Good Morning!! I thought blogging was like riding a bike you never forget how to do it, but I have just found out thats not true. I thought I had scheduled the Peachy Keen Card below to post last evening but I obviously I did something wrong, so instead of 2 posts I have combined these two cards.
I know this is a Christmas Tilda but she is so pretty I just cannot consign her to the Christmas Box and have decided to use her all year through, especially as I am so disappointed with the Winter Tilda Club Kit, I don't know why but I just cannot get used to Tilda in HIGH HEELS!!!!!
This card has been made to thank my dear DIL for all the hard work and love she put into making Christmas so special for all the family this year.
Tilda has been coloured with Distress Inks, btw have you seen the new Distress Ink Colours Tim Holtzs is going to release at the CHA Wow I just cannot wait and am saving my pennys as I must have them all. The sentiment is from Whiff of Joy and has been cut out with one of the Nesties Fancy Tags, the edges have been distressed with DI (an idea I stole from dear Rach). Papers are Magnolia and flowers as usual are from Wild Orchid Craft.
Now for the card that should have been posted yesterday. This is my DT creation for this weeks Peachy Keen Challenge, which is a fabulous sketch for you to follow. Please pop over to the challenge site to see the gorgeous creations by my fellow DT members, Kathy is always so kind and generous and has lived up to that with this weeks prize so I do hope you can come and join us.
Don't you just love these cute froggies I love the faces on both of them, they have been coloured with Copics, the Papers are Bo Bunny and I have used another of my new Martha Stewart Border Punches gain and also lots of lovely flat back pearls, the Punch and Pearls are all available from The Hobby House.
Well thats it for today.
Thanks for looking
Hugs
Jacqui xx

PS - and you are so right about being glad to see the back of 2009! although in reflection the bad times have actually pushed us forward into new and exciting ventures! take care dear and do keep in touch from time to time. xx
Hi Jacqui,
I really love those cards.. the Tilda looks amazing with great colours and love how you have coloured her and the froggies look so sweet!! Love the punch you have used there.. Wishing you and your family all the best in 2010@! hugs Marley
Another beautiful cards!!!
So gorgeous details and stunning colouring as always.
I wish you a Happy New Year
Hugs Trudy
Both cards are very cute and I know how you feel about Tilda wearing HIGH HEELS! Oh, my! Whatever were they thinking? LOL! I think we want Tilda to stay a child forever. Try thinking of her as playing "dress up" in those High Heel images. Hehehe! That's the only thing that gets me through using those images without wincing and having that 'sinking" feeling, LOL!
Hi Jacqui,
It really is nice to see you feeling better and posting again. Both cards are terrific. You have such a knack for coloring/painting. You make it look so effortless. I only wish that it was.
Hugs, Janice
Hi Jacqui! I love both of your cards, dear! You are such a talent and we are so lucky to have you back and hopefully feeling better!! I love the thank you frog card, of course! Your coloring is amazing and your layout and embellishments divine! Thanks so much, Jacqui! Glad you are back.. in a BIG WAY! Love and Hugs, Kathy
I know what you mean, I want Tilda in her socks!
Both card are beautiful, and each so different, the Tilda is soft and sweet, while the frog adorable. Haven't water colored in ages either, might have to break out my inks as well...Thanks for the inspiration as always

Jacqui it is so good to see that you are feeling better to make your gorgeous cards again! This Christmas season wasn't the same without them!!!
I agree with you on two things ~ love this Tilda to use year round as well as a couple more of them since I didn't get to use them and I don't like Tilda in heels either!! I like that she is a cute little girl!!
Anyways both cards are so pretty and I love the colors that you have paired together!!
Take care and have a Happy New Year!!
:)Kathy
Such gorgeous cards Jacqui,your colouring and embellishments are perfect!!! I love this Tilda,and I agree I am not fond of Tilda in heels,I did not purchase any.

Jacqui they are just beautiful, love all the tips you give to us all and my distress ink colouring has improved a lot using your brilliant tutorials. So thanks so much for that. Glad you had a lovely christmas.

awww Tilda looks so adorable & those froggies are fabby!!
Hi Jacqui
I agree too, this image can't possibly be put away in the Xmas box - it is so versatile.
I also agree with the Tilda club set - I am disappointed with this lot of images. Not so cute at all although some of the accessory stamps are OK - we want cute Tilda back!!
Both cards are just absolutely gorgeous!
Wonderful, both cards! The green colours are super!
Hugs Jacqueline
Jacqui both cards are absolutely gorgeous!
Hope you have a very Happy,Healthy,and creative NewYears!
Hugs,Connie
Two gorgeous cards Jacqui! I especially love the Tilda card, she's so beautiful and I love the colours.
I hope you're feeling better now and have recovered. Apologies for the lack of blogging just recently, life just seems to take over at times!
Here's to a fantastic 2010!

Hugs Ali x
PS Have a wonderful New Year
Gorgeous cards as ever Jacqui. I love the green and cream colour theme, it's so pretty. Hope you had a lovely Christmas x
Jacqui these are both beautiful, I especially love the Tilda and you are so right about Tilda in high heels, it's so wrong!
I wanted to thank you again hun for your distressed inks tutorial, I had a play yesterday following it and I'm pleased with the results but would not have managed with out your guidance of which colours to use
hugs Mandy xx
Hi Jacqui,
Your card is too adorable. The little froggies are so cute!! The sheer ribbon and the flower are so pretty!! Happy New Year!
hugs,
Heidi
Jacqui, two gorgeous cards as always, does green happen to be your favourite colour? Hugs Jo x
These are just fabulous and i love the way you have distressed the first Tilda card can you give me a link, Pretty pleeese! i've checked out Rach's blog and cannot find it. I would love to be able to do this!
I also agree not sure about Tilda in High heels!!
Hugs Di xxxx
Your Tilda card is just gorgeous!! The other one is so nice too but that Tilda is just stunning!
What a great Tilda card! Love your coloring. I just made my first card with distress inks a couple days ago, it was lots of fun, but I definitely need to practice more! I used the winter kit for it. I was very disappointed in the Winter kit too; it was my first, and maybe last, kit.
Hello Jacqui,
I'm sorry that I have been MIA the past couple of weeks,our remodeling project took up 150% of my time.
Your card is totally beautiful and Tilda is gorgeous! your DIL is going to LOVE her card!
Take care and I'm wishing you and your family all the best in 2010!
hugs
Risa:)

Oh they're both fabulous but I do think the Tilda one is my fave.

Debby
Hi Jacqui, I so agree its difficult to image Tilda wearing high heels but she certainly does in two of the new stamps, and its hard to create around them. I love your image its stunning, the papers are beautiful. Well done my love with love and hugs Shirleyxxxx
I DO love those froggies, and you've showcased them beautifully! Your cards and blog are amazing, and it's always a treat to visit! I'm glad you are feeling better! Take care!
Hugs,
Lorie
Two totally adorable cards Jacqui!
I can understand why you want to use this Tilda all year. She's so sweet and VERY suitable for all year round work.
LOVE your PK froggie card. But then, I love ALL your cards.
Happy New Year Sweetie!
Hugs Viv xxx
