World Card Making Day - Part 2

Hi there!

Yesterday, I showed you one of the two cards I made yesterday for some World Card Making Day Challenges at a forum.

Today I like to show you the other one I made. We had an inspirationphoto and we had to make a card with a triangle left out.

As there were *uhhh... are* still some SU supplies on my desk, the decision wasn't that difficult to make. Had to use these papers, which, I by the way, totally love!
The concept is very easy, but think the ribbon ads a bit of dimension and extra to it.

So here you have it... Another Christmascard...

Sorry for the strange photo, but had to photograph it this way, so you could see the opening and I made a triangle.

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

World Card Making Day - Part 1

Hi there and welcome to a very, very, very warm Sunday on the 2nd October!
We never had such a hot weekend starting October in The Netherlands and is officially the number 1.
Really enjoyed the weather, specially today.

As it's World Card Making Day/Weekend, there are loads of challenges across the web. One of them was at a forum. They had 5 challenges and I managed to complete 2 of them within an hour (only had an hour to complete them before 20.00, so had to keep it simple).

Here's the first card I made, we had to make a vintage one, 4"x4" with 2 patterned papers and 2 stamps on it and you can make it more with flowers etc.
So I grabbed a pizzabox full of scraps and found these beauties. Used PTI stamps, just perfect and finished it off with some Hero Arts gemstones and some ink on the sides.

And then you get this...

Thanks for coming over! See you later! :)

ABC Challenges meets Basic Grey Challenges

Hi there!

With proud I'd like to announce you I'm officially back on the ABC Challenges DT! *whoowhoo!!*
They stopped a couple of months ago, but was asked back for the new challenges!

As I've been offline most of the last 2 weeks, having a break from everything, I combined 2 DT's challenges I'm in: ABC Challenges and BasicGrey Challenges for this time.

The theme for ABC Challenges is "Anything goes" (and don't we just looooooooove it?!) and the theme for the Basic Grey Challenges is "Nursery Rhymes/Fairytales".
So when I was searching for the perfect stamp, I came across the newest stamps I bought last week in London from Lavinia Stamps and wow... if you ever have time left to look at all the beautifull artwork I saw at their booth at the show...wow!!

Kept this card very CAS. Love it! Clean design with my fave patterned papers and sentiment stamps. Made it a Christmascard as Christmas will be here within 2,5 months time. Time sure goes by way too fast.
So here you have my card.

Thank you very much for coming over. Would love to visit you, so why don't you just join in at the ABC Challengeblog and the BasicGrey Challengesblog?!

Hope to see you here next time :)
Will be back later today with the winner of my blogcandy.


This card will play in the following challenges:
