Tilda

2011-06-08T13:45:00.000-07:00

Ok so i never returned with the pure innocence card, i still have that card to post!
I've finally decided i have to stop colouring in all these images and start making them into cards so for todays card i've used a very pretty tilda to make a birthday card( shocking i don't know what this tilda is called!!)Any ideas let me know.

And the inside.

Just loving Kraft cardstock at the moment, which is my base card then i used Some yummy Raspberry Rd digi papers they are so gorgeous.The image was mostly coloured with prisma pencils and promarkers to do the hair,loving the effect of the pencils and the depth of the shading you achieve. I need more colours, i feel a spend coming on...

The challenges i'm going to enter this card into are:
sketch saturday
just magnolia lace
Tomic challenge blog birthday
papertake weekly
cutecard thursday embellish it.

Thanks for looking x

New baby card.

2011-05-20T13:27:00.000-07:00

Finally all assignments completed and submitted. YIPEE!!!

My first card is one i made for some proud grandparents on the birth of there first grandchild. I've used a popcorn the bear stamp, coloured with promarkers and prisma pencils to shade. Must admit i'm loving colouring in loads of gorgeous stamped images but not much card making going on!! Papers used are Crate paper cowboy and they've got to be 3 years old at least!! Scary but i still love them. Must admit card making is a good way to use up my PP scraps.

I've used the sketch from Sketchy colours so am going to enter this into there challenge this week it can be found here.

Tc and b back soon with a pure innocence nurse card, i made for a colleague.

Hi all,
another busy week in the Hylton household. Not managed much crafting this week or my next assignment for that matter Two weeks to go till submission date and still not even started it!! Talk about procrastinating. On that note made this card last week but couldn't upload it having real computer problems at the moment. So another challenge at teddy bo challenge blogand the challenge this week was to use punches on your card. Heres mine not a very good photo but you get the idea! Thanks for looking.

The digi stamp used comes as three individual tags as one stamp and can be found here.
The papers are an old do crafts collection called Hampstead and it's one of my favourites just love those earth tones.

Fun was had by all at the moxley massive birthday crop on April 19th, with the very talented Tracie Hudson, She taught four fab classes but also made another two bonus layouts and the kits were brimming with stash galore. Enough here are two layouts that we did.
The first was taken of my little man last October at his Nan's 70TH birthday party doesn't he look smart.

The second of Ella-mae on her nursery picture last November, i am so lucky to be a mum to these beautiful children.

Really loving colouring these pure innocence digi stamps by Heather Ellis a very talented illustrator, these girls are a dream to colour, i love nothing more than relaxing after the children have gone to bed with some images to colour and my promarkers! (I'm so addicted to these).

Yes It's me!!!!!! I look like a boy, yes i know!!! Lol.

A school picture taken 1n 1981, In my much younger days, when every one aspired to have an Afro bigger than the late Michael Jackson!! I never quite managed that no matter how much i grew my hair!!

This layout came about as a result of a challenge i was set by Marie who was with her daughter Steph who runs Indigo Mill on line shop.Basically i was given this sheet of paper from the new 7Gypsies Victoria range, which you can find here : http://www.indigomill.co.uk/shop/-new-in-/new-7-gypsies-victoria/7g-victoria-walker/ and asked how i would scrap it. So this is what i did! I was actually in no rush to scrap this photo of me, ( surprise surprise) however this paper was ideal. I managed to use most of the sheet by reversing it and taking elements such as the large rectangles with the picture and journalling block, the scalloped border the scalloped circles from the reverse, the butterflies and lastly the words days which forms part of my title.

Had these prima paintables a while, bought from Crafty stash at the Exhall crop, and Was inspired by Tracey Hudson's paintables to finally get mine done.

A picture of me on my wedding day with my brides maids taken at Cannon Hill park, gosh i can't believe itwill be 6 years the end of this month, time really does fly, painted using a combination of Derwent Inktense watercolour pencils and Twinkling H20's.

Last week saw me finally getting to go to moxley for there monthly crop, had a fab day of me time. Here's my layout i managed to complete of lewis and his best mate Myaa. Using Sassafrass lass papers.

2009-07-20T13:12:00.000-07:00

Lewis's nursery photo taken last year i can't believe how grown up he looks and Handsome of course.

2009-07-20T13:07:00.000-07:00

Photo taken on our holiday in jamaica, it still makes me smile when i remember lewis's pure delight of being able to run and play in the sea.

2009-07-20T13:01:00.000-07:00

Here are my three most recent layouts, as you can see i love to stitch on my layouts, I started off as a cross stitcher, then a card maker (which i still do) and now a scrapper.

2009-07-20T12:33:00.000-07:00

To blog or not to blog?
I spend that much time surfing everybody else's blog i thought it was about time i started my own blog and scrapping more. I hope to share my creations with you, just be warned i'm a very slow scrapper. The main subjects for my layouts are my two little darlings Lewis and Ella-mae, i don't have any baby pictures of myself, i'm the youngest of six children and i just don't think it was a priority for my parents struggling to make ends meet, so i'm determined that my children will have lots of memories. Ok i've gone off on one!!! Sorry.
