Sketch Saturday #82

Hi girls, so sorry I've been AWOL for weeks now!
This month has been such a busy month with many celebrations (Sinterklaas, Christmas, birthdays) and I still have some unpacking to do from our move.

My mother asked me to make a card for a friend of her who's turning 50. She wanted a card with a image of an old lady, lol, and I immediatly thought about one of Mo's images. This is the first time I've coloured one of her images, and I have to say, I LOVED it!!

I used this weeks AWESOME 'Sketch Saturday' sketch.

Merry Christmas to all of you!!

Recipe:

Papers: My Minds Eye
Stamp: Mo's Digital Pencil
Colour medium: Copic Sketch Markers
Embellishments: Gems; Melissa Francis, Flower; Prima, Rub ons; Making Memories

Thanks so much for stopping by,

Sketch Saturday #70 - Inky Impressions

Hiya girls, I'm sorry that I haven't been around much the last week, but there is a lot of personal stuff going on. Life's been crazy, let me tell ya. Ah well, that's how it is sometimes and all we can do is try and deal with it as best as we can..

Here is a card I made with one of the little 'Inky Impressions' cuties! This one is called 'Lili's stuffed bunny'. Don't you just love the way she's holding on to her bunny, reminds me so much of my little girls walking around with their stuffed animals, so precious..

I used this weeks 'Sketch Satuday' sketch for this card, but I flipped it.

Don't forget to join us at the Inky Impressions PCP group to have fun, stay up to date and of course to show us all of your fabulous Inky creations!

Papers: Basic Grey 'Bittersweet'

My first Anya..!!

I made this card using the Anya stamp my daughter won at 'Club Anya' a little while back, and of course mama get's to use it too! ;o) I'm so happy she won this stamp, isn't 'Superstar Anya' the cutest? I love her outfit, and what I love most about these stamps is the fact that, no matter what colour you give her hair, Anya always looks gorgeous! So cute!
And yesterday the stamps that I bought at the opening of the new 'Greeting Farm' website finally arrived, and they are even more adorable IRL. They where on my wishlist for a long LONG time, I'm so happy to finally have some of these stamps! So you're going to see a lot more 'Greeting Farm' cards on my blog from now on!

I made this card for the 'Roses on Paper' challenge blog, which is nice and easy (to use a punch and to combine with a sketch challenge of your choice!) and I used the sketch from the 'Sketch Saturday' challenge blog. Hope you like my card!

Just Magnolia #14 - Buttons!

It's Friday, and that means it's time for another Just Magnolia challenge!

This week our sponsor is Hobbycompleet "De Duif " and they have supplied us with this fabulous prize:


The challenge this week is BUTTONS. So any project that has a Magnolia image and buttons will qualify for the prize draw.



For my card I used the paperbag that the sweet and extremely talented Rach sent me (thanks again sweetie xx).
The layout I used for the front of my card is last weeks 'Friday Sketchers' sketch.



For the layout on the inside I used the 'Sketch Saturday' sketch.

I loved creating this card, it was a lot of fun and it's great to put a little gift in and send off to a friend.
I did keep the card quite simple because I didn't have a lot of time.
Did you see the gorgeous paperbag cards my fellow DT members made for the monthly challenge blog? The special monthly challenge sponsored by Simon Says Stamp for a whopping $50 is currently running over on the Just Magnolia Monthly Challenges blog, go and check it out for a chance to win this fabulous prize!

I wanted to thank everyone who has been asking about my little girl, it really means a lot to me and is very much appreciated.
Last friday we had to go back to the hospital and she got a new cast on her leg because they found out she has a hairline fracture just below her knee. She'll have to keep the cast on for another two weeks and then it will (hopefully) be healed.
She did learn how to stand with the plaster on and now she can walk around a little, she's so happy about that and so am I, cuz carrying her around all the time was killing my back, lol.

She loves the colour of her new plastered leg:

All pretty in pink!

Sketch Saturday #58 & TLC228

Hi girls, thank you so much for the comments that you left on yesterday's post, it's truly appreciated.

The card I'm showing you today is another card that I started a couple of days a go and didn't get to finish until this morning. I made this card for the TLC228 challenge on SCS. This weeks challenge was to make a 'Stand up' card, and let me tell you, it's loads of fun and very easy to do! I think I will be doing these more often.
I used this weeks 'Sketch Saturday' sketch for my layout, love that sketch!

I used my adorable 'LiLi's birthday cake' stamp from 'Inky Impressions'. It's my favorite stamp at the moment, she's just too cute!

And some exciting news!!

There is going to be another DT call at 'Inky Impressions' next week, so if you want to join in the fun, keep your eye out for that! I will keep you girls posted.

Last Fridaynight I attended the 'Whiff of Joy' release party for the new stamps, they're called 'Party animals' and they're soo cute! I had so much fun at the release party and I was fortunate enough to win 2 of these gorgeous stamps thanks again Katharina!

I made a birthday card for this weeks sketch challenge on the 'Sketch Saturday' blog. I used a Magnolia image and coloured her with my Derwent Coloursoft pencils. I also used my white gelpen, I to add some accents. Doesn't Tilda look cute in her new dress? ;o) The papers are from MME, I just love the vibrant colours of these papers! I had to use the new cornerpunch I just bought, I couldn't resist LOL. The flowers are from Prima (sweetheart collection) and ofcourse I had to add some *bling* to my card ;o)
