Hi Everyone,
It’s been a long long time since I posted here. So much has gone on and I have had so many funny stories that I had wanted to share but excuses excuses… I just didn’t get around to typing them up and posting. I have become a TERRIBLE blogger!!!!
Well hopefully that will change for at least twice a month! hehe My gorgeous girlfriends from Magnolia Down Under Challenges have asked me to come play with them. I am excited to be joining them as I haven’t been on the same team as all of them at once before. It will be heaps of fun and will likely help pull me from my little bubble I find myself hiding in… hehe
Now you know I looooove my maggies so it’s going to be a great excuse for me to MAKE time to ink some of my many ‘clean’ stamps I have been drooling over but haven’t made time to use. I’m sure I just need to get back into the swing of things and stop stressing so much over the layout of my cards. It’s what puts me off every time. I just wish they would turn out how I imagine them… LOL Oh well..
So today’s card was made with ‘Halo Tilda’ who I had coloured some time ago. I have a bunch of coloured images sitting around waiting to be matched and decorated with pretty papers.
The CHALLENGE is to incorporate THREE of your favourite colours!
Well… RED is my favourite colour to colour with. I always seem to go for my reds and then have to tell myself to try something else.
I am a little drawn towards PINK at the moment and I LOVE inking my edges with chocolate ink so I am going for a ‘PINK/BROWN’ second colour combo here… Well that’s what I am sticking too!! haha
And to help tie it all together I have used White…
I have been designing some new Christmas Themed chipboard which I will soon be releasing – I love how the snoflake border flourish turned out – it is so fine in detail – and the snowflakes behind the image is part of an oval frame and can be place above or unde rthe image. I covered each with white embossing powder to make them really stand out. I love the results of embossing powder on the fine detailed chippies.
Also, I have just released my new sentiment rubber stamps! Happy Days Tab Sentiments
It’s just a little ‘every day’ set but the idea for them is to have something nice and little that you can just tuck in somewhere on your card. It also comes with a bonus little set of matching chipboard cutouts!
As you can see I had to include my very favourite tag line ‘Big Squeezes’ – you’ll be able to easily stamp out Big Squeezes to all your friends and family too!! hehe
oh and of course mine are ‘ones that really squish you’ – hahaa
OK, well that’s all from me for now. I hope you’re having a wonderful weekend!!
Stop over to see the AH-MAZING creations my new teamies have created for this challenge – you’ll be sure to dribbling all over your keyboard. ![]()
