Star Tilda

Ohhh - Christmas is getting closer! Just three months to go! And yes, I have finally started to get into the Chrissy mood.  

For this project, I washed out an olive jar and decorated it for a candle. The top of the jar is 'frosted' with German Glitter Glass. The paper is Magnolia and the adorable Tilda is "Star Tilda" from the Merry Little Christmas collection 2010.

I've punched around the paper edged with a MS punch and then added some cheesecloth and seam binding to pretty it up a bit.

 I can not wait to get my hands on this year's Chrissy collection - have you seen them yet? I am just GREEN with envy of my crafty friends who were lucky enough to get to Stampel Mekka this year and get them early - you lucky lucky ladies!!

And just to make you smile, here are my two best ever creations - my little boys! They are 'helping' me while I am trying to take pics of my candle holder, lol. They thought it was great fun blowing out the candle over and over. Cheeky little monkeys!

And the cheekiest monkey of all, my eldest. What a smile. Every day he begins to look more and more like his Daddy. I am the luckiest Mum in the world to have two amazing little boys. I fall in love with them both more and more every single day.

Ok, enough sappiness from me :) I'll let you get back to your day.
Thanks for visiting me!

TOMIC #17 - Get Inspired

Happy Monday to you all! 

Are you ready for some luxury and elegance? The new challenge at TOMIC this week is just perfect if you are. Not only do we have the most fantastic sketch by Tina to play wtih, there is also the theme of Gustavian Style with a stunning inspiration photo to get your creative juices flowing. 

For my card, I took inspiration from the lovely gold furniture and the cute kitty :) I guess it is kind of obvious, but the fabulous Vintage Chair from the You are so Special Collection was the perfect choice for this challenge.  If you are curious about Gustavian Style, you can read about it HERE. There are lots of fabulous hints.

  

I've used Magnolia papers for my and some Prima lace (the darker cream lace) and a mix of flowers from Magnolia, Petaloo and WOC.  The Vintage chair was inked in Versamark and embossed with gold EP. Tilda and her kitty are both coloured quite pale in Copics.

I hope you have a chance to play along with this challenge this week. It was heaps of fun, I just loved the inspiration pic and reading about the style inspired by King Gustav III.

Thanks so much for stopping by to visit me today. I will be back with something else to share with you tomorrow.
Have a great day!

Blueberry Tilda

Good morning! It is time for a new challenge at MDUC! This week the challenge is Fancy Folds. I couldn't wait to make one of these shadow box cards again, this one is actually for my sister's birthday which is today! Happy Birthday Nai! 

I was searching through all of my stamps and came across this little cutie pie. I just love all of the Magnolia stamps but the A Little Yummy collection is definitely one of my all time favourites. This is Blueberry Tilda and I've used both the full sized Tilda and the mini Tilda. 

The papers are Lilybea Design (I think - I'll have to double check) and I just adore this gorgeous lavender colour.  The inside image is Blueberry Tilda masked with the Heart Fence.

The images are all coloured with Copics. The pretty paper lace edge is cut with Magnolia Doo Hickey Dies. 

The mini Tilda is stamped on Make it Colour cardstock and then trimmed and mounted on 3d tape onto bazzil, which was die cut with the new Doo Hickey doily die. 

Well.. thanks for stopping by to visit me today!
