Happy Halloween Friends,

Not many Aussie's celebrate Halloween, but I admit I do have a little bit of a devil in me and love to colour these adorable images.

Even though this adorable Magnolia image, Brother & Sister is not a Halloween stamp, I thought they were the perfect choice, Tilda looks a little afraid of the big scary haunted house and brother Edwin is giving her a supporting little hug, so sweet.

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween Friends,

Halloween has not been a holiday celebrated that much in Australia over the years, but it is now becoming more popular. Aussie's are party animals, we love to dress up, have fun and party, so any excuse will do.

Here is a couple of my cards from the Magnolia's Ink Magazine, Autumn edition. I was hoping to make something new, but anyways hope you have a fabulous weekend regardless if you celebrate Halloween or not.

Stamps are from Magnolia's So Spooky Collection 2009 & the Bat is from Magnolia Fall Stamps 2007.

Stop by Magnolia's Inspiration Blog to find out all the latest news and there you will also find a listing of the amazingly talented Design Teams Blogs.

Halloween Coffin Treat Box

Happy Thursday Everyone,

With Halloween fast approaching I thought I would take this opportunity to wish you all a

Happy Halloween

and to share with you the template and instructions on how to make these fabulous Treat Boxes, I'm sure they will be a big hit with the little one's in your lives.

I know it's still a few weeks away, but you may remember seeing my Coffin Treat Box in the last Magnolia Ink Magazine, Cozy Autumn Edition. I thought you might like to make some of your own for some trick or treating gifts, here is the link with the template, instructions and video from the Martha Stewart website and is very easy to make.

Halloween is not a holiday many Australians celebrate, but I must admit I do have a little bit of a devil in me at times and love to colour these adorable images.

How adorable is Edwin, TOO CUTE TO SPOOK, he is obviously playing dress up, and even the Bat is adorable. Hope you have fun colouring up your Magnolia Images this Halloween.

Congratulations Magnolia,
You may have read on the Magnolia Inspiration Blog, last weekend was the Grand Opening of the new bigger warehouse at Boras Sweden and the introduction of the new Merry Little Christmas Collection 2010 and the Magnolia INK Magazine Christmas Edition. The peek I have had of some of the new images are adorable and they will sell very quickly, so keep on eye out for pre-orders coming your way very soon.

Happy Sunday Friends,

5 more sleeps until Santa comes - I hope Santa brings me my much needed Laptop, this one is so slow and is getting worse by the day.

A break from Christmas Cards, my mojo did not want to work today, it was so difficult switching from Christmas card mode to something else.

I bought this cute little Devil Tilda from Magnolia's So Spooky Collection - when ordering this stamp I could see the potential for other uses, not just Halloween. This is the first chance I have had to ink it up. Heart with wings stamp is also a Magnolia stamp - I added the cutout heart over the stamped heart, to fit the sentiment.
