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)

Happy Tuesday!

Good morning, lovelies!  How are we all today…..did ya have a good weekend?!?  Mine was good, little bit of yarn shopping, lots of hooky and a little bit of relaxing…….all fitted in between the usual weekend chores of cleaning and food shopping…..so all in all, not a bad one :o)…..one thing I can be sure of it certainly went super duper fast!

I realised yesterday evening that it has been a whole week since I blogged last…….OMW, how bad of me….not sure why I have not been on to post really, cos I have tons of things to share…….actually that is a lie, I do know why I have not posted LOL……..I have developed a terrible addiction to Pinterest LOL……and my trouble is that I get so engrossed in it, that I just plain old forget about what is going on around me and before I now it there is no decent light to take any pics and the evening is upon us……..I must strive to work harder at getting my blog more organised and sort things out in advanced when there is good light :o)…….and leave the darn Pinterest alone LOL………I have had my account for absolutely ages and ages now, so its not a new thing to me….but each day I get more addicted to looking at all the wonderful things.  Plus I then find a new blog or pattern for something and off I go again on another trail LOL……no hope for me!! 

Here are a link to My Pinterest Boards, if anyone want so to follow me on there…….I will apologise now if you get addicted to it LOL.

Anyway, enough jabbering on…..as it will be bedtime before I get this post finished LOL

I have gone for a slightly different shape card…..I fancied a change from square LOL……this one is 13 x 15cm and I have to say I really like them this size.  The sweet image is by Magnolia and from the New Crazy Love Collection…..Pie Tilda, she looks deep in thoughts………

How gorgeous is that Blue Stripy Ribbon……utterly delish, me thinks and if you want some its from the Ribbon Girl……along with the Crown Pins, Rose Buds, Large Button {this was from one of the mixed bags}, Button Twin and not sure if you can see it but behind the flowers there is this totally fabulous White Mesh, just sprouting out {its hard to see it as its against a white background……but it is gorge stuff, deffo recommend you all getting some :o)

The papers are a mix of Craft Creations and I think the stars one is out of a multi-pack….perhaps Forever Friends of something like that….I got it from my local craft shop and they split the packs up and then forget who makes them LOL….

The Die Cut border is by Magnolia as is the Star Border Stamp.

Tilda has been coloured using Prismacolor Pencils, blended with Sansodor.

I have very lightly decorated the inside to compliment the front……I have using one of the Mini Magnolia stamps inside too….they are so perfect for decorating the inside of cards.

Have a great day and see you all soon!

Hugs Tab xxx
