Cali Girl

*** Please enter my Candy - Click on the Picture in my Side Bar to go to the Post ***

G'Day Everyone

It's Karen here, and this Wednesday I have Cali Girl by Hannah Lynn to show you all!!  I'm sure you have seen her before and she is actually a newbie digi at the Crafts and Me Store, so why not grab her for yourself.  

I love colouring Hannah's images, they have such gorgeous hair!!! Anyway My Cali Girl has black hair this week, well not that it's that dark, I need a few more copic's to be able to do that... but anyway it's kinda blackish... LOL I have given her some gorgeous green eyes and a bit of a purple dress!! So here she is I hope you love her as much as me!!!


My paper I have used is by Prima and Graphic 45.  My Lace is also by Prima... I used a bunch of flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts and the seam binding is from there also.  I had a bronze metal trinket that I painted white and then stuck a pearl in the middle... it didn't look all that great being bronze on my card...


So there you go, I hope that you have been over to the store to get yourselves the new digi's for this month, they really are all so gorgeous...


Anyway that's it for me this week.... make sure you enter into the Challenge - it just could be you who is this week's winner!!!

Till next time

Happy Birthday to Us, Happy Birthday to Us...
Happy Birthday Dear Magnolia Down Under....
Happy Birthday to Us!!!

Yes, can you believe it after 3 years, Magnolia Down Under is still going strong, I feel so lucky to be part of this fabulous team, actually we are more of a family than a team... it's so wonderful having a group of ladies that we can chat and share everything with - and I do mean everything, a place to go to solve a problem or maybe just for some advice - there is always someone willing to listen!! That's why I think of it as a family - not a team... while we all share in our passion for Magnolia Stamps!!!

Anyway - have you visited the blog???? You might want to.... we've had a bit of a face lift... and it's so gorgeous!! Kylie has done the most amazing job with the Banner and new Badges... YES that's Right new badges... in fact check this one here out: 


Gorgeous huh?  Feel free to pinch it if you want and pop it into your sidebar - we can wait to see our new Badge in blog land!!

So the theme for this week's Magnolia Down Under Challenge is.... BIRTHDAY'S hehehehe How did you Guess? heheheh This week I have used super cute and Brand new (and I don't think I've seen it in blog land either by someone else??? maybe I'm first??? I doubt it!!) Beanstalk Tilda and the Beanstalk background!! I love these stamps - they so cried out to me, when I first saw them.... anyway here is my card, I hope you all love it just as much as me:-)


So what do you think? Sweet Huh?  So am I first? Let me know if you know someone who has used these 2 stamps together, I would love to see their creation:-)

So Make sure you do head on over to the "New" Magnolia Down Under Challenge Blog.  It really does look Gorgeous!!! and Please take some time to look at the gorgeous inspirational work the Design Team have for you this week:-) I can't wait to see all your gorgeous work....
