One Of A Kind

Hello everyone how are you? Well I've not done any crafting or even colouring this week yet as Natalie is still poorly with her chest. Her saturation level kept dropping a few days ago so needed her inhaler a lot more. Today though she is quite a bit better hopefully she will improve from here.

Anyway I have got a card that I made a week or 2 ago, I have a few but havn't had time blog them.

I finally got to ink up another one of my Magnolia's that hadnt seen ink.

I loved this Tilda from The Sea Breeze collection straight away when I pre-ordered them........then I didnt ink them.......they are still sitting in the box they came in........how shocking is that :0(

Links to most items used are all in the thumbnails at the bottom of this post. Some are on the post & will be highlighted in red bold lettering as always.

All flowers are from WOC, I couldnt get anything to link up from there on thumbnails :0(

The 'Ornate Cameo Frame' is from Crafts & Me & I've used 'Delight Clay' which is super light. I use a few different clays & one of them is quite heavy compared to others. The sentiment inside I cut 2 words form some East Of India ribbon from my stash & layered them.

'Gucci Tilda' has been coloured with Distress Markers

I've used my fave paper, Maja Design & machine stitched them & inked them with walnut ink. Inside is also done to compliment the front. Both laces are from my stash as is the sentiment at the top. The corner mould frma I made with the same clay but the mould is from my stash.

Well thats it form me, I will catch up with you all during today & tonight. I have my granddaughter staying as always on a Friday so it will be once Payton is bathed & in bed when I visit you tonight.

Thank you soooooo much for stopping by, big squishy hugs to all mmwah

The papers are the gorgeous Echo Park 'Reflections' & I inked the edges with walnut & machine stitched them.

The lace & pearl are from my stash. The 'Scalloped Pearls' are from WOC. The butterfly is Prima.

I've used MB 'Fresh Foliage' die & Prima flower both from My Crafty Heart. I've also dabbed Gesso paint onto them. The rolled flower was made with MB 'Scalloped Posie' die.

The image is 'Circus Trixie' by the fabbylous Krista & I've cropped her & coloured her with copics.

PAPER PIECING

.......I love paper piecing although dont do it that often but its perfect for using scraps of paper. My first attempt the paper didnt show up as patterned on the photo, which is why its a different pic on the challenge blog. So I redid the paper piecing bit............

I've used the gorgeous MME 'Lost & Found - Portabello Road' I lurve the colours in this pad. I inked the edges with Pumice Stone distress ink & machine stitched them.

All the flowers are from WOC & the pearls are form my stash.

The blue lace & the lace with pearls attached are also from my stash.

The frame around her is Spellbinders Floral Ovals. Teresa also has the other stamps from this fabulous release, pop on over to here.

Inisde was decorated to compliment the front as always. I added a 'Bark Heart' then added a Whimsy sentiment on top, I cut out the oval centre & just used that. I also used another Whimsy Postage stamp from the same collection up the top left corner directly onto the paper. The half circle is a Marianne die. 

Pop on over & look at my teamies fabulous creations..........they are such a talented bunch of girlies ;0)

I also made Lime & Coconut cake yesterday afternoon...........

Anyhoo's a little while ago I got chosen as winner & asked to be Guest Designer over at Lilli's Little Fairies which has now changed to Crafty Little Fairies which means we can use ANY image!! How cool is that. So today is my first GD card & the theme is super easy..............

AUTUMN COLOURS

............see easy peasy ;0) 

I have gone with that fabulous paper pad again, Echo Park 'Reflections Fall' it really is full of gorgeous autumn papers. I've inked the edges & machine stitched them.

I've added a Prima 'Butterfly' & made rolled flowers & placed wooden beads inside from my stash.

The image is 'Shannon' from Saturated Canary. I cropped the image then mirrored it so she faced the opposite way. I coloured her with copics.........will add the list of colours later.

The die on the corner of the image is MB 'Lavish Branch' & I added a Prima Flower to the corner. 

Well thats it from me peeps, I will be back later with my Saturated Canary DT card. My cards were made last week & when I made them I didnt realise they both fell on the same day lol.

Challenges I'm Entering..........

A Creative Romance - Dies or Punches

Midweek Magnolia's Challenge DT Card - Come & get cozy with us

Hello there my lovelies how are you all? I'm sorry I haven't been around or been anything, my hubster & eldest son fitted me a new oven & hob the other day.  This stupid little voice after said to me 'Clean all the cupboards out & have a good sort out'............damn I hate those voices in my head..........so yep guess what I've been doing ;0(

Anyhoo's what you are really here for is to find out the next challenge at Midweek Magnolia's which starts today (ssshhh yes I know I'm late)............

WARM & COZY

.......we want to see either furry cuddly animals or you can use Tilda's if she has a coat on.

I have gone with furry & snuggly............I loved this stamp as soon as he was released.........

...............then it took me til now to ink him up........yep I'm hanging my head real low!! Isn't he soooooooo darn cute & I love him cus he's suitable for all year round.........shame it took me nearly a year to use him then!!!

The papers are the yummi-licious MME 'Vintage Christmas' which I've inked with walnut & stitched the edges with my machine.

The flower I made using a Marianne die & the paper for the flower & stockings are MME 'Mistletoe Magic'. The pearl & lace are from my stash, I machine stitched the lace in place.

The stamp is Magnolia's 'Coco With Present' sorry I cant link him I can no longer find him in the shop I got him from :0(

I coloured him with my distress markers but I wanted a vintagey look to him so added bits of black prisma pencil & blended using sansador.

I decorated the inside as always but made a pocket for tags to go into, one to write on & the other will be for a sentiment. The red check ribbon is East Of India, its so lush ;0)

The sentiment is LOTV 'Handwritten Phrases'. The doily & pearls are from my stash. The stockings are MB 'Precious Stockings' die. I've also added a gorgeous stocking charm to the bow on the ribbon.

Well I'm off to set some bread away in my brad machine, I found it yesterday tucked away at the back of the cupboard so its now permanently on the bench. I miss the smell of fresh bread. I'm ashamed I had it hidden it the cupboard :0(

Anyhoo's my lovelies thats it for me, hope you will play along with us this fortnight in our 'Warm & Cozy' challenge, we certainly are needing warmer clothes now, although we are still having the ceiling fan on at night in our bedroom & the heating hasn't gone back on yet...........strange!!

Tatty bye & thank you for stopping by, huge hugs to all mmwah

Vintage Book

Hello everyone how are you all?

I'm showing you something I made earlier this week, its took me until now to blog it lol.

Live & Love Crafts have a lush fabby challenge on at the mo & its an inspirational pic which I loved as soon as I saw it..........so I've gone for the colours, the vintagey feel & the books ;0) 

As this is a book............. sorry about this pic it was hard to photo.

Its a book that opens though.............I used this paper on the side as I thought the writing on the paper was perfect for it.

It opens up & I can store all my gorgeous Pion images in there..................its perfect for them.

The gorgeous image is Pion & I distressed it first then tripple embossed it with UTEE, cracked it & added walnut distress ink to give it a old look to it. Isn't she sooooo sweeti, think this is my fave Pion image.

Sorry about the light showing at the top, hubster fitted lights on my 3 units to light them up.

This is it in situ on my dresser in my craft room. The book next to it my hubster brought me about 5 years ago, he saw it in a shop that does handmade things & knew I would like it. I wasn't into crafting or anything like that then lol.
