Tilda waiting sing....also Mojo Monday Challenge 121

Hi there

I seem to be on a bit of a roll at the moment with my cards.  I have finally used the gorgeous Tilda stamp from the Cristmas Magnolia Stamp Club along with the Piano..and had another go at masking which I am quickly falling on love with.

I have followed the Mojo Monday Sketch Here and have kept it quite simple, I think she should be the main focus of this card.

I have coloured her in using Copic's ( sorry I don't remember the colours) I have put glossy accents on the black piano keys so they look lovely and shiny.

The corsage I made using the Bazzill Tulle from
Craft Obsessions. The Flower is a Prima Painterly and in the centre of that flower is a gathered pink rosette with a silk rose in the centre. The charms came from NJ ( Michaels) along with the Martha Stewart giant punch and the pearls.

Isnt she adorable...a close up of the corsage..

Thanks for looking, I love your comments

Happy 2nd Birthday Mia Moo

It was our Goddaughters 2nd Birthday on Monday and I made her this card ...the Magnolia image is so her...I choose quite a simple design, and got to use one of my 14 Martha Stewart Border Punches that I bought back from the US with me in November.

The paper was given to my by Vickie..Thanks and the image is coloured using my new Copic Ciao's. I am still learning the art of making the image not appear flat..I surf lots of webistes and blogs and try and pick up hints and tips. I'm sure I will get there one day !

Mia-ann had two parties and as her Godparents..we got to go to both which was great fun.

Thanks for looking

Helloo....

Well I bet you all thought I had vanished off the face of the earth...no still here I am afraid, I just seemed to lose my mojo a little. I still haven't found it completely but I am getting the first thrills of making cards again when I try something new...

Here is a very simple card I made for our very good friend Carol for her birthday last week..



I have used my favourite Crate Paper in the Katlin range, the image is Tilda from the spring collection and I have used my new Martha Stewart Lace Doiley Punch which I LOVE...apparently they are very hard to come by so I class myself as very lucky to have a friend in the US who sent me it ( Thanks Barrie - Love you x)

Tilda with Ladybug....

Well here is another card made using the new spring kit from magnolia...Isn't she adorable.. I have used the sketch on the Mojo Monday blog here.. http://mojomonday.blogspot.com/2009/03/mojo-monday-week-78.html

 I have used new papers from Craft Obsessions called Delight by Fancy Pants, the colours are delicious..I love them.I have also used one of the ticket stamps from the new Hero Arts range and the obligatory crystals ad ribbon. The card is for my oldest friend Karen ( oldest as in we have been friends 33 years in April - not because she's old - although she is older than me I have to add...sorry Karen !! )

here is a close up..

Happy Birthday Karen, hope you have a lovely day xxx

Tilda the Butterfly Girl.....

I said I would show you a card I made using my new Magnolia spring stamps...Here is Tilda and how cute is she...

I have used the beautiful Bloom and Grow papers by My Minds Eye which I love...again these are from my friends at www.craftobsessions.co.uk I have used a few Prima blooms and for the first time I have used my new circles and scallops Nesties which I have had on order for what seems like forever..

Here is a close up

I made this for a very good friend for her birthday this week...I hope she likes X

Happy Birthday Dad...65 Years Young....

I want to say Happy Birthday to my Daddy today as he is 65, and to show you the card I made for him... I would also like to enter this for the Magnolia Vs Stampavie Challenge at http://magnoliameetsstampavie.blogspot.com/2009/01/week-10-show-us-your-bows.html

This is quite a simple card on my scale of things...I stuck the handmade spotty paper to cardstock and cut out the numbers. I matted theRed with Gold Mirri card and then plain green card which I stamped the edges in gold with flourishes.  Edwin is coloured in with Prismas with stickles on his wings and I tied a bow and stick a couple of gold headed pearl pins through.

Here is close up of Edwin...

Tilda with a rose....

Well here is another creation of mine...I have decided like so many other card makers that I will put ingredients with my cards and try and make the whole thing look a bit less heath robinson !! So here goes....



The Papers : Basic Grey " Sugared"

The Stamp : Magnolia - Tilda with Rose

The Extras : Flower from Prima, Stick on pearls, Ribbon from stash,

and here is a close up of her, she is so sweet and the colours have been bleached out by the flash a bit and are much warmer in real life.

Tilda and Edwin on Skates

I made this card for our good friends Rob and Carol, the stamp came from the Magnolia winter kit and I love it.  I have used my trusty Prismacolor Pencils, felt flowers and paper from a blue christmas paper stack form the range.



and here is a close up of them..



Hope you had a lovely Christmas....feel free to leave me a comment... X

We spent today in Bath and had a lovely time just mooching around the shops and I finally got to go and have Coffee at the Pump Rooms, which I have been trying to do since 1993 !!!!!

I just stumbled across an amazing blog by a lady who makes wonderful cards....she has had over 12000 hits on her blog..makes my 350 seem pretty pathetic really...the site is http://passionforcrafts.blogspot.com go check it out she is really talented.

My latest effort in the cardmaking stakes is this one...sorry about the background..I should have cropped it !!!

A Blue Christmas....

I managed to get this Magnolia stamp from the glitter pot...it was out of stock on "tinternet" but i was so desperate for it that I rang the shop and begged them to look and see if they had it on the shelf...she did...and they did and here she is. I LOVE her...watch this space as she will be appearing in many incarnations.

Magnolia

I went to David and Brenda's from Craft Obsessions crop on Saturday and instead of Scrapbooking I made cards, I had a pile to make and this was one of them...you guessed it I don't want to give her away, with a bit of therapy I'm sure this lack of desire to send my cards will pass......eventually !
