<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hello everyone......I know it has been a very long time since I lasted posted but I just find these days with being able to quickly share on facebook I just don't pop in here as often....Also obviously we have had I quickly share on facebook and think I will blog that later but later never seems to come!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
It is nearly the end of the school holidays here which will hopefully also mean more routine. have also cut back on work a little so I will now have more time to craft again. I look forward to a new year crafting! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today I am sharing with you a card I have made using the MIC Image, Skating Tress. isn't she adorable. In fact this whole range of images are perfect for the age my daughter is at so I can see I will be using these a bit this year. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am not sure that I have finished it off too well this card. I tried to embellish but I think I should have kept it CAS. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Good morning everyone I hope this post finds you well.<br />
<br />
Over on Facebook in the Make it Crafty Group we run a monthly sketch challenge. This month I created quite a layered sketch and I hope it has not put everyone off!<br />
<br />
What I love about layered sketches like this is that it is as great opportunity to be able to use lots of pretty papers together. I made my card quite bright and have to say this is one of my favourites for a while!<br />
<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have used the gorgeous Felicity Stamp which is part of the 60's Girlfriends Collection and you can find her <a href="http://www.makeitcrafty.com/felicity-digi-stamp.html" target="_blank">here</a>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you are wanting to play along with the sketch you find it <a href="https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/923037_10151867475120914_1763016631_n.jpg" target="_blank">here</a>. I hope you can find the time to come join us and who knows you could win a MIC Store voucher o a choice of a digi. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Fist I just want to say I know I have neglected my blog for a while now but life has been crazy busy and then we went on a much needed family road trip to sunny QLD visiting lots of beautiful places in NSW,
including Sydney, and then coming home via Dubbo and visiting the amazing zoo there. Once we got back we had a few days to get back into the swing of things before we all had to head back to school and work. To be honest we all relaxed so much it has been a struggle to get back into it but we are finally getting there!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Happy Saturday everyone....where ever you are today I hope you get to indulge in a least a little amount of crafting :-)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Today I have my new piece I have coloured however due to grumpy children I have not got to make her into a card yet. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">I thought I would share with you at least my colouring of Pipi as I have tried some new colours and done some smooth gradient colouring which will hopefully help prompt you about the current colour challenge over on the Make it Crafty FB Fan page. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">I have had pipi printed for ages waiting to be coloured and today some ink found her!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">The hair is a new Pink Combo I have tried out.....Not bad but still not what I am after. Back to the thinking board. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">I did the hair in smooth gradients as well. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">I also used the skin colouring (except the BV20 as I dont have that) that was posted by Jen for the Colour of the Day post on FB. I dont know baout you but I have loved the colour of the day posts so quick and handy. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">It’s time for the Make it Crafty to pour a round of drinks at the super special tea party celebrations!</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #333333; line-height: 17px;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 17px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
Not only are we celebrating the magical release of Alice in Wonderland, but Make it Crafty has turned 3! All thanks to YOU, the incredible artists and the amazing Make it Crafty team!</div>
</span><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #333333; line-height: 17px;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 17px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
Let’s dance around from chair to chair, sipping a drink, eating a cake, shrinking then growing with excitement as you watch the entertainment unfold before your eyes.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 17px;">Be careful not to miss the hidden words as you’ll need to collect them along the way and string them all together to form a quote. Simply enter the quote at the end of the hop for a chance to win!</span></div>

