Pink Tilda

Oh yeah!! this is right up my alley, i just LURV PINK!!My shop that i had for almost five years was PINK!!
Found this picture of part of the shop just for good measure:

i was just asked if i miss the shop?  If you've ever had a shop that you built from nothing, you will understand my answer:  Yes i miss the shop, but being a shop owner i dont miss one bit.  People can take such advantage of you being creative and in a shop all day they think they can pick your brain anytime of day or night.  So miss the shop, but dont miss my customers, is that a horrid thing to say?
Now for my card i had to use this new little Tilda with her arms outstretched for a hug, had to do away with the holley in her hair so added ribbons.  I am using the sketch from Friday sketches, the dp is Marie Frances, i gave each of my layers a going over around the edges with some stardust, i used a Marrianne design die cut behind my image, one of my ticket stamps for the sentiment.  I am gonna enter this into the challenge on Just Magnolia since their challenge this week is for PINK, and then of course i checked my google reader and found the newest challenge on totally Tilda is for "pink and pearls", how lucky is that since i added these flourishes on my card.There's another great challenge on Mark's finest papers and they want die cuts or punches.

Since i am now decorating the insides of my cards, i thought it quite fitting to have a little Tilda blowing "stardust kisses" and carried through the flourishes to the inside and the sentiment is computer generated.

Hope you girls are all enjoying your crafting as much as me this weekend

  12. Oh my goodness that is the sweetest card ever! I absolutely LOVE the Tilda blowing kisses on the inside. Your insides are getting just as good as the outsides!

    Your shop was fabulous. I understand being glad it over though. When you have your own business it's true that you never seem to have any time for yourself. I am loving the package you sent me. Thank you so much!!!! You have no idea how much I appreciate it.

  13. Hello Love, am so excited by your card as usual.. love your pink and am so glad you used the stardust as I was going to get some.. love the pink pearls don't have any myself and was going to get a package of those and also the grey.. really could use bunch of colors.. really am loving using more colors... but your pink is so precious.. everything about the card from the inside to the outside is outstanding..
    Now for the store, your are right if I could have just had my store with out the customers, I would have been so happy, but they had to come in and ruin it all.. love your layout and bet you did have fun.. an know you miss it at times but bet you are having fun just making cards and creating for others and creating for us.... you are the best..

    Love and hugs, Jean

  15. Oh, wow girlfriend! This card is just spectacular! You've taken care of every single detail right down to the stickles on the edges to make the card the absolute best! I have to admit that I'm pretty jealous of all the pretty Marianne dies you have! Grrrrrr! This card is certainly worthy of being entered into a couple of challenges and I hope you win everything!

    Hugs from across the sea...

  23. Hello!

    I am so behind in visiting my friends! I love your card - the colors are perfection! I miss my shop also. To create one is such a personal journey that I don't think we will ever not miss them. I do understand the mixed feelings though of being so 'available' to everyone.

    Wishing you a good week!

    Hugs,
