<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Yesterday I inked up one of my new Tilda's and made this card, I hope you like it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Selfie Tilda has her phone always in her hand, just like someone we all know...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I painted her with distress re-inkers and added some glamour dust to her shoes and phone</span></div>

Apologies for the wonky card, I was trying to balance it and take a photograph at the same time! The papers are Maja and I am desperate to buy more....no one has a choice collections in the UK and I adore Maja papers. The easel shape is cut with GoKreate dies and the daisy border die is Joy Craft, cut and separated to form a circle. The tag on the base opens for a greeting.<br />

There is cheesecloth around the image, a paper doily to one side, some cotton lace, a lace bow with a pearly heart, a painted wooden heart and pink and white flowers with Doohickey leaves.<br />

Thank You for looking<br />
Have a Lovely Day<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">March holds so much promise as the days go by.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">The clocks alter soon and we will have lighter evenings and warmer weather.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">The card I am showing today is a wedding card. Tilda and Edwin are saying their vows in the church, where the sun streams through the window.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I painted the image with distress re-inkers and added Crystal Glamour Dust to her dress. I kept it simple {for me}, as I wanted the image to say everything. The shape and papers were cut with GoKreate dies, the flower border and branch is made with Noor and the mat is Spellbinder. Papers are Pion Design, which I am using a lot at the moment as I love the additional sheets of ephemera. The sentiment is from Lili of the Valley. All I had to add was flowers, lace and pearls.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia";">Well, that's the end of 'The Beast from The East', that dumped so much snow here in south east England. Thank goodness! Now we can look towards Spring. Yay!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia";"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia";">So here's a Spring like card, made with one of my favourite stamps. I still like the new Magnolia stamps but feel they have become very similar and not at all like the older designs.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia";">What I loved about Tilda was her originality; little dresses and different poses...I miss them.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><strong><em><u>CHRISTMAS ANGEL TILDA</u></em></strong></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><strong><em><u></u></em></strong></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">This is my second card from the new Christmas Maggies; such a sweet little stamp. Her wings cry out for Glamour Dust and Stickles and we are allowed to use this liberally at Christmas!</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I admit to going a bit overboard with this card and adding lots of seasonal joy.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">However, I held back on lace this time! The Wild Orchid Craft flowers and holly leaves have added berries and pine cones. The shabby bark stars have white pearls to match the pearl string draped around Tilda. The seam binding bow holds a heart and an angel charm.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Dies; The card was cut with GoKreate dies, matted to textured white card. I think the border die is an old Marianne die, not sure...Snowflakes and main doily die are Joy Craft.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Angel Tilda was painted with distress inks with added liquid pearls and Glamour dust.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Papers are Maja Design.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Happy Dance,; my new stamps are here and they are so sweet and Christmassy! I had to stamp them up right away, and so far I've made two cards. One with the Christmas Angel Tilda and another with the Gingerbread Tilda.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">So today, I thought we would do the cute little Gingerbread Tilda. I've given her a gingerbread man to hold, and added two peppermint sticks to match the sentiment. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Now, I know traditionally she should be brown but never to be one to follow, I've painted her red. Because she told me to..ha-ha x</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">So lets list; a triple seam binding bow with pearly heart, A double sided Christmas stocking charm, with gingerbread man and peppermint canes, Roses and flowers from my stash with a cinnamon stick and tiny pine cones...collected on my travels; and berries. The lace is from the Ribbon Girl as is the seam binding and Glamour Dust.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Dies: Card cut with GoKreate dies, Fancy star and circle are Joy Craft dies and the holly leaves. I believe are Marriane dies, though I've had them so long its hard to remember.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Those gorgeous papers are from Maja Design of Sweden, layered onto white textured card.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">The clocks have gone back an hour here in the UK, so it's lighter in the mornings but will be darker earlier in the evenings.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">The first sign that Winter isn't far away.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">Todays card is another Christmas card. I know its Halloween, but not many folk send cards for this occasion here...hence so many Christmas cards.</span></div>

