More frizzy Tilda and halfway through the washing!!! Yaay!

Howdy peeps! 

Well the end is in sight for the yearly monster wash!! Lol!! And the monster in question is down the beach having a BBQ with his friends as I type! Alright for some eh!?!

So onto this fortnights challenge over at Simply Magnolia And we have a truly beautiful Sketch for you all!!

Wow I really enjoyed using this sketch and I am sure I will be using it again!!

Here is my take on it:

Yup it's Frizzy Tilda again!! I just love this cutie!! I have gone for a more "traditional" feel for this card rather than the funky one last time! :) I have coloured the image with my copics:

Skin - E 000,00,21,11

Hair - E 40,42,44,47

clothes - B 91,93,95 and B90 which I made myself by taking an empty pen and mixing B91 with colourless blender!

Flower - RV 91,93 and YR21,23,18

The beautiful papers are Maja, the flowers a mix of Kort & Godt and WOC, the metal corner is also WOC and has been frantaged with shabby pink and chunky white, as has the pennant banner and various parts of the card! the lace is from Ribbon girl!

Shhhh.. Don't tell the washing machine I'm sitting down!!!

My washing machine isn't very happy with me!!!

Yes it's that time of the year again... Boy wonder has arrived home from 2 weeks at cadet summer camp, and to say his washing is ripe is not only an understatement, but a downright lie!! lol!! And yes I can tell Logan is getting older (16 in November) rather than looking shamefaced at the green cloud rising from his bags, he chased his poor mother around the kitchen with the bag containing the worst offenders!!! Urrghhh!!  

Onto happier news! Logan got his exam results this week: He passed every subject and got 5 credits! so proud of him! Thank you so much Tracy for being the voice of reason when I was panicking!! Now onto the year of hell where he need to pass 4 highers 3 A's and a B to get into the Engineering course he wants!! Although he is now not sure he want to be an engineer, as he would prefer something more "hands on"! So time will tell!

Well it's time for another fantastic challenge over at Basic Grey Challenges! this fortnight we are as always sponsored by the wonderful Simon Says Stamp who are offering one lucky winner a $25 spending spree! So we would love to see your creations with the theme of :

She sells sea shells!! - sea shell Tilda for Simply Magnolia

Good Afternoon!

Well it's that time of year again! Logan has left home to go to Cadet camp for 2 weeks! And Robert has gone offshore for a week or two so I am all on my lonesome!!! :( ........ Oh who am I kidding I am doing the happy dance in my undies!!!! I do get a little lonely, but wow do I love, watching what I want, eating what I want when I want, crafting and generally having a ball!! Well ok I do tend to try and do a bit of a spring? Summer cleaning done, Sorry Jenny I know I disappoint you!! Lol!! I may even get some real crafting done although Mojo has been missing so long I think I may have to list it as dead! really not sure what is going on with afore mentioned Mojo it just doesn't seem to be getting any better, I do think it is linked to my health though, with my Fibromyalgia I just don't seem to have any energy at the moment!

sunshine and Summer Wedding Tilda

Good afternoon!

Well today it is overcast and a little foggy here in Dundee! But I am not going to complain we have had more sunshine so far this summer than the last 5 put together! :) and I guess fog is something you have to live with when you live on the coast!

This fortnight over A Basic Grey challenges we have a lovely challenge for you!

Flowers

Don't forget to use a basic grey product!

It has to be said I am in my comfort zone when it comes to my lovely Maggies! I have used summer Wedding Tilda, and coloured her with my copics. I have stamped her with Grey flannel memento ink and in the pic her face looks a little washed out! It doesn't look so bad in real life, but I think I may have to darken her features in future! I have used "Sugared" paper from of course basic grey! This is one of my all time fav's! the banner is my lovely La La land Die and my fav joy crafts butterfly! the flowers are cosmo daisies from WOC the pearls, lace and ribbon are from my stash!
