Thank you

Do you remember the blogcandy Janneke had on my birthday? I won!! And I made her this card with the beautiful Magnolia she gave away. 

I want to enter this card to the challenge on Just Magnolia. There was a sketch you had to follow. I rotated it.

I stamped the "Thank you" on a piece of cardstock and stamped a frame with my 7Gypsies Interchangeably Stamp around it. Under the sentiment is a nice white flowerribbon.

Needles to say I used my Derwent coloursoft pencils again.

This card is on its way to Janneke. To thank her for her blog candy and to tell her that I am very glad I won this one!

Thanks for your visit again!

Congrats! Again...

With the same paper as I used for the other Congrats!-card, which you can see ---> here <--- I made this one too. My friend has twins, so this one was for her other son, who too had his birthday.

For the sketch, I found one on Just Magnolia. Unfortunately I was too late to enter their challenge. But I thought it was a nice sketch, so I used it anyway.

I love to use bright colours and this paper made it possible. And I just love this little chap.

Because I used designpaper for the base of the card, there were lines on the inside.

 I decorated it just a little bit.

For the sentiment I brought out my Wizard again. I used the same little cuttlebug folder and embossed it on a diecut. Then I sanded the letters again and voilà, there it was: congrats!

Luckily I still have some designpaper left from Basic Greys "Colour me Silly". So I can make another card with this colourful paper.

Thanks again for your visit. Let me know what you think about this one, OK?!

HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY!!!

I am so happy! There is a smile on my face, that doesn't come off. 

Why? 

I have been asked to join the Design Team of the Derwent-blog. 

And of course I accepted. 

As you probably know I always use my Derwent coloursoft pencils to colour my stamps. And when the Derwent-blog was created in april I applied for a place in the DT. At that time there was no place left for me. But now, the very talented Bep, resigned and a position came free. 

And I got the job!! Isn't that great?!

Happy, happy, happy!!

Come on over to the Derwent-blog and join in on the fun, OK?!

The second easelcard....a little bit vintage?

And here is my second easelcard. It became a little bit vintage, don't you think?

Again designpaper from Marianne Design. As you can probably guess, I bought quit a lot of paperstacks of her. It's lovely paper!

The flowers had "real" leaves on this card. 

I think this bridesmaid is a little bit shy, don't you think?

I found this beautiful quote on Create with TLC. 

Entering this one too on the Stamp Man Challenge to make an easelcard.

Would love to hear what you think of this one!

Thanks for your visit, 

2 Easelcards!

Last weekend I started with 2 easelcards. It was a while ago, that I made such a card and I thought it would be fun again. The sketch is from the Scrap and Stempel club. Here is the first one.

I used designpaper from Marianne Design. I love it. The papers fit perfectly with each other.

There are various flowers on it, but I must point out the little orange ones made out of tulle. They are adorable. I got these from my new friend Guida (thanks!!). The swirl is from Marianne Design and I borrowed it from my mum. 

Isn't this flowergirl sweet?

The sentiment was on the blog of Sentimental Sundays a couple of weeks ago. It is a beautiful quote from Alexander Smith. I printed it out and used a nestibility to cut it. 

I would like to enter this card on: 

Alphabet Challenge blog: Q for Quotes

The Stamp Man Challengee: make an easelcard

I hope you enjoyed your visit again, know that I love having you over!!

Congrats!

With the colourful paper of Basic Grey (Color me Silly), I made this card for the son of my friend. He was turning 10. I wasn't sure he likes to go fishing, but I liked the stamp of this little fisherman, so I used it. 

I would want to participate in the following challenges:

Fussy & Fancy: for the sketch

Derwent: anything goes, but colour with Derwent pencils

Stampin' for the weekend: anything goes

It has become a very boyish card I think. No bows and girly stuff!

For the sentiment I brought out my Wizard. I used a little cuttlebug folder and embossed it on a piece of paper. Then I sanded the letters and voilà, there it was: congrats!

A quarter of the circle pops out of the big one a little bit.

I love the bold colours of this little man.

face: 170-190-620

hair: 600-630

his wardrobe and supplies: 050-130-440-080-340-250-640-670

For the inside I used the negative of the circle on the front and I made another "congrats!" 

(I loved it so much!)

What do you think? Let me know, OK?! 

Thanks!!

Remember this moment.....

And here is my second card, I made today. Entering in the following challenges:

Friday Sketchers: using Aud her sketch

Sentimental Sundays: Ribbon or Lace (and a sentiment)

For the sentiment you have to open the card, because it is on the inside!! 

For more details, visit me later, OK?!

Bye for now!
