"Tilda had a little Lamb"

Hello everyone,

Another great day....finished work early...still sucking up polystyrene...How on earth does it get into draws for goodness sake??? Silly old dog...He's still walking around grinning about it...

All good..had a lovely afternoon crafting...made 2 cards for challenges..if it wasnt for challenges I would probably sit here twiddling my thumbs...lol..

Followed a sketch at Simon Says and used this cute Penny Black stamp. Made the sentiment....
'Hang in there' here for you always....
The flowers actually in RL match the backing paper real well, but the photos make them look dark...Oh! this one isnt so bad...well, they are a bit  lighter than this...

My next card .....I love it...I only have one Tilda..a winter one...but this one was a stamped image sent to me...and I have waited so long to colour her and make a card, but was always so nervous....silly eh!!...


I'm so proud...just like a new mother..
This little pet is going in a challenge 'Use spots'7 Kids college fund well , I did, but then they nearly all got covered up.

Spots on both MME papers. on the butterfly, and a teeny tiny peak under the sentiment...you can just see them. Very pretty organza ribbon, and flowers from the dollar shop, pulled apart and rearranged.
Tilda coloured with pencils.

Well my friends thats me...I'm off for tea, have a great day. will catch you soon.

I MADE IT!!!!

WHOOHOO!!! everyone, hello, hello, I made......100 followers.

Thought it would never happen 10 months ago, but I got here...thankyou all so much.

You have helped build my confidence, self esteem, and given me so much inspiration, I'm so grateful.

16 more sleeps till my birthday and definately a CANDY.......

Two more cards, now that I have stopped swinging on the light fittings, pretty simple cards, and different for me.

I had no idea what I was going to do when I started, but I wanted to enter a challenge at  Fussy and Fancy challenge because I only had to use a zip or a feather...I went with zip.. as I had this cool tape that I purchased not long ago and wanted to use it. The card just built itself {dont know where I was }and I added this cute image from 'Dora' coloured it in and then sat and looked at it...Then the sentiment popped into my head, and I put bows on the top of the 'presents'. Different!!

The next one was a sketch at Challenge card patterns

This one was a goody, I followed it much easier...


Another simple wee card, but it felt right. It is for a lady who passes by my house, and if it is drizzling, pouring, or just plain raining, she scoops my junk mail out and brings it to my door..bless her..She never stays,  never a bother, she just does it. So I made this for her as she did tell me once that she loves 'Bambis'
The sentiment says' It's the little things' and the bottom one says ' thank you from the bottom of my heart'

Thats a sentiment I could have enlarged to send to all of you......

Thanks for stopping by,

Friends and Easter

Good Sunday Morning From ME!!!

I know...I'm always a day ahead....it gets confusing sometimes...lol..

Two cards to share today......I found these so pleasant to do, relaxing, calm, everything fell together so beautifully, BUT....I tried to follow a sketch for another card, and, OMG... I got sooo shirty with it. I binned it TWICE...what a waste of paper and card, but I could NOT follow the sketch yesterday. We wont bother where, it was only me....missed and layer, glued one sooo crooked, just was'nt thinking to well.

Then I started these ones.....had  blast..

The first is for a challenge at Flutterby Wednesday

I loooove butterflys, and especially my gold sticker ones.....

I love these MME papers, and I made vellum flowers with yellow centres, tried 3 but they were all the same size, so just put on 2..butterfly,  stuck onto MME paper and cut out, sentiment...stamped and cut out. and beautiful lace from stash. Finally did the pearl swirl, but thats all I had..lol..so made do...


The second card...animals...colourful....buttons...at Cooking it up with Katie


Used these bunnies from 'Meljen Desgin' a freebie, papers from stash [no name] lovely sentiment, and my Easter egg buttons, well just buttons really, but put some glitter on them as I dont have an oval punch, was just lucky to have 2 oval buttons, that look like Easter eggs.  A bright orange daisy from my stash, with some WOC roses tucked behind, and I really like using these label stickers, too bad I only had one sheet, dont where from, and most the good letters have been used.

An evenful day, productive as well, so all is good with the world..

Hope you all have a fabulous Sunday...when you wake up..lol..or if you are already up..have a great day.

Busy Busy Busy......

Hi! All...

Wow Wee.. saturday morn already.Where did Friday night go....I'm sure I was here...
I do remember watching a good programme on the box, but I must have dropped off, and missed the end..{sad old lady}...went off to bed...thats the last thing I remember till 'Harry' came in and nudged the bed for me to get up and open the door....have been blog hopping ever since, checking up on all the fabulous creations you all bombard me with early in the morn....Love,Love,Love it.

So many talented girls out there, I have to follow everyone as I dont want to miss out on anything. If I do, then I apologise, and will surely catch up with you. I nosey around everyday, allowing 3 hours on a Sat. morning, and 3 on a Sunday......Then I'm satisfied and settle down to make my creations...and here is the first



This is for a challenge at Joans Gardens
Colours:  peach & Blue/teal...butterflys..something frilly.
Had these teal and white daisys for ever so joined them all together, and the centres are pierced earrings.

The lace has tiny flowers along the edges..very pretty and frilly,and I added a tiny butterfly on the end of the branch...I actually have been away adding the butterfly, took another photo as I had forgotten to add one in the first photo...I read the instructions 10 times.....

                                       XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The second card is an Easel Baby Card....a challenge at Paper Romance


Closed.....


Open....



To the side...

Gosh, this took ages this time...struggled with the cutting..got it wrong and wasted heaps of papers.
The image is really cute 'Cody with Stars'....... don't all babies come from Heaven??

I had a little set of baby elements, buttons, teddy bears, and words, and toweling flowers, so used nearly all of them to fill up the gaps. Tiny square stickers spelling out 'welcome' and the shooting star. top right, is also a sticker.

Thats me for today, I think....but you never know..I could be back.

COLOURS

Hello everyone,

Yesterday I found a challenge and it was 'colours'.....butter/yellow
                                                                                Rose/pale red
                                                                                pale green
                                                                                lavender.....Didnt sound very difficult...through myself into it.....made a cute card using a greeting farm image - Little Dahlia...........coloured with chalks today..all going good......found papers....Now that it is finished I'm a bit worried as my button, and my beautiful leaf swirl [thanks Dora] are a bit bright..in the green department.

It's the paleset green I had, so if I have broken the rules, sorry, I'm still going to enter a challenge at..


   Claudia and company

I think its pretty, and as the sentiment says 'Have a Happy Day'

No.Nup, nada....

Hello everyone,

Dare I say this....it's a bit chilly today...I'm not complaining ..just saying...lol.

It was nice working like a trojan and not melting all over the pavement for a change.....Well, my day at work is over...time for some blogging....

My heading...all it means ..not a stamp in this card..nothing...

No stamps, not even the sentiment.
I made the card up as usual, and then used the cuttlebug and my largest oval die and cut out the centre, then behind the oval I layered all my scraps of ribbon, you know those bits you tuck at the back that are no good for anything because they are only 3" long. Well I dont know why I kept them... till now.

The pink ribbon at the bottom stuck out like..never mind..so I added a bow on it to break it up a bit,and the sticker butterfly was put on the ribbon that has the flowers on it, then cut  out. Sentiment is another gold sticker. Added a few half  pink pearls as it started going red to pink, so threw in some more pink.

So, my sweet friends, that is it. Thanks everyone for your fabulous comments of late, and hello to my new followers,,,getting up to the 100 mark....oooo the tension is mounting, I get so excited.

Thanks for stopping by, love you all to bits,
Luv CHRISSYxx
