Tiddly Inks Blog Hop

Welcome to the Tiddly Inks Treasure Hunt bloghop. We are kicking off Tiddly Ink’s first birthday celebration and I am so glad you joined us to hunt for inspiration and goodies.

If you came from Hazel's blog then you are at the correct spot. If not, you might want to go back to the Challenge Blog and start hopping THERE. You might miss some of the prizes that are hidden around the hop if you don’t start at the beginning. :)

My creations today feature Tiddly Inks’s new images Cheerleader, You are always on my Mind and Geekatude. Christy created about 20 new images for her birthday celebration and you can find the rest of the images HERE.

This first card uses Christy's new image Cheerleader - she is soooooo much fun!

This second card was inspired by a copic class I took recently where we coloured using greyscale with the W copics - love this warm greyscale effect. I've used Christy's new image "You are always on my mind" - could be a cute valentine but I think she is sending birthday love somewhere!

A wedding card for my dear friends Mark and Peta....

Well, Friday might be the big day for the royals but for my very good friends Mark and Peta, Saturday is the day they are tying the knot and I am sooooo excited for them. I think I have made about 7 different wedding cards with them in my mind but have been unhappy with them all...so today with my new MFT doillie die in my hot little hands I thought I would have another crack at it and here is the result.....have to say I LOVE IT!!!!.....Love the yellow gingham PP and I think the doillie makes it a little bit special!

Spring Stitching over at Tiddly Inks this week...

This challenge fell right into one of my passions...stitching on cards. I actually find it hard to create a card and not stitch and started by using my machine. however after seeing some of the amazing work by Kinsey Wilson I have played a little recently with hand stitching - Check out her stitching on her hand stitching blog - she is truly awesome!

Anyways join in the fun over at the Tiddly Ink Challenge blog by creating a spring project using stitching! It doesnt have to be hand stitched or even machine stitched....you can use faux stitching instead! Link you card and you could win one of Christy super cute images!

Sweet Stop Sketch #102

I have had to start making cards in pairs now as I have been approached by another gift shop owner to supply them with cards to sell in their shop and I said yes before thinking about the implications - It really is just a hobby for me as my full time job takes a lot of time and committment and craft is a wind down for me in the evenings. Anyways I decided that I would be able to cope if I stuck to making 2 of each card and special orders, so I have to get 25 cards done by next weekend for the new shop as well as restock the 15 or so sold last week from my local shop... YAY....lol....so I am going to be busy this week....however, school camp is over and I feel like I might manage it....lol
