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...

Thanks so much for coming over! Hope to see you again soon :)
Please visit the BasicGrey Challengesblog for more inspiration... wow... the DT have outdone themselfs... beautifull creations!!

CAS: Happy birthday PTI

Hi there and happy Wednesday!

Oh wow... I just looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooove this PTI stampset of the leaves a lot!!

Already made some Christmascards with it as well :) Received it about 2 weeks ago, but just can't stop playing with it!

Even though you have to line-up the images, they are so easy to work with and the people I've shown them to, really love them and think they are store-bought cards (oh... I really like that, but also don't as some people don't believe me I've stamped them...hmmm... ah well...hehe).

Here's a birthdaycard I made with one of my fave sentimentstamps and (one of my) fave (non-Christmassy) stampsets:

Thanks so much for coming over every time! :) Luv ya!!

Magnolia Christmas Tilda card

Hi there and happy Sunday!

Today I like to show you a Christmas card I made with one of my Magnolia Christmas Tilda's. Just love this image and think she's sooooooooo sweet :)
Even though the temperature is getting higher every day, I still make Christmascards and will do this every year. It keeps the stress away ;)

Hi en happy zondag!
Vandaag wil ik een kerstkaartje laten zien die ik met één van m'n Magnolia kerstTilda's heb gemaakt. Vind deze stempel geweldig :)
Hoewel de temperatuur met de dag stijgt, blijf ik vrolijk werken aan de kerstkaarten en zal dit blijven doen. Het houdt de stress weg aan het eind van het jaar ;)

CAS on Tuesday

Hi there!

Here's another CAS card from me. I felt soooooooooo lucky when I received these stamps and couldn't wait playing with it last weekend after receiving them Friday.
Unfortunately the occasion why I made this card isn't a good one. Wanted to let a person know I'm feeling sorry for her and her family/friends, but hope her light will shine along her family and friends. Just tragedy all over.

Anyways... here's the card...

Thanks for coming over and hope to see you later! :)

Challenges:
- CAS-ual Fridays: It's easy as 1,2,3

Christmas in March: a lift challenge

Hi there on this Sunday in March.

Only a couple of days and Spring is officially here, can't wait for some higher temperatures.
But as the title says.... Christmas in March.

I made 2 new Christmascards for this year's stash. Very easy to make, but such a great effect!
Think I will make these more and give them to people as a birthdaypresent so they can send them.

Hi en welkom op deze zondag in maart.
Nog een paar dagen en de lente is officieel gestart, ik kan niet wachten tot we weer wat hogere temperaturen krijgen. Want wat was het heerlijk afgelopen donderdag!
Maar zoals de titel zegt... Kerst in Maart.
Ik heb 2 nieuwe kerstkaarten gemaakt voor m'n kerstkaartenbak. Makkelijk te maken, maar een geweldig effect (if I may say so *lol*)!
Ik denk dat ik er meer van deze ga maken en aan mensen geef als verjaardagscadeautje, zodat zij de kaarten kunnen versturen.

Anyways... here's the first card:
Maar goed... hier is de eerste kaart:

And both cards:
En beide kaarten:

Thanks for coming over and hope to see you again!
Got some more posts planned for this week :)
Bedankt voor het langskomen en graag tot een volgende keer!
Ik heb nog meer posts gepland staan voor deze week :)

Basic Grey challenges: Mother's Day/Girlie

Good morning!

Thanks for visiting my blog. It's Saturday and it's been 2 weeks since the last Basic Grey challenge, so it's time for a new one and it's called "Mother's Day/Girlie".
I choose for the Girlie theme, but the image is also ok for a Mother's Day card ;)

Ohhhhhhhh... I bought this stamp in London last year and never inked it up, so it was time to do so and here's the result :)

I used the "Hello Luscious" 6x6 BasicGrey paperpad, perfect for girlie cards :)

Thanks for visiting me, hope to see you again later.
Please go to the BasicGrey challengesblog to see the creations the other DT-members made AND to participate yourself ;)


Challenges:
- Simon Says Stamps: Bit o'Green
- Papertake Weekly: One for the girls/or mums
- SweetStamps: Think Spring

WnW challenge: Go Green

Hi there and welcome to another Wags'nWhiskers challenge!
This time the theme is "The luck of the Irish", we like to see green on your card.
I made it a really CAS-card, not too many layers, not too many embellishments. Just a stamped image, cardstock and a piece of ribbon.

And when you put that all together, you get this as a result:

Thanks so much for coming over.

Please go to the Wags'nWhiskers blog as well, so you can participate.

Thanks again and see you later! :)
