Kick up Your Heels

Happy Weekend to my Crafting Friends,

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, today is a very short post as I am running a little behind with some DT work, I have spent yesterday in bed with a very bad headache. Never mind I am up & about today. I made this a week or so back and forgot about it.

This image is from Magnolia's Winter Kit 2009 and can now be purchsed individually from the latest  colletion - Raising the Ceiling - this sweet Tilda's name is Charleston Tilda, I think she is perfect for so many occasions all dressed up in heels. I had intended to use her for my New Year's cards, but I was away over the holidays. Coloured with Copics and doused her shoes & frill on her party dress with some glittery goodness. The gorgeous papers are Basic Grey's Sugar Rush, I was so tempted to buy a full book of these beautiful papers but I find I only use a couple of sheets of my favourites and then I am left with drawers full of unused papers, so I just bought a few sheets, how good am I hehehe. Sentiment is computer generated and Hero Arts and flowers & ribbon from stash.

Have a wonderful weekend, I will be back tomorrow with my Magnolia Down Under Challenge DT project.

Thinking of You - Heartbreaker Edwin

Hello Everyone,

I hope you have had a wonderful start to the week, yesterday was Australia Day, we had friends over to help celebrate with a BBQ and a swim. The weather has been so strange this week, storms, heat wave conditions and then the next day it is cool. Anyways, enough of my waffle.

This stamp is from the new Magnolia Raising the Ceiling Collection, Heartbreaker Edwin, such a perfect name for this adorable stamp and a new favourite for me, so many favourites.

This was made for the Just Magnolia Challenge - Jay Jay's Sketch.

I really enjoyed following this sketch, thanks Jay Jay. If you are looking for inspiration, visit Just Magnolia's talented DT's, their creations are amazing.


I have also entered this in the following challenges:
A Spoon Full of Sugar - Challenge 88 Freestyle
Everybody Art Challenge - Challenge 75 - Brown Blue & White

I stamped Heartbreaker Edwin twice for dimension. Coloured with Copic markers, the gorgeous papers are from my Christmas stash, MME The Merry Days of Christmas and the MS border is my new favourite, not new to MS collectors, but new to me. I distressed the edges, then a little sewing to give it that handmade with love look and inked the oval with Tea Dye Distress ink, the sentiment is from Hero Arts, I added some tiny heart punches and half pearls by Kaisercraft , added  the beautiful flowers and silk ribbon. (The colour of the ribbon did not photograph the true colour it is a better match in real life, oh well)

Thank you for your comments they brighten my day. Thank you to each & everyone of you. Have a wonderful week.

Valentine's Day - Loving Wishes

Hello Lovlies,

I'mmmmmmmm back, we came home early, I was a little home sick. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas.

Happy New Year to you all.

I am hoping to get around to visit all your wonderful creations soon & catch up on all the goss as I had limited access over the Christmas/New Year period via my iPhone, great for email but a little slow for blog hopping.

One of my New Year's Resolutions is to  stop buying DP, I bought 6 books of Christmas DP plus lots of loose sheets and I used a couple of sheets from one or two, but mostly they were untouched.
