CCWS Sketch #41

Hi there and welcome to another Christmas Challenges {with sketches}.

This time it was my turn to make the sketch and you can find it on the CCWS-blog.
But not only you have to use the sketch, we also have a little twist for you and that's to use at least 2 images and mask them together.

We're sponsored by Elphine House Australia and this is what I made:

Used this paper a lot and still have some left :)
Just love  the Christmascolors a lot.

Anyways.... Thanks so much for coming over and hope to see you again later on.
Please check out the CCWS-blog for more information on this challenge, the sketch and the projects the other team-members have made. Thanks!

See you around later on.

ABC and Basic Grey Challenges

Hi there and welcome to another Saturday!

It's been a while using a Magnolia stamp, but here's another card created with a stamp with one of my fave stampcompanies :)

Today it's time for new challenges at the ABC Challengeblog and the BasicGrey Challengeblog, so I combined them.

On the ABC Challengeblog we have a challenge, created by me... W for Wishes.
And on the Basic Grey challengeblog we like to see you using your punches... Punch it!

Here's the card I created:


A detailshot where you can see all the sparkles, the sentiment is just perfect :)

And the card:

I used the BasicGrey Lemonade 6x6 paperpad... love the combination of colors!


Thanks so much for coming over and hope to see you around later on.
Go check out the ABC Challengeblog and the BasicGrey Challengeblog for the creations the DT made, so you get some inspiration to join us all :)

Christmas Challenges {with sketches} #39

Hi there and welcome back to another Christmas Challenges {with sketches}.

This time the sketch is made by Nicolet, a great one and will be using this one a lot more! We're sponsored by Crealies.
So here's my card, made with a pre-colored image as I have loads of these patterned papers left it's easy to color stamped images one evening and don't have to bother about the coloring and papers used.

Thanks so much for coming over.
Please visit the CCWS-blog for Nicolet's sketch and more inspiration from the DT. Thank you!

See you later on!

Christmas Challenges {with sketches} #37

Hi there again and welcome to another Christmas Challenges {with sketches}.

This week it's Team 1, the Snow Angels, turn.
The sketch is made by Sandra and we're sponsored by Inky Impressions.

And this is the card I made... colored this Magnolia image quite a while ago, but have so many of these patterned papers overhere, it's just stamping images and coloring them with the same colors every time :)

About me... I'm feeling a lot better, luckily my energy is coming back day by day, still having some headaches, but they're ok to deal with, so you will see more creations overhere as I've been crafty as well :)

Email still isn't working, so please be patient with me if you're waiting for a reply... Thank you!

Now back to the challenge... please visit the CCWS blog for more information about the sketch and to see what the other DT-members made. Thanks!

Christmas Challenges {with sketches} #33

Hi there and welcome to another Christmas Challenges {with Sketches} and this week it's the Snow Angel's turn to post their cards.

This week Miranda made the sketch.

I turned the sketch and put the sentiment on another place, added some ribbon, a punched border and some embellies and this is the result I got...

It always is such a difficult job to pick a stamp for these challenges as I adore all my Christmasstamps so very, very much. I just love them all and Christmaspapers.... oh... don't start about that one *lol*

Every year I tell myself I have way too many Christmaspapers left from the year before and before and before, but every year I catch myself buying some new lovely papers. It doesn't help red and green being my fave colors, eh?! Ah well...

The sponsor this week is HeinDesign.

Thanks very much for coming over. Please check out the projects the other DT-members have made on the Christmas Challenges {with Sketches} blog.


See you later!

