Guard Of The Castle & Lazy Tilda! - Simon Says Stamp DT Card

Hello lovely peeps!
Thank you so much for your lovely comments, cards, flowers & support these past three weeks, I truly appreciate them all. I've received so many beautiful handmade cards from my Simon Says Stamp teamies, blog friends and even from one of my lovely Etsy customers, thank you xx

I am attempting to regain some sort of "normality" in our lives, even though life will never be the same again.

Today I am re-joining my lovely teamies & friends at Simon Says Stamp for our new challenge. I wanted to get back to crafting but did find it difficult as my mind wasn't where I wanted it to be, so I opted for an easy CAS card to get me started :)

It's Wednesday which means ..........    

 at

All the items used on this wall hanging were amongst my stash except for little Tilda.

My baby girl has now left home!

Last Thursday at the age of just 22 years Jodie became the landlady of the pub she has worked in for the last four years and she now lives in a huge flat above the pub. I spent two days cleaning & scrubbing it for her as it was filthy, it was so bad I even went off hoovering & I never thought anything would put me off hoovering lol.

I miss her being at home like crazy but of course that does mean we have a nice big bedroom going spare so I will once again be moving my craft room! I can't wait to get settled in there but the thought of moving & organising my stash again is not so appealing.

We are all so proud of our Jode and of course I couldn't miss a proud muma moment & had to take a piccy of her pouring her first pint as a landlady :)

That's me finished for today peeps, thanks for stopping by

Follow Me Tilda & New Pins Mini Candy!

Good afternoon lovely peeps,

It's bank holiday weekend here in the UK so of course it's a dull & wet Sunday, us Brits just love a wet bank holiday weekend it's kind of traditional unfortunately lol. My plans I had of gardening are on hold for now so I'm thinking a crafting & blogging day sounds a much better idea instead :)

 

Today I have another little wall hanging to share with you using one of Magnolia's 2015 World Wide Web Collection stamps called "Follow Me Tilda" & I think she is adorable.

 The copic colours I've used are -

skin - E11, E00, E000, R12, hair - E27, E31, E50, top & bow - RV95, RV93, RV91, skirt - W4, W2, W0, laptop - C3, C1, C00

 

The papers I've used are a mix of old Prima papers, Maya Designs, Bazzill, Simon Says Stamp Vintage & Khaki cardstock, & of course my absolute favourite Simon Says Stamp butterfly has made an appearance on this little wall hanging :)

 I have had these beautiful Magnolia Orchid dies for many months & this is the first time I have used them! I absolutely love them so why I have neglected them for such a long time is beyond me! I have used Ranger Inkssentials paper to die cut the orchids and then water coloured them with distress inks & added a brad & a few dots of stickles to finish them off.

I'm entering my wall hanging in the following challenges -
  613 Avenue Create - anything goes, Come & Get It - female project, Fairytale Stampers - bingo (middle row down- die, glitter, stitching) Glitter & Sparkle - anything goes, Pile It On - Mothers Day / For A Lady, That Craft Place - no cards, Be Crafty & Craft- anything goes, Crafts Galore - anything goes, Crafty Hazelnuts Patterned Paper - anything goes, Sisters Of Craft - anything goes, Tilda's Town - dies / punches, Brown Sugar - anything goes, Fussy & Fancy - flowers, Simply Create Too - pretty woman, Stempelsonnen - anything goes

This little wall hanging is now available in my Etsy shop.

 

I've been creating lots of new stick pins for custom orders & got on a roll and at last got around to creating some new ones for my Etsy store and also a mixed pack of pins as a mini giveaway.

If you'd like to win a pack of pretty pins all you need to do is leave a comment with the word "PINS" in & I will add you to the draw & announce the winner next weekend.

That's me finished for now lovely peeps, thanks for stopping by
