Tilda Watering

Morning Everyone,

Hope all the Mum's in the UK had a lovely Mother's Day.  I had flowers, chocolate, wine, new cardigan and some crafting goodies still to come from my Son.  A nice takeaway for Tea so no need for me to cook, all in all a lovely day, thank you Kids.

It's the second Monday in the month and time for a new challenge at BunnyZoe.  The theme chosen by Mina this month is "Girly".  I have used the new Magnolia Tilda Watering and coloured this time using Distress Inks.

This card is for sale in my Etsy Shop HERE.  I know after many moons I have finally put some cards in there, lol.

I'll be back tomorrow with another creation.

Surprise

Hi Everyone,

How's the shopping going? I'm all done, going to spend a couple of evenings wrapping and then I am going to have a massive sort out in my craft room and switch rooms with my son at the same time. Yikes.  I think if I moved house the worst room to pack up and move would be my craft room, lol. I also need to do some catching up with you all, so I'll be visiting your blogs real soon.

I have two cards to show you today.  For the first one I have used a Penny Johnson image called Surprise and it's currently on sale in the store with a whopping 40% off!  I think this stamp can be used for birthdays as well as Christmas and I really enjoyed colouring it with my copics.

My second is a very different style of Christmas Card for me today.  I have a friend who really is a clean and simple girl, it's not my style and I find it really hard to do, but I have given it a go as I wanted my friend to have something she would like.

Little Angel & Donna's Candy

Hi Peeps,

Half way through the week and I'm totally shattered. I didn't get much sleep Saturday night and think it has finally caught up with me.  We headed to bed at 1:30am and after I got settled, Ollie started barking.  OH had already started snoring so after half an hour of barking and snoring I went down to settle Ollie.  I think it was the wind and the rain hammering down on the windows that was frightening him.  I returned to bed but he kept barking so at 2:30 enough was enough and I brought him upstairs.  He was still panting like mad and took him another 20-30 mins to settle.  Needless to say it was gone 3am.  If you had told me two years ago I would own a dog and then allow him in my bedroom at night, I would of said you were barmy and not on my nellie, lol.

I have for you today a cute little Angel by CC Designs called Sweet Noelle.   I have stamped her onto kraft cardstock and coloured her in using polychromo pencils. Love the white on kraft.

Ingredients:-

Go Kreate Die to create the base of the card
