Good morning peeps,
I'm feeling sooooooo good today :) The pain & pins & needles has at last eased off to just a niggle which always makes me so happy & it makes me appreciate a good day so much more after being in agony :)
Yesterday hubs & I went looking for wallpaper for our hall, landing & stairs & while browsing I picked up a roll I thought was quite nice until I discovered it was £45 a roll & my first thought was "OMG that's like five Tilda's per roll" & shoved it right back on the shelf lol. I don't even want to think about how many Tilda's it would cost to wallpaper all of it at that price & luckily hubs liked my choice of wallpaper which wasn't even the colour I intended buying but I love it and it cost 3 Tilda's less per roll lol.
Today is new challenge day at
& this fortnight our challenge is
I was having serious problems trying to cut my paper for a card as I couldn't even use my bad arm to hold the paper still in the trimmer & many wonky attempts later I gave up & had a rummage in my draw of goodies I'd bought intending to decorate & discovered 2 of these little hearts which I bought in Holland a couple of years ago.
The copic colours I've used are -
skin - E11, E21, E00, E000, R12, hair - E25, E31, E50, trousers - W4, W2, W0, top - RV93, RV91, V000, socks - V01, V000, V0000, cone - C2, C1, C00, hearts - R85, R83, R81
The products that aren't linked at the end of my post are - string of pearls -Live & Love Crafts, Marianne Creatable Decorative Elegance die, large butterfly & organza flowers - stash.
I'm entering my Valentine heart in the following challenges -
Inspire Me Friday - anything goes, Simply Magnolia - bingo (flowers, ribbon, punch/die), Sweet Stampin' - pearls & swirls, Anything But A Card - share the love, Come & Get It - love is in the air, Dream Valley - Valentines, Magnolia Down Under - love is all around, Stamptacular - from the heart, 2 Sisters - hearts, One Stop Craft - love is in the air, Brown Sugar - anything goes, Crafts 4 Eternity - Valentine, Crafty Catz - love is in the air, Simply Create Too - Valentine / hearts, Tilda's Town - anything goes, Totally Papercrafts - love/Valentine, Crafty Ribbons - anything goes, Hanna & Friends - anything goes, Marvelous Magnolia - hearts, Moving Along With The Times - only girls allowed

ReplyDeleteWow Mandy this is such a lovely project! I so get how you decided on the wallpaper, I always think of how much I could buy for the price of some things. I hope your arm will feel better! Hugs, Hanneke
ReplyDeleteLove your Tilda wreath! So pretty and love all the pearls, hearts and florals. She is precious. I cracked up when you wrote about how much the wall paper cost in "Tildas". I do that all the time when I try to decide if I want to buy something (That would buy a lot of stamps!)..
ReplyDeleteBeautiful wreath, Mandy! Glad you found some paper you like that didn't break the bank or consume all your Tilda funds! :)
ReplyDeleteWow Mandy, this is gorgeous. Love the image and the flower embellishments are just stunning. All in all a beautiful creation.