Ohh how I just adore this release so much diversity with styles, there is really something for everyone. I was lucky enough to get to play with 2 of the new images Falling Alice and White Rabbit. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 17px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Firstly I used the Rabbit and made this birthday card for my card....</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 17px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was trying my hardest to fit a sentiment inn but I think because the card is so big it just got lost or looked out of place so once again a CAS card from me.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"> You may remember last month I was mentioning that I have decided to make a start on my Christmas cards. Well although I have not progressed as much as I would like I have managed to create a new Christmas card to share with you today..</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">I just adore these Elves from Make it Crafty they are super cute and just so much fun to colour. I cut him out and then I 3D mounted him onto the card. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Once again a very simple card but that seems to be my style at the moment!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">So I have used:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Good morning everyone I am here today to share with you my latest MIC Creation...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">I generally craft how I am feeling and when I was making this card I was getting blown away!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"> Lots of heavy winds for my part of the world, up to 125km an hour, when I was making this card so it was fitting...well a little I think she is in a breeze and technically I had howling winds but hey close enough! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">That's the great thing about MIC images so much variety you really can have an image for every occasion.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">My card is quite simple but I just love how it turned out. The yellows and greens together worked really well...I think I have found a new favourite combination.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Here is a close up:</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Good morning everyone today I am sharing with you my latest <a href="http://www.makeitcrafty.com/" target="_blank">Make it Crafty</a> creation. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">I had a birthday card to make for a good friend and these Rocker Images are just perfect for male cards.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><a href="http://www.makeitcrafty.com/store-blog/?attachment_id=5135" rel="attachment wp-att-5135"><img alt="27 June" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5135" height="485" src="http://www.makeitcrafty.com/store-blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/27-June.jpg" width="500" /></a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">I have made it a little 80's tragic as I can just imagine him in the day rocking away in his hey day! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">I kind of imagined the black bits coming off the side of the image as being part of the guitar?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Another clean and simple card from me I just cant seem to do busy cards at the moment. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">These images are so much fun to play with and I am sure I will be using them all within good time. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Good morning everyone I am here today to share with you my latest MIC Creation. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Last year I was caught by surprise when it got the the end of November and I only had a handful of Christmas cards ready.....eeeek I will not do that again so I have started early this year perhaps not as early as I should have but hey I am on better track that last year. Ask me again in November and I might be doing the yearly freak out!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">I loved these Christmas Images Zoe had last year but with leaving things to the last minute I really did not have time to play with them.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"> So at this stage as I have time, I took on one of the more time consuming images, Girls Carol Singing, and this is what I came up with..</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj85VhW0_-S4ao8GSPc_LPfde4AxWRk-Zk__7Xqx_Ku1EVgyyL7o_PbdOYZvIJsIIklKbiUNkQpdaOaEQlmlMhwQfOvfkX6lNEFUzU05B0MVHpVxEllIsduc9625gE9bm4SZUME39X4QQE/s1600/MIC.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="286" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj85VhW0_-S4ao8GSPc_LPfde4AxWRk-Zk__7Xqx_Ku1EVgyyL7o_PbdOYZvIJsIIklKbiUNkQpdaOaEQlmlMhwQfOvfkX6lNEFUzU05B0MVHpVxEllIsduc9625gE9bm4SZUME39X4QQE/s320/MIC.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">I kept my card very simple as I wanted, like all my MIC cards, to let the image be the feature.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><strong>MIC Crafty Products:</strong></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">I am really sorry I would normally list the copics I used but I have thrown out my list that I had written them on. