Tilda visits Edwin Claus.....

Morning Peeps!

I hope you are reading this & I have managed to get it to post at a scheduled time.....I never normally can do it!!

I'm currently loving using more than 1 Magnolia stamp on my cards, on this one Tilda has gone to Visit Edwin Claus to drop off her Christmas Wish List, Edwin is checking his list as he is a wee bit unsure to wether or not Tilda is on the good list, just when he thinks he's found her she helps herself to a present!!

I've used card from paper mill, paper is forever friends cosy Christmas, Magnolia stamps Santa Edwin, Chair & Sneaky Tilda all stamped in Memento & colored with pro markers, LOTV sentiment & ribbon from my stash.

I do hope you've enjoyed yourself at Edwin Claus' lodge, he cant stick around for long as he is MEGA busy making sure he has lots of pressies for me as today is my birthday & only 34 days 'til Christmas!!! See you soon!!! x x x

Ps its Sunday so pop over to Jacque's Blog for another Sunday Sensation from Magnolia-licious!

Edwin & Edwin sitting on a Card K-I-S-S-I-N-G!

Wooooooooooooooooooo Hoooooooooooooooooooo Hello Everyone! I ope you are all well I am up VERY Early for the weekend but I currently have builders putting scaffolding up on my building & they have been starting VERY early, so I think Im used to being up at this time!

Im here with a Christmas card I've made for my pal James, he only came to work with us last December but I can't imagine the place without him....I've had to a couple of times as he's quite dramatic & keeps handing his notice in!! Lol So I thought I would make James a special card....James is gay & I thought I cant send im Tilda kissing Edwin, so I mentioned this to Nat & being the clever little thing that she is she flipped an Edwin round for me so now Edwin is kissing Edwin!

I've used a scalloped card blank (Ibought these from the Crafts for Christmas @Newcastle Arena so cant remember who I got them from) card from the paper mill, paper is Magnolia, Kissing Edwin's have been colored with pro markers & sat on a heart nestie which has been embossed with swiss dots embossing folder & I added "To Someone Special" LOTV circle sentiment.

I'd love to know what you think to James' Card?? I'm off to see if I can make some more cards for my work mates as theres 25 of them!! :( I MAY be back later on with something else I make LOL See Ya Laters!! x x x x

Oh & I haven't even mentioned this ONCE on my blog so I feel like I MUST now...........I am SUPER Excited for Robbie Williams to be back in Take That!!!! After 2 & a half hours I managed to get tickets to te concert at the Stadium of Light on the 30th May 2011!!! Also as it's a propper rainy day I thought I'd leave you with a rainy theme song!! Enjoy.....

Tilda & Edwin decorate the Christmas tree

Hello Everyone!

Wooooooooooooooooooooooo it's Saturday BUT I'm off to work :( BUT X Factor night tonight :) I cant wait to see what my fave Wagner gets up to!! LOL

I have made my card today with Tilda & Edwin from the new Christmas collection......as soon as I saw this Edwin I HAD to have him I think he is extra cute!!! I can think of loads of this to do with him. It was Tilda I struggled with, I thought Ohhhhh I'll stamp her with the Christmas tree, of I went to root through my stamps only to realise I dont have the blinking tree do I so that was a waste of 10 minutes oops! Then I saw Super cute Edwin and as they are both decorating the tree I thought they went perfectly together!!! Card stock from paper mill, forver friends DP, Tilda & Edwin colored with pro markers & stickles added round the edge of Nestabilities label. Greeting is from a 99p set - I LOVE them!!!

I hope you like my little card......it's inspired me to.....................................put my tree up!!! So I may do that on my next day off! LOL Hope you all have a great day, see you all soon!!! x x x

No matter how hard you try Edwin isn't giving up his present!!

that's how it looks doesn't it!!! Lol Awwww poor Edwin imagine someone stealing your Christmas pressies....well if it was a Robbie Williams CD I'd have a think about it Lol!

I hope you've all had a FAB Saturday...I've been at work & now I'm relaxing as I watch Strictly Come Dancing & only 10 minutes til X-Factor & Wagner is unleashed again!

I have a new card for today.....I've used my new card blanks I can't remember the name who their by & I'm gutted bout that as I really like them they are nice & thick..just like me Lol!! Card stock from paper mill, paper dovecraft, plain & scalloped circle nestie cut on Cuttlebug & Edwin holding present colored with pro markers, "comfort & joy" one of those little clear 99p sets..........I like them!

Hope you've all had a good day....catch you later! x x x

Honest Santa I've been good.....

Evening Folks,

I hope you're all well....I have been kept busy with this card today. Honest I feel like I'v been making it for about 2 years lol! I hate being blonde & getting distracted by the littlest thing...anyone else struggle with this??

Anyway back to my card......I've made it for the challenge on the Truly Scrumptious blog their challenge is a sketch with the added twist of an easel card...now I didn't really need an excuse to make an easel card as I do love them but I saw the sketch & didn't really love it at first but after looking at the DT work I thought this is one challenge I must do....so well done DT!! Lol

My card is 6x6 bigger than I normally make...but seens as it's Christmas why not.....card is from the Paper Mill the vintage christmas box, paper is Forever Friends cosy christmas, brads are dovecraft, corners have been embossed with cuttlebug swiss dots, & plain & scalloped ovals cut with nestabilities on cuttlebug, Magnolia Tila & Santa Edwin colored with pro markers.