<u>This is a Friday post, because I thought yesterday was Saturday and put all my cards on eBay a day early!</u></h2>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I woke up today thinking it was Sunday...those of you who now me will realise this behaviour is quite normal for me. The words Fairy and Away With, come to mind, ha-ha.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Because of this mistake, I have another card to share.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Lots of things going on here. Sometimes I don't know when to stop and I'm quite aware of that. As usual I painted this Magnolia Tilda stamp with distress inks on watercolour paper. The holly leaves are made with Marianne Dies, the shape with GoKreate, and others are Joy Craft. I gathered some of my special lace on this card, shhhh...its reserved for special cards only. I don't want to run out!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The birds at the top are dusted with Glamour Dust so they twinkle.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The little tags are held with bakers twine and paper doilies surround the card.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Good Morning From Dreary Kent</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">where the sky is heavy and threatening rain....plus....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">the fireworks started yesterday for Diwali, so I have had two scared dogs to console AND I expect this will go on until after Christmas. Moaning me today!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Here is another Magnolia Christmas card. This time Tilda has her Winter coat on, 'cos it's snowing...hence going overboard with the Glamour Dust. Ha-ha.</span> </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">So this picture isn't very clear. Will change it later. The dies are Marianne, flowers are Wild Orchid Craft and I have added a little gesso here and there.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Tilda was painted with distress inks and the card was cut using Go-Kreate dies.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia";">I'm back from a two week break in The Dominican. Of course I started painting as soon as I got back. It's part of who I am and I will be lost without it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia";">This is today's Christmas card and it's made into an easel.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-t7c6t1VZQ-o/Wec8IKPmxQI/AAAAAAAAGKo/XSznVnWqzS8OeF6uGlvs8bdBmSvYSdViwCLcBGAs/s1600/8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1375" data-original-width="1600" height="342" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-t7c6t1VZQ-o/Wec8IKPmxQI/AAAAAAAAGKo/XSznVnWqzS8OeF6uGlvs8bdBmSvYSdViwCLcBGAs/s400/8.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All the dies used are Magnolia, but the wooden sentiment and skates were bought on line last year and decorated by me. The lace, doilies and flowers are from my stash and all papers are from Maja Design. I rarely use anything else..love the vintage feel to them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once again, Tilda has been painted with distress inks on watercolour paper and glittered.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The base has a tag, cut from a Magnolia die and it opens up for a Christmas greeting.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It has the same glittered ribbon, a diamanté snowflake and touches of gesso for snow.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"><u>Good Morning</u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">There's a nip in the air this morning. No doubt that Autumn has arrived, and the heating is on. I am going to bore you now, with yet another Christmas card.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">This one uses an older stamp, Tilda with Rudolph. I still use it a lot because it is so cute.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nmuTbJ7-pmw/WcIsNPYrlaI/AAAAAAAAGJI/6hLfi1EhV940jsejEHjLP_44sQK9lm3TQCLcBGAs/s1600/3.jpga.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1527" data-original-width="1600" height="381" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nmuTbJ7-pmw/WcIsNPYrlaI/AAAAAAAAGJI/6hLfi1EhV940jsejEHjLP_44sQK9lm3TQCLcBGAs/s400/3.jpga.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She has been painted with distress ink, mounted, and inked on the edges. I also glittered some snow flakes and added tiny pearls to the centres. This is a closer view of the image.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Glittered hat, trim and Rudolph's tum, but my camera doesn't capture it well.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
there are so many elements to this card, it's impossible to mention them all. Most of the diecuts are Magnolia and I have used lacy paper doilies in the background.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uP_Dga71ZjE/WcIv0vnakyI/AAAAAAAAGJk/6h4vwhCD1wEGSfILNBGkbeTMnDf0i2i1gCLcBGAs/s1600/3.jpga.jpga.jpga.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1232" data-original-width="1032" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uP_Dga71ZjE/WcIv0vnakyI/AAAAAAAAGJk/6h4vwhCD1wEGSfILNBGkbeTMnDf0i2i1gCLcBGAs/s320/3.jpga.jpga.jpga.jpg" width="268" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The lace holds a snowy fence from which Tilda's glittery ice-skates hang from beads.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And a double bow of seam binding has a diamanté and pearl embellishment.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Just for a change, I've used Magnolia paper and matched the ink by blending. She is painted in inks and Glamour Dust has been sprinkled at her feet and her hat.</span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">Always use Bazzill textured cardstock for both card and die cuts. It gives a stronger, more professional look.</span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">Swirls are Magnolia dies, others are Joy Craft.</span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">Added pearls for snow, and frilly lace is from my collection....which I love to stroke, and hate to use. </span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">Sob, sob.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">Hope you like this one and see you soon friends.</span></div>

<u><strong><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Hi Everyone</span></strong></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Long time no post !</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">The last time I used my blog was May 2016.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">I've had a rough year or so, but I'm now ready to post my cards again.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Due to the constant encouragement of my friends.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">I'm doing this on my phone, so we'll see how it works out.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Let's begin !</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Ok, this is a card I made last week, with a cute, new Magnolia Tilda stamp from their Summer2017</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jrJiGuucdfc/WbUDUTzi04I/AAAAAAAAGHU/eAaS76yMVoU41iSBHEKl78GIHJuCrcYTACLcBGAs/s1600/2.jpga.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1574" data-original-width="1600" height="627" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jrJiGuucdfc/WbUDUTzi04I/AAAAAAAAGHU/eAaS76yMVoU41iSBHEKl78GIHJuCrcYTACLcBGAs/s640/2.jpga.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">The papers are by Maja Designs. Two different collections actually, and that's what I like about Maja. The colours always mix and match, and tone beautifully with distress inks.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">I cut the card using Go Kreate dies and added border dies. The pretty top one is Joy Craft, use it a lot. Rose leaves are made with a Magnolia die.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">The flowers are mainly from Wild Orchid and lace/ribbon from my stash.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">Ok, now the image.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bwnVTBH2J6I/WbUHQYzcCfI/AAAAAAAAGHg/3KT5upCtWd073rUkCsDw02eeIH76tfZEQCLcBGAs/s1600/2.jpga.jpga.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1395" height="400" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bwnVTBH2J6I/WbUHQYzcCfI/AAAAAAAAGHg/3KT5upCtWd073rUkCsDw02eeIH76tfZEQCLcBGAs/s400/2.jpga.jpga.jpg" width="347" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">I masked my stamp and added this cute little dog.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">Tilda and her dog are painted with distress inks onto Langton Hot Pressed water colour paper. Her lacy socks and daisy have been glittered with Glamour dust, then I made two butterflies, who happen to be passing by...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">I hope you like the card.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">It's for sale on eBay until Saturday evening.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">Thank You For Popping By</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">Sending Hugs</span><br />
