2012-01-02T18:08:00.000+01:00

A new year, almost can't believe it! Where did the last go? I thought it was about time a posted something here so I decided to show you my top 15 for 2011 since I haven't been crafting for a while...

A card for mom on Mother's Day. This was my first attempt to colour in grey. Love the Graphic 45 paper.

Cute shape and a really cute image.

Love the bright colours on this one. Cute image from The Greeting Farm.

A vintage man card. Really pleased with this one.

Really enjoying making cards with this folding. :)

My first altered box with a matching card. Love the sweet images.

A birthday gift for mom with her favourite candy... Love the LOTV image.

Blue and brown - love the colour combination

Another card with my favourite folding - in black and pink

Recognise the folding? ;) Love the stamps by Tim Holtz and 7 Gypsies.

More 7 Gypsies... Love, love, love!

Here is that folding again and more 7 Gypsies and Tim Holtz. :)

This image is sooo beautiful.

My first Steam Punk attempt. Love the stamp by Tickle Pink Stamps!

A tea light card and a matchbox. Perfect if you want to light up your day a little. :)

Well... there it is, top 15 2011. Hopefully I will have the time to craft a little bit soon.

Take care.

Let it Snow - By the Cute and Girly

2011-12-01T15:33:00.001+01:00

Time for a new challenge over at By the Cute and Girly. Can't believe that it's December already and before you know it, it's Christmas Eve. :) What could be a more perfect theme for December than...

Let it Snow

This time it's hosted by Tammy.

I'm a little bit sad because this is my final challenge as a design team member of By the Cute and Girly. The school is taking up more and more time and I have less time to craft. :( I want to thank Lora and the rest of the design team for giving me the chance to be a part of this fantastic team and I enjoyed every single minute of it. They actually have a design team call right now so enter it, you wont regret it!

Here is my final card. It's a Snowman Soup card, I saw it on the internet a while ago and I just had to try one myself. The cute image is from The Paper Shelter , who is also sponsoring the design team this month with some fantastic digis and the tutorial for the Pocket card can be find here. The gorgeous white lace snowflakes is from Geraldine's Etsy Store.

Happy Birthday + An Blog Award

2011-02-20T19:07:00.002+01:00

I have been struggling with this card all weekend. I wanted to challenge myself and make another size than the usual 6" x 6". And also I wanted to challenge myself to decorate more than just one side of the card. I'm really pleased with how this card turned out and I hope that the family who "ordered" the card is too. It's a birthday card for a ladie that likes to travel.
