The gorgeous card featured on the front cover was made by the very talented Lillemor, a huge congrats Lillemor and all the amazing Design Team Members.

Time for another TPS Monthly Challenge

It's time for another Tickled Pink Monthly Challenge # 4

This month Kellie has given us another fab sketch to follow.

I love sketches it makes it so much easier, not too much thinking needed. I sort of  stuck to the sketch, oh ok not quite, but rules are meant to be broken.

Another plain card for me without any flowers, I didn't think it needed any with this sweet Tilda, she is so sweet and to tell the truth my mojo has gone walkabout again since I was sick, hoping it comes back soon.

I hope you will join the fun this month and remember you can use any stamp from the the stamp companies Kellie stocks in store.

MDUC Birthday Challenge

Happy Sunday Everyone,

I hope you are all well and find time for a little crafting this weekend. Some of my USA blogging friends spent time in Chicago for Summer CHA, so many yummy new goodies coming soon, I can't wait. Looks like you all had such a wonderful time, I would love to visit when CHA is on, it has been a few years since my last visit, maybe next year!!!

Anyways, it's time for another

MDUC Challenge and this week it's a Birthday Challenge,

in honour of our gorgeous Boss Lady Kellie,

it's Kellie's birthday on August 5,

I hope you will all stop by Kellie's blog & leave her some birthday loving.

Over the last month or so, there has been a lot of birthdays within the team and speaking of birthdays, it was Chantelle's yesterday,
Happy Birthday Chantelle.

Apologies for the terrible photo, I'll try to re take the photos in daylight (later today).

I coloured up the new Tilda with Gifts from the Wedding Collection, but noticed she was very popular with some of the other DT's this week, so I decided to ink up another of my favourites, she needed some loving, it's been a while since she came out to play.


I stamped Tilda twice and popped her up for dimension, airbrushed the background, also tucked one of Magnolia's gorgeous Vintage Tags in behind the sentiment for a handwritten message.

Fairydust Tilda using Doohickey Dies

Magnolia's new Doohickey Leaf (from the Leaf & Swirl)

Fairydust Tilda

Hello Stampers, I hope you are all having a wonderful start to the week. I have at last caught up on all my DT commitments and now have time to play with some of the Fairytale stamps and Magnolia's new Doohickey dies until now. The fabulously creative Pam from Expressions with Heart inspired me, she has been playing with the new dies, take a look at this  stunning creation, using all the Doohickey dies, thanks Pam, I hope you will stop by and have a look at her beautiful blog.

Magnolia's new Doohickey Tilda Lace and matching tag (Vintage Tag)

I coloured up Fairydust Tilda, I love her to bits, she looks to me she could be blowing fairydust or even kisses, and in this case I have her blowing both, I have added some tiny hearts. My Sister-law has been having a bit of a hard time of late and I thought this might be a nice card to send to cheer her up a little, hope she likes it. I dusted off my Prismacolor pencils, I haven't used them in years, as you can see I need lots more practice, but I am sure she will still love this. I have used the Doohickey leaves, sponging them with distress ink. Then on the inside I've used Tilda Lace (border) to make a pocket to hold Vintage Tag. I have written a little note on the back of the tag.

Happy Spring at MDUC

Happy Sunday Stampers,

It is time for another Magnolia Down Under Challenge and this week the challenge is to make a seasonal themed card.

I have been itching to ink up this gorgeous girl (Tulip Tilda) from Magnolia's new Wedding Collection and as you can see she would be perfect for so many occasions. I have teamed her up with the tulip (Two Tulpis) from Magnolia's Easter Hoppy Easter Collection 2010 , a perfect match.

I have coloured the images with Copics (V000, V12,15,17 & B000 - B04) cut them out and popped them up for some dimension, airbrushed the background, added lots of Star Dust stickle sparkle, the papers are from Kaisercraft (Utopia Collection), loving these gorgeous colours, and then stamped the inside with more of the tulips and the sentiment is from Hero Arts.

Hope you will join us this week.
