DWYT Sketch #71

Hi there!

It's time for another DWYT-sketch, this time made by Renske.
Think the sketch is just awesome! Perfect for "production" cards as I call them as they're really easy to make and perfect for swaps etc. :)

Anyways... here's the card I made. Already got the Christmasspirit *lol*
Made this a 4x4 card, so it's easy to make 4 out of one 12x12 cardstock.


And some more cards made with the same sketch and papers.


Thank you very much for coming over!

Please visit the blog for more inspiration from the DT and to play along.


See you later!

Magnolia-Licous Christmas All Year Long Bloghop - Magnolia Christmas card

Hi there!

Welcome to another Magnolia-Licious Christmas All Year Long Bloghop!
If it's correct, you've came here after visiting the Magnolia-Licious Christmas All Year Long Blog, the starting point for today and I'm the first person on the hop this month.
At this blog there's a bloghop every 25th of the month.
And as I really don't like all the stress at the end of the year with making Christmascards I thought this was one of the ways to get a little less stressed :)
So I decided to participate and it also challenges me to use my Christmas Maggies all year long and as the newest collection is arriving at my house (uhh... the fall kit is with some nice stamps and will buy the others during a hobbyfair next week), I really can't wait till it's Christmas... Only 4 weeks to go!

Anyways... here's the card I made for this hop:

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!

This is the sketch we had to "follow", made by lil'ol'me:
