I first fell in love with Magnolias in the beginning of 2010 which led me on a crazy path to learn to colour! Much of my inspiration came from the talented Magnolia team who I continue to admire today. I am so excited to join them and inspire you to love Maggies as much as I do.

Hi Maggie Lovers, I hadn’t realised I hadn’t shared this card I made here on my Magnolia blog!! Better late than never I say!!  I coloured up ‘Something for you Tilda‘ using my no lines technique. I am hoping to create a tutorial soon so keep your eyes peeled over the next few months. I’ll give you more details later!! wink wink!  I timed myself as to how long she took to colour and am ashamed to say over THREE hours!! »

Hi Everyone, It’s that time again where my group shares our creations on The Official Magnolia Inspriation Challenge Blog! This week we are playing with the Magnolia Animal stamps and also asking you to incorporate Magnolia Designer paper in your creations. I admit I don’t have very many animal stamps sand don’t really think to use the ones I have that often, so it was a good opportunity to pull out what I do have an think up a scene! »

Hi Maggie Lovers! So my new ‘thang’ is trying to get better at drawing grass. I created this one a while ago for a friend and now that she has it, I can share here. :) I only recently got my hands on Tilda with Hawaii Flower and couldn’t wait to colour her up! She is certainly a very pretty Tilda. :) A couple of things I am learning and this one isn’t a great example really: Start building up the grass where the shadows will be. Leave the »

Hi Maggie Lovers, Well as you may know I am definitely one to love creating a scene and so the challenge of Masking Stamps at TOMIC this week is right up my alley! I decided to go hybrid and so I have masked my traditional rubber stamps with digital stamps. :) Also just to make things extra challenging I decided to take my new obsession of ‘no black lines’ to the extreme and colour a WHOLE scene. Crazy is definitely the way to describe »
