Tilda with Curly Hair!

Good Afternoon!

Today I have a normal card to share with you all, my Magnolia Spring Kit arrived yesterday and due to being too tired I finally got the chance to have a play with it today!

It was so hard to decide which to use first but in the end I decided to go for this one, I'm not sure of her real name so at the moment I am calling her Tilda with Curly Hair! lol The sentiment is also from the kit.

This card fits into the Challenges at:

PAPERTAKE WEEKLY - SKETCH

BUNNY ZOES CRAFTS - SPRING ... FLOWERS EVERYWHERE!

TOP TIP TUESDAY - INSERTS & BLING IT ON

I have only used 3 Flowers on this card as I felt it didn't as many as I usually use on my cards.

I have added a photo of the inside, as most of you know I decorate the insides each time but don't really photograph it anymore!

RECIPE:

Magnolia Spring Kit 2011

Magnolia Paper

Cuttlebug 'Snow' Embossing Folder

Flowers by Magnolia & Wild Orchid Crafts

Vanilla Dew Drops, Ribbon, Shimmer Spray & Twinklets from Stash

Thanks for Popping By!

Happy Crafting!

Creative Inspirations - Plain & Simple!

Good Morning!

Where has everybody gone recently?

I've noticed there has been hardly anybody around since mid last week, I do hope my creations haven't gone down-hill lol

This week at CREATIVE INSPIRATIONS our theme is Plain & Simple! This means you can only use up to 2 Design Papers & up to 4 of each type of Embellishment.

I really am not keen on my card, it looked good in my mind but it just hasn't turned out right, ah well you win some you lose some I guess! lol

This card fits the Challenges at:

BUNNY ZOES CRAFTS - SPRING ... FLOWERS EVERYWHERE!

PAPERTAKE WEEKLY - PUTTING ON THE GLITZ

Unfortunately it doesn't show very well in this picture but I have used the Antique Linen Distress ink on the Birthday stamp as it is the same shade as some flecks in the Design Paper.

Good Afternoon!

I am so sorry that this post is late ... a day and a half late to be exact!

I haven't been home since Friday afternoon until today so this is my first chance to write this seeing I didn't have time to schedule it before I left!

So to make up for the latest here is a photograph taken of Hollie, you can tell Millie wasn't in the photo mood that day! lol

This weeks Challenge over at PBSC is Pretty In Pink!

I decided to do something different to a card this week, I made a Blue Gift box a couple of weeks ago so I decided it was time I made a Pink one to go with it!

Creative Inspirations - Red, Pink & White Only!

Good Morning!

I have another long post for you today as I have a little more than a card to share with you so I do hope your sat comfortably!

This week at CREATIVE INSPIRATIONS we have the following Colour Scheme for you all to use, we want to see these colours ONLY on your work. They don't have to be these particular shades this tab is here just as an example :)

However we do have an exception for Hair / Skin Tone.

You can use Green but ONLY in the form of Flower Stems / Leaves.

This card fits the Challenge at:

JUST MAGNOLIA & HANGLAR - ANYTHING GOES + RIBBON

CUPCAKE CRAFT - SEEING RED

For some strange reason the backing card-stock and ribbon looks dark pink but it is in-fact a dark red!

I didn't think this card needed a large Flower like I usually use so I have just added a few Roses and covered the Pink ones in Twinklets.

RECIPE:

Magnolia Tilda Stamp

Sentiment from LOTV

Magnolia Paper

Nesties

Cuttlebug 'Snow' Embossing Folder

Flowers & Crystal Stem from Wild Orchid Crafts

Before I go I would just like to mention 2 quick things.

Firstly a fellow DOCRAFTS Friend is offering some Blog Candy but this one is a bit different as it is in memory of her late Husband who sadly died from a Heart Attack 20 years ago .

Just click the pic to go to her blog to find out more.

*************************

Secondly my friend Caroline gave me this lovely Love Blog Award yesterday! There are a few conditions to this award:

You have been TAGGED and want to participate? Then create a post where you post the 'LOVE BLOG' image. You should also blog the persons link that gave you the award and inform her/him that you accept the award. You can then choose 3 - 5 favourite blogs which you also link in your post, then each blogger will inform you that they have been tagged....Dear bloggers:The aim of this action is that we bring unknown, good blogs to light, so I would ask you not to blog fellow bloggers that already have 3,000 followers.

I have decided to go for the 3 most recent additions on my C.I DT Team as they all create beautiful work!