Wags'nWhiskers Challenge: 1, 2, 3

Hi there and welcome to another Wags'nWhiskers Challenge :)
Hi en welkom bij een nieuwe Wags'nWhiskers Challenge :)

This challenge we'd like to see 1, 2, and 3 items on your card: 1 image, 2 ribbons and 3 designer papers.
I used one of my most used Wags'nWhiskers Images Hannah. Used her on so many cards/projects already and can't get enough of her.
Ditmaal willen we 1, 2, 3 items op je kaart zien: 1 afdrukje, 2 lintjes en 3 designer papiertjes.
Ik heb één van m'n meest gebruikte Wags'nWhiskers stempels weer eens gebruikt: Hannah. Ik heb haar al zoveel afgedrukt (klinkt niet echt lekker...hahah) voor kaarten en projecten, maar kan niet genoeg van dit schattige stempeltje krijgen.

For the designer papers, I used my all time fav manufacturer Basic Grey. I really must stop buying those papers... got so many left :) But nowadays I almost only buy the paperpads to make cards with.
I didn't use any sentiment or much embellishments on the card, so I can use it for all kind of occasions.
Voor het designerpapier heb ik weer eens gebruik gemaakt van mijn aloude favoriete papiermerk Basic Grey. Ik moet echt stoppen met het kopen van die papiertjes... heb er nog zoveel :) Maar tegenwoordig koop ik eigenlijk alleen nog maar hun paperpads om kaarten mee te maken.
Ik heb geen tekst op het kaartje gebruikt, evenals zeer weinig embellishments, zodat ik dit kaartje voor diverse gelegenheden kan gebruiken.

Anyways... here's my project for this challenge:
Anyways... hier is mijn project voor deze challenge:

Don't you just loooooooooooooove all those Magnolia fairies?? I sure do, but when I came across some of my fave challengeblogs, I knew I just had to use this stamp. Think I bought it from someone, but am not sure anymore, it's one of those "never used" stamps overhere ;)

BG Challenges: Easter 2012 featuring Magnolia

Hi there and happy Saturday to you all!

It was Spring last week, but the last couple of days it's grey and cold! But hopefully this Magnolia Eastercard will bring some warmth and sunshine :)

Today it's time for another BasicGrey Challenge and the theme is "Easter".
Made it with a BasicGrey Picadilly 6x6 paperpad. Love the colors of it!
I couldn't resist using a Magnolia on the card. Love them a lot, but for some reason the Easterstamps aren't among my faves. But well... I like this one, reminds me of my childhood.. painting eggs, hide them and search for them in the livingroom.

But you're here for the card, so here it is...

Special Digi image from Sylvia Zet

Hi there!

I've been a great admirer of Sylvia Zet since being in the DT of Spesch Stamps (you really should visit the store and blog!!). Spesch Stamps was the first (as far as I know) shop putting Sylvia's designs in the spotlight.
She's got the talent of making stamps look cute, but realistic.
I'm part of a Dutch cardmaking-group called "Kaarten maken with Tiets" and they asked Sylvia to make a special image *whoowhoo!!*
This image will not be avaliable at this moment, but a bit later, so you'll just have to wait till that time *sorry!*
Ik ben een bewonderaar van Sylvia Zet sinds dat ik in het DT van Spesch Stamps zat (je moet zeker de winkel en het blog even bezoeken!!). Spesch Stamps was de eerste (zover ik weet) winkel die Sylvia's designs in de spotlight zette.
Sylvia heeft een talent om stempels schattig, maar realistisch te laten lijken.
Ik ben lid van de groep "Kaarten maken met Tiets" en zij hebben Sylvia gevraagd om een speciale digi te maken *whoowhoo!!*
Dit plaatje is niet beschikbaar op het moment, maar een beetje later, dus nog heel even geduld als je hem ook wilt hebben *sorry!*

The deadline for this image is 16th March, so I'm still in time showing you the card made with the adorable "Amy".
And here it is...
De deadline voor het project is 16 maart, dus ik ben nog op tijd om jullie mijn kaart te laten zien met de schattige "Amy".
En hier is m'n kaartje...

And a detailphoto...

Thank you so much for coming over. Hope to see you around later this week :)
Bedankt voor het langskomen. Ik hoop je weer later deze week te mogen begroeten :)
