A Debalicious sketch to share

Welcome to another week at MDUC, and this challenge is a brilliant one, we have a sketch created by out very own Debbie P!! I loved this sketch and used it to finish a project I had been planning for quite a while, a box to keep my wedding tiara and jewellery in. Ta-Da! I was thrilled with how it came out. The box was one of those cardboard kraft ones I picked up in spotlight, I did think about painting it but I am going through such a kraft phase I thought it would be the perfect background. This Tilda and Edwin were actually stamped for me aaaaaages ago but the fabulous Kellie, I even coloured them up to go with these papers months and months ago and then thought I would save them and the paper until I have a brilliant idea for a card, then I decided they would look fabulous on the box, and then when I saw Deb's sketch I knew I had finally found my inspiration for my box top!! Don't you love it when a plan comes together!!
So... the paper, doilies and doohickey are all from Tickled Pink Stamps, where you can also choose from a huge selection of Magnolia stamps too! The flowers are from my stash and the crystals, ribbon and ric rak I picked up in spotlight... oh, and the rub on in the corner is from kaiser.
Anyways, bit of a waffle there about the box, sorry guys, I am off now to get my hair ready (I am typing this Saturday evening so I can schedule it) it's my hen's night tonight so I should go and attempt to pretty myself up, hahaha! I had my make up trial this morning to see how the make up would go over the day/night, then we were invited last minute to a 4th birthday party this morning, so I showed up looking particularly glamorous, lol, maybe I should have whacked the tiara in as well, just to complete the look!
Hmmm... 3 weeks until the big day, not really overly excited or nervous yet, I think I am more focused on getting everything organised, then I can really let myself go and totally freak out, bahahaha!! We are stuck on what song to play as we enter the reception, if anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it. I want to walk in to the new Pink song because it makes me laugh, but it really isn't a 'wedding' kind of song, I guess I just love the idea of a song celebrating all of us who are "wrong in all the right ways", it's so me :)

So... I thought I might also enter this little boxy into a couple of challenges...

Molly Mittens the adorable kitten

Welcome to day 2 of Tickled Pink's Molly Mittens previews. I absolutely LOVE this little kitty, she is just gorgeous!! I have coloured her up with my copics and used some old unloved fiskars papers I had in my stash (I love this dreamy shade of blue, I really don't know why I don't use these papers ore often) my MS doily and butterfly punches have also seen some love. I have also used lace and tassel ribbon from TPS and flowers from the stash. Oh yeah, it's an easel card. This actually ended up being my mothers birthday card, she loved it :) even I was pretty pleased with the way it came out.

Lil Haunts - Vampire Lilith

Welcome to the first of out Lil Haunts previews!! Tonight we willo be introducing Vampire Lilith, she is so fabulous and after you have seen the amazing creations the Pink Ladies have created for your viewing pleasure HERE.. you will just have to have her!

So... Mr Camera was not being my friend today (or, and this is much more likely, my photography skills are just rubbish, LOL!) so I took 2 photos, with and without flash, so you can see some of my glimmer misting and details. I have made a small flower using the DP and black paper but as it is so dark it did not photograph well at all. I not really happy with this card, the mojo is AWOL again and I have a bit of a cold so I don't feel i have done this gorgeous image justice, oh well. I might pull it all apart and try again when I get a chance :)

Happy Birthday TPS, let's get the party started!!

We are so excited to show you all of the amazing new ranges this month. We have a bit of everything for everyone! The Pink Ladies have been working very hard behind the scenes to create some masterpieces for you to be inspired.
Lets get this party started with our first release - "Tickled Pink Birthday" by the very talented Heather Rolin. The Tickled Pink Birthday set is a very versatile set of sentiments and accessory stamps which can be used by themselves as you can see below, but also with Tickled Pink Stamps fantastic Lil Lolita range. So, I have been struggling a bit recently with a lack of mojo (and time) and really was not sure what I was going to do when inspiration struck, I decided to uses these little babies and make little gift tags, you can write all your usual 'to' & 'from' stuff on the back, and then just as I was finishing them off I thought to myself 'hey, these would make fabby little tags for a gift bag too!' So I ended up with one of each, don't you just love that tassel, it just adds that little something extra on the bag, it is also from TPS.

Well, where do the months go, can you believe it is time for another sketch over at Tickled Pink Monthly Challenges!! Isn't this a fabulous sketch! I had so much fun playing with my Kraftin Kimmie Witchypoo, she is sooo funky. I have set her against a moon I cut from a CC designs background stamp, I had planned to use the whole background but it was just not working for me and the more I tried to make it work the worse it got.... can you see where I am going with this, LOL! So in the end I cut out the moon for her to fly over, and what is a with without her black cat and potion, the potion bottle is from perfect poison, also a Kraftin Kimmie. Papers and ribbon are from my stash and all stamps are from Tickled Pink Stamps.
Make sure you head on over to HERE... and check out the DT's fabulous samples and why not play along with us too, there is a great prize up for grabs!

