My daughter gets a......

On my favorite norwegian forum (good for me to practice my norwegian) the Scrapbook Express, there was a challenge with a sketch. And this is the lay-out I made.

I seriously made use of my Silhouette. I almost cut every piece out. The blue borders, the circles, the bracket, the comb and the siccors.

The sentiment is writen in a stamp, put on a large piece of cardstock.

Aren't these adorable? A little brad holds the siccors togheter. 

To emphasize the dots on the dotted swiss cardstock, I randomly coloured them white. 

And this little missy has the same haircut as my sweet girl. 

I would love to read your comment again!!

Treasure

Over at the Derwent-challengeblog you can feel the sommer! We want you to make a real summercard in the winter. So let the sunshine into you scrappingroom and make a bright summer-ly card! 

My mother has this beautiful stamp,Elisabeth Bell's Flowers for Sugar Nellie Stamps. 

I coloured her with my Derwent softcolour pencils. 

face: 170-190-620

shadow: 360-490

and 340-140-530

460-440-630

090-060-200

This little item I made by stamping "treasure" on a piece of cardstock and wrapping it in a folded strip of blue cardstock. 

To decorate the inside a little bit, I used a background stamp (the little dots), a flower and a flowerbrad.

And this is the back of the card, using my Martha Stewart punch on a piece of designpaper.

What do you think, do you feel the summer? 

If you're in the mood, just visit the Derwent-challengeblog, make a beautiful summercard and participate in the challenge. 

Book-card for my uncle and aunt

Hi you all, 

This time I want to show you a nice gift I made for my uncle and aunt. They had their 40-year-weddinganniversary. 

I saw this book-card for the first time on Tina's blog. And luckily she made a tutorial for us all. Thank you Tina!

This nice couple is a gift from Nel. Thanks to you too! They are adorable. I colored them of course with my Derwent coloursoft pencils.

face: 170-190-620

hair: 600-630

clothes: 580-590-340-330

roses: 100-130-480

air: 360

wall: 610 (by the way, I draw this one)

I made a pocket with a tag for some words to the happy couple. And some romantic candles to enjoy.

Here you can see that it is just like a book. A very precise job, but such a nice detail!

And of course the back of the book. 

This was a very nice item to make and not too difficult, thanks (again) to Tina's tutorial. 

My uncle and aunt were very pleased with their present. Let me know what you think, OK?! 

Love to hear from you!!

Santa is coming to town!

Yes, you see them everywhere. But they are so nice and so simple to make. The tealightcard. On the club of Janneke was in november a challenge to make such a card. She had a link within the challenge how to make a tealightcard.

This cute little bear is Milton with stocking from Wildrosestudio. I coloured him using these Derwent coloursoftpencils

bear: 560

nose: 570

ears: 170

stocking: 430 - 130

The sentiment on the label is a oldie from Magnolia, the Christmascollection. 

A very nice and simple gift. Please let me know what you think.

Happy Birthday, girlfriend!!

In november had my dear scrappingfriend Linda her birthday. Of course I had a present for her and made her this birthdaycard. 

She is very fond of vintage, so I tried to make her a vintagecard. I'm not so very good at this style, but I think it worked out quit allright. 

I used different flowers for decoration.

This Tilda was coloured with the following Derwent pencils:

skinn: 170-190-620

hair: 570-650

clothes: 120-480

flower: 050

shoes: 650

I made a label, distressed it and stamped a happy birthday-greeting on it. 

For the inside I cut out of the designpaper two triangles. 

On the backside I let the tag come back for my personal stamp.

My friend was very pleased with her vintagecard. And so was I!

Thanks for your visit and see you next time!!
