About Me

My Photo
Hi my name is Tab and I'm married to Leigh, and we live in a little village in Leicestershire, UK with our very cuddly Shih Tzu called Teddy and between him and Leigh they make me laugh each day! I love to spend my time either doing a bit of crocheting or inking up a rubber stamp....truly love both and I love to dabbling in a bit of cake decorating too :o)

Sweet Christmas Dreams – Ribbon Tilda!

Happy Happy Friday to you all!  

Yayyyy, been looking forward to this Friday, as I am off to Blackpool to see the lights……..I have not been for years and years and years….my Gran used to live there when we were little so it was a favourite haunt of our families……so it will be nice to go back and re-live some family memories :o)

Anyway, just want to say a massive thank you for all the lovely emails and comments that I got on yesterday’s post……you are so kind to me :o)

Well lets get down to business, today on my card I have used one of the gorgeous stamps from the latest Magnolia Stamp Club – Ribbon Tilda……what a little cutie patootie she is……Now this stamp can deffo be used for any occasion, which is perfect….

I have, however, used her for a Christmas Card LOL……but I have used non traditional colours LOL….

The papers are some I have had for years and years, but have never wanted to chop them up LOL…..they are by Craftwork Cards and I think I picked them up from one of the shows I went too.  Looking at their website, though, it doesn’t look like they make them anymore :o(

The spotty pink ribbon, gem button, and baker twine are all from The Ribbon Girl.  The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, and the pearls are from The Hobby House.

The sentiment is out of one of the Fizzy Moon Sets and the Snowflake stamp and the inside sentiment stamp are by Magnolia and part of the Stamp Club Kit.  Die Cut Heart is a Doohickey Die.

My image has been coloured with Copics and Prismacolor Pencils {I buy all my pencils from 1Buy1 Pencils}

I have very simply decorated the inside, nothing fancy.  All the paper edges have been distressed with distress inks and then stitched with a sewing machine.

Thanks for stopping by today, hope that you all have a fabby weekend!

Have a great Friday!
