Tilda and Friends ATC Challenges - Time to Sparkle

There's a new challenge site here which went live last night. It's for all you crafters out there who love Magnolia and the only rules are that you make an ATC (standard size) with at least one Magnolia and include the theme for the week.

This week the spec is

".....we would like you to celebrate our new venture and make your ATC sparkle! The rest is up to you...."

I've never made an ATC before but because the girls involved are all blogging buddies of mine, thought I'd give it a go! Please be gentle with me as this is my first one!!!


I coloured Tilda's dress and flower in her hair with Stickles, added some glamour dust to her wings and the spots on her wellies and coloured her boots and hair with Brushables. The patterned c.s. is DCWV Pocket Full of Posies with Sparkle. I used scraps of mirricard and bazzill (which I paper pricked), layered the c.s. and mounted Tilda with foam pads. Flower is from Poppicrafts and added some sticky gems from Papermania.

My Surprise For Tony!!

As promised, I'm back to let you in on my surprise for Tony tomorrow! Don't know where to start with this but maybe a little personal history first. When I married Tony in 1996 I was a UK size 14. I've always had to watch my weight and never been naturally thin but was never vastly overweight either. In March 1997 I fell pregnant with Lewis and that's when the trouble started.....the weight piled on and after he was born as well because I wasn't eating properly and just grabbing food out of the fridge when I had a spare five minutes.....oh, the joys of being a new Mum! Then I got pregnant again with Sam and even though I didn't gain much more weight during pregnancy, I made up for it afterwards! Am I boring you yet! It took me ten years and many failed diets to finally get serious about losing weight so I started my diet in January this year and this is the evidence....... please do not show the first photo to small children or animals as it may scare them !!!!!
