Lil Lolita Boutique's 2nd Challenge

It's Thursday and time for our 2nd Challenge at Lil Lolita Boutique.

It's a photo inspiration challenge this week and here it is. You can make a card from what ever inspiration you feel from the photo.

I was inspired to eat cake but made a card instead. What inspired me was the pattern and the colours from the photo.

I used the delightful Lylah from the Lil Lolita range and used my copics to colour her in pinks and browns. The doilie, Florish with a Bling pearls, hat charm and Lylah are all from Tickled Pink Stamps.
Go and give the LLB ladies some love for their AMAZING designs and get inspired!

Lil Lolita Boutique are also on the look out for a Guest DT. So if you're in love with these little ladies as much as we are and would like to join the crazy fun, jump on over the the Lil Lolita Boutique for more details. Hurry though as this call out closes this Sunday, 20th June at midday. (Aussie time).

Just before I let you all go, I'd just like to wish one of our Lolita Ladies a very Happy Birthday today!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR KYLIEEEEEEEEEEE (the other one!)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUUUUUUUUU!!!

Hope you have a wonderful day Blondie surrounded by family, friends and lots of cake!!

Hope to see you in the challenge this week!

Lil Lolita Boutique's 1st Challenge & Hidden Candy!!

Yaaay, Whoo hoo, happy dance!!

Yes I'm excited to say "Lil Lolita Boutique" is open for business!!

Lil Lolitas are just so gorgeous and so loved that Kellie decided to give them a blog all of their own. The challenges will be set weekly and I hope you can join us and enter this weeks challenge. Come on, it's an easy one. "Anything Goes".

Anything Kellie aka Boss lady?? Well ok then. I made a card holder so I can store all of my future Lil Lolita cards.

Don't tell the others but I think Lilith and Willow are my favourites. Well for today anyway. :) I'll colour up a different one tomorrow and decide they're my fav!!

I coloured them with my copics and then hand cut them out! Yes, this is a big deal as for all who know me, know I detest cutting out. The papers are Grace Taylor's Vintage and the border punch is a Fiskars. (forgot the name)

Here's another pic with one of my fav Lolita cards in the box. Boy is this going to be full in no time!

You can only enter using one of the Lil Lolita images. Well it is their Challenge Blog of course! ;) I just seen the winner's badges too and they're fantastic! I want one!

Tickled Pink Stamps Challenge #2

So did you all get a card made for the 1st ever TPSC??? No?

Well here's your chance to enter our 2nd challenge.

This months Tickled Pink Stamps Challenge is to make a card to Kellie's sketch and a bookmark. I've combined this with the DT challenge Kellie set the Pink Ladies. This is 'a black and white image with coloured papers'.

You can use any image that Kellie sells in the store. (you don't have to have purchased it from her though, as long as it's a company that she stocks!)

I've used the lovely Willow from Kellie's very own stamp line of Lil Lolitas.

This is the inside

I used Laura Ashley 'Love Song' papers and lace from the P2P craft show.

The black mesh, flower charm, coloured flowers and Willow stamp are all from Tickled Pink Stamps Store.

The bookmark sits in the pocket on the left so you can give it as a gift along with the card.

Hope to see you all in the challenge!

Here is your present! Grab this and put it on your blog. If you have already seen this somewhere, I'm sure it's already being proudly displayed. It's what all Princesses should have on their birthdays ;)

This is my card to you for your birthday Kristy!

Well I've finally done it. I cased my own card!

Well sort of. A very long and boring story cut short (you can thank me later), I tried to make a Princess Tilda card for you Kristy. I really loved how this one turned out and decided to case it. Mmmm, err, well, it, it's in the bin. BUT, you get the original!! Whoo hoo!

No, no, no details, it's in the bin where it belongs for your own protection :)

Wishing you an absolutely 'royal' birthday Princess, surrounded by friends and family. I hope you get everything you wish for and more.

My Lilith 'GIrlie Girl' card.

Time for another Lilith card. I just can't get enough of this gorgeous girl!

Kellie set the Pink Ladies a challenge this week of a 'Girlie Girl' card.

What better way to show you Lilith's gentle, girlie side.

I've used the gorgeous Webster's Pages from Delicious Papercrafting. What a cheat way to craft. When you use these papers you don't need much else! They speak for themselves.

I made a mesh flower and added a button to the centre. The mesh and Lil Lolita image are from the Tickled Pink Stamps Store.

The pink roses and rose buds are from Bizzy Bec's online store.

Don't forget about the Tickled Pink Stamp Challenge Blog. Our 2nd Challenge is set for next Tuesday 8th, June. Go visit the blog for all the details.

Hope you're all enjoying your weekend. Still wet and miserable here but that's good crafting weather right??

Hanglar and Stanglar birthday card.

This card was so therapeutic! I loved sitting down the other night and mindlessly (yeah I know, my mind is never with me!) colouring the gorgeous little Hanglar & Stanglar image. Isn't she a cutie?!

This card is being sent out to a special little girl turning 3 next week!

I used the fabulous sketch over at Friday Sketchers. Loved it.

The papers are Bo Bunny and I got these at the Picture to Page craft show along with the ribbon.

Short and sweet tonight! 'Thank goodness" I hear you say with a sigh of relief. You cheeky buggars!! lol.

Hope you're all having a great day and thanks for leaving some love!

A boy's birthday card.

This is a card I made for our Nephew who turned 2 last week.

Don't stress, yes, I have sent it to him already ;)

This is an image from 'Colouring book pages'. A free site to download colouring book images. Not sure of the link so will endevour to look it up for you.

I coloured this sweetie up with my copics. The designer paper is We R Memory Keepers, MVP range available from Delicious Papercrafting. These are fantastic papers for male cards. You'll be seeing more of these papers. The mesh is from Tickled Pink Stamps and the rest is from my stash.

I'm entering this into the Sketch and Stash Challenge. I used their sketch but turned it on it's side. My never used part is the image and my neglected piece is my SU Blue Bayou ribbon.
