Bears & Tilda's - Addicted To Stamps & Totally Tilda DT's

Good morning peeps,

I had a lovely day pottering in the garden yesterday, it was beautiful, sunny & hot and so nice to be outside, well it was until I had hysterics as I felt something in my hair and it was a flipping spider & I'm not talking a tiddler here neither. As I knocked it out my hair it landed on my shoulder and ran! I wasn't sure where it was heading other than towards my neck but quick as a flash I'd whipped my top off & ran inside shrieking. My god didn't that hurt my shoulder but by then I was far more concerned about where that beast was & I was bent double in the kitchen, hair untied and was frantically running my hands through my hair making sure he hadn't gone back in among my curls. I never did find it so hopefully he is still somewhere in the garden, or better still moved next door to live with one of my neighbours lol.

Today is new challenge day at

A Big Catch Up - Totally Tilda & Paper Play DT & La La Land GDT

Hello peeps,

I'm so sorry I've neglected my blog & visiting you all, I have loads to get through today and catch up on posting DT & GDT cards. I've had two flipping migraines this week, the second I thought was just a hangover at first & the result of a lot of wine consumption after going out on a "ladies night" but then I had the blurred flashing lights in my vision etc & couldn't believe I was having another one as usually it's very rare that I get migraines. It's probably just stress & tiredness as I am such an insomniac, I'm convinced I was an owl in a past life lol.

I thought I'd attempt a quick post, yeah right good luck with that champion waffler lol.

PAPER PLAY

 this weeks challenge is

SENTIMENTAL

so we don't want to see images, just sentiments.

This one was a last minute card as I already had my DT card made but when I discovered this neglected never been inked stamp in my stash I had to have another play :)

Ingredients - Cats Life Press sentiment, Raspberry Road papers, Kort & Godt & Wild Orchid flowers, MS Aspen PATP, MS Himalayan snowflake punch, Karrs & The Ribbon Girl bling, large snowflake  was a gift from a lovely lady :)

My last card today is my original DT card for Paper Play, it was a comissioned card I made a few weeks. It's not my usual style but was nice for a change & so quick and easy to make. I had to put it straight in the box when I'd finished making it as I have trouble stepping away from the card until it's piled high with embellies so I thought it best to try the out of sigh out of mind approach lol.

Ingredients - Melissa Frances paper, Cheery Lynn butterflies, Zva Creative pearl flourish, MS PATP, ribbon & lace from stash

That's me all caught up :)

I don't know quite where this last week has gone, hopefully next week will be a nicer more chilled out and creative week.

Thanks for stopping by
