Winter Friends

Hi all, we've managed to get one carpet layed just one more to go, new fridge is up and running aswell. I'm totally aching from head to toe with all of the lifting and shiofting things around, thank goodness for painkillers!!

I managed to make a card even though i've been so busy with things at home. I've used one of Marianne Designs cute stamps and you can find the full range here . I've stamped with TH brushed Corduroy DI and coloured with Promarkers and finished the image of with glitter. I've also used Marianne Design Paper and Frame & Christmas tree die cuts. All mat and layered on gold CS, used MS Eyelet Lace edge punch, spellbinders nestie to frame the image and all finished off with fabric trim and ribbon. Hope you like!!

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.

Tilda With Amaryllis

Hi everyone!!
Well today started off really well, the sun was shining and it was so warm but as soon as i decided to do some planting the heavens opened and what followed was thunder, lightning and heavy rain. I bought 2 new plants yesterday at bargain prices and thought i would get them out of there pots but no, stopped by rain!!

I've made a card using a Magnolia stamp, i have not used this Tilda for a long time, she is called Tilda with Amaryllis and she's such a cutie. She was one of my first Maggies!! I've coloured the image with Promarkers, used P'Mania papers and dicut stars, Doohickey, Marianne and Spellbinders dies, lace, ribbon and pearl. I don't decorate the insides very often but i thought it would make a nice change, hope you like it!!
