Some brilliant news that I am now allowed to share with you all

I thought I had nothing to lose by applying and was amazed when Kitty got back to me on Monday to say that although they had chosen their new DT members that they would like to offer me a GDT position for the month of September

Its been very difficult to keep a secret as I am so excited to be able to design for and promote My Mums Craft Shop especially as they are also in Dorset 

My congratulations go to the 2 new permanent design team members and all the others lucky to get a  GDT position

To  see who was chosen please check out the post HERE

So please hop on over to Fashionista challenge blog to enter your Tilda creations and to see what the rest of the team have made to inspire you

The lovely sentiment "I am always here for you rain or shine" was stuck onto some silver mirri card and attached to the card,  I also added some colour co-ordinated Craftwork Cards card candi on both sides at the bottom of the card 

I attached a sweet little umbrella charm with some blue and white bakers twine and stuck a blue bow on top and added a butterly charm using yellow and white bakers twine and and a yellow flower with some card candi in the centre and some pearls down both sides of the acetate

I have shaped the two Tilda images before sticking to the centre step with Pinflair to keep the 3D shape and finished off the card with some white spotty ribbon and a big bow in the centre
