For your Wedding - MDUC

It's time for another Magnolia Down Under Challenge

And welcome back for challenge #53. Our challenge this week is.....

IN THE NEWS - incorporate a bit of newspaper somewhere on your card.

 If you are wondering where my news print paper is, it is poking out from under the big white flower. I struggled a little with this challenge, I've seen some amazing creations using newsprint and the other Design Team members have come up with some amazing examples to inspire you, I hope you will join us this week and show us your wonderful creations.

I've been stuck in Wedding mode now for a while, I love the beautiful Wedding Collection Magnolia recently introduced and after making my Design Team cards to send to Magnolia Sweden,  I just can't stop. I don't know anyone getting married, but at least I will have a couple of cards ready just in case.

This is Magnolia's Bride & Groom, I've coloured them with Copic Markers. I was lucky enough to receive these beautiful doilies, pearls flourishes and tassle trim in my Tickled Pink Stamps DT Kit, Kellie has these available in her store along with some fabulous charms and perfect for Wedding/Anniversary themed creations. The matching gift box was made using my cricut expression die cutting machine, with tags bags & boxes cartridge, I need to buy some more of Kellies gorgeous tassle trim to add to the edges of my gift box. Both my card and gift box was glimmered and glamoured with Glimmer Mist and Stickles.

My 1st DT card for Magnolia - Chicken Tilda

Hello Everyone,

I am so excited, I received my 1st DT Kit from Magnolia Sweden this week. Lots of adorable stamps from the new Hoppy Easter Collection. 

I wanted to make something a little bit special, being my very first DT card and all, I decided on a Shadow Box Card here is a tutorial,  I have used Chicken Tilda, isn't she just the cutest, from the new Collection, available now for pre-order at Magnolia Down Under Store, and if you hurry Kellie has them on sale, 15% off all stamps listed in her store, including the new Hoppy Easter Collection. I have also used Happy Easter Sentiment Stamp - from Easter Collection 2009 and Butterfly background from Chasing Butterflies Collection. Coloured with Copics, DP & CS from Magnolia DT Kit. Lacy border punch from Martha Stewart.

Kick up Your Heels

Happy Weekend to my Crafting Friends,

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, today is a very short post as I am running a little behind with some DT work, I have spent yesterday in bed with a very bad headache. Never mind I am up & about today. I made this a week or so back and forgot about it.

This image is from Magnolia's Winter Kit and the latest Raising the Ceiling Collection - called Charleston Tilda, I think she is perfect for so many occasions all dressed up in heels. I had intended to use her for my New Year's cards, but I was away over the holidays. Coloured with Copics and doused her shoes & frill on her party dress with some glittery goodness. The gorgeous papers are Basic Grey's Sugar Rush, I was so tempted to buy a full book of these beautiful papers but I find I only use a couple of sheets of my favourites and then I am left with drawers full of unused papers, so I just bought a few sheets, how good am I hehehe. Sentiment is computer generated and Hero Arts and flowers & ribbon from stash.

Don't forget Magnolia Down Under Store is having a sale on all stamps, 10-15% off and this includes the Yummy for your Tummy Collection (just arrived in store) & Raising the Ceiling items displayed in store for Pre-Order also the fabulous Personalised Stamps. Sale finishes this weekend so hurry before stock runs out.

Have a wonderful weekend, I will be back tomorrow with my Magnolia Down Under Challenge DT project.

Thinking of You - Edwin

Hello Everyone,

I hope you have had a wonderful start to the week, yesterday was Australia Day, we had friends over to help celebrate with a BBQ and a swim. The weather has been so strange this week, storms, heat wave conditions and then the next day it is cool. Anyways, enough of my waffle.

This stamp is from the new Magnolia Raising the Ceiling Collection, Heartbreaker Edwin, such a perfect name for this adorable stamp and a new favourite for me, so many favourites. You can pre-order him from Kellie's - Magnolia Down Under Store.

This was made for the Just Magnolia Challenge - Jay Jay's Sketch.

I really enjoyed following this sketch, thanks Jay Jay. If you are looking for inspiration, visit Just Magnolia's talented DT's, their creations are amazing.

I have also entered this in the following challenges:
A Spoon Full of Sugar - Challenge 88 Freestyle
Everybody Art Challenge - Challenge 75 - Brown Blue & White

I stamped Heartbreaker Edwin twice for dimension. Coloured with Copic markers, the gorgeous papers are from my Christmas stash, MME The Merry Days of Christmas and the MS border is my new favourite, not new to MS collectors, but new to me. I distressed the edges, then a little sewing to give it that handmade with love look and inked the oval with Tea Dye Distress ink, the sentiment is from Hero Arts, I added some tiny heart punches and half pearls by Kaisercraft , added  the beautiful flowers and silk ribbon. (The colour of the ribbon did not photograph the true colour it is a better match in real life, oh well)

I also wanted to say a huge thank you to Janiel from ScrappyJan Designs for this fabulous blog award. I appreciate it and feel very honoured, thanks Janiel - if you have not visited Janiel's blog, you are missing out big time. 

So many wonderful blogs, I would like to pass this onto everyone who visits me, thanks you so much, your visits and comments brighten my day. Thank you to each & everyone of you. Have a wonderful week.
