More cards!

Hey everyone,

First of all, I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy 2013 together with family and friends. 

I'm having a Christmas-break for the moment together with kids and husband.  That's great, because we usually have such busy lives that it feels like we don't spend much time together.  My sister in law came with a surprise. They've rented a cottage for 2 weeks in Ieper and they've invited us to spend some time together with them.  So we're leaving on friday and spend new year's eve over there also. We have a few activities on our schedule, go bowling, iceskating,.. .  I just need to make sure that I have some paper and stamps with me for cards that I want to make LOL!

Ok, but here are some more Xmas-cards that I made:

  

 

 

A birthday card for my brother:

 

The addressbook that I made as a present for my mother in law:

I still had some vintage paterened paper and used it to cover the cardboard for the adressbook.  I've used the embellishments that came with the paper and completed it with a flower, some lace ribbon and stick on pearls.

 

And last but not least, my LO for the CSC #04 from Creanijn:

I used pink cardstock an 1 sheet of patterened paper from BasicGrey. I've added some glitterglue and tried to doodle (not from a stencil but freehand) and for a first timer it's not that bad. Also added 2 butterflies.  I used a chipboard butterfly and drew on a sheet of patterened paper and cut it out. 

About the title: Pretty in Pink.  On the left is my daughter and on the right is her niece Fran, they were in their 'I'm wearing nothing but pink' period, so this would make a fantastic title!

 





 

Ok, everyone, that's it for now, I'll see you back after the holidays. Enjoy!

Next challenge and going on!

Hey everyone,

First things first: Yeeha, I've won the challenge SCS #3 from Creanijn.  I was really exited about that, walking on clowds, ....  .  This is an extra kick to keep doing what I like to do.

So here's my entry for the challenge CKC from Creanijn.  I had empty card lying arround and one of those matched the paper with dots I wanted to use.  The paper is from a X-mascollection (can't remember which one).  I have this stamp from an owl with his hat and scarf on, so very lovely, and I colored it with X-mascolors. I used some burgundyred ribbon and some green buttons.

 

I know I don't post as often as I did in the beginning but I haven't been lazy.  I was working on invitations for my parents in law weddinganniversary.  And I've made a lot of progress.


2 new LO to show.

1: Going to the beach and having fun.  I used blue and white cardstock and 1 sheet of patterend paper from SeaGlass from KC & Company.  From that leftover I've cut 2 flowers that I've put on each other with 3D-tape and added glitterglue for the flowerstamps.

 

 

2: A day out in the town with grandpa and grandma.  I used white cardstock and 1 sheet of patterend paper.  I've cut 1 big cirkle and lots of smaller cirkles out of the patterened paper.  I positionned the pictures so they would fit inside the big cirkle.  The small cirkles are embellishments, but also 2 flowers.

 

 

 

Some more X-mascards:

 

 

 

 

And last but not least, I'm trying to make an adressbook.  I found this template for adressinformation somewhere on the internet and I thought this would make a nice X-maspresent for my mother in law.  I know she appreciates those kind of things.  The template is about 20.5x20.5 cm so I've cut cardboard in squares of 21x21cm.  I've covered them with patterened paper from the ... collection.  I've printed the template on thicker paper so that's it's nice and firm to write on.  At the Pipoosstore in Sint-Niklaas I've bought clickrings so more pages can be added if necessary.  And then as last thing to do, add embellishments and gift wrap it :-) . Pictures follow.

See you next time
