Here I Am Tilda


Here I am again!!
Two posts in two days!! I am doing well.. :D

I managed a little playtime yesterday and it was one of those times when I couldn't put it down until it was finished. 
Ive had this idea in my head as soon as I saw 'Here I am Tilda' masked with the window stamp from an earlier collection. This must be one of my most used Magnolia Stamps.
Both available at Sir Stampalot

I tried to create the Clematis flowers like in the picture above using the DooHickey Peony Die. I just love this flower when it is in full bloom.

 Again I used lots of DooHickeys
 and as always I coloured with Distress Re-Inkers
Papers are Maja Coffee In The Arbour
Other bits and pieces of lace are from the Ribbon Girl Shop

Thankyou so much for stopping by today.
I wish you an amazing week ahead :D
Hugs for now

A Summer Tag

Hello There
How are you?
 I hope you are managing to stay cool in this heat wave we are having!!! Phew! its a warm one for sure. But Im not complaining....not just yet anyhow!!

Today to share is a Summer inspired  Tag for the  new Magnolia Challenge over at the Ribbon Girls.

I was cooling down swimming in the Meditteranean!! (In my dreams..hey!! :D) and this was beneath me deep in the ocean..;D

I did really enjoy making this with Magnolia's DooHickey Summer kit Dies. Though Im not too sure they are still available as they were a limited edition :(..
Other DooHickeys I used were Peony,Rose Petal and Vintage Photo Frames

All Laces and embellies are from the amazing Ribbon Girls shop...I used
Oval Ivory Pearl Trim, Cheesecloth, 10mm Ivory Pearl Daisy Trim, Andrea Ivory Flower Fine Cluny Lace, Pearl Brad, Lily Flowers Large/Medium, Prima Treasures Oval Resin Frame, Green Seam Binding, Beaded Berries Ivory, Clear Dewdrops, Irridescent Hearts and Ships Wheel Charm

and I cant forget the Seahorses. I wanted a shiny, glistening effect so I used Aged Silver Frantage and while still hot sprinkled with Frantage Shaved Ice

Paper are the gorgeous Riddersholm Tailgate Marked.
I just LOVE Love LOVE these papers. They are great to work with Dies and water....

Hope you like it as much as I love making it

I took my photos using my Mobile phone this time.Its supposed to be 13 million pixels where my usual camera is only 5 million. It also has fancy things you can do, so im still learning.

The flower is made with my DooHickey Pointsettia Die.
Other dies are Doohickeys Pinwheel, Scalloped Tag and the new shape die,

Even Prince William and Kate passed through my village yesterday!!! :D

On the route there's banners and flags flying everywhere..
Here are some pics of the welcome they are going to get.

This church that's replaced god with a yellow jersey.
This is painted on one of the local rds and the huge! shirt is hung on Skipton Church Clock.


This is actually down the rd from my home. hee hee
