Blue Winter...

Yesterday I made a card for the Sketch Saturday challenge. I was so into my work that it suddenly struck me that the sun had already set and so I had to photograph the card under artificial light. The colours were so disappointing that I decided to wait until today and photograph the card under daylight. Too late for the challenge deadline of course but I wanted to share the result with you anyway. Sketch from Sketch Saturday:
The paper and ribbon I used are from the Action and the stamp I used is from the Greeting Farm! Have a nive evening all!

Pink and Purple Birthday Girl..

Today I had to make a birthday card because my eldest sister will turn 31 this Friday. She isn't really my sister but has been the best friend of my real sister since I've been born, so I grow up with her around. She is a very enthusiastic woman who still likes girly stuff so I decided to make a really girly card for her with only pink and purple. I found a nice sketch on the Create4fun Challenge to make the card. The sketch from Create4fun: The paper and ribbon I used are from the Action and the stamp I used is from the Greeting Farm. I love this stamp, it's really my favorite! I embossed the flower circle with a mal from Joy Crafts (6001/0008) and used Stickles (Fruit Punch and Purple)

Good Luck Cat..

Soooooo I'm going to show you my newest creation, which I have been waiting for in the last two weeks! The sketch is from the Moving along with the Times Challenge and for the first time I used a sentiment in Dutch. I had a good reason for that; the Paperplay Challenge asks for text in something different than English! The text means "Good Luck" The sketch from Moving along with the Times: The card is made from paper from the dcwv mini stack #3 and the stamp I used is from Penny Black called "Bibliophile". The sentiment was written in Word and printed!

I'm Back!!

I’m soooooo happy to be back. The last two weeks were horrible! A few weeks ago I decided to put an end to 11 years of smoking, but I found it to hard to quit without some help. So I went to my doctor and he gave me medication called “Champix”. You have to take these pills 2 weeks before you plan to quit smoking. I did, but the medication had a lot of side effects. After the first week I became a little depressed and languid. I wanted to make cards but couldn’t get started. After days going crazy I decided to go back to my doctor and he reduced the medication. I’m sooooo happy that I made a new card, that I’ll show you all later today. First I should thank many of you for the sweet messages that you left here!
