Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday!! :)

I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend and a great start into the new week!!

I am keeping myself a little short here,i am pretty busy at the moment.Well...it's not like that i always talk like crazy!! hehe

I did get to make a card for the new CAS(E) this Sketch Challenge last night! It's their 100th Challenge!! Congrats to them!!! :)

My card turned out way different as planed,but i'm glad it did!!! hehe
I tried it with Chevron's and with Arrow's.Didn't like it,so i went with a little different shape and choose stars!
I cut them with Spellbinders Star Dies and used Distress Inks to color them.The "I miss" is from Clearly Besotted's A little Sentimental.And the You chipboard with the Wood Veneer look is from Create a Smile! For the finishing touch i added a few sequins and Glossy Accents to the small star.

Thank you SO much for stopping by!!!

I still love it,and always will,but for the moment i like my cards more without!!

Besided the button and twine,is everything from My Creative Time!
I've used It's all about You for the arrows in the background and the sentiment,her Stitched Layering Heart Dies ( which i colored with the same ink,as i used on the arrows and her Photobooth Stitched Die.

Wunderschöne Weihnachtszeit

Hello everyone,

Happy Monday!!
I hope you all had a great weekend!! Mine was ok so far,just a lot of coughing around!
I can't seem to get rid of my cold i got in Nice! Oh well...it could be worse! :)

I was asked,if i'de like to share some photos of the trip.Of course! :)

But first i'de like to share a card i made for the latest CAS(E) this Sketch Challenge!! Haven't played for a while and glad i did get some time to make a card last night!

I've used the November Simon Says Stamp Card Kit.For the edge,i've used Clearly Besotted's Scalloped Edge Dies.
Aaaaand,the sentiment...YES,after all those years of crafting,this is my first German sentiment that i am using on a card.It's from Create a Smile and the Set is called " Schöne Bescherung "! The sentiment means "wonderful christmas time" in english!

Ok,on to some pics from the trip!
I took the first 3 in Monaco.I'll be honest,i am not really liking this place much! There is just not really anything historical about it,everything to new,and i quite felt like it was all about the money! I mean it was nice to look at,with all of the ( god knows how many ) yachts,but not really my thing.

My Grandma and me.This was taken right accross the church where Grace Kelly and Fürst Rainer from Monaco got married.I think this was one of the most interesting places there.

No,i'm not that tall,my Grandma is pretty small! ;)

 And these are just a few of the yachts,that i've seen there

To bad i didn't get a photo like this from Nice!! Nice to me was one of the most beautiful towns i have seen in my life!! I was suprised.I never cared much to see Nice,but i would go there again...anytime!!
This here is my favorite pic i took.Grandma and me set on the beach watching the beautiful sunset!! Was so nice,and so special to me,since i don't get to see her very often!

Thank you so much for stopping by!!! :)
