Cozy Gilli has her Spring Snuggi on!

First let me apologize for my late post today. Things got crazy hectic all of a sudden at my house and taking a picture of my card and posting completely slipped my head. When it rains it pours...and in this case it was literally. Yep it started raining in my living room in my brand new home- the shower in my bedroom apparently leaked and it came through the ceiling. So I hope you can understand why pretty much everything else left my mind lol!!! Thankfully the builder has been called and she will get it fixed and the damage repaired. 

On to my card. My fave Gilli is Cozy Gilli due to my daughters love of their Snuggi's. Yep they both have one and they even bought each other theirs as their mom refused to buy it hee hee! I love seeing them all snuggled in with it watching tv late at night or early Saturday mornings. So in honour of our current colours of Spring challenge that I am hosting my Snuggi has been paper pieced in nice pastel Spring colours. 

Has this ever happened to you? When I was almost done my card and was cutting out my image with a nestability the unthinkable occurred. My sweet Gilli had a dent in the paper right by her face! Apparently a paper scrap was stuck to the plates of my die cutting machine and totally dented it. AAAaaaHHHHhhh!!! After I sat in my chair spinning around and sweating for a few minutes I cut out a sentiment from the MME paper I used on my creation and used it to cover up the dent. Phew!!! I would love to hear your fave way to cover up mistakes and unplanned 'surprises' on your crafty creations. Please leave me a comment below and don't forget to make a card with Spring colours to play along with House of Gilli. We would love to have you!

Cheers, Andi

Cozy Gilli is enjoying Winter

Andrea here with my Winter Challenge card. I inked up my fave Cozy Gilli and her snuggly for my inspiration as I just adore being wrapped up in something warm with a hot cuppa tea in one card. I coloured Gilli with my copies and I tried blonde hair for a change from my usual brown hair. I used Y23, YR21 and YR23. Not too bad! I will have to use this colour combo again. 

I hope this helps get your inspiration going for our current challenge. If you don't feel like making a card for that cold icy stuff that floats down from the sky think warm like I did! 

Don't forget to link up your challenge cards so that you can have a chance to win some yummy Gilli stamps of your own!

Cheers, Andi

Cozy Gilli in Red and Gold

Hi! Andi here today with your Red and Gold inspiration for our current challenge hosted by Ann. 

I used my fave Gilli- Cozy Gilli- for the current challenge as I was feeling a bit under the weather when I was crafting and seeing her with her Snuggi on and her warm cup of tea made me want to be her lol! So she was perfect to get me to forget about my own sicky ickies and colour happily away. 

I hope you get a chance to craft today as well and if you can play along with us- you don't have to use a Gilli stamp but you get extra points if you do! So dig out that Red and Gold and get crafty!!

Cheers, Andi

Gilli and snuggled up and embossed

We had such a party last night! That Gilli and Anary sure know how to keep things exciting! If you missed it don't worry- we still have lots of birthday fun going on this week. Don't forget to visit each of the DT member's blogs and leave a comment on their Gilli House post for your chance to win!

After the party I needed to get comfy and finish my card for today. Cozy Gilli was happy to join me as long as I let her sip on her tea while I crafted. Anary sent me a nice package of Authentique paper when I started and I am using some today. I paper pieced Gilli's snuggli and then ran it through my swiss dots embossing folder to give it a fun look. I coloured her up with my copics and added glaze to her ribbon, cup and her eyes. Doesn't she look so relaxed!

I hope you play along with us and our Embossing challenge. And if you haven't done the hop yet- grab a cup of tea and your snuggli and get started!

Cheers, Andi
