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

My First Challenge

THE ORIGINAL SKETCH.






Well here it is the first of many challenges I hope!


I have slightly moved the sketch around but still the same as the sketch.


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.












The front of the envelope and inside of the card.

Layered up beautiful butterfly wings,

the top layer is vellum and the bottom white cardstock.

A final look at the finished card.
