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 Everyone, Just a quick post to share a little project I have been colouring up over the last few days. Just one for fun. :) I was trying something new with the background and after stamping ‘Tilda with Sling Shot’ I masked her and then used distress inks and foam pads to blot the background. I used a mixture of Peacock feathers and Scattered Straw – then to get the splotchy finish I did one spray of some glimmer mist spray in »

Hi Everyone, I can’t believe how fast the weeks are already zooming by. It’s February already! I can just feel that in a few weeks time I’ll be saying – I can’t believe it is Christmas again already! Oh oh… but wait there’s so much to happen before Christmas because just around the corner we have Valentine’s Day!! :) This week at Magnolia Down Under Challenges the gals are wanting you to share your LOVE »

Hello everyone! I made this card last week for the last MDUC challenge. The girls gave me the thumbs up for this weeks challenge and I just scraped through with my ‘metal’ zip! hehee Bonus!! :D I am a little bit proud of this card. You know how I have been doing the clean and simple – well I decided to go for an ‘Alyce’ style card with the muted brown colours and pretty flowers etc… oh and of course the ‘pearl’ »

Hi Everyone, Grab your favouite Christmas Maggie this week and join us at Magnoloia Down Under Challenges with our super easy and most appropriate – Christmas Theme – Challenge! I coloured Tilda with cross stitch heart using the no lines technique again…. :) And I shared the progress as I coloured on Facebook via Instagram. After I finished colouring her up, I made a nice simple card and pulled out the Christmas borders Chipboard »

Thank you everyone for your wonderful comments. You have been far too kind! I am just happy to know I have offered some inspiration! Now go try no lines colouring! haha! :) —————————————————— I called out to my DH – “Think of a number between 1 & 356″ and he called back “204!” So hopefully I have counted correctly »

Hi Everyone! This week it’s sketch time over at the MDUC blog. Perfect if you’re still working on your Christmas cards and need some inspiration to crank out those cards! I am TERRIBLE at following sketches BUT I thought I would see how SIMPLE (with my new CAS style… haha) I could make my card following the Sketch! Here’s a pic of the sketch – what do you think?? Did I do OK?? I must add that although not mentioned on »

Jingle Jangle, Jingle Jangle, Jingle all the way….. I can promise you, you are glad you didn’t actually hear me sing that! :D So just a quick simple post today to go along with my nice simple card. :) Little miss Jingle Jangle Tilda here was stamped with a lightly coloured ink pad. I coloured the background first so that I could practice adding a ‘glow’ to the edges of her clothing and hair. Once complete I trimmed, then sponged »

Hi Everyone, This week at Magnolia Down Under Challenges the theme is ‘All about Books‘! I have wanted to make one of these little corner bookmarks for a while and I thought it would be less stressful for me without too much to decorate! hehe It’s been ages since I have played with the no lines technique and so I thought I would see if I could still do it. :) It would appear I can but I am a little disappointed with her face. I do »

Hi Everyone, This week at Magnolia Down Under Challenges the challenge is to base your project on a Song! I originally started a project basing it on a Christmas Song but at the last minute I went completely off that idea and decided to colour up Tilda with her Kookaburra and the perfect song of course is “The Kookaburra Song”!! hehehe If you would like to find out more about the song you can view it here – You can also listen to »
