Here it is...my first Christmas card for this year! :)
Still hard to believe,only 2 more month!! I am still in summer mode for some reason.Fall hasn't arrived yet,like it should...i am pretty much ready for fall though.My favorite season of the year.

I made a card for the new Freshly Made Sketches!!

Just say Boo

Hi everyone,

Here my first Halloween card for this year. ;)
We don't celebrate it here in Germany...i mean some do,some don't! It's by far not the same as it is in the USA.
Even though i have a big family in the USA and friends,i just hardly craft Halloween stuff.The few cards that i'll be making,will go to my little cousins and my nephew.
Anyways. :)

I would like to show you a card i made for the new Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge.
This time you could choose between a round or a square card...oooor both! ;)
I choose the circle,i haven't made a  round card in ages.

Seize the Birthday

Hi everyone,

Today i am playing along in the Seize the Birthday "Anyting Goes" Challenge.
They are having the "Topping" option this time...using more than one color ribbon.
I took the Topping option last time...this time i'm not.As my card was getting closer to be finished,i tried different ribbons...and just none would really match or look right,so i just left it! ;)

Here is my card

Life is sweeter...

Hi everyone,

One more for today! :)
Allready working on another card for tomorrow! ;)
Yap...pure addiction! haha

This card i've made for the CASE Study Challenge.I have seen SO many creations lately,that have been made for this Challenge Blog,so i checked it out and they sure have some great inspirations!!
So,this is me giving it a try! :D

Here is the inspiration,a card from Kathy Racoosin...so beautiuful

For some reason i don't own much flower stamps or dies.I have this beautiful Flower Petal Die from My Creative Time,but i've used it so many times lately and i wanted something else on this card.
I keep buying stickers from different companies and never use them.I know...makes NO sence! haha
And as i choose my paper from EP "beautiful life" collection,i thought of the stickers that i bought with it.So in a short way,the flowers on my card come from the EP "beautiful life"sticker sheet.I just added a little stickles and glossy accents for an extra touch! ;)

supplies: American Crafts - Smooth Cardstock, Echo Park - Beautiful Life Papers and Stickers, Her Arts Sentiment, Glossy Accents, Star Dust Stickles, Jenni Bowlin - Weather Vane Ink, Lifestyle Crafts - Nesting Frame 1, Sequins, Cuttlebug - Polka Dot Embowwing folder, Vellum
