Princess Tilda

Good afternoon everyone

It's not often I manage to get to the computer in the afternoon but I've managed to grab half an hour before I go back to work this afternoon. I bought this Tilda a while back and haven't had a chance to use her yet. Isn't she lovely?

My card recipe:
Image: Princess Tilda - Magnolia
Coloured with Distress Inks
Papers: from my scrap box
Cardstock: Coredinations
Flowers, lace, rub on and bits of embellishments: Wild Orchid Crafts and from stash
Tools: Sewing machine; Leone Em branch punch; Martha Stewart border punch
Silver, Lace and Green Stickles

I can enter these challenges:
Just Magnolia: Dawny P's fabby sketch.
Totally Tilda: Glitter and Sparkle
CRAFT: Fancy Floral
Crazy 4 Challenges: Bling

I'm trying to use all my bits and pieces up that's why all these bits of paper are from my scraps. If you saw the area I work from you wouldn't believe it - I'm such a slob, honestly. My theory is that if I haven't got as much stuff to leave lying around, I can't make as much mess so I'm trying to use the bits and bobs up. Once I've done that I can go out and buy some more stash!

See you next time.

Dress-Up Maggie

Hello everyone

I thought I'd dig some of my older stamps out this week. I haven't used Dress Up Maggie for ages. I love this image - she looks like she's all dressed up ready to paint the town all different colours. I should have called this post "Painting the town pink, green, blue and yellow!" I always use green and pink for Maggie; she suits these colours so well. I've given her a bit of bling but I don't think she really needs it. I don't know where my stamping was going on the Happy Birthday. It's like the Burma Road, up and down! Never mind, here she is - all ready to go.

My card recipe:

I can enter these challenges;

That's all for now then. The Sugar Bowl have a DT call if you are interested. Hop on over and take a wee look. See you later.