Feathers and fur to tickle your fancy

Hello ladies, this week over at Magnolia Down Under we have a super fun challenge for you, feathers, fur or fins! You can interpret this and integrate these elements in sooo many ways. Because I do not have any animal Maggies (the lion would be perfect, or Tilda holding the cat, or bird, can you see where I am heading with this :D)or the new mermaid (fin-tastc as she is, and perfect for this challenge) I have used feathers to embellish my card.
This cutie stamp is Tilda with bridesmaid (but I think she looks more like a flower girl) which I got from TPS along with the doily, papers and charms. I'm sorry about the colours being washed out, the weather has been terrible and all my photos come out very pale *grump, grump*
I have inked and glittered all my edges and distressed the DP. There is a little glitter o the image and flowers too, but as usual you can't tell. When will someone make a glitter sensitive camera!!
Here is a close up of me feathery embellies...

Ok, that's it for me, I tried to keep it short and sweet... and I probably failed miserably. Head on over here for some more wonderful feathery and furry and finny inspirations!!

Tickled pink on the brink

This week Tickled Pink Stamps is sponsoring the Haunted Design House Challenge and the challenge couldn't be any more appropriate for the pink ladies, it's Pink on the Brink, something edgy with pink
So, I'm not sure if I managed the edgy bit but I have used pink :D I have used the gorgeous Kellita (I love playing with these digi babes, you can get a whole new look using just a head shot rather than the whole body, thanks for the inspiration Amy!) The sentiment is from a soon to be released set from TPS. You can't tell but I have glimmer misted everything black on this card (I am in love with this stuff!!) So... the doily, mesh ribbon, Doohickey die, charm, Kellita image and sentiment are all from Tickled Pink Stamps! I love my Doohickey, this lace shape is sooooo pretty, I have used it on several things already. The leaves are a sizix die from Stampin' up and the flower I made myself.

Check out the other pink ladies for some fabulous inspiration and join us in playing along at Haunted House this week!

Happy Birthday Karen!!!

Just wanted to wish my MDUC teamie Karen a very Happy Birthday!!!!
You crack me up all the time with your wicked sense of humour hun, I hope you are having a wonderful day (is this your first birthday as a mummy?) and what's a birthday message around here without some nudie men :) Enjoy!!

Tilda is Tickled Pink to get sketchy over at MDUC

Hello, hello, I am thrilled today to be bringing you the new sketch from Tickled Pink Stamps Monthly Challenges and this weeks challenge over at MDUC of an easel card.
Here is our fabulous sketch, so much fun to create something round: And here is my card using Tilda blowing bubbles and the castle window both from Magnolias Fairytale collection.

I have used crystal effects on Tilda's wings and bubbles. The flowers are from I am roses and the crystal sprays were a wonderful find in my local spotlight store. The image is coloured with copics and I have made a big bow out of mesh ribbon to hold the easel up. The papers are also Magnolia and were purchased, along with the stamps, from TPS.

Make sure you head on over to TPS Monthly Challenges and MDUC to see the fabulous DT work and leave the ladies some love :)

Bling it on!!

Well, today is the day, we are starting our limited release of the Lil Lolitas in digi NOW!!! Hop on over to HERE... to get yours now!

To celebrate the Pink Ladies have teamed up with the Lil Lolita Boutique to celebrate and launch a new challenge... Bling it!
I decided to go for, what I think Kellie once refered to as 'vintage bling' and used a flourish with a bling pearl flourish, available at Tickled Pink Stamps, and added a shiny charm, also from TPS, some gold stamped swirls around the edge of my paper and I used a gold gel pen on her purse and buttons all for that touch of metallic bling. So, there you have it, bling without a single crystal or speck of glitter in sight, and it was tough to not use those things because they totally scream bling to me, but I did not think they suited the lovely 30's Lylah, and pearls were more her thing (they are still really shiny so I hope they count, lol) The tassel ribbon and Magnolia papers are also from TPS
Check out all the other Pink Ladies blinging creation on the store blog HERE...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WAFFLES!!!

It’s our fabulous boss lady aka Kellie Winnell’s Birthday! We are having a the most fun surprise hop for her, and believe me when I say SURPRISE we have Such a great surprise up our sleeves for this amazingly talented kind hearted, generous boss/friend of ours.

The pink ladies, including international have joined forces with lil Lolita boutique for this fun birthday hop day!

The Gorgeous Debbie had an idea and approached Christine the designer of our gorgeous Lolitas, and on the sly asked if she would design a KELLITA! Then Debbie let Kristy in on the secret and asked if she would like to help, of course Princess said yes! So together Debbie & Kristy sent pictures and ideas of what Kellita should look like....... So lets begin the hop so you can see our fabulous Kellita Birthday cards and join us in wishing Kellie a very happy birthday!

If you didn’t arrive from Patricia's Blog then go back to the start at Debbies blog and hop along with us.


Now here is the card I made with the gorgeous Kellita. I straight away knew what papers I was gong to use and had her all coloured up to match, but then getting her on a card took weeks... I just had no idea what I was going to do, just that is had to be something a little bit special.
Here is the front...
...and here it is all opened up!

I have tried making these cards twice before, the first time was for my mums birthday but it was terrible and it got scrapped before I had really got anywhere with it. The second time I finished it but HATED it! This one I am actually really happy with, I guess that's because it's bright and colourful with flowers and bling and butterflies :) and it came together surprisingly quickly once I figured out what I was going to do!

I hope you like it too Kellie!!

Now of course what is a hop without prizes??? 2 lucky commenters will get the chance to win this SPECIAL EDITION KELLITA!!! All you have to do is comment on each card. The winners will be announced on Wednesday the 7th August on the Tickled Pink Blog.

Next stop on the hop is Maya!
