Dream Valley Challenge 65 - Purple and Green

Hiya!

Well it's just about time for another challenge at Dream Valley! This time we've got a little colour challenge for you....

Purple and Green!

Well, this colour combination always makes me think of Halloween but I'm not ready for that just yet - I'm not ready to give up on Summer yet :-) So instead I decided to use one of my other purchases from my little trip to the Lili of the Valley shop......

I teamed it up with some papers by Wild Rose Studio that were just made for this challenge and then a little bit of ribbon and card candi....

A close up of the image.... as you can tell, I had a bit of fun with my glitter again :-)

Anyway, I'd better get on with things - lots to do again now the kids are back at school. Homework, spelling tests, reading books.....

Don't forget to pop over to Dream Valley and check out all the other purple and green creations by the rest of the DT :-)

Love 'n' hugs,

For A Special Friend

Hiya!

Another quick post cos they're piling up!

Another of my new LOTV stamps....

A close up of the image....

Both the image and the sentiment are from LOTV and the papers are Wild Rose Studio.

Sorry this is so brief - gotta go and pick up George from school in a mo and I'm still sorting out last minute preparations for the wedding! Eeeek! 6 days to go...... :-)

Love 'n' hugs,

Birthday card for Mum-in-law-to-be....

Hiya,

It's the middle of the night and I'm lying awake fretting over little wedding details that don't really matter so I thought I'd make better use of my time and show you the birthday card I recently made for my Mum-in-law-to-be :-)

This image is Miss Anya Dressy - I love her in purple :-) I tried really hard to colour her hair nicely - I always seem to mess up the hair when I'm colouring!

I used:

Image - Miss Anya Dressy

Papers - Wild Rose Studio

Promarkers

Pearls and ribbon from stash

Mini butterfly punch

Right I'm off to try the ovaltine method of getting off to sleep! Wish me luck :-)

Love 'n' hugs,

Tilda's Getting Married!

Hiya,

Back again.... Honestly, no posts for ages and then two come along at once! I'm like the number 11 bus (fellow Brummies will know what I mean!)

My sister asked me to make a card for a friend of hers who is getting married so I just had to use this sweet image (possibly sent to me by Mandy??? Most of my Tilda's are from Mandy :-) Thankyou!)

I followed the fab sketch that Donna produced for Sunday Sketch & Stamp (again! I love this sketch and will definitely use it again!)

I used my leafy lace border punch to make a frame for the image and then added on of my fave sentiments from Sentiments 4 You. I made a little boo boo and the sentiment was slightly too large for my nestie so I accidentally chopped off a little bit of the "W" - a few strategically placed butterflies and nobody's any the wiser.... Unless I tell you all, of course :-)

I also used:

Promarkers

Glitter glue

Papers - Wild rose studio

Ribbon from Woolworths(!)

Pearls from stash

Challenges:

Sunday Sketch & Stamp - Fab sketch

Crafty Ribbons - Anything goes

Totally Tilda - Wedding

Creative Inspirations - Anything goes

Wags 'n' whiskers - lace (leafy lace border punch)

Oh, and before I go I just want to tell you all how thrilled I was to get a Top 3 at Ladybug Crafts Ink with this card!!!! I love to win the random prizes of course - everybody does. But to be actually chosen I was so chuffed I could have burst! Thankyou so much :-)

Right, I'm off to cook dinner! Back again tomorrow with my DT card for Dream Valley....

Love 'n' hugs,

Some quick birthday makes....

Hiya!

A quick couple of cards before the school run! I might not have spent much time in blogland lately but I have been crafting!

These are for a couple of George's school friends:

This is for Harry. He's a Birmingham City fan so it was a real struggle for me to colour the shirt in blue (those who know me know that I'm a Villa fan so there really should have been some claret in there somewhere! Oh well, he's young. I'll forgive him!) I cut the goal from a picture - a bit of a cheat but it's the perfect size for this card.

I had my first go at creating clouds on this one - can you see them? I'm always such a wuss! Too scared to use bolder colours. Must be braver!!! The image is from a recent candy win from Sarpreet (thankyou!) I think it might be Wild Rose Studio???

And then a pirate card! Love this image :-) but again I was too much of a wuss with the colours.... The sentiment is a digi - I must look up who it's from (sorry!)

A close up of the image....

Right. I must be off. I'll have a look for some challenges later. Gotta get the kids ready. Gosh, is that really the time???? Gotta go!

Love 'n' hugs,
