Stitch Me Up!


Back again with my second and final card of the day. Loo is still not fixed but my brother is coming over tomorrow to take a look and see if he can sort it out temporarily until Plumber comes early next week!

Right, on to business. The challenge on Tilda & Co., this week (just in again by the skin of my teeth!) is.....

"We would love to see your work involve stitches!!! Now this could be as simple as hand stitching, machine stitching, or even faux stitching....."



Decided to use the Teddy from Magnolia and coloured him with Brushables. Added a sentiment from the Just Hatched set from Papertrey Ink. Dark blue c.s. is Bazzill Bling and lighter blue c.s. is also Bazzill, with the small panel run through the Cuttlebug with the Hearts embossing folder. Stitches on outer edge of card are Doodlebug rub-ons as is the button. Ribbon is from Dovecraft, eyelets and ribbon (through eyelets) are from my stash. Tiny sticky gems are from Papermania.

Off to put the boys to bed now and then plan to sit down and catch up on my blogging.

Gorgeous. I have been thinking about a Cuttlebug for a while - and your card may have just swung it - love the effect of the embossing. (my birthday is not far away - I will leave hubby little hints around the house!)

WILL ALSO BE ADDING PHOTOS OF ENTRIES AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS POST FOR PEOPLE WHO DO NOT HAVE A BLOG. As promised, it's blog candy time. There are three reasons for me doing this. (1) My counter has passed 16,000 hits - wow! can't believe that! and I would like to say thank you to everyone who visits my blog.....would never have dreamed I would have so many visitors since I began blogging at the beginning of December last year! (2) It's my birthday in just over a week and (3) had some fantastic news - Tony (my husband) is coming home for good!! For those of you who don't know, Tony has been working in Australia for the past 15 months and we have only seen him twice in that time.....the last time being at the beginning of October last year! He should be home within a matter of weeks - he's given me the date of 10 June but

Hope you all have a great day!

Fancy a Magnolia?

Firstly, I'd like to say thank you to everyone who has visited my blog over the last six weeks. It's amazing, I really didn't think I would get so many hits when I started out. It really is appreciated. Now to the blog candy......I've thought long and hard about this and decided to do something a little bit different. The reason being, I think even though we enjoy making cards, we're all so busy with birthdays, challenges, and everyday life, so I thought I'd make it simple. I admit to being a bit(?) of a nosey old moo!! so what I would like you to do is send a link to a photo of your craft space. Don't worry how tidy(?)/untidy, small, big, whatever, your space is. Could be a room (I'd kill for one!), a corner of a room (like mine!), a dining room table. It doesn't matter, just add a comment with a link to your blog and if you haven't got a blog, then e-mail me a photo (my e-mail link is in my Profile). Just to get you started, here's my space
