Here comes Tilda...again

Well it is time for another Tilda Challenge, and unfortunately my mojo seems to have gone walkabout so this has spurred me on to get cracking again. Things just haven't gone right recently, totally uninspired and things have gone into the bin. Ha ha ha. This challenge had to be made in this layout and able to fold up, having worked out how to make it from an A4 sheet of plain card it seemed to go reasonably smoothly.

It's those TH butterflies again

My friend's daughter had a lovely surprise whilst they were all on holiday in Norfolk recently, her boyfriend, out of the blue, and whilst they were on Holkham beach, suddenly proposed to her....what a shock, and it was her birthday too.

Aaah, just soooo romantic.

I wanted to make them an engagement card, and of course, you like to do something different to the shop bought ones don't you, so I masked a heart shape and inked with TH inkpads in two different pinks, and yes, I think I'm hooked on this butterfly and foliage stamps so used those......again ha ha ha

Simliar but not quite the same!!

This card is a take on the one in the Craft Stamper this month, my dragon flies are larger, and less of them as I couldn't fit so many on the card!!!!!!! and the 'splodges' aren't splodges but made with a stamp... still it is near enough to the original, and I feel reasonably happy with it. Makes a change to do something different.

Remembering a dear friend.

A very dear friend died a few years ago, at a young age, leaving a 7 year old daughter. For varying reasons we don't see the husband (remarried and new wife doesn't want contact with the past etc etc etc!!!!!!!). Anyway it would be our friend's birthday on Sunday, and I always try to remember to send a card to her mother, who really has never got over the loss of her youngest daughter. I feel she might quite like this image.

House Mouse Anniversary cards

Two wedding anniversaries to send cards for this month and thought these House Mouse images were perfect for such an occasion. I had a non stop morning with various things, taking the garden rubbish to the tip, stopping off at a shop for a couple of things, filling the car with fuel (expensive or what!!), and a visit to the docs to sort out this deaf ear of mine and get prescription from chemist....home to wash feet (what do I hear you say) well I had to head off to the Podiatrist and after all the running around didn't want to go with smelly feet Ha ha ha, so put the dogs in the car, got the feet sorted, walked the dogs, and went to do my duty and vote. Soooo I thought I deserved a bit of play time and made these cards.

I hope you like them.

Easel card

I've made this card for my niece's birthday at the weekend. It's actually an easel card but as I can't photograph it you will just have to imagine it standing up ha ha ha. I've used Distress inks to 'watercolour' the image

I know it's late

Ok, I know Easter has been and gone....I've made this card for my son to give to his eldest daughter (who doesn't live with him...sadly...he will be seeing her next week) Instead of an egg I am sending some money over which at 14 I think she will appreciate more.....I believe she had rather a lot of eggs anyway.

Tilda Challenge

Here is my latest Tilda Challenge, I made another of the treat holders and will pop some money inside for my grand daugher's holday. I enjoyed making these holders, so much so that I made 7 for easter and popped some mini eggs and a chicken inside the bag and gave them to my grand children and other ladies that were together over Easter. I have to say they all loved them, in fact I think the children were happier with them than the actual Easter eggs we gave them.

What a glorious Easter break we had with the lovely weather, certainly makes a change to have a bright and sunny bank holiday.

Treat holder Challenge

This month's challenge is to make a treat holder, and the theme.....can you guess....yes, black and white.

This started off as a plain piece of white card, I stamped it with the Tim Holtz butterfly stamp and floral flourish, as well as a spotty background and a scribbled stamp too...the scribbled stamp has some foil over it but it doesn't show up on the scan. Inside you had to put a bag with some flower 'treats' inside. All I have to do is get to the post office and post it off!!!

Not today though as one of my dogs, Bennie, (the dog made up of all the bits God had left over) is in the vets having his teeth cleaned and a dew claw removed, so I am bit lost today and waiting to hear from the vets as to when I can collect my baby......Monster dog (Chester) is being very quiet, so I guess he is missing his pal too.

Money'gift holder

I made this money/gift holder for a challenge, it had to be pink and grey and have at least three tags inside.
