Merry Monday

Hello everyone,

Finaly Friday!!
And finaly tonight,after waiting for so long i get to see my fav show The Walking Dead! :)
Hate when these shows always take such long breaks.

Anyways.
Today i'm gonna show you a card i made for the Merry Monday Challenge.


My take on the Challenge! How i love the new Set the Scene Stamps by Clearly Besotted!! The little snowman is adorable!! I gave him a black nose and realized after it,he almost looks like a Koala!! haha

Warmest Wishes

Hi everyone,

My second post for today...because that's how i roll! :D Na...just kidding...i just had a little bit more crafty time today! :)

My second card now is for the latest Addicted to CAS Challenge " Transparent ", and the Simon Says Stamps Wednesday Challenge "Christmas/Happy Holiday"!



For my card i inked a piece of Cardstock using Distress Ink,i than stamped the tress on it and glued it to my main card base.For the layer,i took white cardstock,and cut a piece out with the same size as the green stamped stripe.I took clear acetate and glued it on the 2 pieces of the layer and popped it up with 3D tape.I know you can not see the acetate,but it's really there! :)

Season's Greetings

Hi everyone,

Happy sunday! :) I hope you all have a relaxing and nice day!!

I realized something today...i can NOT craft card without pattern papers.Yes,i've done it before...well,i think 3 times so far.But if i craft without,than i need some sort of huge focal image,or i use ink to color the cardstock.Since i became a lover of CAS,i tried at least 50 times...they all ended up somewhere in the corner or in the trash! I had a whole different card planed for this weeks CAS(E) this Sketch,and i finished it as well...BUT...it ended up in my not liking corner! So,i started over again,using my beloved pattern paper and now i am feeling compfy again! hehe




Here is my third Christmas card for this year.I will probably be crafting way more cards this year,than i'll need. ;) I placed my second order at Clearly Besotted Stamps today...have you seen their new release? AWESOME! Beautiful Christmas goodies!! :)
For this card i've also used Clearly Besotted Stamps...their "Signature Christmas" Set! LOVE it!!

Seize the Sketch

Happy Saturday everyone,

So,how was your weekend so far? Mine is fine right now.
We planed on taking the kids to downtown,a little shopping and yummy ice cream...but the weather thought that would be a bad idea...rain all day long!! Oh well,the strores won't run away! ;) And with the kids beeing home for Fall break the next two weeks,no need to hurry!

Today i am playing along in the Seize the Sketch Challenge.


I used the beautiful new papers from Echo Park  - 'tis the Season.I love them,because they include some non traditional colors,like black and grey!
The Stamps come from Clearly Besotted Stamps - Merry little Christmas ( bird ) and Signature Christmas ( sentiment )

Guess whoo loves you?

Hi everyone,

I acutaly planed on,not crafting today! Yeah...right!!! ;)
As i was browsing the i-net i saw the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge!
The Challenge...We're going Dotty...
so add some polka dots, spotty designer paper, embossed dots etc.

After thinking a little,i made this card in about 15 minutes...usualy it takes me way longer.Not that my cards look very time consuming,but for some reason most of them take me longer than 30-45 minutes.



And here is my card

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.

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! ;)
