Sweet Pea Tilda - Totally Tilda DT

Good morning lovely peeps,
I survived my first week back at work :) It was harder than even I expected as I didn't think about not being able to take my strong painkillers to help ease the pain and pins & needles while I'm doing anything I need an active brain for lol, but I got through it, and was sooooo grateful for having the weekend off especially as it's been a beautiful warm and sunny one. I've been working every other day which I've never liked doing I'd much rather work a block of days and then have a few off together but for the first couple of weeks that will be my shift pattern so I get to rest my shoulder every other day & see how it goes.
Jodie came home one night and apparently had to uncurl my fingers from around a copic, pack my copics  etc away and throw a blanket over me as I nodded off while sat on the sofa colouring lol. I woke up the next morning wondering what on earth I was doing sitting up and just had this vague recollection of colouring the night before, so being back at work is definitely helping with my insomnia lol.

Today is new challenge day at 

TOTALLY TILDA

& this fortnight our challenge is

MORE THAN ONE FOLD

Please don't forget you need to pop a Tilda on your card / creation, I know I say it every challenge but some do forget to use a Tilda :)

As always my fabulous teamies have lots of gorgeous inspiration for you hope over & take a peek at the girls gorgeous creations.

I decided instead of making a card I would try & make something useful & wanted to make a box to store my standard size embossing folders in. I didn't have a clue where to start so I measured an embossing folder, grabbed an A3 sheet of card stock, started having a play & voila!

The copic colours I've used are -

skin - E11, E00, E000, R12, hair - E25, E31, E50, dress & hat - BV04, BV02, BV000 / G28, G24, G21 / YG67, YG63, YG61 grass - YG97, YG95, YG93, YG91

I added three Papermania magnets on the front of the box & underneath the flap so the lid would stay closed nice and flat, although to be honest they are rubbish magnets and I just as well not have bothered lol.

The lovely flower on the lid is made of a small & medium die from Simon Says Stamps Bella Bloom flower dies, the paper is Melissa Frances and the lovely lace & organza ribbon is from The Ribbon Girl.

I'm entering my embossing folder box in the following challenges -

Make It Monday - anything goes

That's me finished for now peeps, enjoy the sunshine if you are as lucky as me and have it, & thanks for stopping by

Apron Full Of Flowers - Simon Says Stamp DT Card

Good afternoon lovely peeps,

I battled the horrid weather yesterday & went into town with hubby to keep my shopaholic happy lol. We popped in to KFC for some lunch & I always take chicken home to share with the cats so I put 3 pieces in a box ready for them and ate the rest of my meal. Piglet here had to have a caramel fudge ice cream and while I was finishing it off hubby had started clearing the table ready to leave and I realized the chicken had vanished! I think the high pitched "where's the cats chicken" & the look of horror on my face to go with it must have scared hubs as he shot back over to the bin rummaging in it trying to find the box of chicken knowing he'd either never hear the end of it or I'd make him buy more chicken for my babies lol. Personally I would have much preferred him to buy more chicken as it was soooo embarrassing when he opened the bin cupboard & pulled the bin right out trying to find it. He looked so pleased with himself when he found it while I was mortified and left KFC very quickly hoping there wasn't anyone in there who knows us lol.
