ABC Challenge: U for Under the weather

Hi there and welcome back.
This is my 2nd post for today, please scroll down for the Christmas Challenges {with sketches} Challengepost. Thanks!


It's the 1st of the month, so time for another ABC-Challenge and it's called "U for Under the weather". Really, we shouldn't have named it like this as I've been under the weather for almost 2 weeks now. Not going into details, but it's not good :(
So that's why I haven't posted that much and what I've posted was sceduled (love it!).
Email isn't working as well, so when you mailed me...sorry... but can't access my outlookprogramm. It's also under the weather :(


But well... I tried to come up with an "Under the weather"-card, and this is it...

Simple, yet very effective and by just changing the sentiment, you can have loads of cards for different occasions.


Please check out the ABC-Challengeblog for more inspiration from the DT.


Thanks so much for coming over and hope to see you around later. I'm off to bed.

Spectrum Noir: Creating Shadows

Hi there!


Today is another day for me to show you a tutorial on the Spectrum Noir blog.
It's about creating shadows. It's a tutorial I made specially with people in mind feeling overwhelmed to create shadows on their projects, thinking "Oh... I can't do it... it's way too complicated!", but you're wrong and I like to show you there how you create shadows like on this stamped image:
Vandaag is de dag dat er weer een tutorial van mij op het Spectrum Noir blog te zien is.
Ditmaal gaat het om het maken van schaduw. Het is een tutorial die ik speciaal voor mensen heb gemaakt die het erg overweldigend vinden om schaduw op hun projecten te maken en denken "Oh... Ik kan dat niet, dat is veel te ingewikkeld!", maar dat is niet waar en ik wil graag laten zien hoe je nu schaduw kunt maken zoals bijv. bij dit afdrukje:

Yeah.. it's quite basic, but for people not knowing how to create it, it's just fine :)
So please hop on over to the Spectrum Noir blog for more information. Thanks!


Thanks for coming over and hope to see you later.
Het is nogal basic, maar voor mensen die niet weten hoe ze schaduw dienen aan te brengen, is het prima :)
Dus neem een kijkje op het Spectrum Noir blog voor meer info. Bedankt!
Bedankt voor het langskomen en ik hoop je snel weer te mogen begroeten.

Stamp-a-Faire's final projects

Hi there and welcome (back!)


Today I like to show you 2 more projects I made for Stamp-a-Faire 2012.
First I like to show you a card I just cased from the one I already made on Saturday, which you can find overhere.
I just loooooooved the colorcombo I used and also the outcome of it, so I just basically did the same, only instead of pleading the ribbon, I made a bow. LOVE IT! :)

I also made a nice cardset, including a decorated box.

It consists of 4 different kind of cards, but with the same layout.

Here's the box...

And here are the cards:

Thanks so much for coming over and PTI... thanks so much for this great online event I had.
Got me inspired a lot and let me using my supplies in different ways I normall use. Thanks!

Hope to see you later on!

SAF Challenge #3: Limited supplies

Aloha!


This is my last project for today. Really tired at the moment and tomorrow there's a brand new day :)
For this challenge we were challenged to use a floral stampset (yeah.. I used Rosie Posie again!), some colors of cardstock, some ink, ribbon and buttons.
I took away the buttons. Love these kind of challenges. Less defenately is more!
And this is the card I made:

Thanks for coming over today and hope to see you around tomorrow... got some more projects to do ;)

SAF Challenge 2: Mini Album technique

Hi there *again*  LOL


Back with another project made today, a mini-album.
We could choose between several kind of mini-albums and I choose the one with the tag and library envelope.
Made it a Christmasone, so I can easily put my photos on the backside of the tags. No hussle, very easy.
So here you have it... Scraplifted a lot and even this ribbon was made after watching the video.

Thanks again for coming and hope to see you later on. More in the making ;)

SAF Challenge #1 Ribbon technique

Hi there *again*


First "official" challenge completed: Ribbon technique. Really had fun using this technique. As I wanted to use Ashley's technique, I didn't want it with a flower, but just a straight line on my card.


And this is what I made with the technique...

Used the same colors as last post, same goes for the stampset, exept for the leaves and sentiment.
Ok, off for another challenge.


Thanks for coming over and see you later on! :)

Make-n-Take challenge #1

Hi there and am back :)


Here's my take on the PTI Make-n-Take. It was time to use my Rosie Posie-set for the first time ever.
Can you believe it?? I've been in love with this set for quite a while now and wow.... after using it for the first time I'm totally in looooooooooove with it.
It's just so simple making a background as a cardbase.
You will defenately see Rosie Posie a lot more today :)

Used a fave colorcombo of mine at the moment... very tropical :)
Yeah... I already love today. Thanks PTI!!


Now I'm off creating again... ribbon is next. See you later!
