I've baked you a cake

Are you having freezing cold weather where you are, it's freezing here and I refuse to put the heating on in the middle of May but honestly I feel like I could have icicles on my nose, ok slight exaggeration but you get my drift lol

the challenge today over at Addicted to stamps challenge is for the colours of 

Pink and Brown, a gorgeous colour combo for you and one I hope you will join us with, we love to see your work and don't forget we now do a top three,

my papers are Basic Grey and I've followed the sketch from Magnolia-licious, Tilda is again coloured with copics though I think she might have been better in Distress inks, but you know when your in the mood for using something and something else just doesn't do lol,

My card  edges are distressed and sewn

as you can see there is a bit of glitter added here and there  too,

the flowers are a new Marianne die that Igot which you have to curl the circles to make the roses, me thinks me needs more practise!!! lol,

the butterflies are my favourite Martha Stewart punch,

What fun I've had with Mr Blogger, not only did he keep my post for a while he lost my new blog page, kept my photo's on too large for it and changed all my colours that I'd altered so I've had to spend ages changing it all back!!! GRRRR

Oh well enough of my babble lol,

The challenge today is of course for Basic Grey, lets hope Mr Blogger doesn't decide to keep this one too he he, and the challenge is 

Mix and Match

which is to mix papers and/ or Basic Grey embellishments too if you have those,

my papers are from the 6x6 pads Bitter sweet and Hello Lucious

I have of course used a gorgeous hAnglar image and I've coloured her with copics,

so love these hAnglar images,

I'm trying to get my colouring better for my copics but was quite pleased with this one,

Thought I'd show you some close ups of the flowers etc lol,

Hi guys,

I hope that this will post as after my computer got a load of rubbish on it from the internet we went out and bought a flippin expensive protection thing for it and this morning it won't let me send any mail, so much for modern technology!

I started out making a card for my Totally Tilda creation which this time is 

Tilda with cat or dog

and I finished up changing it into a wall hanger lol,

I have again done my out of the box design he he and have also used my fiskars border  punch again,

I have used 4 images and masked three of them, Tilda with puppy, the log, the flowers are all masked then I stamped the main doggy sorry don't know what he's called but isn't he cute! coloured them with Distress inks and  added my large dog  after, again outside the main square, similar to my last post,

to finish it off there are hints of glitter some distressed cardstock, bling, pearls, raffia twine  and a gorgeous prima butterfly,

Outside the box lol

Hi guys,

It's Thursday already wow, doesn't time fly, so of course it's colour create and paper play time,

I've had a change today for my colour create creation and done a door hanger this is one of Susie's dies available from her web shop which will be open again shortly after her house move,

the challenge is our lovely Kerry's choice and is for 

Aqua/green/purple/white

optional extra glitter

above is the inspirational picture,

I coloured Tilda with copics, then on the outside edge I stamped a grunge flower using Distress ink, then using a slightly different flower I used it on the main door hanger using a darker ink,

I added glitter to her shoes and hem but it's hard to see, need to practise this again lol,

the gorgeous roses are WOC and the pearls are from stash,

Paper plays challenge is 

SHOW US YOUR STYLE 

well I've done something I love to do which is to have one of my images slightly coming off the main image, I masked this gorgeous new Dog from Magnolia onto the main image then did another one which I then cut out and layered onto my main image so that I had him in the right place but he went beyond the square layer!

hence outside the box lol,

this time my images are coloured with Distress inks and have hints of glitter on them, I also love to distress my edges and sew on my papers so of course I've done that too lol

I have also used my Fiskars border punch again, which I've had ages and only just started using properly lol,
