50th Birthday

Hello... this post is not the one i had in mind

and lets hope that Mr blogger will let me add pictures

and he will not...am not sure why

and I have not got the time to look into it...

is anyone else having problems with him

I am going to Paul's sisters 50Th tonight

and I was going to show the card...

I will try and have another go later if I get five 

I have school run, dentist and pick Paul up...

then the drive back to Grimsby

I was so looking forward to showing too

the numbers toni sent me look fab..

until later on

Claire

Brown, Sewing, Tilda and a charm

Evening to you all

I hope you had a lovely weekend

Celebrating or if not crafting

I woke up at 5am this morning 

and by the time Paul was up I had made 4 more cards!!

Then we had breakfast, packed the car

and headed to see Paul's mum.

She was fine and enjoyed playing with my new punches

I have a Tilda to show

and I am so pleased I spent the extra time

and actually did some sewing

There she is... All in browns

I even distressed the doily!!

The sewing around the edge is real

and I will have to do this more often 

Tilda is paper pieced

I even went as far as sewed the edge of the doily so it matched

Added some mulberry flowers, gems and a charm

the sentiment was a freebie stamp with a magazine

Here is a side shot so you can see the inside of the card,

I am going to enter this into the following challenges

Simon says Stamp -  Anything Goes

Make it monday - Linky 

Papertake Weekly - Anything Goes

I hope you all have a good week

and I will see you again soon hopefully

I will be here but will you !!!

Orange Tilda

Second post of the evening for me

I know its strange but am posting as I make

As I seem to have a back log of Pictures

So here is Tilda coloured

ready to be paper pieced

 And here she is paper pieced  I did two of them

But I am showing only the orange one

 Here she is on the card

with flowers !!!

 I have not used flowers for ages and ages

So thought I would give it a go

Still think I need another one at the bottom

 Side view so you can see I have done inside also

and I used one of my new edge punches

So there she is...

I have to admit the second card I made

with brown Tilda is so much nicer..

I will show you her tomorrow

Thanks for stopping by

And I have used them already

Punches

 Are they not lovely... and am sure the snowflake one will come in handy

what with Christmas card making in the next couple of weeks

Oh and then I saw these.... 

they are made from something hard...lol

Can not for the life of me remember now I am writing this post

 And some lovely flowers.. all in

PINK

I do tend to make mainly Girly cards....

Although I am going to keep an eye out for neutrals

and Maybe just maybe order some more

It is that time of year coming up in a couple of weeks

so I have asked for a paper trimmer as a pressy
