TOMIC Challenge 15 - Chocolate & Cream

It's time for another challenge on over at TOMIC

(The Official Magnolia Inspiration Challenge Blog)

Welcome to TOMIC Challenge # 15

Chocolate (brown & cream)

Now who doesn't like chocolate, I just wish I didn't like it sooooooooooo much. I hope you will join us this week, you could be the winner of the surprise package of Magnolia goodies

Magnolia Stamps

Tilda with Cowberry Muffin - So Heavenly Travel & School Collection 2008

Chocolate Box - Tin Boxes - A little Yummy for your Tummy Collection 2009

Magnolia Doo Hickey Dies - Rose Leaf

I used my Cricut Die Cutting Machine and the new Sweet Tooth Boxes cartridge. You can fill it with cakes or leave it out insert and fill it with chocolates or some other delicious goodies.

The double choc chip muffins tasted better than they look.

I added the recipe inside the lid.

I have coloured it with Copics, airbrushed the background, hoping to give it an aged/much loved look about it. I added some lace, beautiful flowers & bows, added the adorable Tilda panel, making a wonderful gift box to fill with delish goodies for someone special. I have not been a big lover of brown before, I don't know why because now I love it and you should be seeing a lot more of it in the future.

I hope you will stop by to visit the other Magnolia Design Team, they have made some amazing creations with lots of inspiration and it gives you a chance to play with your adorable Maggies.

A Little Yummy for your Tummy

Hello Lovelies, a happy Sunday to you all,

Magnolia Down Under Challenge #31 

Sketch Challange with a twist - A girly card with something orange.

We have a new Sponsor this week - "The Cutting Cafe"
They offer a huge range of affordable printable stamps and cutting templates - stop by & check them out.

As you can see I probably broke the rules a few times. I mirror reversed the sketch and my card could have been a lot more girly, but I have spent the last few days in bed suffering from bad headaches, something I don't normally suffer from, I crawled out of bed to make this card, totally not happy with it, I should not have left my DT card so late, but sometimes the mojo just isn't flowing when it should. I will probably re-do this card when I am feeling better. Anyways enough about me.

My stamps & delicious papers are all from Magnolia's Yummy for your Tummy Collection, "Peachy Tilda", sentiment stamp of the same name and the gorgeous peach & spot papers. Coloured with Copics, my favourite MS border punch and silk ribbon, flowers & half pearls.

By now I am sure you would have read our exciting news, Magnolia Down Under Challenges are changing to WEEKLY CHALLENGES, woo hoo, starting next week. You now get to play more often and win more often. I hope you will join us.

Pretty in Pink - Oops I forgot

Happy Thursday Everyone,

Magnolia-licious Pretty in Pink Blog Hop

Magnolia-licious Highlites Design Team have inspired me once again. They have put on a wonderful Pretty in Pink display of amazing creations. Thanks Ladies, you are all so talented and it was so wonderful to see Lady Diana join in and see her amazing creation. I had so much fun and thanks for the inspiration.

I decided to join in and this is my entry Magnolia-licious Highlites Pretty in Pink Blog hop challenge.

Another Easel card you say, I know you are probably sick of seeing them, I started to think maybe I should stop making so many, but than I thought it is no different to making regualar square cards, I always decorate the inside of my card, but not always straight away and when I need to send it, I can't find the same dp I used, with Easel cards they are finished at the same time as the front and with only one surface to cover.

I made this card for someone special, hope she likes it. I have used one of my very favourite Tilda's, Oops from Magnolia's Yummy for your Tummy Collection and the bow with hearts from the new Winter Stamp kit, I know I will use this one a lot. I've used copics, cut the word Oops using my Cricut, smothered  in glittery goodness. Sentiment is from Inkadinkadoo. EK success punch for the border (one of my faves),  ribbon & flowers from stash. DP Anna Griffin. Spellbinders Tag. I made the matching gift bag with my much loved & used Spellbinders label and again EK punch, filled it was some gorgeous flowers.

Oops - I forgot your Birthday

Happy Weekend to all my Crafting Friends,

Magnolia Down Under Challenge  #26 - SKETCH

I have also incorporated this into the Monthly Challenge at  
Just Magnolia  - Distresssing

I am sorry I haven't made anything to share with you this week or stopped by your blogs, I haven't been well and hope to catch up on all your wonderful creations over the next week or so.

