Magnolia Fairytale card

OMG!!
I was hoping to buy the newest Magnolia-stamps of the Fairytale-collection, which will be released pretty soon, at the Art Specially Event last Saturday at the Magnoliastand.
And luckily they had the stamps with them and yeah... bought a lot *oops*
Those stamps are just sooooooooo cute!

Here's a close-up of the card where you can see the glitter on her tiara and a bit on her skirt:

And here's the card I made with it.

Used some Tilda patterned papers which are just delicious to work with. If you ever get the chance to work with them... just do it!

Thanks for coming to my blog and watching what I love to do... being crafty :)

Have done some shopping :)

Friday evening I went to a scrapbookstore to follow a workshop by Tracy Hudson. It was a Prima workshop and already followed one about 2 years ago at the same store.
It was just great! I'm not someone that likes glitter and bling a lot, so it was quite of a shock to notice there was "some" bling in the kit.
(nevertheless I have to tell you I bought some of those "bling" flowers yesterday)
But.... I just sooooooo enjoyed it!

As I had to travel (by public transport, as I don't own a car and don't really need it either) a bit, I left work with a colleague of mine who had to travel the same direction.
Bought some dinner at the trainstation and had a marvelous evening untill... I had to go home that is.
Got the bus at about 10.05 pm, got the train at about 10.30, but had to change trains in Utrecht and there it was.... the train had some delay, 15 minutes. That's ok, but then they said it would take again 15 minutes before the train would leave, so I just took another train back home. I was home at 00.45 am!!!
Man, I was tired!
After 5 hours of sleep, my alarm went off so I could get the bus to get a car to Zeist, which is where the Art Specially Event was.

Still tired, I just sooooooooo loved the event!
Met loads of people (hi Lins, Angelina, Laura, Cora, Liezbeth, Rosita, Linda, and another one, sorry, can't remember your name...) and bought loads of cool goodies :)

It was extremely busy in the hall... terrible I can tell you! But there were so many cool shops!

First I went to the Magnolia-stand as I'm quite addicted to those stamps *lol*
Bought the newest stamps of the "fairytale"-collection. Really like them!
Also bought some flowers, other stamps, inks and papers.

Here it is :)

Have been playing around with some of the stamps already, so you will find those projects on my blog real soon :)

Anyways... I was really tired after the event. Left at about 6 pm and really enjoyed the day!
When I got home it was about 7.45 pm and felt really tired. Watched some tv and went sleeping.

Can't wait to go to the event next year!

Teddy Stampers' challenge card :)

Yahoo!!
This is the first card I made as a DT-member for the Teddy Stampers Challenge blog! :)

This time around the theme is "Spring".
Finally spring has settled itself overhere in The Netherlands. Flowers are blooming, trees are getting back their flowers and leaves. It's just a pretty sight.
But, last but not least, temperatures are getting much better :) We had a really cold and long winter, but I just loved it! Never seen so much snow for such a long time.
But now.... it's another great season... Spring!

And Spring stands for me for "new, fresh and flowers", so I used my newest Penny Black stamps and used some fresh papers of My Mind's Eye.

Go check out the other creations the DT-members have made, hop on over to the Teddy Stampers' blog and just make something nice in a spring-theme with a Teddybear stamp on it (yeah, it's a must to do this, otherwise you will be disqualified, sorry).

Stamp: Penny Black; Cardstock: Bazzill; Patterned papers: My Mind's Eye; Baubles: StampingBella; Ink: Memento; Coloring medium: Copics

Oh... did I tell you there's a prize to win as well???
This time the Teddy Stampers' Challenge will be sponsored by "Creations by Penny". Please check out the Teddy Stampers' Challenge blog for more info.

Can't wait to see all of your creations! :)
