Sending you....

Finally, I've made another card! At the moment we have two little guests (a brother and sister of 9 and 7 years old) who are staying with us for 2,5 weeks. It is organised by Europa Kinderhulp (Europe Children Aid). We've got a great time together, but I have to admit it costs a lot of energy. My craft room has been transferred into a guestroom although the little girl prefers sleeping in the same room as her brother. All her stuff is still in my craft room. But this morning I organised it a bit, took my stuff and created a card under supervision of the two children who had never seen something like that! Next week I will stamp some cards with them, so they can bring them home for their mother and family.

This card is made with This & That - Echo Park. The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink and I distressed the label a bit with tea dye. I've seen many beautiful cards with this colour and I love it! So I ordered finally one myself! I made a frame by stitching (unfortunately a bit crooked). I added a small lace border as the card was still a bit empty. It was the perfect finishing touch.

By the way, for everyone who supported me during my tests in June: I passed all of them. So happy as you can imagine! 

Hopefully, the breaks on this blog will be a bit smaller in the coming period. I hope to find some time for participating in the jubilee challenges of the Lift Challenge Blog. Congrats on the first year, ladies! 

Thank you for coming by!

Happy birthday to my mom!

Today it is my mother's birthday. Of course I made her a card! I used Echo Park This & That - graceful. I combined some papers, a journaling card and a rosette. The sentiment is a Papertrey Filiable stamp + frame. The edges are inked with Ditress 'vintage photo'.

This morning I ordered a couple of stamp sets from Papertrey Ink! As you will understand I'm looking forward to receiving them!! It was a hard choice to find out what sets I'd like to have, because they have so many gorgeous sets.  I ordered some older sets I fall in love with the very first moment they were released.  (Hanging out and Garden Variety) and some newer sets (Rosie Posie and Birthday tags 2012). Hopefully the order will be shipped soon! 

Thanks for hopping by!