I do have some wonderful news, Kellie from Magnolia Down Under has asked me to become a fulltime member of both of her DT's for the Challenge and Store blogs. Woohoo, thanks Kellie for giving me this wonderful opportunity. Kellie's DT girls have so much talent and are just beautiful amazing people   I 'm  feel very honoured to be part of these teams.

This Sketch is by the amazing Shell Barnard and is sponsored by the one & only Kellie of Magnolia Down Under for a $10.00 gift voucher in her wonderful new store.

This Magnolia stamp is Oops Tilda from my favourite Yummy for your Tummy Collection coloured with Copic markers. I stamped her a few times to give her some dimension with foam tape & silicone, a little hard to see in the photo. Cherry paper is by Doodlebugs, border & flower punches by Martha Stewart and Oops and cherry cut with Cricut and finished with some machine stitching & distressing.

Hope you will stop by & see what the other Design Team Members have created for you! Thanks for joining this wonderful challenge, I can't wait to see what you come up with & hope to see you join us again next challenge.

60's Tilda

Happy Wednesday Everyone,

Hope everyone is having a fabulous week and finding some time to fit in some craft time. I am just loving the Yummy for Your Tummy Collection and find colouring these adorable Magnolia Stamps so relaxing.

This was a quick card, no layers, just cut out and popped up with dimensionals. Hoping this qualifies as a CAS card, as I was thinking these 2 Magnolia stamps don't need any extra embellies, they are sweet enough by themselves. I have entered it in the Magnolia-licious Blog Hop CAS Challenge.

This card is dedicated to Diana Crick from Magnolia-licious Store. I was lucky enough to win these delicious stamps  for the September Challenge over at Magnolia-licious Highlites - Anything but a Card. Thank you so much for your genorisity Diana.

I mentioned in one of my previous posts, I needed to hide my RED Copics, well it succeeded for a little while.

The computer does not display the true colours very well, but they are red, cream & chocolate.

I coloured 60's Tilda & Tin Boxes with my Copics both from Yummy for Your Tummy Collection, airbrushed the background. Added a little sparkle to Tilda's spots with Diamond Stickles and some Diamond Glaze to the glass jar. Used my favourite Cosmo Cricket Early Bird Papers. Lacy Border is from Martha Stewart double dot border punch. Cut the card with my Cricut, love the shaped cards. Ribbon from stash.

MDU DT Challenge - Easel Card

Happy Thursday Everyone,

My first DT Challenge for Magnolia Down Under Store. I just received my DT Kit from Kellie, & it felt a little like Christmas, woohoo.

Kellie set each member of her DT a challenge - we were to use a specific image that Kellie nominated from the Yummy for Your Tummy Collection - I was asked to use the Delicious  Dot Muffin and Magnolia Designer Papers. I decided the Muffin would be a perfect seat for Tilda or Edwin for a Birthday card. I also featured it seperately with the sentiment, I wanted to show how easy it can be used on it's own also.

Sneak Peak at the the new Magnolia Christmas Collection. OMGosh, the stamps are adorable and the Christmas papers are stunning.

This is also my first Easel Card, template here & directions here. This card was resized to 6" square. (1 pc of cs at 6x12" & scored at 3" & 6", 1 pc cs at 6x6") Thanks to Suzanne Dean Head Designer of Magnolia-licious Highlites Challenge.

Chef Tilda, Dot Muffin & Pattern Paper from Magnolia's Yummy for your Tummy Collection, coloured with Copic Markers, CS - American Crafts, Border Punch - Ek Success, Leaf Punch - Martha Stewart. Sentiment stamps - Hero Arts, Ribbon - Roses & pearls unknown.

Happy Hello

Happy Friday Everyone

Hello and thanks for visiting. I am so excited I have taken the plunge and started my new blog. I kept putting it off thinking it was going to be a lot harder to set up. It was not difficult at all, so many wonderful blog templates available, I would love to thank Megan from Shabby blogs for her totally shabulous templates, they are amazing. I am sure I will be tweaking this site for a little while, so please bear with me.

Hooray,  today I made a card just because, no challenges, just to practice using my much loved Copics and play with the adorable Magnolia Stamps. I purchased some new paper and have been bursting to try it out. I love bright colours as I am sure you can tell and I adore the Cosmo Cricket range of papers.