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Public Holiday here is Melbourne today so I am enjoying the lazy morning here.....now to sit by the fire and do some more colouring. .</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hi everyone I'm here today to show you a boys birthday cad I have created using mainly the different urban elements collections and racing Rick from Make it Crafty.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I don't know about you but I really struggle making cards for boys, I don't know if it is because you just cant go adding lots of pretty embellishments? Anyhow I have always been a big fan of the Urban Elements so I thought it was about time I used them and challenged myself and this is what I came up with....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.makeitcrafty.com/store-blog/?attachment_id=4806" rel="attachment wp-att-4806"><img alt="urban elemtns" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4806 aligncenter" height="419" src="http://www.makeitcrafty.com/store-blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/urban-elemtns.jpg" width="500" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I let all the elements be the "feature" of the card....Racing Rick has been foam mounted and so has the car so they pop from the page. I have to say I had so much fun making this card and just loved that Racing Rick reminded me of my son with his hair in his eyes!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I used a piece of designer paper I had cutting out the letters to create my sentiment. Added a bit of distressing and faux stitching and whola I had a boys card!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I would normally list the copics I have used but I used so many the list would just be huge!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Good morning ladies and maybe even gentleman! Sorry warped humour already!!!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today it is Sunday which means we have a new challenge for you play along with at <a href="http://magnoliadownunderchallenges.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">Magnolia Down Under Challenges</a> and this week we have a gorgeous sketch to inspire you. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tomorrow is my baby girls 11th Birthday, feels like just yesterday she was born I cant believe she is already 11. I am scared to think how quick the next 11 years will go! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So when I sat down to make my card I knew that I had to use one of her favourite Tilda's, pink paper and of course an Owl...she is just Owl crazy....I am working on an owl project for Make it Crafty and cant wait to get it finished to show you...ok back to this weeks card joining all those elements together and this is what I came up with......</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTMMsOn7LjjqC_bMOPKzJeAb-xZea5k21IaKSWqFFhbFQKml2aqXi9oy_qV_rAL_ae2Rkz5dUBi1UMVQgPt9m6495lEqB3ueWMyTi84IvxDAcQIN4QHIHfa5_BqQoKvnyY3YjfUQigqQI/s1600/sketch+5th+May+2013.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="325" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTMMsOn7LjjqC_bMOPKzJeAb-xZea5k21IaKSWqFFhbFQKml2aqXi9oy_qV_rAL_ae2Rkz5dUBi1UMVQgPt9m6495lEqB3ueWMyTi84IvxDAcQIN4QHIHfa5_BqQoKvnyY3YjfUQigqQI/s400/sketch+5th+May+2013.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and here is the sketch:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQJtonh40hLg3R-LJc-MYqTTUDPzBbAvaUVLJayOSDlKgpTzwATqufR93l_15ZlgdJW-j9A6jwb3HafHBLSARUXGB3Y4gqft7hMKsGK4p_0DphZ_8SQau3rrtnNOw3D4eNZT-w9IXOU2gs/s1600/Sketch.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQJtonh40hLg3R-LJc-MYqTTUDPzBbAvaUVLJayOSDlKgpTzwATqufR93l_15ZlgdJW-j9A6jwb3HafHBLSARUXGB3Y4gqft7hMKsGK4p_0DphZ_8SQau3rrtnNOw3D4eNZT-w9IXOU2gs/s400/Sketch.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I got one tag and then used more gems to create the bubbles and put this where the second tag is on the sketch. Quite a basic as in Clean and Simple card, but I am liking that style at the moment and I have also found that I just don't have the time to sit there pushing embellishments around for hours trying to make it not look like someone has vomited all over my card!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I played with some different colours with my copics this week and have to say I like the effect. I also had fun drawing some grass and then painting some flowers on it. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I know I say this every week but you rally must pop by the main <a href="http://magnoliadownunderchallenges.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">blog </a>and check out the inspiration We have Lillemor joining us for the first time and then of course our regulars have just rocked this challenge. As I was scrolling down to add my card I kept going oooo ahhhhh! Of course you will also see the Live & Love Crafts are our sponsor this week.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So that's it from me today. I will be back in a few days. Off to my little man's footy match soon. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Good morning everyone I am hoping this post finds you well.