About Me

My photo
My name's Alison but for reasons too long to go into I'm known as Cockney Blonde or CB for short. I've been rubber stamping for several years but now spend most of my time either knitting or crocheting. However, with the advent of a New Year I have bitten the bullet and am tackling my usually hated pastime of sewing. I've even bought 'Sewing for Dummies' to guide me on my way. I've been with my hubby Dave for 24 years and between us we have 4 kids and 5 grandkids. We also have 2 cats and a dog, the latter features as my 'photo' image. I used to be able to blog daily but these days I struggle to blog weekly. Hopefully now we are settled into our new home in the country, I can get back to a daily (well almost) update from the room I now have to share with hubby. No more personal crafting space for me!!! Thanks to all the blogs and sites I follow for all your brilliant inspiration, and thank you to everyone who finds the time to comment on my blog.

With Love

Okay! So technically this should be a box for the current Allsorts challenge but I figured a drawer contained bits and bobs like a box could so, what the heck, lol. Anyhow, I started this a few weeks ago and then, you know how it is, stuff got in the way and it got buried under some stuff. Need I say more...

So, I used 4 crafting matchboxes for the base and then built my easel card on top of them. The drawer handles are from Art From The Heart.

Tilda is coloured with copics:-
skin - E21, 93, promarker satin
hair - E31, 33, 35
YG91, 95, B93, 95

The DP is Papermania 'rose garden' and the frame for the text is by Viva Decor.

I've created the easel shape using a die by Go Kreate.
The bench is actually a Magnolia Christmas image but I sat Tilda in front of the holly and put some bling to cover up the holly swirl.

I hope you like it and I'm entering it into the following challenges:-
