About Me

My Photo
Hi my name is Tab and I'm married to Leigh, and we live in a little village in Leicestershire, UK with our very cuddly Shih Tzu called Teddy and between him and Leigh they make me laugh each day! I love to spend my time either doing a bit of crocheting or inking up a rubber stamp....truly love both and I love to dabbling in a bit of cake decorating too :o)

With Love……….

 

Well I do apologise for my absence…..I have been writing this post for 2 days now and still I have only just published it LOL……shocking……..I kept getting side tracked with other things….but anyway, here I am with a card to share.

I made this card last week when my Magnolia Stamp Club Kit arrived…..and boy oh boy are these new images to die for :o)…….I adore each and everyone of them, and just had to ink one up….I have no idea what she is called yet or when they will be released for individual sale, but I am sure it won’t be long now.

I just love these colours together…….mmmmm delish {it is dark brown and not black LOL}…….and if you noticed I have used some of that fab Tim Holtz Film Stripe in my flowers, took me ages to get hold of some…ordered it from the US in the end and it worked out cheaper, even with postage than in the UK LOL….go figure LOL…….but I am having terrible trouble getting it back in the little tin it comes in……I can’t get it small enough and it keeps popping out my hands and shooting around the table LOL……I gave up in the end as it seemed an impossible task LOL…….and one for a day when I had more patience LOL.

The beautiful cream picot cotton lace, sparkly aqua glitter organza ribbon, sparkly button, button twine, and flower charm are all from The Ribbon Girl.

The flowers and gems are from The Hobby House. The pearl sprays are from my local craft shop.  The papers are by Melissa Francis.

I have coloured Tilda in with Prismacolor Pencils, blended with sansodor.

009

I have added a little bit of decoration to the inside.  The stamp inside is by Magnolia too.

Well I think that is all from me today…..

Just to let you all know that, I shall be listing a very special Crochet Cupcake later today in my Etsy Shop…….all of the proceeds from the Cupcake will be donated to the Fundraiser that Claudia is leading for Brandon……it is an excellent cause that is very close to dear Claudia’s heart…..and it has touched many of us in blog land, which was why I decided to make the Cupcake for such a fab cause :o)

Have a great day :o)

Hugs Tab xxx

Wow Tab she's gorgeous, I missed the club and boy am I more then ever annoyed about it, love your colours, flowers and all the gorgeous detail,

I got some of that film from the stamp man and it was the cheapest I've seen, I usually just take a little from the middle leaving the rest in the tin, means it folds back in easier too, if you get it back in it may help next time lol,
hugs Liz xx
