Sweet treat Tilda

Hi everyone, well its been another Crafty day as Hubby is poorly with a chest infection, so good excuse to play and keep the house quiet, well apart from the racking cough that keeps thundering through it ... He is on Antibiotics so hopefully he will feel better soon :)
Well here is my card for the Totally Sweet Treat Tilda Challenge, Huge Thanks to the Lovely friend who stamped the image for me xx

I cut the image out with a nestie and coloured her with promarkers, added a little pink stickles to my Icing, added some candy to the corners. Thank you for calling by today catch up later xx

Is it here?????

Spring I mean.. I really thought we had it on our doorsteps..but it changes every day. Today we have very strong winds again, forecast to reach 50mls an hour, I really struggle in the wind with Angina, so it may have to be a day crafting again....oh! life is so hard....lol
Today card has certainly got spring in the air, I thought I would bring you a little Sunshine and this was the outcome. I used old papers from my Stash..don't know what make sorry. My favourite LOTV Image, isn't she adorable. I coloured her with Promarkers and added a little Stickles to her.I cut the Doilies with a large Multi Shape punch which I bought a few years ago, I think I bought it from Debbie Moore!Added Buttons/ribbon/flower from my Stash, I needed a bug so hope my Dragon Fly charm will count as a bug :) Have a Super day whatever you are doing and stay safe. xxx Mau

I am entering card into the following Challenges..

First for Raffia..


Well here is this weeks attempt at the Less is More Sketch Challenge, I have used Raffia for the very first time on a card...just because I loved the colours and they sort of fell into my shopping basket :) I was only looking at them really but ...well you know how it is xx

I think the colours made me think of Palm Sunday and as I need some Easter cards making quickly, I decided to sort with this. Hope it fits the bill. I have actually made another couple of cards for this sketch so I may enter those too. I really need to get to grips with this challenge as as I find them so difficult.. but like them at the same time....lol

will manage to visit some Blogs after tea I hope.

Hugs xxxx Mau

This Blog Challenge will see me off....

Well no wonder they call them Challenges...... Not only is CAS out of my Comfort zone but... Now Chrissie and Mandi want a MANS card. Do they realise what they are asking of me....lol
I think this may have to be for my SIL in June... if not it would mean I had to make another mans card, and that would be the end of me :( I really need to get to grips with masculine cards as I freeze whenever I think of them. I do know that my SIL would not be pleased with ribbons, bows and flowers which is a shame...ha-ha
Anyway here is my entry for Less is More Masculine Challenge I will keep coming back girls ..you won't frighten me off :)) :)) Hugs Mau xx

Wow! Spring has Sprung : )


What a Gorgeous day! in fact what a gorgeous week, I really think Spring is here ladies. Doesn't it give you that feel good factor :)
I have however struggled with a very painful leg since Monday.. what I did I have no idea! I thought I had twisted my knee as I often do.. (its dodgy from an old injury) but this was the muscle area down the inside of the knee and I have not been able to walk for pain, or even lift my toes off the floor : ( moans over...lol
Now to better things.. Crafting, This is a card I have made for Create Colour Challenge greens/Browns etc Love green so this was a joy to create... that really is corny as You will see the Beautiful Image is Joy, I adore these images and can't wait to have them all.
I bought my first ever Copic markers at Harrowgate show on saturday and this is my first effort with them so hints and tips will be gratefully accepted. I think I need lots of practice!! I noticed I did forget to pink her lips :0 and I think she is a bit ROSY....lol
Have a Good day everyone, Mau xx
