Whiff of Joy Christmas 2011 card

Hi there!

Yes, you've read it right... Christmas 2011 :)
I'm already preparing my cards as I felt I was in such a hurry the last weeks to make Christmascards last year.

Made this card with a lovely stamp from Whiff of Joy. Totally love these cute stamps and use them a lot (not only the Christmas ones ;)).
Used patterned papers I used a lot on last year's cards, but I soooooooo love the patterns and colors. Defenately one of my fave Christmas paperlines ever.

Anyways... here's my card...

Thank you so much for coming over. Am entering this card in the Whiff of Joy Guest DT-challenge... *keeping fingers crossed* :)

I also read they will be at the ArtSpecially in Zeist this April... really can't wait, as it's one of my fave craft fairs to go to (with another one as well).

*yahoo!!*

See you later! :)

Teddy Stampers Challenge: Anything goes

Please scroll down for this week's Wags'nWhiskers Challenge :)


Hi there!

It's another Friday at the Teddy Stampers, so a new challenge. This time it's "Anything goes" and who doesn't love this kind of challenges?! I sure do! :)

Short story about this card...
I already picked my stamp and papers about 3 weeks ago. Colored the image, waited till last week to make a project with it, till I realized I colored the image for the next challenge and picked out the papers already.

Soooooooo.. had to make another project for this week.

Luckily I received some new stamps last week (like I don't have enough stamps already, but you might know of this "problem") and one of them was just perfect to use for this challenge.

Really love the image for a child's card, so I picked bright colors (noticed I'm using these quite a lot these days.. just love the combo!)

Anyways... here's the card :)

Thank you very much for coming over and it would be nice if you could go to the Teddy Stampers blog and play along with us :)

See you later!

Wags'nWhiskers Challenge: Fairy Special Challenge

Hi there and welcome to another Wags'nWhiskers challenge!

This time the challenge is called "Fairy Special Challenge" and SPECIAL it is, as the FAIRIES will be released as digital images. Oh yes! Don't you just love this?! This means you have so much more options playing with them.

So here's my project, made with Fairy Nichola. I really, really love this image and she is just soooooooo versatile as I already made Christmascards, birthdaycards and other cards with her.

Loads and loads of glitter on her wings and dress...

This time I've made a wintercard as it's still winter, though I must admit it doesn't feel like winter without the cold, snow and ice to skate on the canals (I soooooooooo wish I could do this again! Totally love it!)

Anyways... this is my project for this week's challenge. Why don't you just join in the fun at the blog, see what the other DT-members made?? Come on... get creating,.. can't wait what you've created :)

See you later!

DWYT Sketch #69

Hi there! It's Thursday, so that means another DWYT-sketch for you all.
This time I made it and hope you will like it. Kept it quite simple. You can use this sketch for various stamps and/or papers.
I used one of the newest stamps from the Instyle Stamps stampset "Patty Love", which, I think, is just perfect for cards for birthdays, friends, Valentine or everyting else you like :)

Here you can see the whole set:

And let me tell you a little secret: I just loooooooooooooooove sceduling my blogposts. When this post goes live, I will be sleeping (which I totally love by the way!) and you're able (if you aren't sleeping as well that is ;)) to see it. Just love sceduling posts.
This is the sketch we had to "follow", made by lil'ol'me:

And this is the card I made with the sketch, I just looooooooove the MS border punch with cupcakes:

Stamps: Instyle Stamps "Patty holding cupcake" (image) and Hero Arts (sentiment); Cardstock: Bazzill; Patterned papers: Papermania; Borderpunch cupcake: Martha Stewart; Copics (E02,E51,E33,E35,E37,E93,W1,W3,W5,R81,R83,R85,Y23); Baubles: StampingBella; Stickles: Ranger

DWYT Sketch #68

Hi there!

Better late than never, but here's my card for the DWYT-challenge of this week.
Have to say I really, really had a hard time with this sketch as I:
1. Don't really enjoy making cards with diagonal papers/items on it. Like it straight :)
2. Wasn't comfortable the way the sketch is build, so I layered the items all together and think I like it much better this way :)

So here's my card for this week's challenge:

Hope you'll enjoy this card. Please take a look at the DWYT-blog and see the cards the other DT-members made.
And what are you waiting for?? Get creative and join us with this sketch :)
