Spring clean , Summer time blog

Spring clean for summer
Well everyone has been changing their blogs, and giving them an update.
I have been a bit afraid to do this as last time I did I lost all my links and stuff, so I had to put it back the way it was ( thank goodness I had save the template).
This time everything was fine just had to jiggle my colums a bit.
As you can see I have decided to go nice and summery with a hint of lemon and an old parchment look.
I also think it shows the photos up better than the old blue that was there before.
I hope you like it, nothing like a bit if a spring clean and shake up, now for the house( anyone want to come do my house, ) I thought not

Love this one

Oh I love this one,

I used some of Kay Miller designs papers, this kit also had the little cute house and tree with it as well as some lovely backing papers.
I added both the house and tree to the background papers using my graphics programme, I also printed out a second house.
I then coloured a hanglar image using some water colours,then I decoupaged the second house and girl onto the front of the card.
I finished it off by adding the Just for you stamp at the bottom

Black & white tilda & co challenge

It's time for a bit of black and white theme, ideally no other colours to be used on you work.
(but if you are struggling with this then your magnolia image ( or 1 of if using more than 1 )may have 1 more colour of your choice.
Once again work must include a magnolia stamp, and could be anything as long as it is arty crafts.
I used some Two of the black and white designs from pink petticoats ( lola boudour).
I trimed the flower one and layered it over the dotty paper.
We were able to use one colour, so i used a reddy brown for tidas Hair, i also swept it lighty across the basket.
I then overlapped her onto some mat black card, and finished with a birthday banner

Scrapbook page


I have made this page by combining both digital and traditional scrapbooking methods.
The paper came from digital scrapbooking place, the title came from Kay miller, I have just discovered Kay`s web sit she has some great kits to download. You will find her in my shopping links section.

Crafters companion May challenge

This challenge was set by Rachel, she wanted a nice bright card with some gems added.
We could also make a matching atc if we liked.I have not done an ATcC but might get one done later today.
This is my first card, I used papers from pink petticoats, and a lola image, I cut out a circle frame and put it through my cuttlebug, I then arranged lola inside.
I must admit to not liking the finished card.
This was my second go at the challenge, I took the first card apart and added the pieces to some pearlescent red card, a few gems were added to eacg corner and a happy birthday tag.
I am very happy with this one, I think the other was way to busy for my taste, but I am sure some of you will of liked the first better

Tilda & Co Challenge

This weeks brief was

Decoupage Tilda & Co
Now for this week..... I would love to see you decoupage with your magnolia stamps.
This could be as simple as having a Tilda or Edwin, that is holding something, you then stamp that image out twice, cut out the item he/she is holding and then layer it up with foam pads or silicone glue, to give a 3d effect
Or you could go totally wild and build up lot’s of layers.
Please remember your work could be a card, Layout(scrapbook page) Atc, Altered Item, anything you like! alsong as your work has Magnolia Stamp on there somewhere

Here is my first attempt at one of their challenges

I stamped tilda onto the same paper that I used for the backing, I also stamped 2 images onto some plain card, these I coloured using marvy pens, I trimmed out the dress from the first image , decoupaged it over one of the coloured images, I then cut the basket, head and hair from the second, then I finished it all off with some matching ribbon

This Photo shows the layers
I enjoyed this challenge, I love my tilda stamp and hope to join in again, I have put a link to tilda & Co on my challenge section
