TILDA MEETS JOANNA SHEEN!!

Hi everyone!

Well the sun in shining - well in Southend anyway, and the weather is slightly warming up ( if that wind stops blowing!! ), so I thought a get Tilda out and make her all spring like!!. The stamps I chose were Spring Tida and Pink Tilda with heart ( close to my heart, breast awarness - for my lovely nan who passed away with this illness ) meets Joanna Sheen!!. I looked at these stamps and I thought how cute they would look sitting on the flowerpot stamps and extra bits (from the Messy Rabbit range ), and I think it works really well. I love looking at all my stamps to see what else I can do with them, mixing and matching because we all know stamps and other crafty bits are not always cheap!!

Wow!, What a great day!!

Hi All!,

I was up at the crack of dawn this morning, getting ready to go to Ally Pally, and I was not disappointed!!
Just say I spent a small fortune, but it was certainly worth it. I was like a kid in a sweet shop, so many goodies you just did'nt know where to start!
First I popped to Craftworks cards to get the essential 6 x 6 card/envelopes, then over to the Whiff of Joy to buy some beautiful stamps - 10 in total ( I know HOW MANY, but they were sooo gorgeous I coudn't help myself :o) )
Then I bought a couple of Cuttlebug embossing folders - birds & swirls and Daisey pattern, then I saw some lovely flowers - doodle flora - so I bought a few of them as well ( I won't tell you how many - I think you might be a bit shocked!!)
So it went from there, going to stall to stall, picking up a few bits and pieces like 3 Martha Stewart border punches, 5 Sugar Nellie stamps, 3 Lili of the Valley, 2 Sarah Kay stamps, ribbon, more flowers and memento tuxedo ink pad!!!

Yes, I think I will be a busy bee for the foreseeable future, but I did have alot of fun and my lovely Steve was sooo good he carried my bags!! ( I did buy him chinese for dinner tonight to say thank you :o) !!)

My goodies!!

More goodies and my MS punches!

My lovely new stamps!

An over view of my new goodies!!

So when we finally got home, I had another surprise, my new Magnolia stamp and magazine was here, so I quickly hid them before Steve saw them, hee hee hee.
Anyway, enough of me waffling on, must go and watch the rest of Harry Potter and have a brows around!!

Take care, hope you like my goodies, and thanks for looking :o)

Bye Bye for now, love Vicky xx

Hi,

My challenge today was to use free papers we receive in craft magazines!!

How many of us look at the free papers and never use them?? , well I do!!

I receive many mags thoughout the month, far to many to mention, but today I did receive my new copy of Quick cards made easy and guess what?, free papers!!

That gave me a challenge, and inspiration to use them, with these new Sarah Kay stamps that arrived today too.

How sweet you are - free papers!, Ribbon from stash, pearls from stash, flowers from flora Doodles, faux stitching, spiced marmalade distress ink and nesties.

Elodie in the garden - free papers from QCME, ribbon from stash, flowers stamped from a creative expressions stamp plate, card candy, broken glass distress ink and nesties.

Spring is back - free papers from QCME, ribbon from mag, flowers from creative expressions stamp plate, broken glass distress ink and nesties.

All stamps were coloured in with Promarkers.

I think I done quite well with the papers, and I have many more to use!!. I normally print most of my papers from CDroms, which I love especially Funky Hands, Polka Doodles, Joanna Sheen to name a few, but ink seems to have gone in price, as I found out today!! ( 2 cartridges=£35!!).

Try the challenge yourself, you might find you save a few pennies to buy other goodie!!

Take care :o)

Bye bye for now x

Big thank you!!

I hope you like these cards !!
