Well I said I intended to keep up with bogging this year and here I am again with another card already, I think its because I just love these new tildas so much (need to buy more) This is Tilda with big ribbon, again I've coloured her in light grey, faded it out then added stickles, the beautiful lace is a new one from wildorchids Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog and for any comments you may leave. love Teresa xx

I just love Tilda


This is one of the new Tildas from the 2011 'Your so special' collection and I have to say I love it, are they getting cuter? I think so, anyway this is Tilda with balloon and I've coloured her with copics but only lightly with cool grey tones and used stickles over the top. I adore these cool blues, the sentiment is a Whimsy one and ribbon from The Ribbon girl. The die cut swirl, leaf and backing flowers are Magnolia, so is the flower at the front. Thank you very much for visiting and for your much appreciated comments. Teresa xx

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Hello Bloggers,
Bet you thought I wasn't coming back lol I've had a wonderful christmas with my family (although the flu tried to spoil it for us we didn't allow it!) Our dear Daughter and her family were here from America and we just loved having them with us, lots of cuddles from the Grandsons too.
Well its here, New Year is nearly upon us and I've been thinking of new year resolutions, one is definitely not to neglect my blog and another one I must not spend unless absolutely necessary! (wonder how long that one will last lol)
Have a HAPPY NEW YEAR and see you all again very soon.
Love & Best Wishes Teresa xx

Tilda with tree & Hanglar



These Hanglar stamps are fab, I love colouring them but poor tilda is feeling a bit neglected so I'll post two cards lol. I've had a very enjoyable day today crafting, I made three cards in total but I need to take photos of those so here's my last couple. Hope you like them. Teresa xx

Another Hanglar


I've been a busy bee today and made 3 cards, this one is another Hanglar card, I'm loving these stamps so much and I must say I got my inspiration from 'All the things I love by Bev' I think her blog is amazing!
Just wanted to add that on my last post below I had a comment that I published but when I looked it wasn't there for some reason, it was from an anonymous person, it was a lovely comment but I've no idea what happend to it, anyway the reason I mention it is because you asked where I get the small doilies from, well I bought mine from Joanna Sheen and the heart shape ones from Hobbyhouse. Thank you to anyone who leaves a comment here. Teresa xx

This is my second Hanglar card, I'm falling in love with these dear characters as much as I have with Tilda, they are such a joy to colour, not that I'm brilliant at colouring by any means but I enjoyed colouring them. I used Magnolia papers, lace from Craft Obsessions and flowers are magnolia and roses from Michaels, I added stickles glitter to the edges of the papers. Not forgetting my new pretty watermark of course, (I love it) Hope you like it. xx

Week 69 Lets get Sentimental Magnolia challenge ~ Farewell Tilda


Hello my dear blogging friends, I wanted to add this card, because its rare for me to actually be happy with one of my cards, but I stood back and felt a bit proud of this one lol, Its the very pretty Farewell Tilda, my husband bought me this beautiful blue ribbon and I loved it so much I just felt inspired by it to make this card, I did at first use a pretty paper clip on the Tim Holtz ticket then changed my mind for a sunflower stamp instead and I think it looks better. Hope you like it. Teresa xx