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This week at <a href="http://magnoliadownunderchallenges.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">Magnolia Down Under Challenge</a>s we are going green...That's right we want to recycle! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I just knew last year that when I received a present from my sister with a tag on it from one of my favourite shops that I would get the chance to reuse it. It has taken a while for the opportunity to arise but now it has I love the transformation. It is pretty basic I must admit but I am really liking clean simplified projects at the moment. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So here is the tag as I got it:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj79i_EZyeOfE92dTEQ6Q7SeIjY8lm_Vtn2Plg9EcrnUDE0ceunLSanqsG-Qh7PRcbMnW08JyoJvxDdWEaDrl4S_ZOOMwqYd6NtFRw81Cs3A0niQuAse5iVDMS1TkpFMWOSJzorSke6vaw/s1600/going+green+base.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj79i_EZyeOfE92dTEQ6Q7SeIjY8lm_Vtn2Plg9EcrnUDE0ceunLSanqsG-Qh7PRcbMnW08JyoJvxDdWEaDrl4S_ZOOMwqYd6NtFRw81Cs3A0niQuAse5iVDMS1TkpFMWOSJzorSke6vaw/s320/going+green+base.jpg" width="197" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">and here is my tag:</span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5iExJ5E_J1FIBiaVhHnZFCCLVLZukdnLGh7a6dSrNoEpSV7sZXBo6DpJ_H8zMm1ERppmun8R2LEU-ERrGAlTh0rMDCMGAJJIvkbCk8BHxRkXhpaK5ynC4TgNg-QnN-yOhcN2Iplj2zbA/s1600/going+green.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5iExJ5E_J1FIBiaVhHnZFCCLVLZukdnLGh7a6dSrNoEpSV7sZXBo6DpJ_H8zMm1ERppmun8R2LEU-ERrGAlTh0rMDCMGAJJIvkbCk8BHxRkXhpaK5ynC4TgNg-QnN-yOhcN2Iplj2zbA/s400/going+green.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You can see that I also reused some cardboard too. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was shuffling through my Magnolia's looking for one to use and then I saw this one. Aww the memories this was about the 3rd Magnolia stamp I ever brought and I have to say I loved bringing her out for a play. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">No I know we have a great sponsor this week so pop over to <a href="http://magnoliadownunderchallenges.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">MDUC </a>and check it out and of course all the other samples of recycling there. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am so excited to be here tonight to show you my card using one of the fabulous new images from Make it Crafty....I just love this new range of the Theatre Collection and The Band Collection and judging by all the chatter in our DT group so does everyone else!</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I used the goreous Soprano Opera Singer, I just love her, and have made a card for my baby sisters birthday. I say baby but she is turning 30! </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Another clean and simple card as I feel that the Soprano Opera Singer just needed to shine! I think the paper itself too is busy too so it did not need a lot embellishments. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Good afternoon, today I am here to share with you my latest Make it Crafty card.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"> This week our challenge was Wonderland and I have to admit that I struggled with it for a while</span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"> I am not sure if it because I have been sick lately and my brain could not be creative so I opted for an easer option of using one of the gorgeous fairytale images...My toughest decision was which one to use!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">I decided to make it really girlie and use my latest colour combo of copics.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"> Ok enough rambling here it is..</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.makeitcrafty.com/store-blog/?attachment_id=4601" rel="attachment wp-att-4601"><img alt="wonderland" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4601 aligncenter" height="500" src="http://www.makeitcrafty.com/store-blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/wonderland.jpg" width="437" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">You can see that I have kept my card quite basic and just allowed the gorgeous image to shine.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"> The papers are also quite busy helping with my decision to go CAS. I am not sure in the end result (I think I don't like the bow) but my 10 year old daughter thinks it is gorgeous so it obviously appeals to the younger mind. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><strong>Copics:</strong></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Dress - BV17, BV13 & BV02, R83, R20 & R00</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">So that is it for me today. I hope you have enjoyed my card and that I may have inspired you to go use one of these gorgeous Fairytale images. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Thanks for taking the time to have a look. Until next time....</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Morning all I hope I am here today to share with you my card I did for my <a href="http://www.makeitcrafty.com/store-blog/category/dt-inspiration" target="_blank">MIC Weekly Inspiration</a> Post. