TIOT - Valentine Challenge

Hej ladies!

It's time for another challenge - and as we all know - Valentine's Day is getting closer.
Suzanne challenged us to use the colours Pink, Red and Purple.

I inked up cute little Daisy and coloured her with my copics. Picked up matching Basic Grey and Kaisercraft DPs. Added Hydrangeas and pink miniroses in the center.
The "text-stamp" is sent to me from my sweet friend Lim. Finally I had to add
some pink pearls ;-)


Here's a close up of little Daisy. If you look closely - you can see that I tried the feather technique shown on the copic creations blog (where Susana is sponsoring the fab prize).

Kram and hope that you will join us.

PS. Sorry for the short post - but Isac is still having high fever and need his Mom.

Pink, brown and cream

Yes - it's time for another RoP/BnW challenge. This time it's Susan that decided to challenge us with the colours Pink, Brown and Cream. But before I tell you more about the card - I need to say HAPPY B'DAY Victoria (my niece) - who turns 11 today!

I decided to use my new Basic Grey DPs together with my little Anya from the Rain, Snow and Shine collection. Coloured her with my copics and added highlights with my white gel pen.

Sentiment - Memories -from SU. Punched out matching flowers and added pink pearls in the center.

Also - sorry for the very short post today - but Isac came down with fever yesterday - so he's been "glued" to his Mom.

Looking fwd to see what you will come up with.

Valentine box

Hej!

It's getting closer and closer to Valentine's Day and I decided to make this little Valetine's box.
I purchased the tutorial regarding the box from Becky. Must say that I'm pleased with how it turned out.

Filled the box with an altered matchbox and candle, a post-it-note holder and of course some chocolate:-)

The tutorial for the post-it-note holder is from Angie Juda. Here's a close up.

Close up of the chocolate. Made the box out of acetate sheet.

I also made a matching card to go with the box.

All supplies are from our local craftshop Pysselakuten - except the Ribbon and 3 of the stamps - they are from SU. Hope you like it and try to make one yourself.

Have a wonderful Saturday.

I love you more than the moon

Here's a card that I made for our local shop - Pysselakuten. The cute little stamps is one of the stamps that were in the latest Cardmaking and Papercraft magazine. Isn't he just stinking cute!!?

I coloured the image with my copics. Decided to cut the DP in 4 squares and made sure that the sentiment "I love your more than the moon" was visible

Added some flowers, pearls and a ribbon - and there you have it!
Must say that I am pleased with this one.

Hope you like it and looking fwd to hear from you as always!

February is here

and so is another Try it out Tuesday. This week we are going to use Suzanne's fun and fab sketch below.

After a long day at work and then almost 3 hours on our garage roof (yesterday afternoon/evening) I decided that I was longing for Spring ;-) So it was just perfect that I received my order from Susana with the new Basic Grey DP - Sugar Rush last week! Love them and the other DPs I ordered.

I coloured sweet Emma with my copics - just love her and cut her out. Then I cut two circles with my nesties - one round and the other scalloped - since I wanted it to look like a huge flower. Layered Emma in front of them.

Added a few Bella Baubles and prima flowers. Yes - I received my mini prima roses from Susana and I know that I will be coming back for more soon :-).

Also - I hope you've noticed - Susana has new products in store for us. Happy that she made the CHA tour ;-)) Here are a few items that I've noted down on my next shopping list:

* Martha Stewart Tinsel

* Magic Mesh

* Flower Soft

Looking fwd to hear from you.

PS. You might wonder what I did for so many hours on our garage roof - well - I had to take away all the snow - (more than 50 cm) to make sure that the roof did not break. You should see my biceps after this winter - hm.......HUGE ;-)

Card for little Daan!

My dear blogfriend Renata asked me if I could help her to get the word out for a young little guy - Daan. Daan is 4 years old and has a brain tumor - which is sadly incurable.

Read more below from Renata and I hope you will join us and support this little boy in his struggle.

From Renata:

"Dear blogfriends, I know you all love to make cards so what's better than to do something you realy enjoy and at the same time make a little boy happy in the most difficult time of his young life?

Daan, the son of my sisters friend, is 4 years old and has a brain tumor which is sadly enough incurable. More and more body functions fail such as his legs can't carry him anymore. At the moment he gets radiation because his parents and the doctors will make his life as easy as possible and of course no one will loose hope!

I think it is heartbreaking and I'm so sad that I can't do anything to help him! That's why I aks you girls to make him a funny card so he has something good to look forward to and I think it will help his parents and two little sisters (Sacha (6) and Anna (2)) as well.

I also want to ask you to keep him in you prayers or send a little positive energy and thoughts to him, because you never know! Do you want to join in this small gesture, please send an e-mail to creatiefonline@upcmail.nl so I can send you the address you can send the card to. I like to thank you from the bottom of my heart! Love, Renata"

I know what I will be doing first thing tomorrow after work - a fun boyish card for Daan. I'm sure Isac will help me too - he love making cards and being the same age as Daan - then he def. know what a 4 year old boy will like. I hope you will join us for this good cause!

My thoughts and prayers to Daan and his family.

Wishing you love

Happy Saturday ladies!

It's going to be a quick post from me today - since we've promised Isac a stop at the toy store. You've seen her before,but isn't she adorable?

She's perfect for Valentine's Day that is around the corner (can you belive it - January is almost gone...). Went for a clean layout - hope you like it - using my SU DPs, added roses - a girls must have of course - a couple of dew drops and the SU sentiment.

Hope you like it and have a wonderful Saturday! If you've managed to create a card or project using this cute little image - please leave a comment with a link so I can find it.
