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.

Reach For The Stars

That's the challenge being set by the Winter Wonderland team this week. I've managed to incorporate stars in the image the DP, the brads and also one of the sentiments, phew!

I'm sorry but I can't remember where the yummy DP is from as I've had it in my stash for so long. The red curly gardenia flower is from Crafty Emma's Store (see my sidebar), and the sentiments are by Creative Expressions.
 I coloured Tilda with copics (no surprise there then) as follows :-
skin - E21, 93 and Promarker Satin
hair - E31, 33, 35
clothes - R22, 24, 27, 29
Its a while since I made an easel card and I don't know why I don't make them more often as they are so easy and look really effective.

I hope you like it and I'm entering it in the following challenges, x

    Love this Tilda. And well done for making a Christmas card in Feb. I promised myself I'd do one a month and so far I've not made any! xx
