Hi guys,
well I'm here, enjoying this horrible winter weather again, 
am I glad we went down south and got some sun,
we had a couple of days of twenty three degrees!!!!
forgot that still existed lol,
my neighbour said it's been like winter all this last week and she's had the heating on again!!!

as you know we went to Center Parcs and we saw about 20 deer just roaming around, I looked up one night having my tea and their were two on the path, so cute!

Well I'd better get on with my card he he,
Over at Basic Grey the theme this fortnight is for 
Shabby Chic
Did my title give you a clue???
This is my card Penilla did my blog look from,
as you guessed I made it before my hols lol,
Tilda is coloured using Distress inks, the cardboard she's sat on was from an old box which I stripped the back layer off the painted with Tim Holtz crackle paint,
Tilda is finished off with glitter as are the flowers but I've yet to master you being able to see this!
I've used up that gorgeous lace which I love and so must get some more,
My flowers are from WOC,the pearl strings are from Hobby craft, and the leaf I found in my stash, the gorgeous butterfly is of course a Prima one,

I think I'm finally getting the hang of this cheesecloth stuff lol,
the main card shape is a Spellbinders Grand Nestie, scalloped circle,

A gift tag for you!

Well three actually lol,
because the challenge today over at Totally Tilda is for three tags each with a Tilda on,
now some of my teamies who have all made the most gorgeous tags ever, have used the same Tilda, others have used the same tags, can't wait to see what you do though it will have to wait till I get back from my hols next week,
any way here's mine
as you can see I used the same tag die  which is a Go kreate one by the way and I have used different Tildas,
I can't belive I made a xmas tag in May, I don't do xmas till November as you already know lol,
I coloured my images with copics, cut them out and layered them, I used a tiny piece of corrogated card board from an old box and added some white acrylic paint to it before attaching that as some where for Tilda to sit on,
her fur trim, laces, and snow are all sparkly with glamour dust, which of course again you can't tell, see I told you I needed more practise!
For this tag I have used my new bunting stamp, the royal wedding had a hand in this as I was thinking of what I was going to do and it came into  my mind,
This one is of course influenced by Kay being pregnant, got my mind on babies a lot these days he he,
Again she;s coloured with copics,
the flowers are a Magnolia Doo hickey die and the heart  charm says a new blessing, hope she's saying that when it wants feeding in the night,
still it kicks her at one a  clock in the morning most nights at the moment, so may be she'll be used to it by then,

well I hope you like my tags, look forward to seeing yours, 
catch you later,
love and hugs Liz xx
ps, I have candy!

Thursday 19 May 2011

Hi guys

I'm busy packing as were off on hols on Friday for a week, son's still at home so the house will be a tip when I get back but at least it's a break,
were going to Centre Parcs in Elveden, anyone else going let me know lol 

I've heard the weather is still gorgeous down south so I hope it stays that way!!!

right on to the challenges,
Colour create this time have a colour challenge chosen by our lovely Sylvia and it's
white, cream and brown,
optional extra one more colour plus buttons and flowers,
here is the inspirational picture

as you can see my extra colour is blue, to be honest a little darker than I intended as my palest copic ran out so I had to use the next one up, or should that be down? lol
the base is cut using a go kreate die and of course the gorgeous image is a hAnglar stamp,
My flowers are from WOC and the pearl buds are Kars, the large pearls are really buttons which I have glued on side ways to hide the shank, these were another raid of my mums button box he he,
papers are sewn as you can see and I have made a border for the white using a MS punch
challenges
Timbroscrapmania ~ buttons and stitches
A spoonful of sugar ~ Anything goes

paper play challenge
our challenge this time is set by my lovely friend Mandy so of course it's called
Sparkle Galore
and yes you've guessed it show us your glitters, and glitz the more the merrier lol,
this is really sparkly which I hope you will see on the next pictures lol,
Mandy gets lovely sparkly pictures but I've to get them yet! lots more practise needed he he,
I've stamped out two images then made my own path with doing dots of three colours with my copic pens and the sky using copics too, my first attempt at the sky, and of course when my pen also ran out so it's not as good as I would have liked,

Can you see the Glitter?
I've distressed the edges of both my card and paper and added Tim Holtz crackle paint then just before it dried added some glamour dust so there is hints of sparkle at the edges too,
the gorgeous magnolia tree had to have some treatment too lol,
the flowers at the bottom I sprayed with perfect pearls then added glamour dust to them for extra sparkle
sorry the pictures a little fuzzy on this!
I wish you could see the sparkle !!

