A nice & easy Challenge for you all.

I wanted to find a Sentiment that would go with the Dog Theme so after hunting on the Internet I eventually found this one.

Buttons & Dew Drops from Stash

First off our new Challenge over at A Spoon Full of Sugar is Valentines!

A Tilda Calendar!

Good Morning!

I had been meaning to make a calendar for 2011 like I normally do each year but I just couldn't find the energy to do a page each this time so I had a little think and came up with an alternative! I thought of making an Easel Card style Calendar but using various Tilda's to represent different occasions throughout the year so it didn't look too plain.

In the end I came up with these 4 Tilda's and masked them together (This took me a little while to figure out how to place each character lol)

* Tilda carrying Birthday Cake - My Birthday

* Witch Tilda sitting with Broom - Halloween

* Star Tilda - Christmas

* Tilda with Hearts - Valentines

I do hope you like this as it took me quite a while and almost ended up in the bin when I dropped something on the image when the gloss was drying ... grrrr !!!

My calendar fits in the Challenges at:

MAGNOLIA DOWN UNDER - CALENDAR

MAGNOLIA-LICIOUS HIGHLITES - CALENDAR

WILD ORCHID CRAFTS - LET'S GET SENTIMENTAL

Magnolia Paper

Cuttlebug 'Snow' Embossing Folder

Various Ribbons

For some reason I just couldn't get the photography right on this card so if you think it looks like it's on a bit of a tilt it probably is! lol

I have also used one of my new Tilda's again and I have to admit she is one of my all-time favourites, she's gorgeous!

I have only put twinklets on the centre flower this time and Shimmer Spray on the rest, I really do wish it'd show in photographs so you could see how pretty it looks.

Lastly I thought I would add a photograph of the inside as I haven't done this for quite a while.

Magnolia Tilda Stamp

Sentiment from Happy Daze
