Some more yummy blog candy

Hi guys I have some awesome blog candy to share. Carlyann over at Sweet 'n' Crafty has put together three of my all time favourites DP, stickles and Magnolia stamps to celebrate her birthday on the 24th of July. Head over and check out her amazing Blog full of inspiration and her awesome Candy!!!

Holiday craft

I do it every holidays I need to squeeze in every single bit of craft that I can. I leave my work space set up and if I get a spare 5 minutes I go in and stick, paste or re-arrange. I then sit up later than normal and try and get more stuff done. I don't like to craft when the boys are here so we can spend time together. They are at my mum and dad's at the moment hence a day time post. So firstly I will share my scrapbooking, then my two finished quilt tops and finally two piles of material I have purchased for future projects that I will show you as I progress. I hope it won't take as long as my Christams pudding quilt, more of that later.
So here are my scrapbooking pages. It's funny I think they are finished then I will think of something else I need to add and out it comes again. I think I am happy with these pages now.

The next two images are of quilt tops that I have finally finished. The first is a dresden plate I finally put the prarie point border on and now I am going to have it professionally quilted as it is too big for me on my sewing machine. I am so happy with it, can't wait to get it quilted.

Here is a close up of one of the blocks.

The next is kit I bought before my first son was born (he was 8 last week) I didn't start it until last year because I wanted to finish other projects I had started. It is a Christmas wall hanging of different plum puddings and I finally finished the blanket stitch last night now all I have to do is quilt it and yes it is finished before Christmas.

Here is a close up of one of the blocks.

Sorry it's such a long post and finally here are the two piles of fabrics for my future pojects.

Birthday Tilda

Well good morning it is so cold and windy here. I mean't to do this post last night but like every holiday I have to squeeze every single item of craft into my two weeks off. Last night I had to finish knitting my sons new beanie. He has officially jumped off the Geelong bandwagon and now follows the Bombers and after our first loss this season to them it made even harder LOL. Anyway here is a card that I have made for one of the many birthdays that are celebrated in July. I am entering this card in two challenges the first is TOMIC an easel card and at Simply Magnolia anything goes. I made this card for my friends birthday and I must admit I nearlly gave up but I am so glad I kept going. Here is Birthday Tilda on a cake easel card.

This is the card closed and here is the inside.

I am so pleased with the results it took a while to find candles that fit the holes so when I did find them I bought up. Here is the card with the candles.

Finally here is a close up of Tilda I have coloured her with Copics using the following colours.

Dress- R83 and R85
Shoes- E15 and E33
Cake- V12, V15, E31 and E33
Hair- E25, E27 and E 37
Skin- E00, E50 and E 20

The paper was pink cardstock and the cupcake paper is from Kaiser craft. I have also been scrapbooking and will post some images later. I also want to share my Dresden plate quilt that I have finally finished and I am going to have it professionally quilted as it is too big for me to do on my machine. Not bad and its only the second day of the holidays!

Darn I missed it

Well here is the card I made for the Copic challenge that was happening at the Brisbane Convention Centre this weekend. Guess who forgot about it and missed the postal deadline :-( Anyway I have put it up on the La La Land Crafts Blog gallery instead.

Tilda with ladybug

Well I have certainly been MIA I haven't made a post in a very loooong time. I was meaning to get in the craft room but life seemed to get in the way. Anyway I am pretty excited with this card. I used Copics to colour but I took my book code to work to try and get this blog post done at lunch but I left it there, anyway here is the card

Here is a close up. I have coloured the flowers so that the colours are exactly the same as the ones on the fence

Can you see the ladybug

I am entering this card into the following challenges MDUC a sketch

Mad for Markers Challenge

Well I was very excited to met Sammi and the team at the Melbourne Paperfic show. I even purchased one of her cards to help me with my inspiration. I had a fantastic time there with my friend Alethea and we made many make and takes. I love going to these shows as it really gets me excited about cards and scrapbooking. I am entering the following card in the Mad for Markers challenge this month which was to use YR, RV and BG Copic markers. Well I decided to use all three with one of my brand new Tildas and I am so excited with how this card has turned out.

and here is a close up

I have used the following Copic markers

Dress-BG 11 & 13
Wings- RV 11, 13 & 14
Hair- YR 21, 23 & 24
Skin- E000 & 20, R20
Butterfly- RV 11 & 13, YR24

The sentiment is from SU and I love how well the Kaiser Papers go with my colouring. They are 'Fruity Galaxy' (Butterfly Paper) from the Bubblegum Hills Collection, 'Sugar Syrup' from the Pina Colada Collection and 'Wing It' from the Hey Birdie Collection.