When I first saw this Tilda I knew I wanted to have a greeting with something about being good.....and measuring it with the size of your arms as I used to do this for everything when I was little!!! I hope you all like my little card for today& can pop back to see me soon!

I'm off to see what else I can come up with.....TTFN X x X

Making it With Meslyn....

.....Good Morning!!!!!
OMG I can't believe it's 08.32 & I am up & awake & I don't start work 'til 1pm! It's not raining so thats a bonus start to the day but I suppose there's still time LOL

My card to share with you today is for the challenge at Making it with Meslyn....it was my choice of a theme this time & I'm finally starting to think about my Christmas cards so I thought this would give me a boost! My theme is Christmas!

For my card I have used a card blank from my stash, paper by Bo Bunny (isn't it gorgeous!!), The winter forest & little Edwin are both stamps by Magnolia, they have both been colored with Pro Markers. Edwin is mine & my new blogging/email buddy Corinne sent me the Winter's Forest image. THe greeting is a little clear Dovecraft stamp which I bought from the Paper Mill for 99p! There was about 5 on a sheet bargain eh?!?! I stamped in Memento & cut out using plain & scalloped nesties on my Cuttlebug.

Now I don't often say this but I like my little Edwin card as I think he's perfect for a male Christmas card - what do you think??? I hope you will all pop over to our blog & join in with us as this theme is so open anything Christmassy will fit right in, see you over here!!!

To get you in the Christmas mood I have a little Christmastune to share with you:

For my card card stock from paper mill, paper My Minds Eye, brads Making Memories, Edwins & Sea Porthole & sea banner colored with pro markers, greeting stamped with a little clear stamp that I have no idea where it came from LOL!

Tilda & Edwin kissing at Christmas....

.....eeee aren't Tilda & Edwin naughty kissing under the mistletoe!LOL I've been wanting to make a shaped easel card for a while & here is my first attempt..... I used heart plain & scalloped nesties, magnolia paper (the berry paper is my fave!! I flinch when cutting into it!) I colored Tilda & Edwin in pro markers in lovely Christmassy colors & the greeting was printed from my pc says "Christmas wishes & Mistletoe Kisses". Card doesnt really stand up properly like an easel should, so sssssssh don;t tell anyone but all in all not too bad for a first attempt, or would you disagree??

I'm watching Buffy right now.......my my my the delish David Boreanaz is in this but I must admit I prefer him as FBI Agent Seeley Booth, so I may switch to Bones after another episode......(PS have you seen my eye candy shop & the bottom of my sidebar...any suggestions on who else should feature there??) See you all soon x x x

Dangling Edwin..

....is dangling on my blog today OMG I'm loving these images (Thanks soooo much Nat for copies!) As soon as I saw this Edwin I was like nahhhhh I don't like him....as you can see I have changed my mind I think he's super cute! Only thing I dont like is I should've had the ship background lower as to not see so much of the white scallop but hey you learn by your mistakes ...so they say!

Stripe paper is printed from the WWW, card stock from the papermill, images magnolia colored with pro makers, Martha Stewart double loop punch, doodlebug rik rak ribbon & plain & scalloped circle nesties cut & embossed in cuttlebug.

Ooooooooooooo I hope Magnolia & Mr Postie send these images quick smart I don't think I can wait much longer.........(can you hear me drumming my fingers impatiently on my desk???) I'm gonna have a day with DVD's still feeling dodgy, waiting my blood test results & right now I'm watching Bad Girls, remember when it was good & not trashy like Footballers Wives, well Im watching way back at the beginning of the good part!! See you all soon!! x x x x

Are you sure....

...you're really a Prince??? Hmmmmm Tilda doesn't look so sure does she??? LOL I started this card yesterday & have finished it today.

Of course I went for pinks & glitter...my card stock is from the paper mill, paper is Magnolia, images are Fairytale Tilda, Prince Edwin & Phillip Frog all stamped in memento & colored with Pro Markers, Martha Stewart doily lace edge punch, ribbon from my stash & plenty of stickles EVERYWHERE!

I hope you are all well today.... I'm still feeling dodgy but ben for blood tests today so hopefully back to normal soon. I have a special Birthday card to make I only have til next Sunday aarrgghhh! I've also been trying to get a start on my Christmas cards even had the Christmas flicks on to inspire me.... I've watched The Santa Clause 1 &2, Miracle on 34th Street & Santa Claus the move..now onto Bernard & the Genie...I love this film! See you soon if I amnage to put anything else together.... x x x

Every Princess needs a Prince especially one that..

.... brings you shoes! ROFL!!!! It's true isn't it??? My card for today is Princess Tilda & Prince Edwin, I wanted to keep Princess Tilda in white & then as I colored her I remembered I had Prince Edwin, now when I saw Edwin I HAD to have him & until now I haven't used him - OMG I know shock Horror!!!

My card blank can be found here, card stock from paper mill, white card has been embossed with cuttlebug little hearts embossing folder, Tilda & Edwin have been stamped in memento & colored with pro markers also I blinged them up with crystal & silver ice stickles, plain & scalloped heart nestabilities cut on my cuttlebug & Martha Stewart doily lace heart punch.

My greeting has been printed from my PC in the font "Sunshine in my Soul" one the front it says "One day my Prince will come..." & inside I'm going to put "...Fingers crossed he brings shoes!!" Perfect for any girlie birthday card or just to send 'cos you want too!!!!

Just for a change I'm watching Bones - & of course as I'm watching Bones I'm drooling over Seeley Booth LOL!!! Will be back later to see if I can come up with anything else...see you soon x
