MCM #6 Merry Christmas Monday

Hi there and welcome to another MCM... Merry Christmas Monday.


Today I like to show you a very simple, yet elegant card I made with the lovely PTI stampset "In the Meadow". When there's one stampset I own, getting you into a Christmasmood, I think this is the one.
Wonderfull images and just awesome sentiments.


So here you have it...

Thanks so much for coming over and hope to see you again this week, or otherwise next Monday for another MCM :)

ABC Challenge: S for Surprise

Please click here for the card I made with one of the Magnolia stamps from the new Summerkit 2012.

Hi there and welcome to another ABC Challenge.
This time we landed at the S for Surprise :)


We are sponsored by the lovely people of Stamp Fairy.


Wanted to make a card, and totally had in mind what I wanted, but then I realised it would be cool to make a small package to give away.
Love the combination of kraft, red and white.


So here is my creation... really simple to make.
Used a diecut, some punches, some stamps and some twine from my shop.

I'm sorry if the picture is crap.
I have a "new" computerscreen and for some reason I can't get my colors right. Ah well... you just have to imagine it's a kraft bag, lovely red-white twine, real read cardstock and ink and a white diecut doily ;)


Thanks so much for coming over. Hope to see you later!


Please visit the ABC Challengeblog for more inspiration and hopefully you can join in the party :)

Tilda with mouse - Magnolia Summer kit 2012

Hi there!!!


You really can't imagine how happy I was when receiving the Magnolia summerkit today! Really didn't expect it already (even though I thought a few weeks back it would be here any day now...).
The kit is full of lovely fall-image stamps and also some other ones.


As I couldn't wait making a card with one of those stamps... I first had to mount them. Did it last evening and just finished my card (it's just over 1.30 am overhere!!).
When mounted all the stamps, I just knew I wanted to use BasicGrey's Mellow papers. It's a really old line, but I totally love those fall colors a lot!
In fact, my fave season has to be fall as I really love all the pretty colors Mother Nature gives us.


Off course I colored the image with my Spectrum Noir markers. Totally love them and they're sooooooooo easy to work with!!


Anyways... back to the card... here it is... Enjoy ;)

Oh, I'm sorry *lol*...hehe... just wanted to tease you all... *smile*


Here's the card :)

Thanks so much for coming over and hope to see you later today for a new ABC Challenge blogpost.

Happy Birthday Rockstar

Hi there and happy Saturday!


Today I participated in the LIM challenge. Love those ones and hope to participate the following weeks as well :)
I was inspired by the colors, musicnotes and swirls as well.


Overhere the weather has been very nice, finally some warmer. While I didn't bother it was colder the last couple of weeks as I love working with lower temperatures a lot better than hot warm weather :)


Anyways... here's my card:

Thanks for coming over and hope to see you later today. Received some lovely items just in my mailbox and can't wait to play with them :)

Spectrum Noir feat. Magnolia Liberty Tilda 2012

Hi there and welcome to another Tuesday!


Today I like to show you a card I made with my Spectrum Noir markers. Seriously.... practise makes perfect! Love these markers and on the Spectrum Noir blog you can find out how I did the coloring for this sweet limited edition Liberty Tilda 2012 and what colors I used for her.
It's mostly colored with the Blue Grey markers. Really love the grey-spectrum markers a lot, not only the Blue Grey ones :)
Hi en welkom bij een nieuwe dinsdag!
Vandaag wil ik jullie graag een kaart laten zien die ik met mijn Spectrum Noir markers heb gemaakt. Echt waar... oefening baart kunst! Vind deze markers geweldig en op het Spectrum Noir blog kun je zien hoe ik deze limited edition Liberty Tilda 2012 heb gekleurd en welke kleurnummers ik hiervoor heb gebruikt.
Het is hoofdzakelijk met de BGR-kleuren gekleurd. Vind de grijs-kleuren echt geweldig, niet alleen de blauw-grijze! :)


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

BasicGrey Challenges: Fave colorcombo

Hi there and welcome to my blog :)

Today is the start of a new BasicGrey Challenge... Fave colorcombo.
It sure won't be a surprise what my fave colorcombo will be, but I really was doubting as I like pink and white, red and white, etc. a lot, but I just knew I had to use green and red :)
Red has always been my fave color since I was little and I just loooooooove green as well (just open my closet and you'll find loads of green and red clothes).

So I made a Christmascard for you with my fave colorcombo: Red & Green.
Used a LOTV stamped image. Oh, I just so love those images!

Thanks so much for coming over. Hope to see you later on.
In the meantime... visit the BasicGrey Challengesblog for more fave colorcombo's of the DT. They made some awesome projects as always :)

Wags'nWhiskers challenge: Kraft

Hi there and welcome to another Wags'nWhiskers challenge!

This time we like to see KRAFT on your project and let's be honest, who doesn't like kraft??!! It's so versatile and can be with almost any color.
For my project I wanted to make a 70's kinda look. Just loooooooooove those patterned papers!
Also used "Hannah", my most used Wags'nWhiskers stamp. I just loooooooove her and she's so versatile to use for different kind of cards.

Anyways... here's my card, colored with my Speccies (or Spectrum Noirs as they're called officially ;))

Thanks so much for joining us these 2 weeks.
Hope to see you with a creation as well :)
For now... hop on over to the Wags'nWhiskers challengeblog to see what the other DT-members have made for this challenge.

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 :)

Hi there and welcome to another MCM: Merry Christmas Monday. Hmm... really like that name :)

Today I have another Christmascard to show you which I made a few weeks back with the same stampsets from previous posts.
Really CAS, but I love it and that's the most important :)

Used different cardstock than the last cards, it's got structure in it and thought it was just perfect for this card :)
Added 2 red gems, just perfect :)


Thanks very much for coming over and hope to see you later on! :)
