Tilda with Wrapped Heart

Good Morning friends

Hope you have all had a good week. I have been a very bad blogger recently. The wedding has really taken its toll with me and I have been so tired. It was lovely to be able to help them but decorating the venue, bridesmaid dress alterations (11.15 the night before) and the catering has left me completely drained and not wanting to even switch my computer on let alone comment.

I am back this week however fulfilling my DT roles - (thank you so much for allowing me this break in my duties) and I will be visiting your lovely blogs today.

The card below was a commission. The lady wanted a card for her daughter who is going off to uni and she saw by looking at my blog that personalised verses were available. The verse is thanks to hubby and I will create tab at top of my page and add the verse for you to look at if you wish.
I have used a favourite of mine Tilda with wrapped heart.

Thank you all for stopping by and to my new followers. It is lovely to see you here and I really appreciate the comments you leave. I will catch up with you all later today.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges

Eureka Stamps - Be Sentimental
Crafty Ribbons - Anything Goes with ribbon
Love To Scrap - Bingo (bling, diecuts, flowers)

I am back

Good Morning friends.

I am sooo tired. We had a lovely wedding but it has certainly taken it out of me. Six hours sleep in two days is just not enough. The morning of the wedding I was awake at 3am and just could not sleep so at 5.30, Russ and I were up preparing all the food. Russ used to be a chef so it was a doddle for him and a fabulous job he did. Jade and Scott had a wonderful day - I will post some photos when we get them from the photographer.

I am supposed to be making a card for Diva's today but I am just to tired to craft so apologies and I promise to be back for the following challenge.

Here is the card I made for Jade and Scott.

I could resist no longer and have joined the masses and bought the La La Land Heart Banner Die - I love it.

A change from my colour scheme of late - pink - and used the wedding colour theme.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges

I have missed you all

Good Afternoon friends.

I have withdrawal symptoms and just had to post a card. Wedding preparations are coming along nicely so I am having some time off to show you my latest make.

How are you all. I have been looking at your posts but have not had time to do any commenting but I am hoping to rectify that later today.

For my card I have used Fairy Dust Tilda. She is a favourite of mine and love colouring her in.

Tilda is blowing all my blogging friends a kiss.

I have masked the image and stamped the Love stamp behind her.

I will list all the details of products at the bottom of the page. The ribbon will not be on the list as it is from The Pretty Little Ribbon shop which is now closed.

I am getting addicted to Pion Papers - you were quite right Janine. Lucky for me we had to go to the Corn Exchange in Doncaster on Saturday so I just had to go the Which Craft shop and stock up on a few more.
