Tilda With Kraft - Totally Tilda DT Card

Good morning peeps,
I sat all chilled out in the lounge last night uploading my photo's and & starting to write my post, cursing now & again as the internet connection was playing up, then Gareth came home & rushed into the lounge asking "Are you alright muma?" With that my laptop went flying as I leaped off the sofa & started racing around like a lunatic unplugging everything electrical while he stood there giggling. You see there are ways of asking "Are you alright muma?" and then there's the way he asks & his eyebrows are raised and he has a little smile on his lips which means only one thing, it's flipping thundering!!! 
Yes I'm a big baby lol. I would stand my ground when being physically attacked by an over 6ft tall male resident, but one little flash of lightening in the sky and that's me turned to a quivering wreck lol. So blog post abandoned I then annoyed hubby until I finally dropped off to sleep well into the early hours by jumping out my skin everytime there were flashes of lightening or rumbles & cracks of thunder lol. 
When I staggered out of bed this morning not looking my best it has to be said lol, my first thought was not to apologise to a tired & grumpy looking husband lol, it was do we still have internet & can I finish my blog post as a storm usually knocks it out, which it did but thankfully not for as long this time :)

This fortnights challenge at 
is
Don't forget peeps there is a DT call at Totally Tilda for the next 6 month term, so all you Maggie lovers pop over and take a peek :)

I have been trying to ink up my Tilda's I have so far neglected and are still sat waiting for their packets to be opened, but when I saw this gorgeous background stamp I just knew the perfect Tilda for it so good intentions abandoned here is my card
Ingredients -
Images - Magnolia Tilda Celebrates Mid Summer, & Kaisercrafts - The Lake House
Medium - Copics
Papers - Crafty Individuals & Kraft cardstock
Flowers - Kort & Godt, Wild Orchid & Hooked On Crafts
Birds - Studio Calico
Lace - stash
Pins - homemade
Pearls - Hero Arts
Sparkle - Crystal Glamour Dust
Tools - MS Eyelet Lace PATP, Magnolia Doo Hickey heart swirls, Cheery Lynn butterfly
The Copic colours I've used are -
Tilda - skin E11, E00, E000, R20, E93, hair - E57, E55, E53, dress - RV63, RV52, RV00, RV000, fountain - W6, W4, W2, W0, flowers - R85, R83, R81 / RV10, RV000, RV0000
I'm entering my card in the following challenges -
Make It Monday - anything goes, Challenge Up Your Life - everything goes, Amusing Challenges - Summer, Craft A Scene - the great outdoors, Dream Valley - die cuts & punches, Lovely hAnglar & Sweet Magnolia - flowers, Pile It On - bingo (bottom row, glitter, pearls & sewing), The Ribbon Girl - bingo (pearls, bow, lace), One Stop Craft - Summer holiday, Just Magnolia - pearls & swirls, Inspire Me Fridays - anything goes
The next couple of days are going to be pretty stressful as I'll be sat in court on Monday & Tuesday with Jodie as she has been called as a witness for the prosecution to a nasty fight she saw up town one night a few months ago which left one of the men in hospital for a few weeks. She has to give evidence again in September & October as counter allegations have been made, that is of course providing the cases don't get adjurned again, which I think is so wrong as it causes more stress for the witnesses when this happens.
Anyway hopefully I will have my blogversary candy sorted & posted in the next couple of days.
Thanks for stopping by
