Hi Everyone
Happy Tuesday .. .. I hope your day has been a good one and the snow isn't causing you too many problems.
We haven't had any fresh snow today which is something. I did need to walk round to the post box today though and that was a "hairy scary process". Because we are on a school route the kids slide along the pavement and make them a bit treacherous .. .. but kids will be kids I suppose and we all did it!!
So I gingerly walked round to the post box and I could hear my Mum shouting in my ear as she would have done a few lifetimes ago saying "Take your hands out of your pockets .. .. how will you save yourself if you fall" .. .. so I was a good girl and took my hands out of my pockets LOL!!!
Anyway, today's share uses a super cute image I won from Sketch Saturday/The Stamp Fairy just before Christmas.
Image: The Stamp Fairy "Mimi Love"
Sentiment: Computer Generated using font "2 Peas Barefoot Professor"
Backing Papers: Pink Petticoat "Little Polka Dots" and "Chevrons" both still £1 a download!!!
Nestabilities: Classic Circle and Scalloped Circle
Josy Rose: Nail Heads
Ribbon
ProMarkers and Chalk
Glossy Accents
My Trust Sewing Machine
Now I have had this card made for a while today standing up looking at me .. .. and have to admit I struggled with the fact that my little girl didn't have a smile. I don't know why but I just can't feel comfortable when my images are mouthless .. .. so I had to add one along with some rosy cheeks.
That's better!!! Sorry Gerda :-( I hope you don't mind xx
You wouldn't believe how many pencil mouths she has had rubbed off her face before I was happy .. .. then I had to hold my breath and go over this one with a pen. I fully expected to ruin my card .. .. and some might say I have!!
Enjoy what is left of Tuesday everyone.
Love

Jules, I think she looks so much better with a smile and the rosy cheeks ~ I too have a problem with mouthless images. Gorgeous card as always ~ keep smiling! Love Bev xxx
Not me, Jules! I'm with you - I much prefer the mouth, especially a smiley one :) Your finished card is lovely and there's a little girl who is going to feel very special when she received it. Hugs, Elizabeth xx
What a sweet card. Having escaped the snow last week it hasn't stopped snowing today.
This is such a gorgeous fresh looking card. Love the sweet image. Rasp Rd papers always look so scrummy.
Hugs Sharon. x
This is really lovely and I am so glad that you let her have a mouth. I cannot stand the images where there is no mouth. The papers are gorgeous and after your card yesterday I bought some of these beautiful papers.
awwww, it's everything BUT ruined Jules! What a sweet card and there's something about it that's light and happy!

Such a cute card! I love the papers you've used and that image is adorable!
And I know what you mean about mouthless images, they always seem a bit wrong to me too!

This is so sweet Jules....and I like mouths too! Carol x
Great card and love the blue and pink, beautifully coloured image and I am 100% with you on the face issue, looks far better on the second image.
I don't own one Tilda, sorry to all Tilda fans.

I have a soft spot for Mimi. She looks super pretty with these soft Patel colours. X
Jules, your card is so very sweet. The graphic is darling and your coloring...wow.....There is so much to look at, I love the sewn layers. Oh how I envy your talent! The colors you chose are so eye calming (is that an artistic phrase...it is now) Lovely, very, very lovely!
So gorgeous Jules and I am totally with you there she looks so much better with a mouth. That's probably why I don't own any Tildas!!
I love the pretty colour scheme and beautiful ribbon too.
Hugs tu
This is such a sweet card Jules :) Love the blue ribbon n how you have brought that colour out in the gems too.

I was just thinking how brave you were! I would have ruined her for sure. Note to self...draw the mouth before coloring. LOL. And she turned out perfectly and looks much better with a smile. Don't we all!
Don't tell anyone....but I like your little pig-tailed girl better with a mouth on. ;-) Cute, sweet, adorable card!
I'm with you on the 'mouth' thing - Tilda & Co scare me to death!Great card for a little girl - your Mum would have sent you this when you were younger I think - cos you've been a good girl! LOL
Oh so pretty! Gorgeous papers and colours, and wow the ribbon is fab-u-lous!
I hope all is going well with the Wedding Fayre preparations!
love Mags B x
This is such a sweet card and image. I haven't made any for a while but I always have put a mouth on the Tilda stamps - just doesn't seem right without to me either.
Well I finally got out today. Took me ages to de-snow the car. It's still 6 inches deep on the pavement and packed snow on the road but once I made it up to the main roads they were clear. At least the parrots won't go without now - it was getting a bit desperate.

A really cute card I love the image, Mary x
A cute little card Jules & I agree with you, she looks a lot better with rosy cheeks & a smile,

Morning Jules, what a cute image and her face turned out superbly, love the colours and layout too. I walk to work and like you along a school route, I made sure I left before the kids got to the pavements yesterday, lol..also with hands free of pockets! Carole Z X
Lovely card Jules, I have to admit I avoid images without mouths they seem to spook me a little but this little girl is perfect and I love the papers you've used
jacqui x

Good Morning sweetie this is fabulous loving the details hugs Pops x x x
No! I think the completed face is an improvement. I prefer whole faces!

She looks so much better with a smile! Love the papers and pretty colours too, and your stitching looks fab.

Gorgeous card Jules - so fresh looking. The addition of little mouth (and nostrils) are perfect.
Laughed aloud at the thought of you out in the snow waving a fish slice - it takes a woman to think outside the box!!
Hugs, Di xx
What a lovely card for a little girl Jules (mind you big girls would love it too ;)) I think she looks great with a smile. I have been practising my colouring on some stamped Tilda images but I have never been brave enough to add a smile, i just know I would definitely ruin it lol.
Have a great day,
Kaz x
so gorgeous jules.i love your pretty colour combo and the image is really sweet :D
xx coops xx
Hi Jules, A lovely card - love the colour of the ribbon. I know what you mean about the mouths and I agree she looks much better with mouth and nose in the finished card. Pauline xx
I'm with you Jules, much prefer your little girl with a mouth, especially a smiley one! Hugs x
Awww! So pretty Jules. I know what you mean about no mouths. I am the same with Amish dolls.

I think Mimi was meant to have rosy cheeks and a smile Jules. Pastel colours are great. Lynn x
Gorgeous card Jules it is full of sweetness and delight it looks so fresh and Springlike, super card.
hugs
lorraine x
Oh I'm the same hun, don't like things without a proper face lol!
She is gorgeous with her smile & rosy cheeks!
Hugs Shell xx
Beautiful colours Jules, so fresh and bright. She definitely needs a mouth, don't like the ones without. Those well know ones without mouths look like baby hippos to me!!!
Hugs
Brenda
She looks adorable with her new little smile!
What a great image...I need to learn from you...that splash of colour from the ribbon looks so great. I would never have thought of that...I would have picked something blending in and it would have blended into the woodwork.
Must remember...use a splash of colour...as this is very effective!
A gorgeous, girly card Jules and a lovely smile, lol!
Helen x
cute!! Love the polka dots! Hugs Juls
