Have fun in the Sun

Hi everyone,

My second post for today!! :)
I am in a such a crafty mood in the last few days! ;)

Ok,and i have another one for Create a Smile! :) Christine is offering a new Freebie because they hit 300 likes on Facebook!
It's an super cute and sweet penguin! So,of course i had to download it and create a card right away! :)

I did a little paper piecing on him.Printed him out 3 times.Twice on pattern papers and once on white watercoloring paper.

Party Time

Hi everyone,

Happy Saturday!! :)

We planed to to some BBQing today,and well...it is raining for the first time in weeks!! Looks like someone doesn't want us to eat some yummy "fat" food!! hehe
But we needed the rain,it was getting way to dry,plus it feels good the little cool wind!!

Today i have a card,where i again used one of Christine's ( Create a Smile ) freebies,for their Guest Spot call.This time i took the adorable little monster!
I've used the new CAS(E) this Sketch Sketch to create my card,since it was just perfect for it. :)

Isn't he just adorable?! :)
I've sponged him with Distress Ink and used some Ranger white Enamel Accents for the dots.

supplies: Create a Smile - Monster freebie, Clearly Besotted - Make a Wish ( Sentiment ) - It's your Birthday ( Party Hat ), My Creative Time - Stitched Round Speech Bubble, Distress Inks, Hero Arts - Brush Stamps - White Embossing Powder, MME - Enamel Dots, googly Eyes, Ranger - White Enamel Accents, Twin Touch Markers

Have a fantastic day everyone!!

A little Birdie told me...

Hallo everyone,

Happy Friday!! Finaly weekend!! :)
I hope everyone had a great week!! Mine was nice so far! :)

So,have you heard of the new Stamp buisness Create a Smile? The owner and illustrator is Christine Drogt from Das Kartenchaos! Pretty sure,most of you all know her! :)
Their first release will be July 11th! Christine is offering 3 Freebies,that you can download and print.I cute Birdie,a sweet little Monster and a Sentiment.I am pretty sure,that all of Christine's designs will be very fun and pretty different from what's on the market allready!!

They are giving away a Guest Spot for their first release! You have time until tomorrow to enter your cards to the linky tool.
Well,i thought i could give it a try! :)

I choose the sweet Bird for my card.I've used my Twin Touch Markers to color him in.Let me tell you though...i am NO pro in coloring...but i can live with it!! hehe
I printed it out twice to give it a little dimension.

supplies: Clearly Besotted - Love Blossom ( branch ) - Love Birds ( sentiment ), Lawn Fawn - Into the Wood Papers, Doodlebug and Simple Stories - Enamel Dots, Wink of Stella, Glossy Accents, Ranger - Black Enamel Accents

The Card Concept #13

Hi everyone,

This is my second post for today! Please scroll down for the new Freshly Made Sketches Challenge!!

It's time again for a new The Card Concept Challenge!!
Our theme for the next two weeks,is to create a Baby Card!!

I've been creating cards for the past hmmm,i think 6 years.But i do NOT own any Baby themed stamps or dies!!! I have sentiments,but that's about it! I usualy don't create Baby cards.But now i have to,because my half sister and my cousin both expect a baby.Guess i really need to stock up on a few stamps and dies!! :)

I created this really cute Pram with 2 circle punches.With the bigger one,i punched out two circles from different patterns.Cut each circle in half and glued them together.And with the small punch i punched out the weels.I used Clearly Besotted's Scalloped Edges Dies for a little detail on the top part of the Pram!

supplies: Clearly Besotted - Scalloped Edge Dies - Sweet little Sentiments - Love Blossom ( the little flower on the Pram ), My Creative Time - Stitched Heart Layering Dies, Lifestlye Crafts - Doily Circle Dies, Echo Park - Sweet Day Papers, Glossy Accents, Wink of Stella, Wooden Stars, Ranger - White Enamel Accents

Check out TCC Blog to find more amazing Baby cards from the Team!!
I hope you'll find time to play along!!!

Hi everyone,

Happy Wednesday!! :)
Emily had a great time at the Fun Park yesterday!! She loved it! We usualy go to a fun park every year.But it's always my husband,Jamie,Emily and me.So,i think it was even more fun for her to go with friends and other kids her age!!
We picked her up at 8pm,and she was pretty tired.
But now,my poor girl got sick.She was allready coughing for a few days,but today she woke up with a sore throat and snuffing! :/

Hello

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday!! :)

My daughter Emily went to a fun park today.
The Police and some some others from our Town,did a Benefit Soccer Game a few weeks ago.
And with the donations that have been made,they thought it was a nice idea to send some 3rd and 4th grader from different schools in our town to a Fun Park.And my daughter was one out of 4 from her class that had been choosen!! She was one happy girl!! And me...of course i am nervoes not being with her!! ;) But i gave her a cell phone,so i could call and check on her!! :) :)
Oh gosh,how did we all survive without cell phones?!!! haha

Ok,today i have a card to share,that i made for the latest CASE Study and Keep it simple Challenges!
It's been a few month since i last played along in the case study challenge,i did manage to create a card for their last one,but was a day to late. :/
I haven't played with the KIS Challenges yet,no idea why,but when i saw their new one "splatters" i thought i'll give it a try! :)

We are having a fest in town,not sure if we're able to go.It looks a little to much like rain! We'll see! :)

I have a card today,i made for the latest CAS(E) this Sketch Challenge!

Again,i used some of the new My Creative Time goodies,i got on Thursday.Like the Wreath that i heat embossed with white embossing powder.And this pretty Butterfly,which i die cut out of Vellum.The small flowers ontop of the Wreath come from Clearly Besotted's Love Blossom Set.
And for the background i've used My Creative Time's Build a Chevy Background.

Hello everyone,

Happy Friday!! :)
I wish everyone a fabulous weekend!!

I wanne share a card i made for the My Creative Time Design Challenge!!
I haven't played in any of Emma's Challenges for quite a while and i thought it's about time now!! :)
Her Theme is to create a masculine card.
And for me struggling big times with masculine cards,this really was a Challenge for me! ;)

My Dad passed away last year.His first obit will be on the 30th this month,on my daughter's 10th birthday! :( At least i will be having a reason so smile and be happy on this day!!
So,since i couldn't create a fathers day card,i made one for my brother.He is very special person in my life,my best friend! He choose to leave Germany last year,and moved to California.I miss him so very much,but he is happy now,so i am happy to!! :)

I got some new stamps and dies from My Creative Time yesterday! SO,of course i had to use them right away!! :)
One of the new Set's i used on this card,is called Speech Bubble Sentiments.It comes with this stitched bottom part of a speech bubble,3 word dies "hello","you" and "are",and some word stamps,like this awesome that i've used! Such a fun Set!! And the Brother Stamp comes from an older Set by MCT called Here's Lookin' At You!!

Freshly Made Sketches #139

Hello everyone,

Happy Wednesday!!

So,how was your week so far?

Welcome to a new Freshly Made Sketches Challenge!!
This weeks Sketch is made by Rita!!! Awesome Sketch,just like all of the cards she creates!! She has an awesome style!! Love it!!

I must admit,it took me 3 tries,until i kind of liked my card! Maybe because i haven't used Tags on my cards for quite a while.One thing that still bothers me,that i cut the twine a little short.But i glued it down with Glossy Accents,and didn't wanted to tear my card,by trying to take it off.Oh well...!! ;)