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Our inspiration for you this week is CAS (Clean and Simple) with an additional colour challenge being Grey Monochrome with one colour.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">This was a great challenge and strongly suggest you all challenge yourself to try this out. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">I choose to use Flying Balloon Contraption as I felt using the monochrome would suit this image giving it a real vintage feel. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">You can see I obviously choose to use red as my additional colour I think it pops against the greys.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">I really enjoyed doing a CAS card especially with this image as it just allows it to be the focus.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">I used lots of grey copics for this choosing to blend the warm grey's with cool grey's and am pretty happy with the end result :-)</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Good morning all I hope you have having a lovely weekend. It is long weekend for us here and yesterday we spent the day and evening down at the beach with my family water skiing. Was such a wonderful day and a great way to to cool down from all this heat we have here. Boy I am looking forward to it being over. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So this week we celebrate the 4th Birthday of <a href="http://magnoliadownunderchallenges.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">Magnolia Down Under Challenges</a>. I have been on this team for two going on three years now and I can honestly say it is an absolute delight being on a team with these ladies. Not only do we talk craft we talk about everything and I know that no matter what time of day or night it is that I can put a call out for help and somewhere will be there to listen. Thank you ladies for being so wonderful and a very big happy birthday to us!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">With every birthday celebration there is a party and party is complete without a party hat, so that is what I decided to make. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgHG4q6eLj9TZQTJra2bL2bPUMLV7NZgF8DNZ-B7TDy9nlOf4Wp9J3w5j6aShaDPbskH1c80imoctH7Rn5HW4lYeFn1zdavcOYUQlqBvLfkQmlpihKsbvjek43YhyUhDb4omDJaqI-qaw/s1600/happy+birthday.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgHG4q6eLj9TZQTJra2bL2bPUMLV7NZgF8DNZ-B7TDy9nlOf4Wp9J3w5j6aShaDPbskH1c80imoctH7Rn5HW4lYeFn1zdavcOYUQlqBvLfkQmlpihKsbvjek43YhyUhDb4omDJaqI-qaw/s400/happy+birthday.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A pretty simple design but its a party hat so you cant really go adding lots of embellishments as it would make it too heavy and really not enough room to do that. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My first attempt at no line colouring and have to say I am happy with the result. Loving my new purple copics I got the other week. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After a slow start from me this morning I better get my bum into gear. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">WE have a wonderful sponsor at <a href="http://magnoliadownunderchallenges.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">MDUC </a>this week pop over to the blog and check it out along with the other birthday projects on display. I look forward to seeing you entries. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thanks for stopping by today, until next time </span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; text-align: justify;">Hi everyone I hope this post finds you well.</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">When I put in my submission to join <a href="http://www.makeitcrafty.com/" target="_blank">Make it Crafty </a>I was nervous and one of the main reasons being was because I knew I had to write a tutorial! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">So today it is with lots of nerves that I bring you my very first tutorial. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Today I am sharing with you different techniques for faux stitching. I would like to clarify that I did not come up with the idea of “faux stitching” I am here just to show you how I do it. I personally don’t own a sewing machine so 99% of the time of use “faux stitching” , yes 99% as occasionally and very occasionally I might hand stitch. If you ever get a card with real stitching on it from you your know you are special!!!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">I know that some people use a roller that perforates the paper but I actually use a matt pack from Stampin Up! together with my paper piercer. You can also use a ruler and a foam mat or I am sure that there are many other companies out there that have a paper piercer guide/template. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Let’s begin shall we:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>Step 1.</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Place the paper cardstock on top of the matt. