Good morning everyone, well I'm not here but off on my travels again, omg how packed was the car when we were packing it yesterday, I thought the back tyres would explode and I could see steam coming out of Phil's ears when I kept appearing with more and more bags...oops...well he wants it nice doesn't he and that takes a little bit of effort....oooohhhhhh I was walking through the town the other and just had to go past Laura Ashley's didn't I, they have a 50% sale on...oooohhhhhhhh nnnnooooooo I thought now its against the shoppers law to pass a sale isn't it....their wallpaper is just drooly and they have fantastic contrasting fabric for blinds etc...I could have spent a fortune but I managed to rein myself in and walk out with just a bargain lamp, are you proud of me?...must admit I wish I had gone with the fantastic deep pink blossom wallpaper and striped fabric though...might have to go back for it what do you think....right now onto my card for today, its for the Just Magnolia & hAnglar & sTanglar shabby chic challenge and yes I know it was meant to be here Friday but I had to put it back because of the Sugar Nellie blog hops...so I'm showing it today, I have no idea what this sweetie Tilda is called but isn't she gorgeous, I coloured her with distress inks and used these amazing papers from Prima for her its from the Madeline collection and called Skyward, I'm not sure this fits the theme as I always struggle with shabby chic but loved the paper and Tilda together...I added some grey ribbon and bow and key and lock charms to finish...the lush sketch is from City Crafter challenge...ooohhhh I have candy for you tomorrow from Bunny Zoe's Crafts so don't forget to pop back then...have a brilliant Sunday everyoneMina xxx

Fabulous card, lovely image, she's a real doll.Love the wee lock and key, how gorgeous, and beautiful papers....speaking of papers, go for it, go back to the sale, you cant just get a lamp, go back, spend more money.Get the wall paper you want...go on..I'll take the blame.

Люблю Тильдочек. Нежно так, но больше похоже на "винтаж".
Felt I had time to make at least one more comment before I go back to the blog hop and try to catch up with my other comments. I, too, struggle with Shabby Chic. What does it mean? But I, too, used cottagey papers and slightly distressed edges so hopefully we've both got it right! Love your soft colouring, pretty bow and lovely charms! And thank's for the headsup on the Laura Ashley sale. I shall check it out. Good luck with setting up your new home, Mina! It sounds like a fantastic opportunity to use your artistic talents and play in spite of all the obvious hard work. Hugs, Lesley
Hi Mina,
Beautiful card in gorgeous colours with a sweet image.
Men just don't understand that there is no point in going away in a car that's not crammed full. Have a great weekend.
Hugs,

Your Tilda is fabulous as always & the paper is gorgeous. I know what you mean about struggling with "shabby chic"....and my house is actually decorated toward that theme! And if you passed up Laura Ashley, I am amazed at your willpower!
