Willow sketchie # 1

As usual I was too late to submit this for last weeks challenge,

this was Willows sketchie #1

Here is my take on that great sketch.
The Cat is a Magnolia stamp,
Highlighted with gel pen,
to match the pink in the brad.
I hope you all like it!
Check out Willows Sketchies,
link at bottom of challenge blog list.
Better get cracking on the new one today!

I have been creative and clever!

I know that title sounds like I am blowing my own trumpet!

I am a great fan of challenge blogs,

loving the sketches we get a chance to play with.

My main problem was, I couldn't always remember

how a sketch was done. I had to keep going to the computer to

look. (big problem if it was being used by someone else!)

So I decided to make use of a book I had waiting to be altered,

by decorating the front.

Pictured below, and then hand draw each sketch into

this book for personal use when I wanted a sketch to follow.

Here is a close up of the front cover,

another big love of mine a Tilda stamp.

Of course I had to use a sketch on the front too.
This is a Saturday sketch #3
One I never had the chance to use in time for the
challenge blog.

With added ribbons to make it look even better!
Inside are the sketches that I really like and

will use again and again.

The ones I know who designed them will have

the name added with it so each time I use it I can then

tell everyone who it was designed by.

One sketch per page gave me room to show

it in detail as to how the sketch worked.

I know you probably wonder why i didn't just print them out

straight from the computer? My main issue is we

always run out of ink too fast!

Now I have a lovely book full of insperation just for me!

PS:- Thank you everyone for your wonderful comments,

I would be thrilled to know I have inspired others to

do this project too!

Thats the whole idea of showing things on my blog.

Two Birds with one stone ( Card really)

This is for two challenges!

Stamp something Friday, is called 'For the Birds'

So I stamped Tilda with her bird.

The other challenge is for Saturday Sketches Challenge.

Sketch #22

Here is the sketch #22Here is my finished card.

The only thing I havent done is add a sentiment.

I like to have a selection of cards ready for

any reason.

Tilda and Friends ATC Challenge 'Halloween Spooks'

Tilda and Friends Atc Challenge,

Halloween Spooks.

I tried to take a few close up pictures!

Little bit blurred (Sorry!)

I did a close up of the pumpkin, to show the

sparkle glitter pen highlight.


Here is the picture of the whole Atc,
Trick or Treat
I hope you all love this as much as I do!

Tilda and Friends ATC 'Golden Tones'

sparkle detail to them with glitter gel pens.

Tilda and Co Challenge # 41

Tilda and Co Challenge this week # 41

Called Rainbows

As soon as I read this the lovely handmade

papers came into mind.

To be honest I am not so sure about it,

would love your thoughts.

Thanks for taking time to look.

Tilda and Co Challenge # 40

I haven't had much time to do many Challenge's,

So here is on of my first for a very long time!
Tilda and Co Challenge # 40 asked you to use this sketch.

Well here is my take on it,

I doodled the leaf and berry pattern onto the main card,

to match the small amount of paper I have used on the card.

For some reason my layering went off to one side!

But I still consider it quite a good card,

I would love to know what you think about it.

A mixture of cards made!

I have struggled to finish this first card for my Husband.

Here is his anniversary card.

Inside I have used a paper from Funky hand's disc

I thought it quite suitable as we all

laugh, giggle, chuckle, smile and grin with each other.

Below is my first Christmas card made this year,

using a tilda image.

A cute purple card with a stamped image from cuddly buddly.

And Below there are three waterfall cards,

this one makes a birthday cake.

This one is quite funny starting with one beer,

until the man is on the floor after too many!

And the final one is being and angel or being a little devil!

Some Cards & stuff I should have shown ages ago!

I made these book marks for the school summer fair.

I was shocked to find that we sold quite a few,

but they were only 10p each.

Book Marks for the boys.
Some for the girls!
I added some fibres and ribbons to each bookmark,
which finished them off!
The Card below was for my father In-Law,
He seemed to like it.

I love this Tilda stamp.

Another card I made for Hubby this time!
Not my usual style but then I have been
through a time of not wanting to
craft for a very long time!

Thats all for now!

Tilda & Co Challenge # 21 'Thats torn it!'

The background papers being torn as the challenge states.

Tilda & Co Challenge # 20

Tilda & co Challenge #20

Is to Include beads on your project.

My project is a completed bookmark,

with ribbon and bead tassle.

I made a card for it to be given,

to make a complete gift and card.

I did some free hand doodles on the green

card where the bookmark sits.

Each time I took a picture though I got flash back

as the bookmark is laminated.

Here is the complete bookmark.


and again with the card behind.
The theme colours are mint green and pink.
A pretty combination.

Tilda and friends ATC Challenge

Here is my ATC for the 'Check it out' Challenge.

I decided to go all pink!

The doodles were done with blue ink.

Tilda and co Challenge # 13

MIX & MATCH
Mix & Match 2 Magnolia Stamp images together to make 1 Image,

Now this could be a simple as ,

Taking a Tilda Stamp with a Basket and removing this and

adding a Heart from another magnolia stamp

so she is holding that instead of the basket,

Or it could be as simple as Tilda's Head on a Magnolia Horse,

have a play and mix & Match your magnolia stamps

to come up with a Unique Magnolia Image.

Here is what I have come up with.

A tilda Cat witch ..

shame the mixed up spell went wrong!

Hope you like my Atc.

Some more Easter goodies!

I have finally finished the last easter Gift!

Here is the other Easter Pail for my son.

I was going to use the cute Bunnies from Sugar Nellie.

But decided to go for the Tilda Images.

Side one and two... This pail had two

images on it, just like the one for my daughter.

Here are the pails side by side.

I hope my children enjoy having these on Sunday.

I have decided to make a little package of mixed easter eggs

up for my other half.... then he will not feel left out.
