Love comes in all shapes and sizes and so does choklit!

Good morning lovely friends...

Happy Monday whatever you are doing...

Today I am sharing my Design Collective make for lovely

Lili of the Valley

I have used a stamp from the gorgeous new trio set

Patchwork Trio

I have coloured one of the trios with Copics and made a little treat holder with card and LOTV papers Butterfly Kisses (retired).

Finally I added the all important treats - choklit (other treats are of course available)!

Now, I cut the shapes for this card with a Silhouette Portrait but you could absolutely do something similar with fishtails and a scalloped circle die.

and here we are...a valentine treat holder which is my gift for the 14th all sorted, especially as I will be sending it to myself!...

With Love

Good morning everyone...

We have a new challenge starting to day at

In The Pink

and it is

with love.

The prize for the lucky winner is a $6 voucher from

Little Miss Muffet Stamps

For today's card I used the beautiful Tiddly Inks digi

Wryn - Grow a Little Love.

I decided to challenge myself and colour her hair in pink, the biggest challenge was to my patience I think! It took me a few attempts to get a result I was happy with and then I got in bit of a grump with my doodling which I don't think looks right - but there you go, you live and learn!

I went for a simple layout using papers from Lily of the Valley's Romance and Roses (retired) collection and finally added a few sequins.

...and here we are...pink Wryn!...

Adventures in Blogland...

Good morning lovely friends...

Today is a rather special!

Exactly one year ago today I started my adventure in blogland' here at tanglemouse cards.

Happy Bloggyversary to me then!

I can not quite believe what a brilliant time I have had, and am still having!

I have met some lovely people both 'virtually' and in real life as a consequence of this wonderful adventure and made some firm friendships so I hope you are all having as much fun as I am!

I will have some candy up for grabs later today so please call back (I just need to figure out how to work the linky thing and how to make the candy post stay at the top, I think the term is 'sticky'...see...totally hopeless with anything technical)!

Anyway, on to today's card which is my Design Collective Inspiration for lovely

Lili of the Valley

I have used the beautiful LOTV stamp

Midsummer's Night

I have coloured this sweetie with Copics and tried something a little different with the background - I followed a tutorial on Copic UK by lovely Faye Wynn-Jones, I love the effect and will definitely be practicing it again.

I added some twine, a star charm and some cheesecloth from The Ribbon Girl and mounted the little image on a piece of card printed with a lovely digi background by Pink Petticoat.

...and here we are, a little girl dreaming big!...we've all been there, right?...

I would like to enter this card for the following challenges -
As You Like It - Favourite One Or Multi Layer
(I am very admiring of all the striking and stylish Cas creations I see, however, I just love 'using' another layer to complement the image either in it's colour or it's theme).