A special delivery

Hi peeps,

Is it cold where you live? it's like winter here today, I hope the good weather comes back soon,

I've got a card today to show you that isn't for a DT, I just felt like making it and thought I'd show you anyway lol,

as you know Kay's pregnant and I thought it would be a nice card for her when the time comes as I'll be so excited I won't be able to think straight he he,
I've used a go kreate die and edged the card with vintage photo distress ink, my gorgeous lace is from a craft fair I went too and up to now have only looked at as it's so beautiful lol, I've also used my cheesecloth again  and this time left it larger so you can see it, the acetate butterfly is from a sheet of them and I've cut one out and fixed it on by the spine with glue,
I've coloured the image with copics and used vintage photo distress ink on the scalloped nestie too,
my flowers are from Hobby craft and WOC, the pearl buds are from Kars,

challenges 

will check up after to see if it fits any more lol,

what do you think of my new blog page,  I love it and it will be staying!

have a lovely day, don't forget my candy,
love and hugs Liz xx

I,m sorry!

I'm so sorry to say I have had to take my gorgeous blog layout off my blog as some one has kindly told me it was some one else's work and should not have been used with out permission,
I have taken it off as I don't condone using other peeps work as our own as  we all work hard to produce our work and it isn't fair on the person who should get the credit,

I have written to the  person responsible to tell her that she should not be using them with out permission but in case any one else has used one from my link to her site, please be aware!

thanks for the time reading this, off now to cry because I've got to sort my blog out all again and as you know I can never find what I like lol
love and hugs Liz xx

I've baked you a cake

Are you having freezing cold weather where you are, it's freezing here and I refuse to put the heating on in the middle of May but honestly I feel like I could have icicles on my nose, ok slight exaggeration but you get my drift lol

the challenge today over at Addicted to stamps challenge is for the colours of 
Pink and Brown, a gorgeous colour combo for you and one I hope you will join us with, we love to see your work and don't forget we now do a top three,
my papers are Basic Grey and I've followed the sketch from Magnolia-licious, Tilda is again coloured with copics though I think she might have been better in Distress inks, but you know when your in the mood for using something and something else just doesn't do lol,
My card  edges are distressed and sewn
as you can see there is a bit of glitter added here and there  too,
the flowers are a new Marianne die that Igot which you have to curl the circles to make the roses, me thinks me needs more practise!!! lol,

the butterflies are my favourite Martha Stewart punch,

Outside the box lol

Hi guys,
It's Thursday already wow, doesn't time fly, so of course it's colour create and paper play time,

I've had a change today for my colour create creation and done a door hanger this is one of Susie's dies available from her web shop which will be open again shortly after her house move,
the challenge is our lovely Kerry's choice and is for 
Aqua/green/purple/white
optional extra glitter

above is the inspirational picture,


I coloured Tilda with copics, then on the outside edge I stamped a grunge flower using Distress ink, then using a slightly different flower I used it on the main door hanger using a darker ink,
I added glitter to her shoes and hem but it's hard to see, need to practise this again lol,
the gorgeous roses are WOC and the pearls are from stash,
challenges
Crafty calendar ~ April shower bring forth may flowers
Papertake weekly ~ anything goes

Paper plays challenge is 
SHOW US YOUR STYLE 
well I've done something I love to do which is to have one of my images slightly coming off the main image, I masked this gorgeous new Dog from Magnolia onto the main image then did another one which I then cut out and layered onto my main image so that I had him in the right place but he went beyond the square layer!
hence outside the box lol,
this time my images are coloured with Distress inks and have hints of glitter on them, I also love to distress my edges and sew on my papers so of course I've done that too lol
I have also used my Fiskars border punch again, which I've had ages and only just started using properly lol,
