Tilda Sunday

It's been a grim day today in 'sunny' Yorkshire!  It's just about light now and its nearly 4pm!

I've finally gotten the Tilda bug and my hubby 'acquired' me some tilda images off the old interweb so here goes

 This is part of the paddington bear kit that I got from create and craft.  I've finally made one of the extra makes from the kit, although i'm not very happy about the fastening on the 'suitcase' as it keeps unsticking.

Bearing in mind I got my martha stewart punches for mothers day, it's taken me a month to work out how to use them properly! Thank you to Toni over on MSE who sent me the instructions a while ago as mine were missing out of the pack, it still didn't allow for lack of common sense and it's taken a month to work out that the corner punch has wings in order to line it up!

Anyhows, here are my creations today, it's made use of the nice new flowers i've bought, my aqua markers, and the punches.

This is using the new Tulip range from Do Crafts - which you all know by now I am an avid fan.  It's using one of their card packs that has everything in so nice and easy!

 This is also using a Tulip image, but I have used the MS punch and flowers to decorate.  I stuggled to attach the flowers, I ended up using their wires and sellotape to fasten them to the back of the backing paper.

 This is my watercolouring skill with Aqua Markers!

 This is using a forever friends celebration kit.  My colleague has got engaged, although it's not official until she receives her ring as she's ordered it, but i've told her that as she's told me she's getting a card! I've added T+L to the tag to make it more personalised.

4 days off work.....and only 3 cards made!

I went to our local Range on Saturday to see if I could pick up the new Do crafts mag, but was told that it wasn't out until the Sunday, came home and ordered it online instead!   They are very simple and easy cards, but at least I made something!

Here are my makes, i've only done them today.  Was gardening Saturday afternoon and went to the Childrens Festival at Harewood House in Sunday so busy for me.  Did watch some of the wedding on Friday but I'm not good with weddings at the best of time, find them very boring!

MSE Challenge Card

Have bought some of the tatty teddy collection and this is my first card using one of the stamps.  I would like to enter it in to flour girls MSE challenge

Crafty Ribbon.....or should that be button......creation

After much thought, and a weekend in Fleetwood, these are my two crafty button creations.  I'm quite sad to have to send them off as i'm sure I can find uses for them........but i'm sure I can recreate them!

Easter Bunny is a coming.........

Evening all, after putting my new craft draws together on saturday I have managed to find some of my stash and make some cards!

 These two cards are for my nephew's birthday, which is tomorrow.  The Ben 10 card idea has come from here which is my new favourite site!   The 2nd card is using Serif Card Maker Platinum program.

 Paddington Bear is very special to me. When I got married, 4 years ago, there was a Paddington on our bed in the hotel we went to for our honeymoon.  We had to pay for him, but it reminds us every time we look at him sat on our landing what a great weekend we had, even if I was 6 months pregnant at the time!

This is the topper for the first of my crafty ribbon button competition thingy.  I really love the stamps, don't have a clue what to do for the 2nd item though. Hopefully a weekend in Fleetwood will get me thinking.

Mothers Day Cards

Evening all, stangely quiet in our house, calm before the storm me thinks, which means my two are going to be a nightmare tomorrow just to make Mothers Day extra special!

These are the cards I've made today.  2 for the MIL and one for my mummy to add to one I made her a few weeks ago.
