My New Tilda's oooooooooh

Good Evening All,
how are you all tonight? I hope you are all well.

It's been my day off today and I waited in all morning 'cos I had a sneaky suspision that my new Christmas Tilda's were on their way, well just when I couldn't wait any longer, I popped out to get me some dinner from Greggs and when I got te the front door who was there but the postie with a parcel full of Tilda's :D

So guess what I've been doing all day????

Honest I've had a great day I've stamped LOADS of these gorgeous girlies so I have something to color tomorro night whilst I am watching the phenemon that is JEDWARD!

Just watched the Peter Kay special so Im off to get my Peter Kay DVD's out as it has put me in the mood to watch him some more.

For my glitzy card I have followed the sketch on Just Magnolia, and in the pic it looks like Tilda has a nose but its just a stray bit of glitter - LOL!

Hope you've all had a good day! x

A Few Challenges together!

Evening Everyone!

Hope you've all had a good day, I had to take today off as the heater in my kitchen is broken, & having it working really comes in handy for drying clothes in the winter, keeps the kitchen lovely & warm & stuff dries much quicker! He came about 4pm - glad I waited in ALL day then lol!

Whilst I waited I deceided I would make a card t join in with a challenge, this one actually fits into two challenges so I didn't do too bad now did I??

First challenge is Three Clovers - this week it's a sketch to follow, I LOVE this sketch & will use again & again!! Next up is Color Create their colors this fortnight are blue, silver & white!

All card stock is from the paper mill, cuttlebug snowflakes embossing folder, snowflake charm from the works, Max & Snowman stamped in memento & colored with pro markers & Cuttlebug snowflake cut & glittered, sentiment printed from PC.

I am thinking I LOVE using charms & may get more as I got a pack of 6 from the works for only £1, the chain was from Fenwicks at £1.50 a metre & jump rings at 99p - I think it was all quite good prices or am I wrong??
