Tilda and Friends ATC Challenge - Make Your Own Background

Tilda and Friends ATC Challenge - Make Your Own Background. Oh I had fun making this ATC. I have had the trees from Magnolia for a while now but not used them for anything so it was great to finally use them. I have also had Lille Skeete for ages too but I bought it for easter - unfortunately I didn't get it in the mail until after Easter so I haven't used it yet. Woo hoo. So happy I could use for something. My ATC. Hmmm I stamped the trees on a 2.5 x 3.5" piece of card and airbrushed the sky in. The grass was just coloured in with copics. The grass line were drawn in with fineliner pen and the clouds were made by using my blender pen and taking the colour out of the sky. The bunny was cut out and stuck on with dimensional dots. The birds were also drawn with fineliner. Phew. That was a biggy. LOL. Hope you like.

Well it is the afternoon here in Melbourne. My boys are at daycare so it is just the little miss and myself. She is sleeping ATM so onto the computer to post the ATC and hopefully I can make another card whilst she is asleep. I have been making cards but can't post them. Shhhhhh it's a secret. LOL. Hope we all have a great day.

We had a great weekend here. The kids were able to go outside as it was nice and sunny but the nights are just so cold. I hate winter but at least we don't get snow here in Melbourne - at least not out my way. The kids just go stir crazy when they are cooped up inside. Oh well not a long time but I do hope we get lots of rain this year - we certainly need it.

Friday Sketchers 52

I decided I really needed to do a Stampin' Up only card as I have been doing a lot of everything else lately. I used the sketch from Friday Sketchers by the very talented Claudia Rosa. I had a very hard time with the Trendy Trees. Even using the Stamp-a-ma-jig I got it wrong a couple of times so this is the third attempt. LOL. I love this stamp set. I used the Good Morning Sunshine DSP. So bright and retro. Hope you like my take on the sketch. I did turn it around so I could do the Trendy trees.

Magnolia Down Under Challenge #12

MDUC #12 - Butterflies. I was going to use my Butterfly Tilda but decided that I would do something different. After the image was stamped I masked her and used my Copic Air Brush and B21 marker to do a sky in the background. I love this paper. It is by Imaginisce - called Twitterpated. So cute. I have seen it around heaps and finally managed to get my hands on some. I also used my new Nesties - didn't realise until it was stuck down but I used the wrong one for the middle - was going to use the same as the one on the front. No matter. Even though this weeks challenge hasn't been posted just yet I have been stalking the DT's blogs and they have posted already so I thought I would too. Hope you like.

Inspiration Award

Once again I have been truly blessed and I got this gorgeous award from Rowena aka craftypagan. Thanks darling I feel truly loved. Please go check out Rowena's blog - she makes the most beautiful cards and to make it even better she is a beautiful person.

I am sure in true blog style I have to give this to five people which is the norm, however I have chosen to give to just a couple of people - Sue, Cheryl & Tammy. I would love to give this award to everyone that inspire me - and that is everyone. If you feel like this I am sure you can grab up this award and pass it around. Love you all.

Missmatch

Yesterday I went to the Picture to Page craft show here in Melbourne and picked up this gorgeous little stamp by Stamping Bella. It is from the Ketto range - her name is Missmatch. So cute. They are so tiny so I only made a card 4x4" so she didn't look quite so small. I must admit that it is harder doing a smaller card as there is less room to put things on. So I left it very plain. Unfortunately there is something wrong with my sewing machine and won't sew :( so I couldn't sew it like I wanted. Nevermind. I still like the way it turned out. She is just so damn cute. I bought her from HeavenScent. Hope you like.
Now I bet you are wondering why I have a photo of a Cuttlebug and some Nesties - well you guessed it - I purchased this at Picture to Page. So rapt. Now I have to get my hands on some more Nesties. Woot woot.

Hope we have a great day. I will be back later to post an award I received from Rowena. Thanks darling.

Products: Stamping Bella Ketto stamp; Memento Tuxedo Black ink; copic markers; K&Co Amy Butler paper; SU Pixie Pink, Whipser White and Soft Sky (retired) card; recycled ribbon; buttons from around house.

My sweet Tyler

Yep more scrapbooking LO's. I am probably going to do two - three per day just so I can show you my style. I love love love the Dreams LO. It is one of my favourite photos of Tyler and it takes up (as you can see) most of the 12x12" page but that is the way I wanted it. My precious little Tyler. He was so little. Hard to believe he was ever that small when you look at him now. Makes me a little sad as I don't want them to grow up :( LOL. I am such a sook. Hope you like.


sorry but have no idea what products I used on these pages.
