Midweek Magnolia #62 Colour Inspiration

Good morning my dears,  Time for another new challenge over at

 MIDWEEK MAGNOLIAS      

As you can see from the picture above we have a colour combination for you this week, I'm loving this mix of colours, it screams summer (which we are all waiting for) lol, I wish it would hurry up and make an appearance, in fact spring would be nice but I think that season has given us here in Scotland a miss this year.

Anyhoo!! I digress.  For my card I've used the sweet Tangle Tilda  from the Once upon a Time 2013 collection and coloured her with Derwent soft pencils this time.  My papers are a mixture of Tim Holtz, Karrs and Prima.  I will pop a list of ingredients at the bottom of my post for you with links where possible. 

In the meantime please do pop over and take a peek at the amazing creation my fellow DT on Team A have conjured up for you this week.  As always please read the rules on the sidebar so that you don't miss out on the fabulous prize which the lucky winner will receive from Magnolia Sweden.

Magnolia-Licious/Wee Stamps DT - Ways to Weather it.

Good morning my dears,  I'm hear to share my midway card for our challenge over at

MAGNOLIA-LICIOUS/WEE STAMPS CHALLENGE 

 

You still have another week to join us in our "Ways to Weather it" theme.  All you need  to do is choose the weather, it could be Winter (like me) Sun, clouds, rain, frost etc etc 

For my Winter card I've used this sweet Special Stamp from Sweden - Winter Skates Tilda - available over at Magnolia Stamps 

She has been coloured with Copics/Promarkers and Derwent soft pencils.  My papers are from 2012 Magnolia collection and I've used the lovely lace doohickey border die.   

The cute bubbly snow is actually JumPing bubbles air dry clay. It's such fun to work with as it can be used in moulds or made into shapes of your choice if you're really clever.

Any way I will pop a recipe list at the bottom of my post for you with links where possible.

Suzy's Revamped Blog - Blog Hop

Hello my lovelies, I'm joining in with Suzy's Blog Hop to celebrate her new look Blog (which she has been neglecting slightly)  

If you've come to me via Jen (Scrappyjen) then you are on the right track.  I haven't done any scrapbook pages for a while now,  I seem to be altering, recycling and card making when I go along to our monthly crop in East Kilbride,  but just for Suzy' hop I've created this page of two wonderful friends (me in the centre) this picture was taken in Washington DC in 1991 or 2.  I've kept it simple using cosmic cricket papers and journaling with pretty petaloo and prima flowers. 

Now you need to pop over to Maggie (just scrapping) to see what she has created for Suzy's blog hop.  There will be a prize for one lucky winner all you need to do is follow the hop and let Suzy know.  Good luck everyone.

Hugs

Midweek Magnolias DT #59 Lovely Lace

Hello my dears,  I hope you are all well and are having a lovely week so far.  It's time for another fabulous challenge over at

MIDWEEK MAGNOLIAS

This week we have the theme of Lovely Lace for you.  I don't know anyone who doesn't own at least half a dozen different types of lace.  I love using it on my creations.  

Today, this utterly adorable Sweet Pea Tilda is making her debut.  I know I say this every time a new collection is released but I love this Once Upon a Time collection.   Tilda has been coloured with Copics and Derwent soft pencils and I've decoupaged her sweet little hat.

I've used lots of new products on my card this week, not just my sweet pea Tilda but Prima Fairy Rhymes paper collection and Wild orchid Crafts new mixed bundle of pink flowers. My little buttons are a Marianne Designs die but I've cut out 5 of them and just glued them on top of each, painted them with white Gee-Sso and finished off with some distress crackle paint - clear rock candy.  My Magnolia doohickey wings die cuts have been heat embossed with Fran-tage shabby pink, butterfly's are from a MS punch and my lace is from my stash.

Do please pop over and take a look at the amazing creation the Girls on Team B have made for you this week, they are just fabulous.  

We are of course delighted to be sponsored by Magnolia Sweden who will be sending one lucky random winner a surprise package so long as they follow the rules which can be found on our sidebar.

Good morning my dears,  Well it's Tuesday and it's Team B here to remind you that we are midway through our current challenge over at 

MAGNOLIA-LICIOUS/WEE STAMPS  

Our theme is to use Vellum on your creation in a fun way.  I've used a sheet of vellum from Websters pages as part of my background paper for sweet Pearl Tilda to sit on. 

This Tilda is from last years Summer memories collection and I've also used the butterfly's from the Once Upon a Time collection 2013.  I stamped them out on vellum 3 times, cut them out and used them to layer up and give a lovely 3d effect adding glamour dust to the very top one. 

All my Magnolia stamps are available over at Magnolia-licious stamps. Butterfly's here 

and Pearl Tilda here

Totally Tilda Dt #70 Midway Reminder

Good morning all,  Just a reminder that our challenge is still ongoing over at 

Totally Tilda

The theme is Heat Embossing.  I've used sweet Tilda with butterfly  from the new Once Upon a Time collection and I also stamped out the butterfly's then cut them out, added a little pink and black chalk  before coating them in glossy accents.  My heat embossing element is just scattered around tilda with some shabby pink Fran-tage and I embossed the die cut behind with shabby white Fran-tage. 

My papers are Lyric from the new range of Prima papers, Flowers are also prima.  The hand made rosette and the sentiment are from the same range of papers. I used a Martha Stewart RTP punch to give my card a nice edgy look. 

Please do pop over and take a peek at the fabulous examples the sweet Tildarettes have created for you this week.  They are stunning.  

Wishing you all a wonderful day
