia as is the Star Border Stamp.

Tilda has been coloured using Prismacolor Pencils, blended with Sansodor.

I have very lightly decorated the inside to compliment the front……I have using one of the Mini Magnolia stamps inside too….they are so perfect for decorating the inside of cards.

Thanks for stopping by today…..much appreciated!

Have a great day and see you all soon!

Good Morning, lovelies!

Hope I find you all well today on this rather damp and drizzly day.  Thankfully it is not as cold as yesterday, but I have to say I much preferred the dry crispness of the air yesterday…plus as well the sun was shining and that really does help with the old mood…doesn’t it?

Well today I thought that I would share with you another Magnolia card that I have been working on :o)……Now I have used one of the Sweet Dreams Christmas images, Tilda with Winter Flowers…….I have to admit that she is my fave from the Christmas Collection……I absolutely {HEART} her….such a gorgeous image, totally and utterly love her little cardy….tooooo cute!

Anyway, I thought that I would go all pink for this one and have teamed her up with some gorge Raspberry Road Digi Papers…..these are from Fight Like a Girl Collection and it is deffo one of my fave collections, such a delish shade of PINKNESS!!!!

 

My pics have a slight darkness to them today, cos the light is totally and utterly PANTS!

Anyway, the delish Vintage Cluny Lace, and Seam Binding are from the Ribbon Girl.

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, The fence die cut is by Magnolia.  The sentiment is by Elzybells {sadly no longer trading}  The cheesecloth is from my stash.

 

I have coloured lovely Tilda with Prismacolor Pencils, blended with Sansodor.

All the papers have had their edges distressed with Walnut Stain and I have stitched them all with my sewing machine.

For the inside, I just kept it plain simple by just adding a little Mini Magnolia image…….I love the mini’s they are perfect for adding detail to the insides :o)

 

Anyway, I will love you and leave you, thanks for stopping by today!

Happy New Year {sorry at bit late LOL}

Afternoon my lovelies……..hope that you are all doing well and had a good Christmas and New Year…….apologies for my absence but I have had the awful lurgy last week and so the crafty workshop door never got opened, let alone me sit at the desk LOL….the most I did last week was a bit of crocheting in front of the telly and trust me that nearly wore me out.  Thankfully though now I have recovered almost to full working order, still got a little tickly cough but other than that I am good.  I worked out the other day when I last had a cold and it was nearly 4 years ago…..so that is not bad going, eh?…….I know I am a rather good when it comes to illness and so its not often I get struck down with much…..she says LOL…….

Anyways I thought that it was about time I fired up the old blog and post something as its been awhile.  I have so many things to share that I never got round to due to illness and Christmas, so I thought that I would start with a card :o) that I made before Christmas………talking of Christmas, I was very very lucky this year as Santa bought me a new camera :oD…….I am now the proud owner of a Nikon DSLR and I am still grinning from ear to ear……I have had an DSLR before, but sadly it died before Christmas and so since then I have been using my iphone, and the pictures weren’t bad, but I could tell the difference, they were just not as crisp…………anyway, I have not took this picture with my new camera, cos its was a card I made before I had it……..but I have been having a play and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it :oD

Enough waffle, here is my card…….I have used one of the older Magnolia images, which you can only get direct from Magnolia…….but I love the image :o)

The papers are by Magnolia too, as is the Star Border and the doohicky die tag.

The Spotty Ribbon is from The Ribbon Girl.  The rose ribbon is from The Hobby House and the butterfly and flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

The border punch is by Martha Stewart.

The image has been coloured using Prismacolor Pencils, blended with Sansodor.

This is one of my fave colour combos, and I love this shape of card too :o)

Well that’s it from me today got to get back on!……..

Anyway, see you all soon!
