MDUC #87 Birthday Blog Hop

{{Please Scroll down for my Tickled Pink Stamps Hop card}}

This week marks our 2nd birthday at Magnolia Down Under!

And to celebrate we are having a fantastic blog hop with amazing prizes from four fabulous sponsors and individual candies up for grabs from the Design Team. I cant believe it has been two years!! I remember when Kell first came up with the idea and told Debbie and I about it, and asked if we wanted to be a part of the design team!! Of course we both said yes! And wow here we are now 2 years later!

So on with the hop! If you arrived from Kathrin's blog your on the right track..if not head over to Anne's blog to start.

For my card I have used this SUPER adorable Tilda holding the balloon!! And how perfect is she for our second birthday hop! I just adore her dont you?!

So for my candy....I have to admit I forgot about having a candy hehhe I am rather forgetful with all this full time working now LOL. So I have decided to have a $10 voucher from myt fav online store....can you guess the store??? Ok I will tell you Tickled Pink Stamps!!! So all you have to do is leave a comment on each of the DT's blogs.

Now hop on over to Kylies Blog!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAGNOLIA DOWN UNDER!

Mduc # 78

Good Sunday morning to you all!! I am probably sound asleep as this post goes live heheh Love my Sunday morning sleepins! So Im back today with the first MDUC challenge of 2011 challenge #78!! This week we have a fabulous sketch designed by our very Own Karen!

I hope you dont get sick of seeing these papers heheh Im just LOVING them and have used them on tons of cards still to come heheh. But when you love something you keep using it until it runs out yeh?? So anyway here is my card using the gorgeous sketch and my very fav Tim Holtz papers.

I water colour my images with distress inks. Its hard to see in this pic but I have glitered all around the distressed circle edge, a gorgeous friend of mine Em makes the most GORGEOUS cards and always has glittered edges so I just had to give it a try! Thank Em xo. Can you believe I have had this magnolia stamp for so long but never used it until this week!! Im so pleased to be back at MDUC so I can ink up all my maggies. I have entered this card into the challenge at Just Magnolia Anything goes!

Hello happy Sunday to you all! I have just been having the laziest Sunday making some cards. My daughter Madi has been making some christmas cards for her school friends so the two of us have been hanging out in our tracky's in my craft room.
So anyway I loved using my magnolia stamp the other day and back in the old days...LOL like um 2008 heheh I along with Kellie and Debbie were the first 3 DT running Magnolia Down Under challenges and I thought how fun would it be to go play along with their current challenge! My new years resolution is to use all my stamps that have not seen ink hahah and use some oldies that I miss like my maggies. So anyway you probably want to see my card...I have entered it into 4 challenges which I will list below the pic.

I used my distress inks to colour her, isnt she just the sweetest image ever! I sooo was out of my comfort zone with these vintage colours...I see myself as more of a shabby chic pastel gal LOL.My brown in the pic looks black but I promise you its brown lol.
The Challenges I have entered is-
Magnolia Down Under - Red, Brown & cream
Just Magnolia - Christmas card
Friday Sketches- Sketch
Simon Says stamp & show - Holiday Greeting
