Good tilda gone bad

Week 25 - Special Monthly Challenge - Flowers

Poor good Tilda gone bad she started of so sweet an angelic and ended up

very devilish ..... but still very cute.

It's been a while since I've joined in with the challenge's but loved it thanks

girls for letting me take part.

I loved the flower tutorial on Rachels blog, thanks Rach

My sizzix dies are looking sadly neglected these days so'

I decided to have a play about with them.

I'm going to experiment over the weekend with some

others so watch this space.....

chipboard albums

I finally got some time to make a couple albums
really nice change to make something pink and girlie..
I have just added them to ebay

Sixxiz ideas

My poor die cuts were sat on the shelf looking very neglected so I decided to

make some things for Lily to use in the holidays she's going to have a few friends over

for a tea party.

BUTTONS

Two challenges in one
Paper bag card and buttons.


Button/paper bag card challenge

The back view of the card.

I made a pull pocket for a really sweet letter Lily has

written to her which I'm sure she'll cherish for years to come.

I also decorated a brown paper lunch bag for the chocolates.

The chocolate box was my inspiration for the colours I used.

Hannah's flown the nest...

Wow where does time go????It's been a month since my last post (how bad am I?}
Well I have good reasons, Hannah,Chris and the twins finally moved into there own home
last week,they have flown the nest.....
It's sooo quiet here now and empty I have two other children but still very strange now they have gone ,they only moved 5 mins away so I will see plenty of them
Mornings are the wierdest not getting up and seeing there smiling faces even though I still have a full house I now understand the empty nest syndrome feeling ,bonus side I have much more time to craft now
Going to do some now so good-night to you allx

I had loads of fun doing this one,thanks to the girls at


( just magnolia) for letting me join in.










Here's a look at the stamped images,which I them heat


embossed with chocolate brown,coloured with copic's


Colouring the image was a bit like the velvet art pictures,you


have the raised edges so you don't go out the lines.

Layered up beautiful butterfly wings,
