Daughters Birthday card...

It is my daughter,Holly's,21st birthday on Tuesday,April fools day!!!! So I have made her this card,as she did comment that she liked it as I was colouring it in.
Doesn't time fly?! 21!!!!!! I remember my 21st,Holly was 1 week old!!!!Bless!!!

I made this card with another new Tilda.paper is DCWV from a pad.Initials are Making Memories,I coloured with sakura pen & then glazed.Rest from stash.

Thats my lot for today!!! What makes you think I missed my crafting?!!!

Have a luvly evening & Thanx 4 lookin :o)x

Grungy...

Not my usual style,but fancied having a go,saw it in some mag!!!
I had to scrumple pic after colouring,then smooth out,then rub over with sanding block.It gives an aged,distressed look to image.I also inked all the edges for effect.
I rather like it,my Husband was horrified,haha!!!
I used K&Co Wild Saffron papers again,stazon,timber brown ink pad,all other stuff K&Co (can u tell they are my fave brand!!!)
Thanx 4 lookin :o)x

Busy,Busy....

I have been very creative today,making 4 cards in total!!!

If you were wondering where I had gone,I was taken by ambulance ,on wednesday night ,to hospital.I had an operation 3 weeks ago & they are not sure if I had an infection,something was stuck,or the op hasn't worked!
Been a long few days,away from my family & doggies!
Feel much better now,got millions of tablets & they are all huge!YUK!!!
I missed my blog,so had to jump straight on here when I got home,lol!!!
Good to be back :o)x

I coloured her with prismas & sansador.

Waiting for Postie!!!!

I am being very patient, waiting for my new Tilda stamp to arrive,then I can see if she is small enough to fit on my ATC for this weeks Tilda & Friends challenge!!!
I really enjoy these lil ATC's.
Waiting for some goodies off ebay too,so maybe they will all work together,that would be fab!
Could anyone help me with my signature thingy,I don't know where to put it,it is talking about HTML stuff & with me being a bit of a brain-donor,I can't fathom it out,LOL!!!
Thanx,
