It's Australia Day in the Land Down under and what better way to celebrate than bring you some NEW Australian themed Digi Stamps and offer you some inspiration with a quick blog hop!!

What is Australia Day? Well in short, it's the day that the first fleet of convicts arrived in Sydney Australia (yup we are a bunch of convicts!! haha) but today we celebrate what's great about Australia with our family and friends and it usually involves a few snags on the barbie (BBQ)!

So let's celebrate amongst friends from around the world and share some crafting inspiration with an Aussie Outback theme!

If you're already on the hop then you should have arrived from my good mate Maria :)

 otherwise if you want to hop from the start head on over to say G'Day to AJ.

Ok on to my creation and to make story short. I left my original coloured image in my vehicle and guess what!!?? I forgot to bring it down last night.Since it was my first go, my orginal Gumnut Flower Girl took me many many lovely hours.Now this one was done like in 3 or 4hrs maybe less. If you click here you could see my original Gumnut flower girl in the MiC store.

I have coloured  with copics and this time I really did try but I couldn't keep up with the copic recipe :( It was just too many.If you ask me though I'm more than likely to know it because their my usual color combos anyways.The only thing I wouldn't be able to help you is the sky.

Now for that I was reaching for whatever came to mind when I was thinking of the Magnetic storm we got and the Aurora's that were created.You could say that's were I got my inspiration lol! I  know I know it didn't happen in Australia but just pretend :)

I did colour on Make It Crafty blending paper. My ultimate favorite because it tolerates my abuse lol! :)

see the difference from taking a picture at night versus during daylight lol!

her legs keep coming out too white. There is more colour that what it appears.

Sorry for the amount of pictures :( I just have a bad camera and  really really want a new one SIGH...

Now I guess you're looking for the next mate to hop on over to??

Well before you do... Make sure you comment below for your chance to win an Australian Souvenir. Each of us will be selecting someone from our comments to receive a little Aussie Souvenir from Zoe!

PLUS Zoe is offering 20% OFF store wide at Makeitcrafty.com until the 28th January! Hurry on over (when you get through the hop of course!) to grab some bargains!!

OK OK... It's time to head on over to see my mate and boss lady Zee :)

                                        CHANT WITH ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for celebrating with us!!  Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Oi Oi Oi!!!

For sure you'll see me post very often ok I promise :)

OK well for today I have a new card to share for the new challenge over, Little Darlings.

The challenge is "favorite color combo"I am a big fan of bright colors. Might be because I don't know how to colour soft like with pastels...OH NO  NO NO NO... THAT'S A CHALLENGE FOR ME ON IT'S OWN! 

I used two of my TOP TOP fave colors of all time.

Turqouise and fushia pink.

These fun colours always melt me :)

Hope to see you there :)

Feeling the winter BLUES....

HIYA!! I'm back and WELCOME to 2012 and all to my first 2012 posting :)

I have been busy with my guest these past days.My family left my house on New Years Day at 5:30am!!!!! YES IN THE MORNING LOL!!!

some of the kids were wide eye still! It must of been from all the "soda" going around.

No that's not all....they we're here back in a few hours time lol! I woke up LATE hmmmm @12 noon so they we're here an hour later to eat,drink and play again.They just left a while ago, lol!!!!

That's to show you I'm a good cook huh lol!!??? BAAAAAHAAA!!!( my FIL cooked lol )

Well anywhoo It's time for another Challenge at Magnolia-licious-highlities.This time around is as easiest as can be,"ANYTHING GOES" with the option of Lace.

So maybe unlike me you could start those SWEET VALENTINE CARDS considering you could add fancy yummy lace :)

or if your stuck like me LOL! You could still do winter theme :)

Well I created a small scene and added some of those Spruce Trees I've been stuck on ((big smiles))

I used #614 Mini Welcome to a sweet Christmas ,#3098 Mini Tilda hiding gift and #568 Magnolia Winter Forest

and you could find these stamps at Magnolia-licious store. I need to inform you, Diana has really really good deals.Be in the look out for those mini duos specials she usually puts up! They usually fly like hot pancakes.

Now my Winter Forest has been cut apart  to spread them out through the scene.I did my usual spruce technique and yes topped off with my favorite toy lately lol!"snow marker" from Marvy.

here you could catch a close up of the spruce and puffy snow.

sorry for a load of pixs but getting zoomed in was hard. It might be because of the bright blue.This card is full of blue jean glitter from doodlebug by the way. You might catch this one at the CHA show with Mini Magnolia.

OK peeps I'm done with winter and I'm stuck with @10 coloured winter images which we're planned on being used for another of my paper Christmas trees but I'm winter/Christmas DONE LOL! Although I hate not to use these images because they are so so so cute and I have coloured them in DI.

Since I frequently colour with copics and then jump to DI.You get stuck with that mind set that you could flicker like if you we're using copics.Well that's what I've done on these...they took longer time to accomplish small pleats and what not but the outcome is really really nice.At least that's what I think LOL!

So should I do more winter cards???or finish the tree??? what to do what to do....Oh the tree was planned to be about 6" to 8" tall and the Magnolias are the regular size this time.I'll let ya vote for me.The Tree is half way done but I ran out of the design paper so I stopped but I'm sure I could find more of the same.

 PLEASE ADVISE YES OR NO TO WINTER CARDS LOL!!!!!

OOPS Almost forgot to tell you.... come back as I have a tute on the works for my Spruce technique that I've been doing a lot lately. 

THANKS FOR STOPPING BY AND MAKE SURE TO COME AND PLAY WITH US AT Magnolia-licious Highlities also!!

See-ya next time peace :)
