Paradise of Stamps DT.... Anything Goes & Back after some needed timeout

Hello Everyone! It's been a long time since my last post, 6th May to be exact.

I have not felt like crafting and also my laptop kept crashing and that really got on my nerves!

My birthday is on Thursday 4th June so i was very lucky to receive an early birthday present, a brand new laptop. Now i have had my old one for 6 years and it was Vista, my new one is Windows 8 so as you can imagine it is taking some getting used to! I'm slowly getting back into my crafting mode and here is my first creation for June which is my DT card for the 

Paradise of Stamps challenge

and the theme is

Anything Goes

Images - Magnolia Tilda and Edwin stamps

Medium - Promarkers

Tools - Go Kreate layering dies and Helz Cuppleditch ticket dies.

Tilda in Gay Paris!! Vintage at I ♥ Promarkers & a Bit of a Moan!!

Hi all, ooh!! I'm having a right old time of it!! First of all the tv went on the blink so had to buy a new one, then my son had another growth spurt so had to buy him a bigger bed, after that needed 2 new carpets, one for living room and one for son's bedroom. Just when i thought that's it, no more spending the fridge freezer has gone on the blink, lucky enough i have a chest freezer so i only need to buy a fridge. They say luck ( good or bad comes in 3s so waiting for my 3 lot's of good luck) had the first good luck when i got the results of my mammogram, all clear, yippeee!!

Right now i've got my moan out of the way i'll get back to the task in hand!! It's Wednesday so that means we have a new challenge at I ♥ Promarkers and the THEME this week is

VINTAGE

I've created a pennant using Magnolia's 'Tilda on the Loose', colored with Promarkers and mat and layered on a Spellbinder's beaded oval nestie and Kaisercraft DP. Tools used are Magnolia Doohickey lace flowers and Vintage tag dies, tag with eiffel tower and stamped sentiment from Kaisercraft. Homemade beadpins,  Lace and Pearls are Melissa Francis, roses arew WOC, Spotty and wide gold ribbons from Crafty Ribbons.
