Christmas Challenges {with sketches} #39

Hi there and welcome back to another Christmas Challenges {with sketches}.

This time the sketch is made by Nicolet, a great one and will be using this one a lot more! We're sponsored by Crealies.
So here's my card, made with a pre-colored image as I have loads of these patterned papers left it's easy to color stamped images one evening and don't have to bother about the coloring and papers used.

Thanks so much for coming over.
Please visit the CCWS-blog for Nicolet's sketch and more inspiration from the DT. Thank you!

See you later on!

Christmas Challenges {with sketches} #37

Hi there again and welcome to another Christmas Challenges {with sketches}.

This week it's Team 1, the Snow Angels, turn.
The sketch is made by Sandra and we're sponsored by Inky Impressions.

And this is the card I made... colored this Magnolia image quite a while ago, but have so many of these patterned papers overhere, it's just stamping images and coloring them with the same colors every time :)

About me... I'm feeling a lot better, luckily my energy is coming back day by day, still having some headaches, but they're ok to deal with, so you will see more creations overhere as I've been crafty as well :)

Email still isn't working, so please be patient with me if you're waiting for a reply... Thank you!

Now back to the challenge... please visit the CCWS blog for more information about the sketch and to see what the other DT-members made. Thanks!

Christmas Cards {with sketches} #29

Hi there and welcome to another CCWS-challenge.

We decided the time is right to have challenges EVERY WEEK *whoopwhoop!!*
The team is devided into 2 groups and I'm a "Snow Angel"... how appropriate, isn't it :)
This week it's the Snow Angels' turn for the challenge and next week the other group... and in 2 weeks time, there's another post of the Snow Angels.

This week's sketch is made by Claire and we're sponsored by KreaTeja.
There's also a twist to it... No red or green, so I made this card a "winter-themed".
Off course I colored the image with my Spectrum Noir markers. I totally love them!!

Thanks so much for coming over. Hope to see you at the CCWS-blog with your creation as well :)

Basic Grey Challenges: Sizzling Summer

Happy Saturday!

It's time for another Basic Grey Challenge! Whoowhoo!!
Don't know about you, but overhere in The Netherlands we hardly saw sun the last couple of weeks. Fortunately the last days the sun has shined a lot and it was quite warm as well, but for the other weeks it sometimes felt like Fall.
But... we're still in Summertime, so what better way to celebrate it with this fortnight's theme: Sizzling Summer!

I used a stamp I haven't used in over a year, so was quite happy to ink it up again :)
Think this stamp defenately means Summer.

And a detailphoto where you can see the glitter a bit better:

Thank you very much for coming over!
Please check out the Basic Grey Challenges blog for more info how you can participate and to see the creations the other DT-members have made. Thanks!

Scrapdelight Summer festival

Hi there!

Doing this blogpost in Dutch... sorry :)

Hi!
Zoals jullie wellicht wel weten, mocht ik in juli guestmember zijn bij Scrapdelight *whoowhoo!!*. Op dit moment loopt er een geweldige zomerwedstrijd met geweldige prijzen!
Dus doe gezellig mee, het weer is nu niet echt zomers te noemen (op gisteren en maandag na), dus niets beters dan heerlijk scrappen, stempelen, creatief bezig zijn.

Hierbij mijn kaartje wat ik heb gemaakt. Vind de Tilda's van deze collectie echt geweldig leuk.

En een detailfoto voor wat glitter:

Doen jullie ook gezellig mee met deze challenge van Scrapdelight?? Geweldig!

We had an amazing Valentine's hop a few months back and now it's time for some more FUN!


As we don't celebrate 4th July overhere in The Netherlands, I've made a Summer themed project. Hope you will like it.


Made it with some cute Magnolia stamps I really, really like to use for Summer themed projects.
When I saw this item at a store I just knew I had to make a project like this as I wanted to use those Summer/boatthemed papers as well and love that kinda "net". Just love my project :)

And here you have it:

And some detailphotos:

Thank you very much for coming over!


Your next stop on the hop is the very talented and amazing Sandie :)

Magnolia summer kit 2010: Mermaid card

As you might know, I totally love the Magnolia images, so it was no surprise when I received the kit last week, I love their newest stamps as well :)

Here we have "Tilda, the Little Mermaid" as I will call her.
She's "just splashing by to say HI"... oh, I love this sentiment in combination with this stamp.
Already have more mermaid-stamps of other companies, so I already used this one a couple of times and thought this would be the perfect sentiment to go with this Tilda as well :)

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

And a detail where you could see more glitter..

Stamps: Magnolia (image) and Pink Cat Studio (sentiment); Cardstock: Bazzill; Patterned papers: Imagnisce; Stickles: Ranger; Baubles: StampingBella; Ribbon: own stash; Flowers: Prima & own stash; Ink: Memento & Colorbox; Coloring medium: Copics

Oh... I really need to buy more of this patterned paper. Only bought one of each style so I could make some summercards with the stamps I already have, but as Magnolia has so much stamps that scream "We want this paper as well!!" I need to buy some more *lol* Already used a lot of the paper I have overhere.

Anyways... hope you enjoyed my card...thanks for all your comments I receive. Makes me really *blush*!

Have a great day and enjoy yourself!

Can't get enough

Off these cute Nutshells stamps!
This is Summer Mac coloured with my new Copics last weekend.

Cardstock: Bazzill; Patterned paper: Sassafras Lass; Stamps: Nutshells (Mac) and PinkCatStudio (sentiment); Pens: Zig (black) and UniSigno (white); Coloured pens: Copic Ciao; Baubles: StampingBella; Ink: StazOn; Flowers: Prima; Brad: own stash

Will make some more cards this week and hopefully some layouts as well, but it's quite busy at work. Final weeks have arrived and they're always a bit stressfull ;)

Thanks for watching again :)
