Newbies!

Still can't get used to this new blogger style. Well it is only my 2nd post using the new style so like anything it will take time to navigate my way around confidently.

I wanted to share my card today that I made a little while ago. This is one of those cards that I call 'My Therapy'. I sat mindlessly and calmly colouring in this beautiful image designed by Krista at Saturated Canary. Then the whole card slowly and surely came together with no stress and no fuss. I just love it when that happens. My therapy is then over leaving me with a peaceful mindset that I can achieve anything. Don't worry it doesn't last for long as the kids will break out arguing in the background ;) Thank goodness for my babies....My COPICS!! LOL.

Oh yes, the card!! Here it is.

Yes I'm still in love with lace but I've found a lovely new shop in blog land that sells lovely handmade elements like my flat backed button on my card. I luuurve buttons!! The shop was opened by the lovely Kellie Winnell and is called Freckles and Pigtails. If you know Kellie then you know this name fits her perfectly :) She has new stock listed each month and she's just added fabric covered buttons!! She is soooo teasing me :) I hope you find the time to pop over and say 'Hi'.

Thanks for visiting me today and I hope your day is Fabulous!

Hey, I'm back! Whoa, what happened to Blogger??

WOW, where have I been and what the heck happened to Blogger? I'm not sure if I know how to do this anymore? LOL.

I suppose 'life' itself has gotten in the way of my love of creating but it's not slowing down any that's for sure.

I have an interview this afternoon at one of our local primary schools to see if I'm able to do some volunteer work there. Why you say? I have registered online for a Certificate 3 in Education Support. I need to complete 100 hours volunteer work to help me with this course.So busy times ahead for me. Back to study!! (Better go dust off the old brain cells and see if they still work??) Hopefully when I've finished I'll be able to get some PAID work. Not only that, I hope I enjoy what I've committed to!? Time will tell.

So it looks like I've missed a whole lot in Blog land! Not to worry, I'm sure you'll catch me up! hee hee.

I wanted to jump into a challenge and I think I've just made Krista's over at Saturated Canary this week who's theme is "Happy Birthday".

This is a birthday card I made for a gorgeous little girl who celebrated her 3rd Birthday. I think this is a tutorial I followed from Simply Sassy??

It didn't quite fit in my envelope so a note to self for the next one would be to change the measurements on the front section. (scoot it over to the left more. Mmmm, yeah that will work!)

I hope to get around your blogs soon and see what you've all been up to. Have you all been behaving?? lol. What ever you've been up to, I hope you've had fun doing it!

I'm in love with my new dies!!

Happy weekend everyone!

Thought I'd pop in to show you what I've been making!

I received my new dies from Bizzy Becs Store this week and instantly I knew I wanted to make these....

I just love the vintage feel of these ones but I've also experimented with some different colours. Please excuse the wrapping. I had them ready for market today.

You can find them all on my facebook page, Charms by Kylie.

Would love to see you visit and become a liker.

What are you up to for the weekend?

A quick post!

Just quickly wanted to share 1 of the many baby cards I"m to make. It seems there's a baby boom on at the moment!! No and don't go looking at me! lol. They are lovely to hold though ;)

I made this one a litlle while ago and just waiting for that right gift to accompany the card in the post!

Hummm, don't mind the little bit of bling that decided not to sit right on the butterfly will you? lol. I'm a little ashamed to say I hadn't even inked up this cutie before but I've made it all right with the universe now, haven't I?

I love the bib bling which reads "Spit happens". hee hee.

What a trip to school this morning!! My little girl and I both got absolutely drenched!! I had to make a trip back home to get her some dry clothes for school. In the meantime my runners are drying out. Do you know how uncomfortable it is squelching around in your runners?? We're both dry now and ov course it's only a light shower out there now. School pick up time I'm sure will be a different story!!

Anyhow, so much for a 'quick' post. Sorry (:

Keep dry and keep creating, Kylie ox

Negleted stamp!

I wanted to join in with The Sugar Bowl this week so this made me dig through some very loved but negleted stamps!

Since I've been doing a lot of digital images, I then don't seem to open the draw of rubber stamps!

I found this Sugar Nellie stamp-Little Miss Attitude and knew I wanted to make a card using her. Isn't she just a brat!!

I also followed the sketch at The Sugar Bowl this week.

It was so much fun to use one of my dear 1st stamps I ever purchased :)

I'm entering this card in....

The Sugar Bowl Challenge

Papertake Weekly Challenge

I'm also having some fun back at my desk again making cards 'just because'!! It's been soooo long since I've just sat and created because 'I wanted to".

I hope you're all having a lovely weekend.

I'm still sick but out there painting while the sun shines :)

70 years of Marriage!!

Just quickly wanted to share a card I made for a couple who are celebrating their 70th wedding anniversary next month! Yes, 70 years of marriage!! They're apparently a spritely couple of 93 and 94 years of age.

I was commissioned to create this card for them.

This is one of Mo Manning's gorgeous images. I want them ALL!!

So a little bit of lace, pearls, flowers and bling combined with a lovely sentiment from DT girl from Pollycraft, Marit, and my card is done.

I hope you all have a great day!

Keep creating, Kylie xo



Fun card for some challenges

I've created todays card with a Hanglar and Stanglar image I'd coloured quite some time ago. So yes, I'm still creating cards with my goal of using images already coloured and papers in my stash!! Go me!

I've used the sketch over at The Sketchy Challenge blog this week.

I love these little wooden heart buttons I found. They're the perfect size for card making :) Added some lace, vintage seam binding, tag, flowers and pearls. Oh and of course some liquid pearls!!

I'm also entering these challenges...
