Tilda with basket of cherries


Hello from the wet & windy midlands again, (yuk! don't you just hate this weather?) never mind perfect for crafting I guess.
I've made this card for the Sketch N Stash Challenge, the challenge was to make a card following the sketch and using new/neglected stash, my new item is the parisian die cutter set by Spellbinders I love using these and my neglected item is this colour cardstock, I had used every other colour in my stash except this yukky green colour and now I've used it I think it looks alright.
Hope you like my card. hugs Teresa xx

This card is for the Sketch N Stash challenge

Tilda with big ribbon (2 cards in one day lol)


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
