Well here is my Baby project I hope you like it:

I chose to use the super cute Baby Tilda from the Princes and Princesses 2012 Collection. I used my Cricut to create the oversized scalloped card and trimmed with my new favourite ruched lace. The beautiful sentiment is LOTV, the swirls are from a Marianne D die and the flowers are from my stash. As usual I have coloured my image with my trusty Promarkers and kept things light and fresh.

So get your thinking caps on and send a creation using pockets in some way. We are sponsored this time by the wonderful Bunny Zoes Crafts so why not give it a go.

Pink Princess Tilda gets all Shook Up

Morning all,
Hope you are all well and enjoying your weekend. I am off down South soon to visit family and attend the Windsor Horse parade this evening (just hope it stays dry as will not be under cover and no brollies allowed!!)
Anyway I just wanted to let you know that you still have a week to enter the fab challenge over at Totally Tilda. We want to see your Pink Princess Tilda creations and please remember Tilda must be wearing either a crown or tiara and she must be dressed in pink. Why not pop over and check out the wonderful DT's inspiration and send us an entry.

Here is my little bit of mid week inspiration

I have made this card for my beautiful niece's birthday which is today and she is already 4 years old, can't believe it she was only 12days old when she was our bridesmaid!
Ok well enjoy the rest of your weekend and I'll be back soon
Happy Crafting

Pretty Pink Princess Tilda

Hi folks,
Firstly a big thanks to everyone that came along to the shop yesterday for my first big event. We all had a fantastic time and learnt lots of crafty tips and techniques from the very talented John Glossop aka Mr Messy.
Now onto todays fab new challenge over at Totally Tilda and this time we want to see any Princess Tilda in Pink. We are sponsored this time by the fabulous Crafty Ribbons so why not give it a go.

We are sponsored this time by the fabulous Crafty Ribbons so why not give it a go as they are giving away a fab prize like this one:


I have chosen to use the beautiful Princess Tilda from the 2010 Fairy Tale Collection. I used crystal gems to give her a proper blingy tiara. The gorgeous castle is from the 2012 Princes and Princesses Collection and I so wanted to try colouring it in a really girly way, hope it works!

The DP's are from a really old Papermania collection and the beautiful sentiment is of course LOTV.

Little close up of the beautiful Princess Tilda

As always I coloured with my trusty Promarkers. Iadded faux stitching to most DP layers and everything is edged with Pumice Stone DI.

I am entering my card into the following challenges:
Simply Magnolia - 'A Card But Not a Square'
Magnolia Stamp Lovers - Use Flowers'
Midweek Magnolias - #9 'May Flowers'
Passion for Promarkers - #147 'Bright and Light' (I used soft muted DP's and used bright colours for my Princess)

Promise I'll be back soon to share more creations once I have caught up with some sleep as this week has been pretty stressful what with countless trips to Docs numerous blood tests and the demo day yesterday my body is definately wanting a rest!
Big Hugs and Happy Crafting!

O is for..........Orange at ABC

Good morning folks,
Well it's time once again for another fantastic challenge over at ABC and already we are up to the letter O, and this time the lovely Julie has chosen the colour Orange. I must admit that I feel pretty much the same way about orange as I do yellow (it scares me!). Anyway I have given it my best shot, and actually I really enjoyed the challenge, if the truth be known I got a bit carried away.
I haven't made a book box card for years but they seem to be popping up everywhere so I thought I'd give it another try. There are loads of tutorials out there including one in the Magnolia Ink mag so why not have a go.




















I chose to use the beautiful Tilda with Ballet Shoes from the 2012 Princes and Princesses Collection as well as Pink Tilda Ice/Ballet Princess and her shoes from the 2008 Pink Collection. I wanted a softer look for this little cutie so I used Desert Sand Memento instead of my regular black. Once again I coloured with my trusty Promarkers and Prisma Pencils
The gorgeous DP's are from the Boho Chic collection from First Edition.

I used some beautiful ruched lace to frame my oval and added pearls to just about everything. All edges were distressed with Pumice Stone DI and then topped with Diamond Stickles. I also used my 2 fave Memory Box dies, Elegant Scroll and the fabulous Catalina Wreath. I hand pricked most edges to create a faux stitch line for more detail.

I chose to fill much of the box cavity with some more gorgeous flowers and the fab sentiment is from the new Papermania Wellington collection.

I am entering this project into the following challenges:

Just Magnolia - #154 'Button's and Bows'

Magnolia Mania - #45 'Bingo' I chose Distressing, Lace and Tilda

Magnolia Stamp Lovers - Stitching Real or Faux

Passion for Promarkers - #146 'Cut it Out'

Paper Sundaes - #118 'Ribbons and Pearls'

Midweek Magnolias - #8 'Open Theme'

Simply Magnolia - Use At Least 2 Magnolia Stamps

The Stamp Man - 'Shabby Chic or Distressed Style'

Deep Ocean - #24 'Use Punches and Dies'

Happy Crafting

Hugs

Clare