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrTVqKgBkL_l1kOMHtQPRCmA2SmeB_CFLXVnhShw3fhR1tBpu92K3cnF2OLEf2EAxbXIarNzyek4jXZA7WMq2WfvbeVv5qSKBOyOGpWc40ouHwX9q3bMqXHe0TdHJkydyzY2Rd6EykhXY/s1600/1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrTVqKgBkL_l1kOMHtQPRCmA2SmeB_CFLXVnhShw3fhR1tBpu92K3cnF2OLEf2EAxbXIarNzyek4jXZA7WMq2WfvbeVv5qSKBOyOGpWc40ouHwX9q3bMqXHe0TdHJkydyzY2Rd6EykhXY/s320/1.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></div>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><i> </i><b>or </b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3BJSxm45h4kuYf1Y4kJdbmtylec_yrxh7brtP3XQK2qNj806y_U2Mn9HfV3bUwdGBxm1DwOA5L1-YdjFIUvud6rU6Zu1ealTQMgr1JxhzzYpxZh2XnsVmc4CqeyclJ9_Ne9qeSb6G7cw/s1600/2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3BJSxm45h4kuYf1Y4kJdbmtylec_yrxh7brtP3XQK2qNj806y_U2Mn9HfV3bUwdGBxm1DwOA5L1-YdjFIUvud6rU6Zu1ealTQMgr1JxhzzYpxZh2XnsVmc4CqeyclJ9_Ne9qeSb6G7cw/s320/2.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b> </b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>Tip - </b>If you have a dark colour cardstock and your matt/foam pad is dark then use a bit of scrap paper behind it so that you can see the edge of your cardstock clearly. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>Step 2</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Now depending on which tool you are using either use the template/ruler as a guide and use your paper piercer and poke holes into the paper. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Once you have pierced all your holes, as desired, your cardstock should look like this:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn-PofaJ4wJ5xcY9ygLsJX2PMZkhm2M5kK0k0qaow41RBuVvcJIFwIDjmsB9AitaNEugIpjEhJaWvMHju0W6-34WlyWedFoY_DSL1vkXsbGkwdfk8RoMCWGlHfzSkoTP6RVoxtRxaRBXc/s1600/3.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn-PofaJ4wJ5xcY9ygLsJX2PMZkhm2M5kK0k0qaow41RBuVvcJIFwIDjmsB9AitaNEugIpjEhJaWvMHju0W6-34WlyWedFoY_DSL1vkXsbGkwdfk8RoMCWGlHfzSkoTP6RVoxtRxaRBXc/s320/3.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>Tip –</b> Make sure you hold that template or ruler down tight otherwise your cardstock will slip underneath and you will end up with a wonky line!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Sometimes I like to stop it here and not add any stitching. It really does depend on the look you are after.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>Step 3</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Using a gel pen, fine liner, sharpie whatever you prefer, draw lines connecting your holes together on your cardstock.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Here are some different methods of stitching you could try:</span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: -18.0pt;">
</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-indent: -18pt;">Straight Stitch</b><span style="text-indent: -18pt;">. Using the ruler over the holes rule a line through the holes. I personally feel this gives a too perfect line and not as realistic.</span></span></li>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">You can also choose to add some doodling to the edges as another sort of border.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Morning everyone I hope you are enjoying your weekend. Sorry I am a little late with my post, but late is better than nothing at all!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Our challenge at <a href="http://magnoliadownunderchallenges.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">Magnolia Down Under</a> for you this week is Pink & Lime....Well if you are like me it would scare you off! I did struggle with this challenge, my card for you today is my second attempt, but I have to say I am so glad I did not pike and tried again as I just love how the colours turned out together. I think my problem was in my first card was my papers so after changing them and the completely everything else with my card I came up with one that I really like. I know it is not often that I really like a card I make and I am sure if I look closely I will see lots of flaws but I am keeping my blinders on and ignoring that, LOL!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I suppose I better stop waffling along and actually who you my card!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I used acetate as my case and then the cheesecloth as my next layer. Then came the main layer with the pretty papers (that I have had in my stash for a very long time). You can see that it is also a shaker card. I think the thing that really sealed the deal for me was the gorgeous corner chippies from Make it Crafty, just added that extra element I was after without being over the top! I think this card will make a perfect birthday card for one of Lizzie's friends or even one of my friends.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Hi everyone this week at <a href="http://www.makeitcrafty.com/" target="_blank">Make it Craft</a>y the weekly inspiration is Anything but Square.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">I have to admit that I did struggle with this as I don't own any fancy die cut machines, just me and my cuttlebug, so I had to use my circle scallop dies to make the circle card. It is obviously not that big! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">I decided to use Aussie Santa as he is so cool and I have been wanting to play with him for ages. I just love the versatility of him and how I could make a good old Aussie bloke with his stubbie's and blue singlet.