Teddy Stampers challenge card

Hi there and welcome to another Teddy Stampers challenge!
This time one of the DT-members, Annie to be exactly, is challenges us all to use a square, circle and retangle.

I used 4 circles (1 of paper, 3 baubles), 3 retangles (2 of paper, one punched with a border punch and the stamped image) and 2 squares (1 paper and the cardstockbase).

As there are loads of pregnant women around me, I really need babycards, so you will see them overhere a lot more :)


Here's what I made:

And a detail (there's some glitter on the pin):

Cardstock: Bazzill; Patterned papers: Tilda; Stamp: WhipperSnapper; Ribbon: Stampin'Up; Baubles: StampingBella; Border punch: Martha Stewart; Stickles: Ranger Ink: Memento; Coloring medium: Copics; sandingpaper

I really can't wait what you will be making!

Go to the Teddy Stampers Challenge blog for more inspiration from the other DT-members and get creating!! :)

And take a look on the blog for our sponsor... it's a fab one I totally love! :)

By the way... did you notice the new DT-banner???

Cool huh?!

As a Forever Friends lover for over 17 years I must say this is incredible and am very honoured to add this banner to my blog :)

Already knew this, so it was hard to keep my mouth closed *lol*

Really can't wait to start this adventure!

Twirling Chloe

Hi all!

I had this image coloured last week, already cut all the papers, and planned to take part in the Sketch Saturday challenge of last week, but since my mojo hasn't been there, I finally finished this card with Twirling Chloe and it didn't quite follow the sketch with the sentiment, baubles, ribbon and flowers :)
Isn't she sweet??!! I just loooooooooove the Instyle Chloe images!

And then I received my WoJ package last week with 2 Christmasstamps (like I don't have enough already :) and a sentimentskit (like I don't have enough sentiments as well *lol*). The sentiments are perfect for the Magnolia Fairytale collection, but also for this Chloe image!

Anyways.. here's the card I created:

And a detail with some glitter :)

Cardstock: Bazzill; Patterned papers: Tilda; Stamps: Instyle Stamps (Twirling Chloe) and WoJ (sentiment); Ribbon: Stampin'Up; Ink: Memento; Stickles: Ranger; Baubles: StampingBella; Flowers: Prima & own stash

 

This card will take part in the following challenge:

Almost a week...

It's been almost a week since I posted a new blogpost, so here I am again :)
Haven't been scrapping a lot the last few days, my mojo has left me a bit, but today it finally came a bit back, so I really hope it will be back tomorrow or Tuesday as I have some major deadlines to catch :)

Anyways.. here's a card I made a week or 2 ago I think. Haven't showed you yet.
Made it with the sketch of Wags 'n Whiskers.
I haven't used my Hanglars since a whole long time, so I thought they could use some ink ;) And yes, this pretty girl really enjoyed the ink, and so did this big girl :)

And as always some close-ups...

The flowers...

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!

Virginia's Birthday Blog Hop :)

Whoo whoo!!
It's Virginia's, owner of Instyle Stamps, birthday today and we're celebrating it with a surprise Birthday Blog Hop! *Hi there Virginia!!*

If it's correct, you've come here after you left the letter   N
If not... please go to the beginning, which starts with the letter   H

Here's the tag I've created with Valentine Ava.

And some details...

As you can see, my share in this Birthday Blog Hop, is the letter    A

If Virginia was in my town on her birthday I would take her to Madurodam. There she could see a lot of The Netherlands, as they build it the same way exactly, only smaller. That way she could see where I live.

After that, we go to Scheveningen, which is really famous (and busy in the summer!) for some dinner and afterwards some fireworks which take place in the summer at the beach... it's great to see.

If there's still some time left, we can try our luck at the casino :) And win some to use for nice stamps ;)

And off course you should stay your night in "het Kurhaus":

So, Virginia... we were talking about trading places last week... you're more than welcome to be here! Would love to invite you and give you a little trip around The Netherlands :)

Edit... I forgot the best part of the whole day....

Visiting our Queen Beatrix!!

We all do this by bike, as this is the fastest plus easiest way to travel through the city. Or we can take the tram... (this one actually stops near my house!)

Now onto some details of this bloghop......

Since this is a Birthday Blog Hop, we can't leave you without a chance at a party prize! So here are the rules.

1. Start at the beginning of the blog hop with the letter   H
2. Comment on each Design Team's blog because they need a little love and increase your chances at the party prize.
3. Go to PaperYumness and wish Virginia a Happy Birthday.
The deadline to win a digital image is Sunday, July 18th at 8:00pm Pacific Time. (dit is maandag 19 juli 5.00 's morgens voor ons Nederlanders!)


That's all you need to do! The prize???? Not one, but two! You might win either one by commenting on a blog. Good luck and hope you have fun all along the way!

Enjoy the hop!! Next stop is the letter.....    N

Instyle Stamps preview: Chloe's Christmas Tree

Ok, so I told you before the Instyle Stamps DT is previewing all the newest Holidays stamps for Halloween and Christmas and I'm not sure if you're already able to buy them at the Instyle Stamps store, otherwise they soon will be available, cos.....

Today is the 16th!! And that means all the new releases will arrive in the store! :)
I can't wait to buy me some nice ADIL stamps, but also other stamps, as the DT amazed me with all those projects they made!

Here's my latest card with one of the new releases: Chloe's Christmas Tree. Wanted to keep the layout very simple with just the image, a sentiment and some embossing.

And as always a detail where you can see the glimmer:

Stamps: Instyle Stamps (Chloe's Christmast Tree) and Stampin'Up (sentiment); Cardstock: Stampin'Up; Embossingfolder: Provocraft; Stickles: Ranger; Ink: Memento; Coloring medium: Copics

Thanks for coming and don't forget to see the DT projects as they are quite amazing as always. Check them out over at the Instyle Stamps blog :)
