Lil Lolita Boutique Challenge #15

Welcome to this weeks Lil Lolita Boutique Challenge. Your challenge this week is to use "BUTTONS". How simple is that?

For this weeks card, I used the stunning Kelita from Tickled Pink Stamps. You've asked for it and now for a short time, all the gorgeous girls in the Lil Lolita Line are available in digi form. If you missed out on the first digital release, be sure not to miss out this time.

I coloured Kelita with copic markers and added on of my handmade flowers for a cute embellishment. I have made a couple of these now and a few different colour and fabrics. If anyone is interested in purchasing these, please shoot me an email and I will get straight back to you. I'll be selling them for $3 each plus p/h.


Be sure to head on over to the LLB and check out the gorgeous creations from our incredibly talented team.

Have a great day, hugs xo Jackie

Satin Flower Brooches

Ok.. Here is what I've been playing around with lately. What do you think? I sat up last night and made the backing papers for them. I'm hoping to find a market or perhaps get into an Etsy store to sell them.

These brooches are all handmade from satin and glass pearls. I also have some made from georgette. The pearls are stitched into place, so they are very secure.

I'm hoping you lovely ladies will give me some feedback and perhaps some suggestions. I've never done anything like this before and need all the help I can get. I have many more made in other vintage colours and have also made some into hair clips and cute little rings. I will get some pics of those to show you soon.

If anyone is interested in purchasing some, please feel free to contact me at jmgwthomas@exemail.com.au and I will be more than happy to help you out.


EDIT
I've had some requests for prices. The brooches will be $10 this includes postage Australia wide. The rings (which are adjustable) will be $8 this also includes postage Australia wide. If you are after a certain colour, please ask. If you are interested, please send an email with all your details and I will be able to send you a Paypal invoice.

Thanks for your visit. Hugs xo Jackie

For My Little Man

I just wanted to share with you a card I made for my gorgeous Son Matthew. He recently got his yellow belt in Taekwon Do. We are all so proud of him. He's such a sweetie. When ever I'm in my craft room, he comes in and always gives me encouragement and tells me that my cards are beautiful (even if they're ghastly) and when I pick him up from school, he asks " How was your day today Mum? Did you make any cards?" So when we walked through the door yesterday, I presented him with this one and I tell you, the smile that it bought to his face was priceless. I got the biggest kiss and cuddle from him. I loved it. I know it's a very plain and basic card, but Matt loves it.

Have a great day, hugs xo Jackie

Lil Lolita Boutique Challenge #11

Wow, where has this last week gone? Thursdays come around so darn quickly.

This weeks challenge theme at the Lil Lolita Boutique is "A rose for a rose".. So it's time to break out your flowers. I decided to use this gorgeous 2 step stamp from SU for my focal flower. The dp is also from SU. This is one of my favourites too. I really enjoyed inking up my stamps again. I have neglected them since I feel madly in love with my copic markers.

I've used the gorgeous 30's Lylah for this weeks challenge. If you want to purchase her or any of her beautiful sisters, head on over to Tickled Pink Stamps. Remember, Kellie does ship overseas, but STAMPS ONLY.

We are all looking forward to seeing your amazing entries in this weeks challenge.

PS...Scroll down to see my first post of the day. This was for our gorgeous Boss Lady, Kellie Winnell. It is her Birthday!! We had a very special blog hop for her today. Be sure to check out the hop and to leave a comment on each card to be in the running for a very "special" prize indeed.

Happy Birthday Kellie

Today is our fabulous "Boss Lady" AKA Kellie Winnell's Birthday. We are holding a fun "suprise" blog hop for her and when I say suprise I really mean SUPRISE!!

The Pink Ladies, including international girls, have joined forces with the Lil Lolita Boutique for this fun Birthday hop.

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 Kristy said YES! So together Debbie and Kristy sent pictures and ideas of what Kellita would look like.

So lets continue the hop so you can see our fabulous Kellita Birthday cards and join us in wishing Kellie a very Happy Birthday.

If you have arrived here from Eulanda's blog, then you are on the right track.

Be sure to leave comments all along the way, as 2 lucky commenters will get the chance to win this SPECIAL EDITION KELLITA!!! All you have to do is comment on every card. The winner will be announced on Wednesday 11th August on the Tickled Pink Blog.

Your next stop on the hop is Princess Kristy's.

Have a great day, hugs xo Jackie

Bizzy Bec's Monthly Challenge card #2

Here is another card I have made for Bizzy Bec's August Challenge, which will start in a day or so. I used the gorgeous 20's Evie (from Tickled Pink Stamps). The tag, swirls and leaves are my new Magnolia DooHickey Dies, I just love them. These and the flowers, pearls and copic markers I used to colour the image, are all available from Bizzy Bec's. The ribbon and cardstock are from my stash.

Thanks for popping by. I'm going to make myself a cuppa and jump into bed with my beautiful son and watch Ice Age with him. The girls are studying and Geoff's watching some silly "guy" DVD. It's freezing in Canberra tonight, so a nice warm comfy bed sounds pretty good to me.

Hugs xo Jackie
