Hi there Maggie friends, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
How are things going? My little guys went back to school this week and it is so quiet around the house! </div>

The new Little Italy Doo Hickey dies arrived in my mail box today... so cute! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've used "Oregano and Basil" and "Parsely and Rocket salad" for this card. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The stamp is "Venice" from "With Love" collection of 2013</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've coloured the image to look a bit old and sepia. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well .... there is more to come! I'd better get colouring ;) </div>

Hey there, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had a massive clean up of my craft room this weekend - wow - how on earth did I manage to accumulate so much stuff? It is a really good feeling to clear it all out and actually realise what is in there. I could actually see my desk for once, well, for a little while anyway ;) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

Still having fun playing with these new stamps over here.... This is Sweetness Angel Tilda from the new A Touch of Love collection. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have coloured her with Copics and fussy cut. She's really cute! I think she has to be my favourite for this collection.. but I still have a few more to colour yet so that is still open to change. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The papers are Kaisercraft. Die cuts are a mix of Magnolia Doo Hickeys and Lawn Fawn Lawn Cuts. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ribbon and flowers are a mix from Ribbon Girl and Live Love Crafts. </div>

My little guys are still home on summer school holidays..... three weeks to go! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They've been enjoying a few crafty days too. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm sure I'll be back with another card orr project to share soon.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Until then, have a great week xx</div>

Hi all...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've been playing with the new stamps from the A Touch of Love collection :) Aren't they all just adorable? This one in particular stood out to me and I had to colour her first. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Meet Cloudy Tilda.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm back colouring with my Copics. I missed how easy they are to blend with. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The background paper is Magnolia. The cute sentiment "I'm right here with you" comes with the stamp club if you had preordered it... otherwise, they will be available soon at your favourite retailer or Magnolia's webstore -----> <a href="http://magnolia.nu/wp13/">HERE</a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is a bit of a CAS card for me, not much on it other than some die cuts, twine and rhinestones (in this case, Magnolia Knick Knackeries).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Did you pre-order the stamp club?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with these cute new stamps!</div>

Again Tilda has been water coloured. Still practising. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She is such a sweet little stamp. I was getting impatient waiting for the new stamp club to hit my mail box with the Christmas mail and public holidays so I pulled out this older one to play with. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She is from the Sweet Crazy Love Collection of 2012.</div>

I spent a little time at my craft desk whipping up a little birthday card with this sweet Tilda "Rose Cake" from the Boho collection. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The papers are a bit of mix, as are the die cuts.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The card edge has been punched using a MS punch around the page set. </div>

Little Tilda has been painted with DIs... yes I still need a lot of practice. She was stamped using Memento Summer Sky ink to give the 'no lines' look. I've used Archers "Smooth" Watercolour paper.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I really like this stamp. I've always wanted to try a Swedish Princess cake :) </div>

A friend is going through a pretty rough patch right now so I made this card for her. She received it this week so I can finally share it with you all. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7hlH8vQcNYY/VmohVSk_RaI/AAAAAAAAMmE/oSUlabUaVn0/s1600/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7hlH8vQcNYY/VmohVSk_RaI/AAAAAAAAMmE/oSUlabUaVn0/s640/2.jpg" width="344" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The image is water coloured which I thought was going to be a challenge with that beautiful hair but it turned out better than I expected. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope you like this for a change. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And now.... I suppose I'd better go back to the never ending pile of Christmas cards ;) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Happy Saturday everyone xx</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is a something a little different for me - a, it is clean and simple and b. it is a Unity Stamp Co image which I haven't done before.</div>

This stamp was a special I saw over at Unity Stamp Co and thought it was a bit cute, something non traditional and fun. So yep, 'added to cart' hahaha</div>

I've also water coloured it with Distress Ink so it took a little care as I'm not overly confident with the DIs. It was super fun though. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The image was then cut with a spellbinders frame and mounted on some super lovely ribbed cardstock. The embellishments are Doo Hickey dies star labels, and some twine. </div>

Hi there friends, are you having a good weekend?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm still struggling with bronchitis and middle ear infection.... it's been 11 days now and I am over it completely. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway - enough whinging.... yesterday the boys and I sat down for a colouring session. They love it when I go through my digi stamps, especially at Christmas time. This little guy "Spritz" by Saturated Canary caught our attention and we had to print him out for each of us. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

He was fun to colour and then put on a card. I don't know why, but all of the cards I make with SC stamps always turn out super bright. Not that I mind :) I'm happy with this cute little elf. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well.... I have a few more cards sitting on my craft desk half assembled so I will get to those this week as I have no more assignments due! I am almost all finished my course - and I have 5 high distinctions from 5 assessments! Not too shabby :) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Until later then,</div>

I pulled out my water colours for this card. Not something I'm 100% comfortable with and definitely need practice! However I am fairly pleased with how this turned out. </div>

No Magnolia stamps! OMG - what is going on? </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Oh dear, another dreary day here so I thought I'd brighten it up by putting together a card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is quite lightly embellished, which is a bit of a change for me. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I did add some stitching and sequins for some fun. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hello friends, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well.. today I didn't feel like doing much at all, no housework, no studies, nope, nothing. So I sat myself down at my craft desk for a little while and coloured in a cute little Magnolia stamp "Snowy Cottage" from the Waiting for Christmas 2014 collection. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have had a bit of a play with some of the amazing new dies from the Doo Hickey club too. They are just lovely. I think my favourite has to be the gorgeous snowflake. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The card is cut into a circle free hand and to disguise the rough edges I distressed them and added a border cut from a Doo Hickey die. The papers are Maja Design.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Image is coloured with Copics markers. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This was a fun card to put together on a rainy day. I wish I could get away with a few more 'crafting' days but something tells me the never ending washing and housework generated by two little boys won't allow that! </div>

