MCH DT Card

Hi everyone, I'm here today to show you a card I've made using another Saturated Canary stamp Teresa has got in at My Crafty Heart called Cherry Blossom, she's gorgeous and i so love oriental so it's right up my street lol,
Again I've used my copics, but a couple of my colours were running out which I didn't know when I started! grr,
I've used the gorgeous paper pad Serenity by Bo Bunny which has all these fab colours and design in which are perfect for this stamp,
the text stamp is a stamp I've had in my stash years, as is the picture scene on the right hand side, see I told you I liked this type of thing lol,

Third post today, last but not least lol

Hi guys, well hopefully you will have noticed I've already done two posts today before, scroll down if you would like to see them,
this time I'm here with the lovely hAnglar or sweet Magnolia challenge and it's
Ribbon and/or lace
we are being sponsored by the ribbon girl,
 thanks so much girls


This is also on The Totally Tilda challenge Midweek post too which is for Tilda wearing trousers,
here's my take on it,


You could say she's in the pink he he,
I think I must have been having a pink moment when I made this lol,
Tilda is aptly called pink ribbon Tilda and is coloured with my distress re-inkers, and I've added hints of glamour dust on the bow and pant suit, The papers are from the Tea Thyme paper pad by Prima available from Teresa at my Crafty heart,
the adorable Guipure lace is from the pretty little ribbon shop and the gorgeous pink silky crush ribbon is from the Ribbon Girl.
Closer view of Tilda,

The Ribbon Girl GDT

Hi guys, back today with my second post this time with my second and last post as a guest DT for the lovely Mary and Andrea at the ribbon Girls,
the challenge this time is a combining the card and colour challenges and the challenge is
Ivory/ pinks
you may enter any project for this as long as it fits the colour theme,
I've made a card and decorated a candle too
My card is made using a Go Kreate die with Inkido papers, I coloured Magnolia Tilda with my distress
 re-inkers , to finish off the card I've used some gorgeous goodies all from the Ribbon Girl, they were all lovely to use and the hardest part is choosing what to pick from their fabulous list of products,
I will put the list at the end of my post,
Closer view of Magnolia Tilda on my card, you can see I added stickles on her hem and flower centre for a little added sparkle,
This is the first time I've done a candle using an image and tissue paper, but thankfully it turned out ok lol,
the colours always look a little paler when finished and of course they were coloured with my copics as distress ink would have been to wet for the tissue paper,
again I added a little stickles to tie in the images,

recipe
Pink crystal heart stems @ TRG
Heart engraved style charm @ MCH
4mm pink pearl bead trim @ TRG
Lily flowers Pale pink and white @ TRG
Rose buds large deep pink/two tone @ TRG
38mm Ivory silky crush ribbon @ TRG
Ivory pearl rose organza @ TRG
Rolled paper roses Ivory @ TRG

Challenges
Crafts and me ~ new, all embellishments, technique,
7 kids collage fund ~ something new and old from stash ~ new/ all embellishments, old/ candle, papers

I just wish to thank Mary and Andrea for having me as a Guest Designer, I've enjoyed working with your beautiful products very much,

I've added a little foliage stamp for added interest, and edged the shape with a little distress ink though you can't see it very well lol,

Tilda wearing trousers

Tilda is coloured with my copics and I've given the hearts a little stickles treatment,
the gorgeous papers are all from the same Prima Romance Novel from My Crafty Heart and are gorgeous, I used one of the designs to make holes in and added a button twine top then threaded a punched  heart using one of the papers through it,you can just see it on the right of Tilda,
I dosed my flowers with pearl glimmer mist then sprinkled a little glamour dust over them for added sparkle, 
I layered Tilda blowing hearts from the last Magnolia stamp club collection onto a scalloped oval, again using some of the paper, then onto a larger scalloped oval die using card stock and finished it off with pearls,

Wow I'm on a roll lol

Hi guys, back today gosh that's a first for me a card every day from Sunday!
It is strange but most of my DT stuff has worked out to be on a Sunday! then the rest of the week it's quiet! lol
Anyway onto my card which I have done for my DT for My Crafty Heart, although I have used a SC digi called  Nevaeh, again coloured with my copics this time on my favourite card as I had enough for this,

The gorgeous papers are from Glitz Hello Friend and prima Firefly which went together perfectly,
I've not distressed my paper edges again but think it's not me so I will probably go back to doing so soon,
the gorgeous flower at the bottom right is from the Prima Cabaletta range in the spring collection, love the pearl centres in these,
The sentiment is again by WOJ from the magical wishes collection, so love these stamps
the  Vintage birdcage is a Memory Box die and I've added a mesh butterfly on top,
the gorgeous  Enchanted lace is again from MCH,
the jute mesh ribbon was from the ribbon girl,
closer view of Nevaeh,
her underskirt has Star Dust stickles on it,

Happy Birthday Son

Hi guys, It's my sons  31st Birthday today and he loves Fishing!!!!!!!!
now what card do you make for a man who's been into fish since has was five!!!
yep fishing!!!!
but I do run out of ideas, anyway the other day I went on my lovely blogging friend Vicky's blog ( who's cards are awesome) and she had another awesome card on with this fabby SC digi image called Fishy and I just knew I had to have one for his card lol,

I'd run out of my favourite copic card stock so the darn things have bled slightly and wouldn't go back so don't look to closely he he, the shop was shut and his Birthday was in a few days time so it had to be!!

It's been one of those times as when I was doing the sky with some  fairly dry copics which would have been better wetter the phone rang TWICE!!! I mean what!!! you do  know they set fast and you need at least a little ink in the pen to re ink them lol, so hence the reason why his sky is a little weird,well that's my excuse and I'm sticking too it lol,
so so so! want my favourite card stock again, where I can blend and add colour with out it bleeding and not going back!

I used to go fishing when I was pregnant with him so I've only myself to blame for him having the bug, well that and his dad loves it too, I didn't look like this gorgeous image though he he, though I did once go fishing on a local pond with hubby, again pregnant and there was a group of teenage lads there when we arrived, I got fishing and caught and caught and caught, the lads packed up after saying 
hell she's only just got here, caught loads,  she's pregnant and we have caught "nowt" , that's nothing in our part of the world, lol

Don't fish now though, would much rather craft !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

right after all my rambling back to the card,
I used some gorgeous papers by Glitz  Vintage blue from My Crafty Heart, (currently on sale) wow they are gorgeous! I kept her top and fishing rod handle in those colours too tie in with them,
the sentiment was cut out of Tim Holtz idea-ology  kraft glassine using a spellbinders ribbon banners die then layered onto card stock for added strength as I wanted it too stand up from the card a little,
I added some hemp fabric I got in a sale at a local shop a few weeks back, knew it would come in for something lol,
the charm is from stash as are the letter cubes,
 Divine Bakers twine is  from the pretty little ribbon shop 
well think that's it, got Tegan today so will catch up with you guys later,
have fun! Happy Crafting
Hugs Liz xx

How cute!!!

Hi guys, I'm posting today, because I just thought I'd share a couple of piccies of Tegan taken yesterday!

This was first thing in the morning with a little bed head going on lol, she's laughing with her uncle Simon who is still off this week for the hols,
she loves having her picture taken but wants to press the buttons and see herself lol,

second piccie is at tea time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes she's at that stage where she feeds herself! and the high chair and the floor and the dog , you get my drift !!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol
still she does so make us laugh,
Just thought I'd pop these on too show you while she's having a nap as she's starting with a cold and hasn't slept well last night,
probably why she looks pale on the first piccie,
Happy crafting,
hugs Liz xx
