Bunny Prince altered Egg carton

Happy  Easter everyone,

I'd like to share a little project I have been working on.

This is an altered egg carton that I'd been saving to play with. 

I removed the label and painted on some gesso to shabby it up then set to work with this adorable little bunny from Magnolia. 

This is Bunny Prince masked with a background stamp from the Lost and Found collection 2013.

All of the flowers, ribbon and ricrac and be found at The Ribbon Girls.

I do have something else to share with you tomorrow. 

Until then, Happy Easter!

Balloons ahoy!

Hello friends, 

I am here today to share with you a card I made for MDUC.

It is our 6th birthday today. It is also our farewell. 

MDUC was started in March 2009 by my friend Kellie , (although, we weren't yet friends) and with Debbie and Kristy, she built up a little challenge blog called Magnolia Down Under Challenges. Magnolia stamps were relatively new to Australia so it seemed like a great way to share the versatility and fun of these adorable stamps. 

Only a year later I joined the DT. It was an extremely exciting time and I was overwhelmed. I had only a few Magnolia stamps but was ready to acquire more! Karen  joined soon after.

After Kellie moved on to run her own stamp business, Debbie and I took over as the new owners of the blog, asking Karen to share in the fun with us.   It has been a fun 5 years and MDUC is something that we are so very proud of. 

Thanks to MDUC, we have made many special friends around the world. Our Design Team is an amazing group of women - both super talented and beautiful friends. 

Without these women we wouldn't have been able to bring you the challenges. 

However, the time has come and we need to move on. The dedication to the challenge over the years can't continue as our families grow. It is time to move on to other things. Our families need us. 

It is with great sadness that we close the  MDUC blog.

Please join us in celebrating 6 years of challenges by playing along in our last ever challenge. 

I used three Tilda's with balloons for my card. I've hand cut a cloud shape and folded an easel card to adhere it to. All three Tilda's are coloured in Copics. 

The beautiful embellishments are all from The Ribbon Girls.

A little side view :) 

Lots of Doo Hickeys used as well

Thanks for visiting me today. Please stop by the MDUC blog and see the amazing work of our DT. Pay them a visit and say goodbye. 

Thank you to Karen and Debbie for everything you've done for me - both challenge wise and as friends. You ladies are the best xxxxx

Happy birthday MDUC!

Hi there everyone! I'm finally here with my card for MDUC's 5th birthday! 

This fortnight the challenge at MDUC turns 5 years old, something we're very proud of. 

Unfortunately it is also a bitter sweet birthday as our DT "Mum" Debbie P is leaving us :( 

Debbie has been at MDUC since the very beginning. Karen and I came in 12 months later. She has worked tirelessly and with so much love behind the scenes for the DT. She means the world to us and her absence is going to be very much missed. 

We are VERY lucky to call her our friend but there are other exciting things in store for Debbie down the track. Debbie Hunny, we miss you already. 

My card for the challenge is actually a gift for Debbie and I have three little Tilda's on the front who are supposed to represent Debbie, Karen and myself. 

The papers are old Pink Paislee "Sweetness" from about 3 years ago :) I've used one of my MS Punch around the page sets for the pretty doily edge and all of the papers have had a little touch of white paint added to soften them. 

Most of the embellishments are from The Ribbon Girl. I've also used some Doo Hickey dies and my trusty sewing machine to stitch around the edges. 

There is still a week to go for the challenge even though I am a little late in posting my card. We're sponsored by Magnolia for our birthday challenge so pop on over and check out the work by the amazing DT, I love our girls, they are so loyal and wonderful, as much as they are talented. 

I hope you're inspired to join us and help celebrate our 5th birthday challenge 

Until later, 

Have a great week, Hugs x 

Tilda with Bunny Balloon

Hi again, well, I didnt think I would be back again until after the weekend, but here I am. 

This cute stamp, Tilda wtih Bunny Balloon, has been calling to me since she arrived at my house. 

Completely coloured in Copics. The dies are a new Spellbinders set that somehow found its way into my collection (oops).

Lots of flowers and some die cuts added. All of the embellishments are available at the Ribbon Girl.

Have you seen the new challenge over at MDUC on FB?

This fortnight the challenge is Valenties Day and we're sponsored by Ribbon Girl.

We'd love to see what you create! 

Hugs x

Tilda with Spring Heart

Yep, back again with my last card before I return to work tomorrow. I fear that I won't be at my craft desk as much from this point onwards. I have really enjoyed giving my markers a good work out these last two weeks. 

This is a little card, but with a Marianne Createables die and features the cute little Tilda with Spring Heart  (Lost and Found collection) masked to the Flower Cloud (With Love collection 2013).

I've used Zoe's "No lines" technique to stamp. I find it is a great way to practice colouring to achieve depth. 

I used the Doo Hickey die Romantic Lace to create the paper lace around the image. 

The pretty pink berries and pink twine are from The Ribbon Girl.  

As much as I am sad my holidays are over, I am looking forward to catching up with my wonderful work mates tomorrow. 

I'm sure this renewed addiction to my craft desk won't fade and I will try to be back with more to share as soon as I can. 

Have a great week,

Hugs Kylie

Tilda Rose Scent

Yep, still glued to my craft desk! 

The new Magnolia collection, Lost and Found are just TOO adorable! 

This is Tilda Rose Scent and I have masked her with Tilda's Dressing Table. 

The papers are MME "Lost and Found", haha, I just realised as I was typing. 

Lots of Frantage on this one. The hearts were fussy cute from the design paper. A large crystal at the top is from Prima. 

Possibly one of my favourite stamps of all time I think! I adore her hair :) And her fluffy slippers. 

I might be back tomorrow with another card.. see how we go ;)

Thanks for stopping by. 

Bunny Prince

Happy New Year to you all.

I was lucky enough to receive in the post on Monday the new Magnolia Stamp Club - omg - a package of total cuteness. I've made two cards with these stamps already, I'm hooked! 

The new colletcion is called Lost and Found and I couldn't resist inking up this cute little fella first, Bunny Prince. I've masked him with the flowers that also came in the kit. 

I cleaned up my craft desk a few days ago and located my edge distreser haha, so I put it to good use. 

The little bunny looks a bit surprised, doesn't he?

The sentiment is from the 2009 Pets and Animals collection. The papers are Prima "Delight".

Flowers and brads are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

I'll be back tomorrow I guess with something else so share. Until then, I wish you a super crafty new year!