Good morning everyone, I have a little project to share with you today. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is a little top hat that I made "Frosty's Hat".</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vwcoqYcBN-4/VigdV4TWNQI/AAAAAAAAKi4/WOUDE2EP98c/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="508" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vwcoqYcBN-4/VigdV4TWNQI/AAAAAAAAKi4/WOUDE2EP98c/s640/1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have used Doo Hickey dies to create and decorate the hat and one of the adorable new stamps from this year's Christmas collection, A Lovely Christmas. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-n2aXDgBlAz4/VigdV5m6FKI/AAAAAAAAKjA/CV-MVT8zN10/s1600/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-n2aXDgBlAz4/VigdV5m6FKI/AAAAAAAAKjA/CV-MVT8zN10/s640/2.jpg" width="628" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My hat was inspired by a Halloween hat that I saw on another blog this week, <a href="http://blog.lemoncraft.pl/2015/10/inspiruje-djamila-dodatkowy-tutorial.html">Lemoncraft</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I finally have a card to share with you using the beautiful stamps from Magnolia's fall stamp club. Pauline has outdone herself yet again! This beautiful little Tilda is from the club, masked together with the Christmas tree stamp from .... 2013 Winter Wonderland I think? I can't be 100% sure, time is flying by. </div>

So.... there we have it. Another Christmas card finished for the year. Three down..... several more to go! I will undoubtedly be back with more in the coming weeks. The stamps are just far too adorable not to sit and colour. </div>

Until then, happy colouring!</div>

Hi everyone,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Finally, I can share a card I made for a special occasion recently, my sister's 40th birthday.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided to use this adorable Sarak Kay stamp from Stampavie which shows a little girl and her dog. Growing up, my sister and I had matching doona covers of a similar Sarah Kay illustration in pink and blues, so it seemed appropriate to use this stamp for her birthday card. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also used the opportunity to make my card for the <a href="http://www.ribbongirls.blogspot.com.au/">Ribbon Girl</a> October card challenge - Pearls and lace.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsXG50L29wSPZt4dbubKKukqaiJQLjTMaFPwfF3yCHRvVjs0Shkj1SBQNZ5W4jwl2qc_i-fUbZJOS5N-JDzV6ioOe3s-FoTdK5obygUWUvjIG53J2V3F1bduLKQW9JKRYKrD5enm-XXkM/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsXG50L29wSPZt4dbubKKukqaiJQLjTMaFPwfF3yCHRvVjs0Shkj1SBQNZ5W4jwl2qc_i-fUbZJOS5N-JDzV6ioOe3s-FoTdK5obygUWUvjIG53J2V3F1bduLKQW9JKRYKrD5enm-XXkM/s640/1.jpg" width="617" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used: Bark hearts small, Dusky Blue Button Twine, Beaded berries Ivory/Cream, 4 Row Pale Ivory Bridal White Pearl Mesh, 5mm Pearl and Diamante Embellishment, 45mm Blanche Embroidered Tulle Lace, 12mm Molly Ivory Daisy Guipure, Seam Binding Limoges Blue, 3mm Ivory Pearl Bead String, Blooms Tiny Vintage Aqua, Stickles Stardust</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She's a pretty little girl with a sweet little doggy. We had one similar when we were growing up and I am fortunate enough to have another beautiful little fur ball now to share with my little kids. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope you get a chance to head along and join the Ribbon Girl card challenge, the prizes this week are from Ribbon Girl and LOTV, not to be missed. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope to share something else later in the week with you. I have my little boys home on school holidays at the moment so we might all head into the craft room together :) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Until then, </div>

Ahhhh .... last day of school for my boys today! We now have two weeks off. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It has been a super busy term and they are both exhausted and looking forward to some quiet days. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had a little play with another Christmas card over the last few nights. It is a fairly simply one but I am happy with how it turned out. Can you believe that as of today there is just three months to Christmas? phew.... it is going to just speed by. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The card base is cut with Doo Hickey dies and both Tilda and the Bull finch are from the So Jolly 2009 collection. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All of the pretty embellishments are from the <a href="http://www.ribongirl.co.uk/">Ribbon Girl</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The second layer is embossed with Swiss Dots embossing folder and all edges are inked with DI Antique Linen. The pretty Poinsettia banner die is from Memory Box. </div>

Tilda is coloured with Copics. The sentiment is from Penny Black. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have another card up my sleeve to share in a few days but I can't share it yet. I will hopefully have something else to play with on my desk soon. We'll see :) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

What is this? A Christmas card already? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sorry about that :) I had this adorable little stamp sitting on my desk so had to make a card with her. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She is <a href="http://magnolia.nu/wp13/product/jm09-unwrapped-tilda/">Unwrapped Tilda</a> from the 2009 So Jolly Collection. I have masked the Snowy Circle from the So Snowy collection 2009 in a pale blue ink. Tilda is coloured with Copics. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The papers are a mix off a few scraps I had laying around. I've used a few doo hickey dies as well to embellish. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I spent a bit of time in my craft room on the weekend organising it a bit so hopefully that means I will be inspired to craft a little more :) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Until then, happy crafting!</div>

Its Friday friends :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had my eldest home from school today with yet another virus. This winter we seem to have had our fair share of the germies being spread around at school. It gave me a good chance to have a sit at my desk and colour while he played on the computer.</div>

I have masked her onto the "Flower Cloud" from the With Love 2013 collection. The images are coloured with Copics and the background was sponged with Memento Sky ink. Previously I was sponging my backgrounds with Distress Inks, but I found that it was smudging the Memento that I used to stamp the image, making the background all murky so I've moved across to Memento to do the background as well. Once upon a time I would have coloured the background with Copics as well, but I use so much expensive Copic ink doing so. Sponging is more economical.</div>
