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,of course thought of using papers,when i saw the Sketch.I used to LOVE paper so much,and believe me...i have tons of it!! I guess like most of us do.But right now,i am having quite a hard time using it!
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!!! :)

Here are 2 of the cards i made with this Set

For the first card,i have also used CB's Merry little Christmas and Sweet little Sentiments!!
I stamped the trees on some Tim Holtz Watercolor paper with Iced Spruce Distress Ink.I've used the same ink and a waterbrush to add a little shading on the trees.After the where dry i masked the trees and sponged the background with tumbled glass distress ink.
I've used Twin Touch Markers for the cute snowman.

I stamped the house and the trees with Versafine Onyx Black Ink and covered it with clear glitter embossing powder.For the moon and sentiment,i took hero arts white embossing powder.Than i sponged the background with peacock feathers,stormy sky and chipped sapphire distress inks and droped a little of water here and there!

Winter Blooms - Clearly Besotted Guest Design

Hello everyone,

Here i am with my second Sneak Peek for Clearly Besotted's November release!!
I hope you all liked the Teasers yesterday!

Today,i am back with a new Set called Winter Blooms!! Oh my...these stamps are SO beautiful!!
And i thought,perfect for watercoloring!
So,i made 2 cards and used watercoloring on both of them!
I kept them very simple,since the images are so pretty and that's where i wanted to keep the focus on!
Only a few sequins and i called it done!
I know,i am not a pro in watercoloring,but i had a lot of fun making these and if i do say so myself,i really like how they turned out!

This one is even more simple.I just used a layer of silver glitter paper for a little extra shine!!
I wished the pictures would show how pretty these look in person!

Don't forget,all of these new beautiful Clearly Besotted Stamps and Dies will be available November 5th at 10pm UK time!!

Stop by Stephanie's Blog and check out what she and her fabulous Team created for today!!!

Naughty or Nice - Clearly Besotted Guest Design

Hello everyone,

I am SOOO super duper excidet to be joining Clearly Besotted as their November Guest!!!!!!!!!! :)
I guess you all know,how much i adore this Company and Stephanie aaand her amazing Team?!!!
So i feel very honored to be joining them for the second time this year!!! :)
Thank you Stephanie!!!!

Ok,today i would like to show you a new Set called Naughty or Nice!! I LOVE...LOVE this Set! It comes with the most cutest images!!
I have made quite a few cards with these cute Stamps.I am not going to show them all today,i will keep a few for the rest of the month.
But i will show you 3 of them today.

For my first card,i've used the sweet peppermints and candy canes,to create a wreath!
I saw a similiar inspiration with a "real" candy cane wreath on pinterest a few weeks ago.So,when i got this Set,i knew right away what i would do with it!
The Snowflake in the middle comes from CB's Snowflake trio dies,which i covered with Ranger clear rock candy glitter! The stripes at the bottom are from their Diagonal Stripes and the sentiment is from Holiday Sentiments!

Since i really liked how this card turned out,i wanted to make another one,just a little....hmmm...more elegant looking!! So i choose to do some heat embossing with gold and silver.
The little wreath in the middle is from CB's Signature Christmas Set! And the sentiment from Christmas Sparkle! I know,my embossing is anything but smooth.I have no idea why.I have a new Versamark Ink pad and used Zing embossing powder.

Ok,and now my last one for today.
I am in love with this adorable gingerbread man and girl.SO cute!!
I've also used CB's Scalloped Edges Die!

other supplies: Echo Park - Dots and Stripes Christmas Collection, MME - Enamel Dots, Ranger Black Enamel Accents

All new Clearly Besotted goodies will be available November 5th!!!

Please check out Stephanie's Blog to find more amazing Sneaky Peeks from her and her Team!!
