Baby banner

A couple of weeks ago I made a banner for a newborn baby with stars (here). Yesterday I made again a banner for a newborn baby girl. And now I used circles and instead of brads I used twine.



Paper is from Jillibean ( I bought a lot of this paperline in stock...) Letters are made with the cuttlekids alphabeth. I hope that the postman will take care of this post item!

Thanks for visiting!

Blossom Soup

This card is made with Jillibean's Blossom Soup! Easy peasy but a nice effect, don't you think?

Have a nice weekend!

Candy shops & a baby card

As I told you we have visited Cambridge. And there were lovely shops! One of them was a real candy shop. To be honest, I really don't have a sweet tooth, but the view of all those candies was stunning.

Many other shops seemed like candy shops, because of all the beautiful stuff which was sold overthere. Off course we visited the Cath Kidston Store. I bought this beautiful wallet:

 The shops were in lovely streets with a lot of suprises.

And as card lovers, we love postboxes, don't we? And this is a much better one than our Dutch one's, isn't it?



I didn't see any papercraft shop, but I have bought some ribbon in CallyCo to use for cards. So I made a baby card with this ribbon. The background is stamped with WMS Off Beat and the paper is by Jillibean. The sentiment is by Eline Pellinkhof.

Hm, the colors are in fact more bright. But you've got an idea!

Thanks for visiting!



New stock

I'm back home from Cambridge, UK. We had a very nice week in a beautiful city! And it was a very useful week for the language study! For this week I have totally dived into the books for the tests this week and next week. But there are some small gaps for relaxing in on my 'atelier' with all the paper stuff and so on! It is my plan to make some cards to have in stock. Today's cards is (again!) made with Emma's shoppe. The background is stamped with WMS - Off beat in sunflower yellow. I don't have a stamp to frame the label nr 4, so I made my own by using a stamp from the PTI Vintage labels 1.

The sentiment stamp is part of a set by Artemio and I have bought it at Crafts and Things in Antwerpen, Belgium. I love this set, because of the nice font and the Dutch sentiments (congratulations). I don't like most of the Dutch sentiment, because of the font. So if anyone can design something in a WMS or PTI style in Dutch, I will be your first client!

Back to work for today! Thanks for coming by! 

It's a boy!

I love this line from Jillibean and have made many cards with these car-circles. Ideal for baby cards or a birthday of a boy.

The background is stamped with Off Beat from Waltzingmouse!



Busy with chores before I leave for Cambridge. Looking forward to it!

Have a nice weekend!

Oldie again

Dear all,

I have to study a lot these days for the tests in June (teacher training course for English), so no card making or anything like that. Today I show you one from the old box, but still a nice one! Very easy, but great effect. Well, okay, that's my opinion!
 I used paper from October afternoon. I sent it to my niece and she showed it for a long time in her living room!

For our 6th wedding anniversary last Friday my husband booked a Bed & Breakfast. It was a cosy room and I fell in love with the veranda. Unfortunately the weather wasn't so warm to use it!

And next trip is waiting. Next Saturday a friend and I will go to Cambridge, UK. We'll attend a Language School. It is part of my course. Not the worst part, I guess! If anyone knows a craft store, please let me know!

Thanks for visiting!

WMS sketch challenge 48

Hi!

I made this card for our aunt and uncle who have been married for 50 years! I used the sketch from WMSC and paper from Emma's shoppe (Crate paper). The background is from the WMS Off Beat stamp set and I stamped it with Antique Linen.The flower die is from Marianne Design.
Thank you, Edna, for this sketch!

Thanks for coming by!

I made some cards!

Life seems almost normal after a week in Romania. Laundry is done, the mess is away and the students who were with us last week in Romania for the exhange program gave us a very good mark for the organisation! That gives a good feeling! And time to make some cards!

The first card is a 'get well' card! I stamped a background with 'text it' from Waltzingmouse Stamps and antique linen ink and I used a flower from the stampset 'up, up and away' from PTI. I stitched with the sewing machine without a thread. So you get just some holes, but it gives a nice detail to the card.

The post stamps are from PTI. Unfortunatly I don't have this set, but Marit offered me to have swap. Thanks a lot, Marit!! It is a pity that dispatching from PTI (the USA) is so expensive. PTI has so many beautiful stamp sets. So if you know someone who could arrange something, let me know :)

The other one is a 'with sympathy' card. I used again the doily stamps from MME. I love this set. I stamped again a background with 'text it' and stamped the doily with Paris Dusk from Memento.



Have a nice weekend!

I'm back!

Hi all!

I'm back home after a wonderful week in Romania with very nice students, beautiful weather and many great meetings with friends overthere! Now trying to find my rythm back, but have some difficulties with it :)
I haven't made any card yet. So I show an older one for today. It was one of my first cards where I used antique linen ink from Ranger. Now I use it almost every time!

And I like to share some of the pictures of last Wednesday when we made a trip to a salt mine and a canyon in Romania! This country has so many beautiful places. Unfortunately, most people still have a wrong image of this country. So a little PR will help maybe!

Thanks for visiting!

Thinking of you

I made this card for friends who have been going through difficult times. I hope it cheers them up a little bit.

As you can see Emma's shoppe is my favorite at this moment :) Although there are many more beautiful paper lines. Maybe my next challenge is to make a card with another paper line!

I have started the countdown for my trip to Romania. Next Thursday I'll leave for 9 days with a groups of teenagers for an exchange with a school in Cluj-Napoca. Looking forward to see friends and acquintances overthere! So, I'm not sure when posting the next message!

See you!
