Birthday card - Sassy Lil Sketch challenge

Here is another Birthday card, but this time I've followed the sketch from Sassy Lil Sketches ....

My magnolia Tilda, BG Makaresh paper, Tim Holtz stickles .... :)

More cards

Here are two more easel cards .... I've used a variety a techniques with them ....

I've coloured in using my Promarkers and have started using Sakura Strarburst Pens for the shiny details ...

Long time no show!

Well as it's been since March that I've shown you the additions to my collection ...

I thought I'd do that now.

Back in March I was at CD 20, and now I'm up to CD 34!

So here goes:

... hmmm aren't they gorgeous! LOL

I've also been inventive and trying to find a new way to keep my ProMarkers while I work ... the envelop storage units are great for storage, but not so convenient when I need to colour ....

but I think this will work for now ...

Calendar Easel Cards

I idea behind this was inspired by a challenge over at ScrapFit Forum ... my friend Katie from the US convinced me to join ... I like the idea so much that I made three of them yesterday and plan to make more!

Tildas are coloured in with ProMarkers, and I've used Unity stamps ...

Basic Grey papers ... those 6x6 paper pads are a lifesaver!

My Magnolia Calendar

I usually have a Calendar hanging on my wall, usually a freebie from a Stitch magazine .... but this year I didn't buy any magazines ... so decided to make a desktop one for me ....

And since my beloved Magnolias are just perfect for this ... I thought I'd get creative ...

so Here it goes ... I've bound it with my Bind-it-all ...

Have coloured all the images with my ProMarkers ...

Have used Nellie's frames to diecut Basic Grey Nook and Cranny as backgrounds ...

On the rear of each month I've added a to do list that I make at this place ...

Also added the month again as the holidays and saint days are marked ...

Just have photographed the rear of January to show you!

Cover: To celebrate the twins that we are expecting!

Christmas cards Galore

What a busy season this is!!!

I've been rushed to make Christmas cards, so these are just a few that I've managed to make!

The Santa's have been so much fun to do, and I'm planning on placing another order with Magnolia for new stamps ... so hopefully after the season I will have more to show you!!

So I'm taking this opportunity to wish you all a Merry Christmas

and a Happy New Year!!!

Card 54 - Nameday Card

This is a very special card for my niece Katerina ...

My nickname for her is Kitty ... so this image seems so fitting!

 

I just hope that she'll like it! 

Cards 52 & 53 - Happy Birthday

This time I've used the Magnolias on the interior!

 

I love this origami technique and it's a nice way to use up those busy pattern papers that I never know how to use on a layout ....

I've used Papermania flower/fairy series ... bazzil, unity stamps, magnolia stamps, shaker stickers, ribbons and lots of inking ....

Memories Trends July Challenge

This is my entry for the July Challenge for Memories Trend ... theme: sea waves!
Here are my nieces from last year, as they are enjoying the sea, diving in the waves, playing on the sand. Pattern paper is from Bella BLVD Swing in Spring collection, one of my Sarah's Cards kits ... Magnolia stamps, Quickutz dolphin diecut plus Dragonfly alphabet. The poem is printed on Nestibilities shape. I've used 3D foam squares to give more depth ... the 'waves' are Bazzil edges.

Some close-ups:

Card 48 - Merry Holidays

Is it too early to start on Christmas cards? :)
This is for the Week 4 challenge on Passion for Promarkers.
The colours for this week is:

Berry Red & Royal Blue

I love these two colours ... I don't know if they can be considered Christmas colours, but I love the way they work together. I've used my Spellbinder nestibilities and my Cuttlebug folders ...

Ody's Book

Here is the book I made for Ody's Christening pages .... Just love this baby Edwin stamp!

ProMarkers used again ...
