Papertrey Ink goes YUMMY and SWEET!

Hi there!
Do you remember the song "Sweets for my sweet", it was a massive hit overhere in The Netherlands a couple of years ago.
And when I saw the challenge over at the A Passion for PTI blog, I just knew (after not wanting to use the "Happy Birthday" kinda stamps) I wanted to use this song. It suits the stamps I have just perfectly :)

So here you have it... my card inspired by "Sweets for my sweet"...

And a detailphoto so you can see the glitter on the cupcakes a bit better :) 

Thank you very much for coming over... have a cupcake or something else yummy to eat :)

See you later!

This card will play in the following challenges:
- A passion for PTI: Inspired by a song
- Lawn Fawn: Sketch

ABC Challenge: Unusual Fold

Hi there and welcome to another ABC Challenge, this time it's time for U for Unusual fold.
I wanted to make a card I never made before, so I've been googling a bit and came out overhere for the tutorial of my "Spring card".

And did I enjoy myself making this one, it's really easy to make one and I will probably make this one with my kids at school as well. They will sure like it!

Anyways, here's my card, made it a Christmas one and as we're sponsored by Whiff of Joy for this challenge, I pull out one of their stamps to use with it :)
I sooooooooo love these ones (hmmm... I keep saying this of all my stamps *lol*)

And a detailphoto...

Thank you very much for coming over.
Please join the DT at the ABC Challengeblog and leave them some love :)
Would love it if you are able to join us :)

BasicGrey Challenges: Mix & Match Magnolia butterfly card

Hi there!

Oh my... Blogger screwed things really up here last couple of days.
That way I wasn't able to put the photo with my sceduled post. And as I had to work last Friday and having a wedding in the evening I just wasn't able to put my post properly online.
But here I am with my DT project for BasicGrey Challenges and the theme is "Mix & Match".
This was a real challenge for me as I buy my papers by collection and find it hard to mix & match things.

But.... here's my entry.
I used papers from the "Bittersweet" and "Greet at Heart"-collections.

And a detailphoto of the glitter I used as well...

I just love this Tildastamp. I think it will be one amongst my fave ones.

Thank you very much for coming over.
Now... please go to the BasicGrey Challenges blog to see what the other DT-members have made and join us in this challenge :)

See you later!

Wags'nWhiskers Challenge: Circles

Please scroll down for the Our Creative Corner challenge. I'm the guestdesigner of this week *whoowhoo*



Hi there!

Welcome back to my blog.....
Oh my... Blogger gave me some headaches the last couple of days. I was able to see my blog, but, as many of you who also have Blogger, weren't able to leave any comments nor log in to our accounts.
That way I wasn't able to put the text and photos of my sceduled posts online.

So right now I'm restoring all my sceduled posts. Ah well... better late than never eh?!

So here I am... back with the Wags 'n Whiskers challenge of this fortnight: CIRCLES.
I made a circle card for a men. I totally love those stamps to use on those kinda cards.

Here's the card:

I made it with Sophia, and you can buy the stamp overhere.
Didn't put too much embellishments on the card, uh... none :) But I so like this text for men's cards *lol*

Anyways...thanks for coming over. Please join me and the other DT-members in this challenge. We'd love you to play along! Please visit the blog for more details :)


Oh...before I forget, please... also visit the blog for some nice candy. Oh yes! We got some nice stuff there for you!

Thanks for coming over and see you later!

DWYT Sketch #85

Hi there!

It's Thursday, 00:00 CET, so you know what that means on my blog ;)
It's time for another DWYT-sketch! *yahoo!*
When I first saw the sketch I was like: oh my... I totally don't like those lines higgledy-piggledy, so this sketch was more a guide for me this time. I used 5 different patterns, a large stamp and some ribbon and voila....

Here's my card:

Wanted to make another Christmascard as I'm in need of those right now.
Hope you will like it, if not.. I do *lol*

Thanks for coming over. For more inspiration from the other DT-members, please visit the DWYT-blog.

Right now it's time for me to say goodbye and see you later!

Whiff of Joy and Little Claire's Challenge cards

Hi there and welcome to another sunny Sunday!

Oh wow... the weather's been so lovely the past weeks, though I have to say I wish it would rain some days so all the trees, plants and flowers get some water from our mother, Mother Nature :)

Today I'd like to show you 2 cards I made for some challenges.

First of all I got a card made with a cute Whiff of Joy image. I so love their images, specially the ones designed by Elisabeth Bell :)
About 2 weeks ago I discovered an online craftshop in the city I live in and surprise, surprise, they also have a real craftshop, so was very surprised about that one, specially as they carry Whiff of Joy images *huuuuuuuuuge smile here!* And as that shop is situated almost besides a hospital I drive by every day from work...whoowhoo... well.. you know what I mean ;)
So I bought this stamp with another WoJ one, some papers and some more little stuff. Didn't buy that much as they, to be honest, don't carry the things I really, really enjoy to play with, but who knows what the future will bring :)
I came across the WoJ challengeblog today and wanted to play along. And as it was way too hot this afternoon to enjoy the sun at my balcony, I decided to play along.

So here you have my first card:

And a detailphoto where you can see the bling on the butterflies:

This card is playing in the following challenges:
- Whiff of Joy: Sketch
- Scrapdelight: Inspired by photo (I was inspired by the colors and with all the things on the picture you can make something, and I think that when you dream, you can do anything you want!)

And right now it's time to show you a card I made with a stamp I bought last September at a stamping and scrapbooking show in London, UK!!
Never ever heard of this company, Little Claire's, before, but wow... they have some lovely stamps out there and I bought several of them in London, but.... never used them till now that is! :)
Wanted to play along with their last challenge, but for some reason I just forgot, but now it's time to take part.
Made it a Christmascard as I don't wanna hurry the last months of this year making them.

So here you have my card:

And here some detailphotos where you can see the glitter I put on the snow I also put on the card:

And what's a roof without any snow when it snowed??!! So here you have it:

This card is playing in the following challenges:
- Little Claire's: Sketch
- Jingle Belles: Spirit of Christmas past
- Crafty Hazelnut: Inspired by photo (see their blog, I was inspired by the stocking which are at the chimney, and SantaClaus who brings the presents through the chimney)
- Winter Wonderland: Christmas colors

Thank you very much for coming over!

Enjoy your evening and see you later! :)

Spesch Stamps May release... you're gonna love these!

Hi there!

Over at Spesch Stamps, it's time for their monthly release and wow... what a release we got this time! :)
It's time for some fairytales.
There are 4 new images released and I made cards with 2 of them and here you have them.

I made a card with Ariel, the little mermaid :)
Actually I made this card after I made the other one, but used the same patterned papers as I really loved them and thought the dots were just perfect for the "sea"bubbles. That's why I also used that borderstamp and the dotted ribbon.
I also used the pearl glimmermist all over my card, so it got a lovely sparkle. Unfortunately my photography stills aren't that good to capture that :(

Anyways... here's the card, loads of sparkle on the flowers and Ariel:

And here we have Peter Pan... I just looooooooove this image for boy's cards! But this time I made a "congrats, you did it"-card for people who're going to graduate the coming month.
No sparkles overhere, but inked the edges.

Hoped you liked my cards :)

Now it's time to hop over to the Spesch Store and the Spesch Blog for more inspiration from the DT PLUS you can buy those images right away.... I just sooooooooooo love them!! :)

Thanks for coming over and see you later! :)
