WOYWW 189


Happy WOYWW and I’ve made it again this week… just; I set my alarm early so I could do a quick post before work. Made what? You ask why you don’t hop over to the Stamping Ground to the wonderful host Julia to take a look and even maybe take part. The wonderful weekly get together, where we all get to share and look at work desks around the world…its fab and very addictive. I’m sorry nothing much to show again this week, I finished a card on Monday but I’ve had no time since then to start anything else .Covered is my daughters birthday card which I’m working on. I can’t show as she will see it; sorry…so I thought I’d tease her a little with leaving out a few clues of what I’ve used. I will post it after her birthday. Got to get ready for work but I will be back this evening to visit. Have a happy WOYWW and a great week. I hope the weather isn't causing you too many problems.
Lots of warm hugs Andrea x

Tilda and Teddy


This was initially started before Christmas and was going to be for my daughter’s birthday card until she announced whilst home at Christmas that she didn’t like people stamps or Tilda …shock how you can not like such an adorable girl, so it was back to the drawing board and I have a new plan . Which I wont be able to show until after the event as she will see it. I’ve not had much crafting timeof late so made the most of some tim ei had last night and as Tilda wa sitting there ready and waiting she just had to be used, needing inspiration I decided to follow a sketch this time.The Addicted to Stamps sketch fitted the bill perfectly as it has lots of layers which I like so I went for it. I’m overall happy although I had die cut a very pretty border then realised after I had glued the lace on I hadn’t used it!... ughh less haste more speed a they say. A quick post as have work soon, I had planned to do this earlier this morning but that didn’t work out! Hope everyone has a fab week and you haven’t been too disrupted by the snow, hugs Andrea x
