Baby Tilda

It is time for a new challenge at The Sketchy Challenges this week.

My bestie Karen is hosting and has a fantastic sketch to share.

The edges are all sanded to create a bit of a shabby feel and I've inked the main circle with DI Milled Lavender. The flowers and Pearls are all from Wild Orchid Crafts, the lovely corner and glitter heart are both by Melissa Francis.

I have inked up this little sweetheart for the first time. She is Baby Tilda from the Princes and Princesses collection. The papers are lovely Maja Design. 

I hope you get a chance to join us at The Sketchy Challenges this week! I know Karen would love to see the creations made using her fabby sketch. 

I'll be back tomorrow with my card for MDUC. Until then, have a lovely weekend!

Lilyrose the Dragon

Hi everyone! Long time no see. 

Gosh, it has been a whole week since my last post. That is quite unusual for me! 

I have a disgusting throat virus this week and can't seem to shake it so I've been a bit absent. 

Fingers crossed it leaves me alone soon!

My card today is features the adorable Lilyrose the Dragon from the Princes and Princesses collection from earlier this year. Such a little cutie and can be used for male or female cards.  

All of the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. 

The image is coloured with Copics. 

I do have another card to share with you tomorrow so I'll see you then! Thanks so much for stopping by.

We da Same!

Hehehe, "we da same!"  is something that my youngest says when he and his brother happen to wear something similar. Its so cute. And my card and this week's challenge at Magnolia Down Under remind me of him and the funny things he says. 

The challenge at MDUC this week is "Seeing Double" - we want you to use two of the same thing on your card. This could be anything... use the same stamp twice, use a large stamp and a mini of the same, two ribbons, two anything really. 

For my 'seeing double" element on my card I have stamped the Magnolia Branch (Sweet Rainbow Collection) twice on my background.  

This Edwin is one of my favourites. He is Edwin with Airplane from the Princes and Princesses collection. 

And this is Heartbreaker Edwin from the Raising the Ceiling collection. 

All of the gorgeous flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. 

I've also used the new Doo Hickey Corner die. Its so pretty! Along with a few other Doo Hickey dies :) 

I hope you have something fun planned this weekend. I'm hoping the rest of our weekend is nice and quiet. It began a little stressful but I think we might have resolved our big problem so that is a huge weight lifted. 

I hope to be back mid week with another card to share with you. I've been finding it difficult to get busy at my craft desk lately so I will have to find some inspiration somewhere. I am please to be able to say that my inspiration for this card last night were my gorgeous little sons. We love them to bits.

Hi there everyone!

My card today is for TOMIC challenge! 

This week are looking for Criss Cross card with the theme of Princes and Princesses.

If you haven't made a Criss Cross card before, gorgeous Silvie has done a tutorial for you to follow, thanks so much Silvie!

My card features Tilda Princess of the Valley and I have made my card into an invitation using the new invitation stamp. I used my Doo Hickey dies for the lace edging and tag.

Enjoy your week!

Tilda in Bathcap

Happy Monday everyone :o)

This little cutie arrived in my mailbox the other day and I couldn't wait to ink her up. She is "Tilda with Bathcap" and she is sitting on "Bath Tub", both stamps are from the new Princes and Princesses collection just released. I have also used the new Kurbitz flourish from the same collection, and the Especially for you sentiment from an earlier collection. This is an amazing new collection chock full of gorgeous stamps. It was a really tough decision narrowing down my selection when I was placing my order :) 

The flowers, lace, ribbon and brads are all from Wild Orchid Crafts....

The papers are MME Lost and Found 2.  All of the layers are stitched together and the images coloured with Copic markers. The bath has lots of glossy accents on it and the bubbles lots of stickles :) I really enjoyed putting this card together. 

Thanks for stopping by today,

Edwin and his Plane

This HAS to be my favourite Magnolia stamp of ALL TIME! Yup, I said it - all time! 

And why? It is the perfect interpretation of my little boys. My eldest has curly strawberry blond hair, and my youngest LOOOOVES all things aeronautical. So this stamp is the perfect combination of both of my little guys. Thank you Pauline for creating a stamp which suits my babies perfectly :o)

This card is for MDUC's challenge - Old Treasures.  The old treasures on my card are buttons from my dad's old shirt. My mum saves me all of the buttons :o)

I masked Edwin with Plane (Princes and Princesses) onto the Soccer bench (Winner takes it all) and then stamped the sweet Tim Holtz sentiment on the side in Weathered Wood DI. I really wasn't sure how the card was going to turn out, I don't really make cards like this often, lol, but I love the end result. The papers are October Afternoon Rocket Age and I have inked them with Old Paper DI. 

The string and flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. I just punched some holes and added some copper eyelets for a bit of a boyish touch. 

I hope you get a chance to play along with us at MDUC this week. We are sponsored by Tilda's Town and there is a fantastic prize up for grabs.

I hope you're having a great crafty weekend. I'm still not 100%. I wish my sinus infection would go away!! Oh well... at least there is ample time to sit around colouring in ;)

I have something else to share with you tomorrow so until then, have a great weekend. 

Me.  

TOMIC TIME!!

Its TOMIC time!

Wohoo.  This week the challenge is Feathers and Flowers + Liza's sketch.

I had a great time playing with the sketch and inked up little Gymnastic Tilda (The Winner Takes It All collection 2011)  for some fun.

The corners are stamped with the new corner stamp from Princes and Princesses. 

I decided to use the sketch a little bit differently. 

My card is shaped on the front panel and opens out with a belly band. 

The papers are MME Miss Caroline. 

And the rear of the card. 

I hope you get a chance to come along and play with us at TOMIC this week!

Thats it from me today. I hope enjoy the rest of your week,

Miracles

Hi everyone, I hope you are all having a magic day.

I have cute Wizard Tilda here to share with you today. She is one of the adorable new stamps from the Princes and Princesses collection. I have masked her with the Sun background from the Pets collection 2009 and the heart fence from Party and Vacation 2008.

Lots of fun Wild Orchid Crafts embellishments are on this card.

Thanks for looking and have a lovely day :)

Tilda Princess of the Valley

Have you seen the new "Princes and Princesses" collection from Magnolia? 

They are on pre-order and will be at your favourite store any day now.

I was really happy to see so many adorable animals in the collection this time. 

My boys let me play at my craft desk for a little while this afternoon - unheard of! They have been suspiciously good today... makes me wonder what I am in for tomorrow actually... ;) 

These two adorable stamps are "Tilda Princess of the Valley" and "Tilda's Castle" and made an easel card. 

I used the Magnolia Doo Hickey Die "Doily" for the rear of my easel card... it is a bit hard to see though behind the beautiful papers and Miss Tilda herself.  The papers are new MME "Miss Caroline" - so pretty! 

Well, that is it from me today. I'll be back with a bit of luck on Wednesday with another card to share.
Until then, have a great week!
Hugs Kylie
