Season of Friendship

Wow what a weekend, it almost felt like we may get a Summer after all. I managed to spend most of Sunday in the conservatory crafting.

Well I thought I'd try my hand at the Challenge over on Passion for Promarkers. This week it was a great sketch and your choice of Promarker colours. I hadn't got round to actually using my Autumn collection from Whiff of Joy so I thought it about time.

Sorry the sun was a bit bright so the photo isn't the best but here it is:

Tilda with Rose

Hi, hope everyone is having a great weekend. I wanted to stay in a fresh Springy mood despite the rain outside, so I went back to my MME 'Quite Contrary' papers and created this card. I used the same freebie sentiment stamp I used on my last post as I have found it very useful.

Once again coloured with Promarkers and finished with Prima flowers and gems. Hope you all enjoy the rest of the weekend and get lots of crafting done!!

Tilda on Watering Can

Wow can't believe I am managing to post again so soon. Another Magnolia image but I was totally inspired by the MME Quite Contrary papers. The whole range is beatifully fresh and springlike. Once again went a bit mad with the Prima flowers but as this was a birthday card for my friend I knew they would be appreciated.

I love the new Hero Arts sentiment stamp that I used as the easel support. Sorry its not very easy to read in the pics but it says:

"Wishing you love and laughter good health and happiness on your birthday and always"

Not too mushy I thought.

The "Just for you" stamp was a freebie afew months ago on the front of the Docrafts Creativity mag.

Tilda And Edwin Take Over The Shop!!!

Good morning everyone. Hope you all had a great weekend. I thought it was about time that I posted some pics of my Magnolia samples that I have been frantically colouring in to display in the shop. I am so happy to be surrounded by Tilda and Edwin as they make even non crafters smile.
These have all been coloured with Promarkers. Hope you like em!

Sorry this one is on a funny angle but they are hung from the top of my pine dressers.

Just Sittin'

Good morning everyone!
Hope you all had a fun weekend. I have to confess to a little retail therapy on Sunday morning then the rest of the day was shared with my adorable Dexter and my crafting stash spread out across the entire lounge. What a great day!
Not really sure where this design came from I think it just evolved when I opened my BG Ambrosia papers. I absolutely love the Magnolia sentiment stamp and already have many more plans for it. Anyway I had better get back to work as I have lots more images of Tilda and Edwin to hang up around the shop.
Enjoy the rest of your day and happy crafting!

Special Birthday Kitchen Tilda

Hi, brrrr!!! how cold is it today. Well thought I'd better post again as it has been afew days.
On a completely non crafty note did anyone else notice just how bright the moon was the other night because clearly my spaniel Dexter did as at 1.30am Peter and I were woken by an amazing display of howling. Dexter was firmly planted in the middle of our bed and was quite intent on baying at the moon!!!
He looked so comicle that even after Peter had dozed back to sleep muttering something about a daft dog I still had a fit of the giggles and found myself to be firmly awake watching my little Were Spaniel as he snored in ignorant bliss!!
Don't really seem to have caught up on the missed sleep yet but nevermind, I have been awake enough to craft so all is not lost.

Here is another Tilda offering. I wanted to keep this one a little simpler so managed to drag myself away from my flower stash. Think it works but if the mood takes me it may still get the flower treatment.
