My little Tilda has arrived!!!!




Isn't she just gorgeous!?!?!


She arrived in the mail yesterday and I couldn't wait to stamp her and colour her in!! This is a very quick go because I just couldn't wait till I had a block of free time, so she was done in between getting lunch ready and vacuuming!!!


I promise my next effort will be coloured in better and I will do her justice!!


I got Tilda from a web shop called Scrappin' Kats. They are the cheapest I've found for Tilda and they even refunded my excess postage. You can't ask for better customer service than that!! Make sure you check them out here.


Have a wonderful day!!

Check out this gorgeous shoe!!!! My dear friend Alisa (AKA "The Enabler") made a file for the Gazelle to cut these babies out. Didn't she do a fantastic job?? I just had to share my creation.
Check out her blog to see what she's done with the file as well. You can now have as many pairs of shoes as you like in any style or design you like as well!! If you're interested in making your own shoes, and have a digital cutter as well, drop Alisa a line and she'll let you know how to purchase it. Of course, if you don't have a cutter you can cut these by hand, not sure if Alisa has a file with the dimensions for you to do this, but I'm sure she won't mind you asking!
Have a wonderful day!

Easter Bunny Basket






How cute is this little dude?? I found this gorgeous little fella on Yvonne's blog. I did make one using the punches she suggested from Stampin' Up!, but then I decided to test my design skills out and do all the pieces on my Gazelle using the Funtime Software.
I managed the body shape no probs, I even did the paws, no idea how so don't ask, but when it came to making the simple box design, well, let's just say it wasn't as simple as I thought it would be!! Once again my dear friend Alisa came to my aid and did it in about 2 seconds flat!!
I tried to track down some flocked paper for bunny's body today, but there's nothing within my budget. I absolutely refuse to buy 1 piece of paper for $5 no matter how much I want it!!

After some chalking of the edges and some gluing together, plus I replaced the black eyes in the pattern with googly eyes, here he is....way too cute!!

If you want the WPC file for cutting this out on your cutter, just drop me a line and I'll forward it on to you.
I also wanted to share a picture of my little man fast asleep in mummy's bed. I went to check on him (he has a cold so is sleeping with mum right now) and I found him like this, sound asleep with his leg just hanging in space. I couldn't have been comfortable but he didn't seem to mind!
Cheers for now,

Hi everyone,

Here's a page I was asked to do as a leaving gift for someone.
It took me forever to do and I learnt a very valuable lesson from it...do NOT try and cut intricate letters or designs with Bazzill cardstock or use transfer tape on it!!!!
It is the WORST paper I have ever cut!!! LOL But the results I think were well worth the effort.
The ship in the middle is paper tole and has a 3D effect to it. I think it looks great.
Have a great day!

My little man..


Sorry for the long delay in posting! I just wanted to share a scrap page I did of my little man. How cute is he?? His dad and he were playing on the Playstation and of course Cam had to have the steering wheel to help daddy drive properly!! It was so funny watching him steer!! I thought I was the only one who leaned into corners :)
I promise to do an update on Sunday...hopefully with one of the new stamp sets coming out on the 1st of April!!
Cheers,
Shell xoxo
