Sweet Sixteen!!

Just wanted to share the card I made for my beautiful daughter’s 16th birthday.

I didn’t even start this card until THE DAY of her birthday as I wasn’t feeling that well. I let her pick out the image and I’m so proud she picked a Saturated Canary image “Hippie Love”. This is the first time I’ve coloured this cutie up as well and she was fun to do.

I used some Webster’s Pages, lace, bling and rose ribbon I got from WOC.

We all went out for dinner and then came home to an awesome mud cake which was soooo rich but delicious.

I can’t believe my little girl is growing up this quickly but very proud of the beautiful and caring young lady she’s becoming. That’s not to say that she’s not your typical teenager though!! lol.

Hope you all have a great week and hope you stay cool if her in OZ as our hot weather is here! Yay!!

50 and not out!

My completed ‘commissioned’ card thanks with the help of my gorgeous crafty friends!

I had to make a card for someone who was turning 50 and the lady wanted a cricket image on the front. Well I never knew it would be so hard to find one!! There is everything else but cricket images out there. I put out a plea asking for help and my friends came through for me. Thank goodness for that as I don’t like to disappoint people. Then of course comes the stress of if they ‘like it’. We all have such different tastes and perceptions on how certain things should look, so I hope this will do the job

I’m still not sure on how much I can ‘bling’ up a male card but I just luuurve buttons and so they managed to find their way on there…in a manly way of course

I'm entering this into Sentimental Sunday Challenge. I have 3 papers, 2 binding, 1 brad and a sentiment. Check!

Well I better go and wash my clothes AGAIN!! We have a puppy (LARGE puppy) with us and it decided to have fun with the clothes on the washing line. Gggggrrrrrr. Needless to say it’s now going to go back where she’s supposed to be!! YAY.

Step back in time!

I was asked to make a 20’s style 40th birthday card in greens and blues. Well what image could be better than the gorgeous “Lil Lolita 20’s Evie”?? She’s just so sweet and a dream to colour.

I added a few of my favourite things such as pearls, lace, flowers and a charm.

Thank goodness they loved it. I’m always nervous when I’m asked to make something for someone as our tastes vary so much from styles and colours. Phew!! lol.

Bite Me!

Here’s a card I made a little while ago and actually loved the way it turned out.

The image is from Mo’s Digital Pencil and is called ‘Bite’.

There are 5 different dies used on this card including the 2 circle dies. They’re also ones that get missed in my stash, so I’m happy I remembered them for this card. Using the black has made it more dramatic so quite appropriate really that this is going to a teenager!! lol.

I’m entering this in Mo’s Digital Challenge Blog this week who are looking for dies/punches.

Hope you’re all well and crafting madly

Damn You Blogger!!

Blogger has done it once again and lost all my pictures! Yes, it’s driving me crazy, or crazier, you decide. hee hee.

 

I’ve used Windows Live Writer on my last 2 posts and these pictures are still visible. (cross fingers, touch wood). So I’ll keep writing up my posts via WLW and see how things go.

 

I really dislike my images disappearing as my blog is like a book of works for all my creativeness that now you along with myself can no longer view. GGRRRR!!!

 

Ok, rant over

 

Hugs, Kylie xx

Hugs and Kisses

I couldn’t resist this little cutie from Mo’s Digital Pencil.

I haven’t coloured many dark skinned images so thought this would be a good one to practice on.

I’ve followed Kylie’s sketch over at Sketchy Challenges. A great one to follow!

I’ve added lace, ribbon, flowers, dress charm, pearls and of course ‘love’. hee hee.

Thanks for stopping by. Hope you have an awesome day!!

Made some Father’s Day Cards!

I seem to struggle a lot with making ‘male’ cards but I found them a little easier using these images from Pollycraft! I love to load up my cards with lace, bling, pearls and flowers but men just don’t seem to like these on their cards too much? hee hee.

I still managed to sneak a few little pretties on them but NO bling!!

I hope all the Dad’s have a great Father’s Day this Sunday

A little 'Grey'

Here is another card I've created using the Saturated Canary image "Grey Tie".

She's so easy to colour up and fun to play around with. I haven't read the books yet but my sister tells me that on my next card I should have the sentiment "Laters Baby". Ok then I will :)

I loved colouring up her long locks of hair. I'll keep practicing!

I'm entering my card into these 2 challenges.

I'm making some Father's Day cards at the moment and struggling terribly with them. Why don't men want flowers, bling and lace on their cards??? lol.

I hope you all have a fabulous weekend!

Hello Sweet Maggie!

It's been so long since I've coloured up one of my lovely Maggies! This one is still one of my favourite Magnolia stamps as she seems so calming. Or maybe I'm just feeling calm as I've had my hit of therapy colouring her up this week! hee hee.

The little sentiment reads "Yes I'm just a diamonds girl"

Here she is with her matching tag ready to give to a precious friend!
