Warning ... this post may leave you feeling hungry !

Well its been a good day and a bad day today - Soph , and me and a friend  went shopping today to get some curtains for her new flat .. She was really excited ! The curtains were not in stock and so we had to ordered them ... as we were stood there at the counter calvin phoned , i had to quickly say " i phone you back " but then couldnt get a signal ... about 1 hr later i managed to get hold of him Poor love had been on a walk in the forest and twisted his ankle so bad that he phoned me to stop himself from passing out ... and i had quickly said  ( not realising )- hold on , il phone you back .... !!! when i did get hold of him he was on his  way  Accident and Emergancy . .. 

He is ok but its badly sprained .. poor love is at home resting up so we all need to send him healing vibes ... im trying not laugh ...sorry but my calvin is sooooo accident prone its untrue ... i call him the real life Frank Spencer heeeeheee... nothing surprises me with that fella !
anyway I think i had better get on with this weeks papertake Card!
The challenge this week is 
So anything that has a summery feel or reminds you of Summer ! 
and what reminds me of summer but strawberries and cream !! yummmmmmmy ! 

Lets have a look at dolly first shall we ?


She is sitting on a giant strawberry and is eating one of her strawberries from the basket at the side of her !
She really is strawberry mad and has tiny strawberries on her dress and one on her hat !
and now for the card ..
and ofcourse its strawberry Tilda ! 
I've made a tiny strawberry Fimo charm for the card.
The papers are from prima pad " madeleine " from charmed cards and the gingham ribbon 

I'd like to enter this into these challenges 
Tomic - Summer
Shabby tea room - photo inspiration and gingham / dots. classic patterns.

Poor Calvin...hope he heals up quickly and isn't in too much pain!
Love your pretty card! The little Tilda is so sweet in her off white and red trim. Perfect! That charm is awesome. I am so inspired how you have punched the leaves out of stripy paper. I will have to try something along that line.
The little Strawberry Maiden with her beautiful blossoms and gorgeous hat and curls is so precious! I love how you add so much texture to your creations and the little twisted rope around the base is such a nice accent.
Thank you for sharing! :)

Oh Maddy! I bet you felt awful when you discovered what had happened - shouldn't laugh, but this has made me giggle! But I sincerely hope Calvin's ankle heals very quickly!
I think this Tilda image is one of the loveliest I've seen. And your fimo dolly is absolutely fabulous - so much gorgeous detail!
Love, Andrea xx
