Girly But Blue!

Good morning all! Can't believe it's Friday again.....where has the week gone?!!

The challenge on Tilda & Co this week is......

"You don't see many girl cards/projects in blue very often. They are normally pink! Well I would love you to make your projects this week in BLUE! Has to be suitable for a female......"

I recently got some new Magnolias and have been wanting to use this one as soon as it arrived and when blue was mentioned, thought of Christmas! So this card will also fit in with Fab's Big Christmas Challenge......another two challenges in one card....what is wrong with me!!!

The stamp is Chilly Tilda and I've coloured her with Prismas and Sansodor and plenty of Glamour Dust on her wings, coat and hat (you may have to click on the photo to see this better). Also used the Goblin Tree Stump which has been coloured in the same way and Glamour Dust added to what should be moss (saw this idea on one of the ATCs on Tilda & Friends challenge). Cut out both images and fixed Tilda on the tree stump with foam pads. Papers are by Brenda Walton and have been layered with Bazzill Bling and mirricard. Slots were punched with my SU punch and Dovecraft grosgrain ribbon added. The sentiment is from Doodlebug and the sticky gems are Papermania.

Don't think I will have time to craft today as I'm meeting up with a friend this morning for a coffee and a chat and it's Tae Kwon-do night this evening which is always hectic! Hope you have a good Friday and will be back tomorrow!

Love it, great card Jo! I'm glad it isn't winter anymore, but it's still fun to see winter cards. Love that Tilda image and the way you've colored her. Especially like the fluff on her coat and the moss on the tree stump. Neat idea! :) Great blues and printed papers too. :)

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...