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"> I have made this card for hubby's best friend and as my Hubby thinks Aussie Santa is ace I thought it was only fair to use him. I was halfway through making my card when I remembered that there is also an additional colour challenge this week polka dots....adding polka dots just seemed wrong so decided to step the colour challenge out! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">I did however try out adding some clouds, not perfect but for my first time I am pretty happy with the result. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well I suppose with Valentine's day approaching it is only fitting that our challenge this week at <a href="http://magnoliadownunderchallenges.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">Magnolia down Under</a> is 'Love is all around us"..there are so many variations to this theme so I am excited to see the projects that will be entered this week. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEje099c5NKqwH-6nqtVFpFrXOxgQGSHx4fDQamH39SWV0Qm8VcvQgB6Na4qmlJXB67eBwWIIBQo3fC7bzCVA_Z5X0LxitZjwThimG0lgkWWHy-3ifgtVRXYKSHJClwSjub-fIDoqTp6xvg/s1600/love+is+all+around.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEje099c5NKqwH-6nqtVFpFrXOxgQGSHx4fDQamH39SWV0Qm8VcvQgB6Na4qmlJXB67eBwWIIBQo3fC7bzCVA_Z5X0LxitZjwThimG0lgkWWHy-3ifgtVRXYKSHJClwSjub-fIDoqTp6xvg/s400/love+is+all+around.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is one of my favourite Tilda's and probably one of the reasons I started uses Magnolia images again. For some silly reason though I never actually acquired her till last year and it has then taken me this long to ink her up...hangs head in shame! I love that Edwin is looking all love sick here obviously catching all her kisses! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">With such a large scene I had to go a bigger card base than normal and even then there was still not enough room to embellish it without taking away from the scene so I decided simple was best. Could also have something to do with the the fact that I am really struggling embellishing my cards lately. I try but I end up taking it all off as I always look back at it and think it looks like they have decided to vomit over my card!!! So I would love to know how you all get those beautiful embellishments on your cards....do you have a starting point and then keep adding around it? How do you know when there is just enough or in some cases not enough, as in the card looking unbalanced? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now I know I say this each week but you really must be sure to pop over to the main <a href="http://magnoliadownunderchallenges.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">Magnolia Down Under </a>blog and check out our inspiration for you. Each week my fellow teamies manage to amaze me with their gorgeous creations. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So that's it for from me today...Thank you for taking the time to stop by I really appreciate it.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Good morning all....I hope you are enjoying your weekend.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Its nearly the end of the holidays here and I have to say that I am sad. They seem to go so fast and never enough time to do everything you want to do. Oh well short term this term so I am sure before I know it the Term 1 break will be upon us. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So this week at <a href="http://magnoliadownunderchallenges.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">Magnolia Down Under Challenges</a> we want to see projects with wings...Well the list of possibilities are endless as I am sure you will see y looking at the variety of projects on display <a href="http://magnoliadownunderchallenges.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">MDUC </a>page. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I picked up these papers last week and I just love them and had to use them straight away. The colours are so rich they really appealed to me. So I was flicking through my Tilda's and was going for the obvious butterfly or Tilda with wings when I came across this one of Tilda holding Kookaburra (that I had yet to ink up) and though you beauty, Kookaburra's have wings (just this one has them closed).....</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I did not want to cover up all the gorgeous paper so I have gone for minimal embellishments but made them all based around butterfly's keeping in tune with the theme..I even tied the ribbon to make it look lie is was a butterfly in flight, not sure if you would have noticed that without me telling you lol!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I also went against my norm and did not head for the black or kraft cardstock and reached for some coloured Stampin Up Card that matched in perfectly. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So I hope you like what have made. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thanks for taking the time to stop by today and reading my post. Until next time.....</span></div>
