Whoopee...!!!!.....

...I have finally got my Tildas...and just had to ink them up..which one though as they are all so lovely...so I choose this one...

..I'm a little disappointed with this pic as the colours are different IRL..they are more aqua greeny..rather than grey..The DP's are my very favourite DCWV Linen Closet...Tilda's coloured with polychromos... I used my new EK Success border punch and lots of gems and Stickles for glitter...
Hope you are all enjoying the little bit of sunshine...dont worry the rain will be back for Bank Holiday...lol!!
Have fun..see you all tomorrow with at DT Card...

At Last....

... I managed to get a bit of crafty time in over the weekend and used one of my new Tildas..who arrived on Saturday in the post from CraftsuLove..I'm not happy with them at the moment as I pre-ordered another 3 of the new Tildas back in March and they told me on sat that I didn't place my order early enough for me to receive them in the first batch they got on Friday..I asked how earlier could I have been when I placed my order at 5.30am on the day they posted them on their website..the person I spoke to didn't even apologise or offer a refund so I immediately asked for one and promptly bought them from The Glitter Pot who has them in stock..I'm afraid to say that Craftsulove have lost my business for good..mainly for poor customer service as this isn't the first time they have let me down!!!..anyway rant over..lol..here's my card...

I used BG lovely Kioshi DP..going to have to get more of these...so lush..!!..lol..and this is 'Elf Tilda' I think..so is so sweet with her wings..I added lots of sparkle with the sparkly ribbon and stickles and I used a sweet little dragonfly charm and some lovely gems...and distressed inked the edges and flowers...oh and my new EK success border punch..this is going to be a definite favourite.. I am going to enter this for the following challenges....
Secret Crafter - Distressing
Stamp Something - Charmed
Just Magnolia - Any thing Goes...
Well I hope you all had a fab weekend..and just a little bit of news..I'm taking over the running of Stampin' for the Weekend Challenge with my fellow teamie Sandie..Kimmi who did a fantastic job of making it such a fab challenge blog..(so I've got big shoes to fill..lol I hope we'll do it justice)...is sadly leaving to send more time with her family...we wish her well...but she will still be around giving us a hand while I find my feet!!...
I'll be back later with another card to share...

Stampin' for the Weekend - Challenge DT Card

Hi Guys..well its time for another SFTW challenge and this time its a real corker...

Getting to know you - Based on Favourite Book

I have to say that this did give me a little bother as there are so many..but then I thought about when I was little..and then of course it came to me... I just loved the Milly Molly Mandy stories....by Joyce Lankester Brisley...in fact my sister got me a an old box set for my 'big' birthday a couple of years ago. Now I just loved reading about her adventures and in the front of the books was a little map of the village where Milly Molly Mandy lived showing the little thatched houses where her freinds lived and I used to wish I lived there too!!!...ahhhhh!!...and then I grew up and discovered boys!!!.lol..anyway..this is my card..

It had to be Tilda...and this was the nearest I could get to a red striped dress that Milly Molly Mandy wore in the summer...lol..
we have a fab sponsor this time...
Michelle Perkett.

Michelle is offering a set of 12 of her greeting cards and one digi image, of the winner's choice, from her store

So I do hope you will join us this week..look forward to seeing your favortite books!!..lol

Anyway..I have finally been able to get to my craft desk this week and have actually made a challenge card..this is for...

a couple of challenges...Allsorts - Petals & Pearls..and Just Magnolia - Punch it Out...well as you can see..I have used Punches Petals and Pearls..so hopefully this will fit!!..the DP is the ever gorgeous BG Wisteria and I used MS border punch and I tried to make the Wisterias more 3D by punching tiny flowers and Branches to blend in with the DP then I added pearls and gems .. and of course Darling Tilda ....Well I hope you are all fine and dandy and I'll be back tomorrow with a DT card for ABC...
