Tilda atc goodies

Here are my goodies that I won for my Tilda in Bloom atc, over on the Friends of Tilda challenge Blog. I received my assortment of papers and stamped images from Annie, whom also made me the most adorable little atc and card. I am new to atc's and don't have many, so you can imagine my joy when this little beauty popped out of the parcel. I also have to say a big thank you to Gill, she was sent the parcel by mistake ane very kindly passed it on. I have had my Grandson for the past couple of days and haven't been able to do any crafting or blogging. But I shall make up for it over the weekend.

A spoon full of sugar Challenge 6

Here is my entry for this weeks spoon full of sugar challenge 6. This week's theme was to use circles. I have used the new Dana stamp from Cuddly Buddly. I think she'e pretty wonderful and can look so different when put together in brights or pastels. I have used Shabby Princess papers and the small nellie's circle multi frame die. I've added some flat back pearly gems from my sis and a bit of ribbon.

Grandad and Uncle cards

I made these 2 cards this morning, they are from a list of cards that my Daughter Catherine would like me to make for her. They are mostly male cards ( which I don't really like doing ) I prefer nice girlie ones. But saying that, I must say that Kim over at cuddly buddly has some great downloadable graphics, that come with tags and backing papers and everything. Which makes life so much easier. These are from her range known as local lads, my Daughter chose this graphic and wanted the same chap for both cards. I have decoupaged the images. I didn't want to do the same card so changed them slightly. they are for Grandad and Uncle.

A Stack of Ellies challenge

Here's my mid month stack of Ellies cuddly buddly blog challenge, I really enjoyed this one, the Ellies are such a lovely image to work with. I printed it on grey Bazzill, added a bit of water colour pencils. I glazed the coloured bits and I strung some seed beads.

A spoon full of sugar challenge 5

I noticed this challenge whilst blog hopping and it certainly appealed to me, so, this is my card for the check challenge. Two of the backing papers are from Shabby Princess, the pink check which is closest I can't remember it just from my stash. The image is of the wonderful Emmy from Cuddly Buddly, she's such a sweetie to paper piece, the flowers are prima and the gems from my sis.

Penny Black Saturday challenge 3

I had a quick peek over at the Saturday Penny Black challenge blog this morning as I was awake early. This weeks theme is Pink, Brown and Green, so I had a go and came up with this. I have used brown polka dot backing paper, pink Bazzill and coloured the stamp with my Prisma pencils, I'm still getting to grips with the sansodor and this is the first thing I have done which I've posted, a couple of prima flowers. I thought to myself I really want brown gems - well - then I remembered that the last lot of gems my sis sent for me had some different colours in and guess what - yep - brown gems. I am so easily pleased.

Tilda atc challenge Summer in Bloom

Here is my entry for this weeks Tilda atc challenge. The main image is one of my Tilda's, I have stamped lots of flowers in 2 sizes from stamps by create-it and layered them on top of each other. The words are made from little alphabet stamps by studio g. All the pieces have been made from Bazzill card stock.

Sofie's 18th Birthday card

This one is for my Daughter Sofie who will be 18 shortly, this is our favourite nick name for Sofie who makes a drama out of everything. I have used 4 pieces of A4 card in total . One for the base, two for the gate fold then another one to cover the join at the back and add a bit more strength. I have used white linen card and Bazzill card stock the gingham is from a cd from carolannstudio. The Dana stamp has been paper pieced. She's gorgeous and one of Kim's new range from Cuddly Buddly. I made the template in Greeting card Factory imported the crown , printed off then coloured and glittered it. This card has many wonderful gems on it which my very wonderful sister from Oz sends me.

Pink Petticoat Turtle

This card is also for my son's friend, again I have used an image from pink petticoat, this time the Turtle. Shabby princess papers, some sizzix circle frames, I have also glazed the shell of the turtle. Another quick card.

Pink Petticoat Lion

I made this for my son's friend I have used a Pink Petticoat image of a Lion, some shabby princess papers, a few stamped swirls which are from an Autumn leaves set Mindy's flowers, a bit of stickles and some glittery cord and hey presto, really quick to make.
