Tilda and her little bear.

What has happened to our weather? Today has seen heavy rain, heavy snow and thunder? Has Christmas come early? I do hope not as I'm still making my cards! Today sees Tilda having a wee hug with her teddy bear. This little darling was fabulous to colour.

Merry Tilda Christmas

I am making a very slow start on my Christmas cards this year! It really isn't going well at all. This one takes the number up to ten and I have a long way to go before I reach my target! Anyway, she's been coloured with copics and I have been using up scraps of things! Her glittery, sparkly dress and hat sadly don't show though. I am entering this one in to the Totally Tilda challenge Bingo themed challenge as I have used, ribbon, twine and gems.

Tilda obsession!

Yep, I have been playing with my Tildas! I do love her!

My Birthday present from my friend, Diane.

My dear friend, Diane sent me this gorgeous little Tilda for my birthday along with some fabby papers. Yes, I knwo aren't I lucky! She knows how Tilda obsessed I am......as is she!!! Or should that be " she was" as she has sold pretty much most of her Tilda's now. She did have an amazing collection, but luckily for me, I have been acquiring quite a collection of her Tildas and I can assure her that they have definitely gone to a Tilda loving home! This was the card I made her as a thankyou, with the stamp she bought me. lovely lady!

 It's been coloured with a combination of copics and promarkers.

Totally Tilda challenge and Kathy's Wild animal!

Hi, here's my entry to the Totally Tilda challenge, which is Tilda and diecuts and punches. It also fits Kathy's Sunday challenge of wild animals on the CMLI group on craftbubble.

New CMLI Craftbubble challenge

This week we had a guest design spot on CMLI and the fabby Debs provided us with a sketch and the twist was Night at the movies. Here's mine and my movie? On her majesty's secret service.

Promarker and Tilda magic

I'm having a real Tilda love at the moment, I can't seem to stop making cards with her. Having recently re-discovered my promarkers it feels like a new love affair. I have been prisma pencilliing for so long that the promarkers were gathering dust and stayed neglected for such a long time, that I had considered getting rid of them. I'm glad I stopped for a moment though, sometimes old things are just as good and need to be loved as new things and old things need nurturing too. Philosophical me today, I think, so here's some promarker magic using simsalabim Tilda , nitwit and pink petticoat papers, wild orchid roses and crystal stems, stampin up sentiment and one sacrificed button and organza ribbon.

Thank you Diane

This little card is going off on its travels to my friend Diane who lives in Manchester. It's a thank you card for everything she's done for me recently. I can't thank her enough for her kindness, patience and general loveliness and for those fab emails you sent that have made me laugh out loud. Thanks hunny, I needed it! You've  made these past few weeks of difficulty so much more bearable and sending hugs right back at you. I'm coming up for air now and hoping the wind changes ;0) Wish I'd been able to have a pink and grey schoool uniform ;0) x

My sweet friend

Here's today's creation using another Tilda from the raising the ceiling collection. I have been playing with promarkers again.....there seems to be a bit of a theme here doesn't there?! I am enetering this one into Dutch Dare card challenges where the challenge is to gain inspiration from the photo there.

Blonde Tilda

Here's Tilda as a blonde! This cute stamp came from my dear friend Diane. ( Thanks hunny!) Tilda has been coloured with promarkers, quite a lot of colours actually in order to get the skin colours right and the reds for the clothing. The die cuts are magnolia doohickey ( flowers) and docrafts nesties. I really like these and they are great value for money! The DPs are Pink Petticoat from the fairy dots collection. ribbon and lace is from my stash.

We were supposed to go out tonight, but sadly the snow has put paid to that. It's more rain like now but I'm not sorry to be stuck at home with my papers, inks and stamps. There will be more cards to come!

Tilda's Christmas stocking.

Do your eyes deceive you? Sadly not, it is another Christmas card to add to my ever growing pile! I shall be ready for Christmas this year no matter what and it looks like my piles will be enormous!!!!! I blame the post Christmas sales! They MADE me purchase these papers and Tilda which was reduced at Sir stampalot! Tilda has been coloured with a selction of prismas ( of course) The note stamp is a lili of the valley one and the dies used are doohickey ones.

Pretty Roses

Here's one I pre-coloured earlier! It's been sat in my pre-coloured box for ages and so this was quick to run up! Papers are trimcraft ones I think and they are all glittery and sparkly! Die cuts are magnolia ones and look, a button form my box....shock horror.....espcially as this is one of my favourites because it's spotty!

Holly Wreath Tilda

Isn't she a cutie? I just love that little wreath she is holding. I have opted for plain and simple on this one, one backing paper which is glittery, one tag, one ribbon and a piece of pretty lace. Simples!

Christmas skater.

This was me being very " over embellished" I got out a whole heap of craft stuff and just played, played, played! The background stamp is by Alota and I masked Tilda before stamping the background. I used a Martha Stewart icicle punch for the bottom and the ribbon was cheap stuff from the works, which actually was very high quality! There was also plenty of it. I punched the leaves and used lots of glitter and sparkle and flowers from Wild Orchid crafts. The button was prised out of my button box...with great difficulty! For those who know me they know how particular I am about my button box!!

Little female footie fan.

My offering today is for my Niece who plays football for the girl's county team. She gets mentioned quite frequently in the local newspaper and is doing really well. Her birthday is coming up very soon and these stamps are from the Magnolia winner takes  all collection. Papers are from nitwits  and colouring is of course prismas!

New Craftbubble CMLI challenge

The lovely Lauren set the challenge this week on the CMLI group. She posted this sketch for us to play with. Here's my interpretation using this pretty Tilda.

Tilda

Been having a bit of a play and here's an OTT embellished Tilda card!

Tilda meets a huge butterfly!

Here is my pastel pink Magnolia card. The papers are pink petticoat as is the sentiment and the butterfly is a Martha Stewart one. My thanks to a fellow Craftbubbler who kindly sent me this cute Tilda. The button is one form my precious stash!

Lauren's new cmli group craftbubble challenge.

Lauren wanted us to show off our birthday bling and by this she meant for us to show our ballons and streamers etc! I have gone for a tri-shutter card.  It's the first time I have made one of these and although it was time consuming I am quite pleased with it!
