Magnolia Christmas Winter Stampkit 2010 card

Oh my!
The mailmen overhere striked the last week for a couple of days. I luckily got some mail and yesterday, Saturday the mailman also delivered the newest Magnolia Stampkit *whoowhoo!!*
It's a great kit, very birthday-themed, but the stamp I used for this project, is also perfect for other projects, so I made a Christmascard with it.

Also used a Magnolia die-cut. Wow! They're expensive (but got it in a sale :)), but it really cuts awesome! Very clear!
Plus I also used my, almost can't craft without them these days, nestabilities for the retangles at the image.

Anyways...

Here's a detailphoto of my project where you can see the stickles I used:

And here's the Christmascard I made with the stamp from the Winterkit:

I totally love the new kit!
Have to get myself another year's subscription as I'm sure they will be releasing some more awesome stamps in 2011.

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

DWYT Sketch #63

Hi there!

It's Thursday, so time for another DWYT-sketch.
This time the sketch is made by me :)
Hope you will like it. I was inspired by a stampset I received last month. I just knew I had to make a card something like this with it, but first I made the sketch. Just knew exactly what I wanted and it worked out quite alright if I may say so *lol*

The stamps are so very versatile to use. You can use one, two, three, etc. Just what you like :)
Really liked making the card.

Anyways...here's the card:

And here's the sketch I made:

Hope you are inspired by the sketch and my card, so you can play along at the DWYT-blog.
It would be nice if you could play with all of us.

Wags 'n Whiskers challenge Snowflakes

Hi there and welcome to another Wags 'n Whiskers challenge.
Oh boy, oh boy... did it snow overhere the last few days, and it also snowed a lot in the rest of Europe.

I really love it! And so do my kids. They made some snowangels yesterday when we went playing in the snow. They so enjoyed it!

So there just couldn't be any better challenge like this week's: SNOWFLAKES.

This is the card I made:

Made the snowflakes with SU and Martha Stewart punches. I just love them! Finished them with some stickles.

But what are you waiting for?? Get creating and join the DT with this challenge.
You don't have to use a Wags 'n Whiskers image, but if you do, you have an extra chance on winning something very, very nice :)

And don't forget to visit the Wags'nWhiskers blog for some more inspiration from the DT.

Thank you so much for coming! See you laters!

Teddy Stampers Challenge: Christmas bears + DT Call

Hi there and welcome to another Teddy Stampers Challenge :)
This time the theme is "Christmas bears". Oh yes, only 21 more days to go till Christmas Eve. Time does fly fast if you have fun in life.

I made this card with the lovely LOTV stamp I bought in London last September. Oh, I love that city and I just loved the fair I went to. Loads of other stamps than we have overhere in The Netherlands, but also a lot of the same articles.

Anyways... here's my card.

Don't you just love that image??!! I sure do! It's just a sweetie!
I made this card with a sketch I found a while back. Really have no idea where I found it, but if you know, please let me know and I will give some credit.
Back to the challenge... we have a fab sponsor this time: Elisabeth Bell. And as a former GuestDesigner for the DigiBellsDT I can tell you Elisabeth Bell is such a sweet person!
But that's not all... she creates the most fabulous stamps and digi-images. You really should visit her overhere.

All of the Teddy Stampers DT have received the digi image Eden's 2nd Christmas.
I already used this image when I was on the DigiBellsDT, and you can find my card overhere.

Now what are you waiting for?? Get creating and hop on over to the Teddy Stampers blog for more inspiration from the fellow DT-members.

And did you know the Teddy Stampers challengeblog is holding a DT-call?? Check out all the details overhere.
It's a great challengeblog, so you really should give it a try :)

See you later!

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! :)
