First Challenge - Tilda and Co

This is my contribution to the first challenge on Tilda & Co. I made one of these Wish List books for my friend as a Christmas present and promised myself I would make one for myself but with more pages in!! The one I made for my friend was in natural colours (if you missed it, then it's under the label of Books) but decided to go for something really girly for myself....that's what comes from living in a house full of men!!


The challenge this week was to use a Magnolia image and flowers. I cut the covers myself from self-adhesive board and covered them in Karen Foster paper. The insides of the covers were lined with a cream K & Co embossed card. I embossed a piece of pink Bazzill c.s. with Cuttlebug swirls embossing folder and layered that onto some more darker pink Bazzill card. My image was coloured with Brushables with a little sparkle added to her wings. Ribbon, brads and flowers were added as embellishments and the lettering was cut on my Cricut with the George & Basic Shapes cartridge. Finally, I fixed it all together with my Bind It All.

Last of the Whipper Snappers (for the moment!!)

Morning all......is it morning already?!! Had a very hectic night.....got woken up at 1.30 am with the sound of vomit bouncing off the landing carpet!! Sam wasn't very well and didn't quite make it to the bathroom so spent most of the early hours of this morning trying to clean the landing carpet, the carpet in his bedroom, washing bedclothes and cleaning him up!!! Eventually got to bed at 4.30 am then was woken at 9.15 this morning by Sam asking me if I was getting up because his tummy was empty and he was hungry!!! Got to love 'em!! Anyway, at least he's feeling better. Got to try and phone the Carpet Cleaner in a minute and order Sam a new mattress as his is ruined....oh the fun of being a Mother!! Back to business now, here's a card I made during the week with one of my new Whipper Snapper arrivals. I don't know how often I will use this stamp but it was a case of "ooh, it's so sweet, I've just got to have it!!" I've coloured the snai...

I've Been Busy!!!

It's funny what happens to me when I lose my internet connection so I can't do any blogging.........I end up doing some crafting!!!! Well that's what happened yesterday afternoon and evening....my internet connection kept flicking on and off probably due to all the bad weather we experienced. Not quite so windy today but the rain is continuous! I actually finished my Easter Egg bags yesterday whoo hoo!!! Well, I say finished, I've got three more to put together but I have coloured the label and everything but I need to go to Asda and buy some more creme eggs and I'm not going anywhere today because I'm due a parcel delivery....hopefully, my camera! I hope you're ready for these photos....I was just going to put one picture on but thought hey, I had to suffer making them, they should suffer looking at them!!! The photos aren't very good I'm afraid and I'm proud to say that not one chocolate egg was harmed during the making of these bags......in ot...
