Instyle Stamps Challenge :)

Hi there!

It's Wednesday, so time for another Instyle Stamps challenge. Please visit the Instyle Stamps blog for more info :)

It's a Magnolia Christmas 2010 card!

Wow! Finally I finished this card after coloring the image, which I did, by the way, the day I received the Fall Magnolia Kit 2010.

I just love the Magnolia Christmas collection 2010 a lot!
Combined a stamp from this year's Christmas collection (Tilda) with last year's (the envelope). Masked it a bit and this is what I got:

And a detailphoto:

Made this card with some old October Afternoon patterned Christmas papers. Think it was the 2008 release (oh yeah... got a lot of Christmas papers!!)

Anyways... it's almost Christmas Time. The 4 weeks before Christmas, we call it the Advent, started yesterday and I really can't wait till Christmas! Already got myself some presents when I went shopping yesterday and next week my Christmas tree will be decorated :)
Can't wait!

Well... thanks again for coming over! Love ya all!

Instyle Stamps November bloghop

Hi there and welcome to this month's Instyle Stamps bloghop!

If you've came here by visiting the sweet Taylor, you're on the right track, if not, please start at the very beginning... the Instyle Stamps blog. Thank you! :)

This time the theme is "Your fave holiday song". It was quite simple to use Happy New Year Chloe for this bloghop, and after that I realized Abba's song "Happy New Year" just couldn't fit any better.

So here you have it:

No more champagne

And the fireworks are through

Here we are, me and you

Feeling lost and feeling blue

It’s the end of the party

And the morning seems so grey

So unlike yesterday

Now’s the time for us to say...

Happy new year

Happy new year

May we all have a vision now and then

Of a world where every neighbour is a friend

Happy new year

Happy new year

May we all have our hopes, our will to try

If we don’t we might as well lay down and die

You and i

Sometimes I see

How the brave new world arrives

And I see how it thrives

In the ashes of our lives

Oh yes, man is a fool

And he thinks he’ll be okay

Dragging on, feet of clay

Never knowing he’s astray

Keeps on going anyway...

Happy new year

Happy new year

May we all have a vision now and then

Of a world where every neighbour is a friend

Happy new year

Happy new year

May we all have our hopes, our will to try

If we don’t we might as well lay down and die

You and i

Seems to me now

That the dreams we had before

Are all dead, nothing more

Than confetti on the floor

It’s the end of a decade

In another ten years time

Who can say what we’ll find

What lies waiting down the line

In the end of eighty-nine...

Happy new year

Happy new year

May we all have a vision now and then

Of a world where every neighbour is a friend

Happy new year

Happy new year

May we all have our hopes, our will to try

If we don’t we might as well lay down and die

You and i

And here's the project I made:

I just loved creating this little thing. So great for some gifts etc. to give. And I just needed some sparkle on Chloe :)

Anyways... this is it for me, hope you've enjoyed my little project.

The next stop on the bloghop is Cyndi. She has something amazing for you! :)

Thank you so much for visiting and don't forget to go to the Instyle Stamps blog to let us know which project you like best (it would be nice if it could be mine *hint* LOL).

See you later!



Wags 'n Whiskers challenge: Wrap it up

Hi there!
It's Friday, time for another Wags'nWhiskers challenge and this time I think it's a fantastic one (uhhmm... I have this every week! So love their challenges!).

The theme is: WRAP IT UP! So this means you have to make a gift box, a bag, a tag, etc.

I made this giftbox. Perfect for those small Christmas presents :) And who doesn't love presents...

Anyways... here's the project I made for this challenge:

For this giftbag I used Lacey, a great stamp to use for all different kind of occasions, even Christmas! Just give her other colors and you've got a totally different project :)

I also used some of my Christmas patterned paper stash. Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy...I still got so many Christmaspapers left. Haven't bought any new ones (uuhh... bought some EP papers for this year's December Daily, but that's really it!!) this year, and have to admit I can probably use all those papers the coming 5 years or something *lol*

Anyways... back to the challenge...

Thank you sooooooo much for coming here, but please don't forget to also visit the Wags'nWhiskers blog for more inspiration from the DT... the projects are AMAZING!

Thank you so much for visiting, see you later! :)

DWYT Sketch #61

Hi there!
Thursday means DWYT-day!
This week Joan made the sketch you can find at the DWYT-blog and this is the card I made for this week:

I just totally love this year's SU Christmasstamps and papers. Totally love the Old Olive and Cherry Chobbler combination. Very, very classic, which I like a lot.

Thank you so much for coming! See you all later! :)

Therefor Spesch Stamps released some awesome Harry Potter stamps. They really are great! Love them!


Have to admit I'm not a HP fan at all, fell asleep during the movie watching it at the movies with some friends *oops*, but I love the stamps though.

Wags 'n Whiskers Challenge: Lavender & Lace

Hi there!


It's another Friday, so time for another Wags'nWhiskers challenge. This time the challenge is to use "lavender & lace".
Really found it a challenge, as I really thought I had no lavender kind of stuff to create this weeks challenge. But... Luckily one of my fave brands, Basic Grey, has a scrapbookline which also includes lavender, so I used it. So glad I can "shop" in my scraproom :)

This is the card I made using Rhiannon.

And a detailshot to see the glitter on Rhiannon's wings...

Thank you so much for coming over!
Don't forget to see the other items the DT has made at the Wags'nWhiskersblog.
Plus... you can play a long with us. You don't have to use a Wags'nWhiskers image, but if you do... chances are bigger to win a lovely prize :)

See you laters! :)
