Another mission done!

Yes I'm still wading through heaps of pre-coloured images and my stack of dp's! lol.

I'd coloured this cutie up when I had my little trip away (along with many others!).

I've been dying to make some kind of tea light holder for awhile now and decided to go with the tutorial  that the delightful Jane Johnson made up here.

I changed mine a little and made a tag instead of an easel card on the side.

Just a little decoration with some Magnolia Doo Hickey dies and a MS butterfly punch.

It was my first time sticking down acetate and it worked! lol.

A bit of stamping on both sides of the tag, added a ribbon and da dah! Done!

I really enjoyed making this and it was easier than I thought thanks to Jane's tutorial! Now that I know what I'm doing you'll be seeing more of these! I think they make an awesome gift.

I found a challenge over at A Spoon Full of Sugar who are asking for 'Tags' this challenge so I hope this counts!

Thanks for taking the time to look at my little project today.

Keep creating, Kylie ox

On a roll!!

I am on a roll!!

I have made 2 more cards. This one and another Joy Fold Card.

I started making this one to a sketch but my image was too big, so I changed it around to fit.

I just love this Anya image so I thought I'd enter it into the Anyone for Anya Challenge. (I better go and check it hasn't closed!)

I used to make these flowers for my scrapbook pages and it's a good way to use up the scraps you have left over.

I coloured this image way back when Jackie was still here :( When I went to visit her in Canberra, she let me play with the Big Shot. That's how I cut this cutie out, along with a few others.

I will show you my next creation tomorrow!

Oh no, panic, panic!!

No don't panic. Crisis averted.

Well my 1st sketch challenge was nearly a head on collision! All of you lovely ladies out there were just too sweet to even tell me I goofed!

When entering a challenge at 'Anyone for Anya', you are meant to used an Anya or Greeting Farm image. Well my card had a Sarah Kay image on it didn't it!? So I can still enter this card but would be unable to win. So I hit panic mode and quickly whipped up this next card. Oh and look at that, it has an Anya image on it. Clever me ;)

Whew, now I can breathe again.

The plain CS is SU Brocade Blue and Bravo Burgundy. The border punch is also SU eyelet punch. The DP, clear pearls and main flowers are from Bec's online store. I sprayed them with Pearl Shimmerz and added Ice Stickles to her headband and bobbles.

Well with that done and dusted, it's nearly midnight so "Happy New Year" to you all.

(I'm off to bed :0)

Cheerful Card

Wow it's been awhile since I've shared something new.

We've all been very busy organising my partner who is being deployed tomorrow.

I've also been busy with phone calls both from my sister and Mum with news on my Dad who is unwell in hospital. Without going into all the details, he has had a brain bleed and after all the procedures he is doing well. Another few days yet left in hospital until he passes the danger periond and then hopefully he will be allowed home.

Now enough of the sad news and on with a card!

I coloured this gorgeous Anya image quite awhile ago. My pile of coloured images seems to be growing (because I love using my Copics!!) and so I thought I better start putting them onto cards!! This is a bright and cheery card for keeping away those blues.

I hope everyone has a lovely day and I'll be around to check on your blogs soon.

Love Anya

I just love my new Anya stamps from The Greeting Farm. They just seem calming.

Once again I've used copics to colour but these shades are from Jackie's collection until I can add more to mine. Thanks Jack.

The cs is from SU and is Old Olive and Really Rust. The printed paper is from Bec as is the rose and the butterfly.

Hope you all have a lovely day stamping.

No Pinks!

Yes, still loving copics. I am learning to breathe gently out of my nose now when I colour. Go me!! (Still no large areas for the moment though).

I wanted to do a 'pink' card for Jackie's dear Nan who is having a birthday on rememberance day. "Happy Birthday Mammy!"

I asked Jack what her favourite colour was and the answer was pink. I wanted to use my new Anya stamp (isn't she gorgeous!) and decided to do a pink card of course. BUT guess what? I HAVE NO PINK COPICS!! Can you believe that. MY fav colour combo is pink and green and yet I have no pink copics. (except for R20 for the cheeks of course).

I told you I need more copics. Look out Christmas!

I made do with what I had and so used my beautiful greens and then incorporated pinks with papers and embellishments. The beautiful pink and white roses are from Bec's store along with the patterned papers.

I hope you're all having a lovely weekend. It's meant to be raining here again tomorrow so I'll just have to stay inside and stamp. (whoo hoo).

Keep creating, Kylie xo.
