A new Tilda!!!

What a shock, I hear you say, Jo has bought a Tilda!!! I do like Tilda but I just wish she had a mouth!! I'm sure I can't be the only one that thinks that way. Anyway this little beauty is sideways on so it doesn't matter to me!!!

Anyway, this qualifies for Totally Tilda which is Lavender and Lace, I have used a lace punch , I hope that counts and Just Magnolia which is a sketch. You can't believe how long it took me to make this card, I thought the sketch would be really easy but I just couldn't get my head around it!!!!! I hope you like it.

Stamp is Magnolia Tilda with bubbles (I think)

Coloured with Copic Sketch, Ciao and Spica Pens

Cherry Blossom

I thought I would show you this picture of the gorgeous tree in our front garden before it was hit by the rain. This gave me the inspiration for my next card which I think will go into the following challenges

Creative Card Crew - April Showers bring May Flowers

Just Magnolia - A sketch by Bev (thanks Bev, my sort of sketch again)

Crafty Catz - Spots , which there are lots of if you look closely!!

This lovely Magnolia image, I received in a RAK from Vicky over at Kips Cards, check out her work it is fab!! As Tilda is a bee, this paper reminded me of honeycomb and of course every bee needs flowers!! So here it is.

I have no idea what this little Tilda is called, but she is so cute.
Sentiment is Cuddley Buddley
Coloured with Copic Ciao and Sketch pens, and no I haven't used the blender pen on her tummy or hair, really pleased with myself there, lol!!
DP is Basic Grey Lemonade again, I just love it!!
Nestibilities Ovals and Scalloped Ovals
Martha Stewart Daisy and Branch Punches
Nellie Large Flower, Small Flower and Stamen punches
Crystal Glamour Dust
Pearl Glimmer Mist
Card, Ribbon and Flat Pearls from Stash

Hope you like her,

Back again!!!

Another card from Jo!!! Four days on the trot!! I've had a lovely day playing today, should have been doing the housework but that can wait!! We were going to go to the Bath and West Show ground, to the craft show as it is about an hour from us, but as hubby has only just started his new job, I decided that I would save up and perhaps go next year instead. Anyway Newbury show is fast approaching and I shall be there with Wendy, so hopefully will be able to have a spend there instead!! So that's my reason for today's crafting session, if I can't buy it, I may as well use it!!

Anyway this card is for Just Magnolia which is an open challenge , Sunday Sketch and Stamp which was a choice of one of 25 sketches and Our Creative Corner which is blossoms!!
Edited: I used sketch number 13!!

The Tilda image is one that I received in a RAK, so I'm really sorry but I haven't a clue what she is called. She was lovely to colour but to me she looks as if she's lost her legs or is sinking into a bog, perhaps I haven't coloured her very well!!
Sentiment is from a Popcorn Bear Stamp

Coloured with Copic Ciao, Sketch and Spica Glitter pens
The papers are Basic Grey Lemonade, I think my favourite yet!!
Martha Stewart Lace and Branch punches
The flowers are made with the same Nellie Multi frame set as the Tilda is cut out with,
spritzed with Pearl Glimmer Mist.
Crystal Glamour Dust

All of the above, other than the stamps, is available from Wendy at Stamps and Memories
Card and Brads from Stash

Hope you like her

Let me introduce you to ...............

Our resident rat catcher, Tango, most often referred to as the "ginger furball". "Rat catcher?" I here you say," doesn't look like he catches rats". Well this was taken yesterday afternoon, after he had been on look out all day by the green house. As you can see exhausting work this rat catching. Yes, he had caught three young rats, "oh what a good boy" was that? I am sorry to say that the first two didn't survive, first one found dead on the living room floor and second one found dead on the lawn!!. "So what happened to number three", I hear you say? He brought it home to mum and let it go in her craftroom ..................... Now you know why he is not a good boy!!!!!!!!! I screamed and managed to keep an eye on where it went, Hubby to the rescue and he caught it by the tail. OMG, never a dull moment here!!!

Hubby has now spent all day today sorting out the top greenhouse and laying more concrete!!! Happy Sundays!!

Well on to today's card. This is totally out of my comfort zone. Very OTT and a Tilda!! I do own some of these little girls but they all face sideways or have their mouth covered as I so want to draw a face on them!! I have to thank lovely Vicky from Kips Cards for this lovely image that was sent as a RAK. Pop across and have a look at her work, it is amazing, I just wish I had her patience.

I think this covers a few challenges, I started using a sketch over at Fussy and Fancy but I think it has gone a bit wrong, I have got them around the wrong way, sorry ladies. The rest are;
