Happy Wednesday to ya all! Today I would like to show you a little recipe book I've made. From the first moment I saw this little Oops Tilda I loved that cute little image. And when I found that journal at Michaels weeks ago I knew it would make a perfect recipe book. I already colored Tilda over a week ago and had not the right idea for using her. And yesterday when I went through my stash of journals I've collected over time and saw this one I suddenly knew that she would be the perfect match. I colored her with my Copics and used P rima Flowers, half-pearls, Basic Grey Blingz , soeme ribbon and a charm for decoration. Some highlights were set using Stickles and the swirly dots is a stamp from Inque Boutique. Oh and speaking of recipes, starting with my post there today I am posting my recipes on my recipe blog also in English ;-) I got quite a few emails asking me if I could post in English as well. Unfortunately I don't have the time right now to translate already po

Was running unexpected errands and ended up cleaning the whole house...very relaxing *aaahhhhhh* It just didn't work out like planned (some how it never does :-) ) and so far I had no time yet to sit down and craft...well maybe later this afternoon...there is still some hope ;-) I got a few emails and was asked if I could do a tutorial on the shadow box card. I will do one soon and post it on the Belles 'n Whistles blog . I'll let you know here as well. I also plan on doing a tutorial for a shaker card!
