Pollycraft Challenge #78-Baby it's cold outside

Happy Monday everyone.

It's time for another Pollycraft Challenge and this week the gorgeous Lisa has asked us to create something to the theme of "Baby it's cold outside".

This is Lisa's last challenge with the Pollycraft team. You will be missed hun and it's sad to see you go :(

Here is my easel card.

I know, it looks more like a Spring card but I have used the lovely Sonny Honeycloud - 'Winter' digi image. I have added some white flock to her jacket and some cystals under her feet.

It's quite hard to create a winter card in Australia at the moment as it's so HOT! I even tried to picture myself somewhere cold just to cool down :)

The prize this week is a voucher from

The Creative Cottage

Remember you can used any image to enter the challenge but you must use a Pollycraft inage to win prizes on offer or become a Pollycraft Favourite.

Hope to see you in the challenge this week.

Keep creating, Kylie ox

Tilda Curtsy Princess

I just love this new image from Magnolia. This is 'Curtsy Princess' and she'll be making an appearance at Tickled Pink Stamps soon.

I followed the sketch from 'Friday Sketchers'. I loved it.

I coloured her with my copics and then added diamonds to her shoes, gloves, skirt and of course her tiara.

Kellie from Tickled Pink Stamps challenged us to make an easel card this week. So here is mine. I've used the gorgeous Magnolia papers which are also available from Tickled Pink Stamps.
I also distressed the edges of cardstock.

The lace and large flowers are from my stash and the ribbon, pearl ribbon slide, rose and gorgeous pink heart pin are all from Bizzy Bec's online store.

Well I'm off to get ready for the day. I have my beautiful friend Jackie and her 2 youngest children here today. We're to make some plans but don't worry, we've set aside time for some colouring with our copics today along with a couple of drinks for tonight ;) Lovin' it!

I hope everyone has a great day.

SO MUCH NEWS!

So much news and so little space!

First of all my most exciting news, the gorgeous Kellie owner of the Magnolia Down Under Store, has asked me to be on the Design Team until the end of the year! Whoo hoo! After picking my jaw up off the floor of course I said a big fat YES! Thanks Kellie and the rest of the DT girls for having me.

I officially take on this role the 1st April but in the meantime Kellie asked me to set the DT girls a challenge. Sooo...... "DT Challenge set by Kylie" is masking but with a twist. You had to mask a Magnolia image with a different companies imgae. This could've been 'Kraftin' Kimmie', 'CC Desings', etc.

As I have a lot of digi's now instead of rubber, this was limiting for me. (yeah and I set the challenge! lol.)

I've used 2 Magnolia images, the note paper and Tilda with flowing hair. This Tilda is part of the Easter collection. I also used the 'sitting' Gorjuss Girl image.

The girls have until Midnight this Friday to post their challenge cards.

I made a mini easel card and even incorporated some faux stitching which is the challenge at the moment over at the MDU Challenge blog.

I've added some glitter to the girl's dresses and also some glossy accents to their flowers.



I am going to enter this into the following challenges:

Magnolia Down Under Challenges - Real/faux stitching

Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge - Pink, Green and Flowers

Town Scrapper - Easter (Easter Tilda)



Are you all still here? Most excellent :)





Kellie is also pre-ordering the new Magnolia Ink No.3 in the store here.

Be sure not to miss out on upcoming news and specials by signing up to the newsletter. Why not do it while you're there ordering your Mag!





But WAIT, there's MORE!!
More you say. We can't handle anymore news from you today!
Well ok then, I shall save some more fantabulous news for you to read another day!! lol.
Yes I do have more to share and I promise to tell you all soon!!


Keep creating, Kylie xo.

Magnolia Down Under Challenge

oops!! Nearly forgot to enter my card into the Magnolia Down Under Challenge! (I think I made it!) I've also entered this into the Just Magnolia Challenge.

I coloured this gorgeous Magnolia stamp last weekend and then couldn't put it together.

I found a sketch from Firday Sketchers #88 (last weeks sketch). This sketch was amazing to work with. I followed it perfectly but when I thought I'd finished I realised I didn't have any flowers on it!! OMG! A card with no flowers? What was I thinking??

I made another easel card. Love these. The theme for Magnolia Down Under was "Pink and Grey". The theme at Just Magnolia is "Love". I've used SU Basic Grey and Pretty in Pink cardstock. Some SU designer paper and their eyelet border punch.

I've distressed all the edges and added some dazzling diamonds.

I've added some plain paper on the inside for somewhere to write a message.

I stamped some little hearts down the left side in pink.


I hope you like it. Thanks for stopping by and leaving me your lovely comment. They are so appreciated and I love to hear what you think!

Have a great weekend.

Keep creating, Kylie xo

Easel Card

Well finally I get around to making one of these easel cards.

I've used a Magnolia image that Jackie stamped for me before she left. In fact this card has Jackie all over it. She of course will have a dig at me for having the colour red on my card, the doillie is from her and she taught me how to make the flower with her big shot dies. The scallop cirlcle punch is the 1st punch we got together and then the oval scallop punch was a freebie that Jackie passed on to me. What a lucky girl I am to have such a beautiful friend.

Sigh, miss her heaps already!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful, crafty day!
