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.

A little birdie told me.....

Hello Lovelies,

Almost the weekend, hope you've had a great week and found time to fit in some stamping.

I made this for a little boy going into to hospital and was under strict instructions to make it bright and cheery without looking girly. Well the bright & cheery was easy but I always struggle wanting to add flowers, bows and sparkle, it always seems to be missing something without them. The little frog hops from card to card.  How cute is that little bird. I chose Edwin with cap as he looks just like our ginger haired little Jake.
