Magnolia Tilda with flowers Summer 2012

Please click here to see my Spectrum Noir blogspot where I made a background with my Spectrum Noir markers. Thank you!

Hi there *again*
I'd like to show you a tag I made recently with some of my fave items on it: white/pink patterned Tilda papers, some doohickeydies and.... Tilda!
Will be using this tag for someone's birthday. Don't you just loooooooove the sentiment?? :)

At home I'm in my Summercleaningmood. Cleaned my kitchen big time and found some items I thought I had lost. So I'm quite happy.


Thanks so much for coming over and hope to see you later this week. Got some more planned :)




Challenges: 
- TOMIC: tag + Tilda with flowers
- Midweek Magnolias: Happy Birthday

Tilda with mouse - Magnolia Summer kit 2012

Hi there!!!


You really can't imagine how happy I was when receiving the Magnolia summerkit today! Really didn't expect it already (even though I thought a few weeks back it would be here any day now...).
The kit is full of lovely fall-image stamps and also some other ones.


As I couldn't wait making a card with one of those stamps... I first had to mount them. Did it last evening and just finished my card (it's just over 1.30 am overhere!!).
When mounted all the stamps, I just knew I wanted to use BasicGrey's Mellow papers. It's a really old line, but I totally love those fall colors a lot!
In fact, my fave season has to be fall as I really love all the pretty colors Mother Nature gives us.


Off course I colored the image with my Spectrum Noir markers. Totally love them and they're sooooooooo easy to work with!!


Anyways... back to the card... here it is... Enjoy ;)

Oh, I'm sorry *lol*...hehe... just wanted to tease you all... *smile*


Here's the card :)

Thanks so much for coming over and hope to see you later today for a new ABC Challenge blogpost.

Wags'nWhiskers challenge: Kraft

Hi there and welcome to another Wags'nWhiskers challenge!

This time we like to see KRAFT on your project and let's be honest, who doesn't like kraft??!! It's so versatile and can be with almost any color.
For my project I wanted to make a 70's kinda look. Just loooooooooove those patterned papers!
Also used "Hannah", my most used Wags'nWhiskers stamp. I just loooooooove her and she's so versatile to use for different kind of cards.

Anyways... here's my card, colored with my Speccies (or Spectrum Noirs as they're called officially ;))

Wags'nWhiskers Challenge: 1, 2, 3

Hi there and welcome to another Wags'nWhiskers Challenge :)
Hi en welkom bij een nieuwe Wags'nWhiskers Challenge :)

This challenge we'd like to see 1, 2, and 3 items on your card: 1 image, 2 ribbons and 3 designer papers.
I used one of my most used Wags'nWhiskers Images Hannah. Used her on so many cards/projects already and can't get enough of her.
Ditmaal willen we 1, 2, 3 items op je kaart zien: 1 afdrukje, 2 lintjes en 3 designer papiertjes.
Ik heb één van m'n meest gebruikte Wags'nWhiskers stempels weer eens gebruikt: Hannah. Ik heb haar al zoveel afgedrukt (klinkt niet echt lekker...hahah) voor kaarten en projecten, maar kan niet genoeg van dit schattige stempeltje krijgen.

For the designer papers, I used my all time fav manufacturer Basic Grey. I really must stop buying those papers... got so many left :) But nowadays I almost only buy the paperpads to make cards with.
I didn't use any sentiment or much embellishments on the card, so I can use it for all kind of occasions.
Voor het designerpapier heb ik weer eens gebruik gemaakt van mijn aloude favoriete papiermerk Basic Grey. Ik moet echt stoppen met het kopen van die papiertjes... heb er nog zoveel :) Maar tegenwoordig koop ik eigenlijk alleen nog maar hun paperpads om kaarten mee te maken.
Ik heb geen tekst op het kaartje gebruikt, evenals zeer weinig embellishments, zodat ik dit kaartje voor diverse gelegenheden kan gebruiken.

Anyways... here's my project for this challenge:
Anyways... hier is mijn project voor deze challenge:

Christmas 2012 Magnolia Tilda card: Some of my fave things

Hi there and welcome!

Today I like to show you another Christmascard..... Almost there for this year *whoowhoo*, but will be making them all year long as it will get the pressure of a lot for me! :)
It's made with one of my most used Magnolia-stamps. This one is so versatile, using it for both Christmas as birthdaycards. Love it!

Used some of a Authentique paperpad. I totally love red and green, they're my fave colors.
Also used one of my fave ever sentiment stampsets from PTI (oh, I sure do love them!!).

So here it is... a card with a lot of my fave items on it :)

Thank you so much for coming over! Hope to see you again later on :)

Magnolia fairy Tilda 2012

Hi there and happy Sunday!

Only 1 more sleep till Queen's Day and they predict some very great weather with loads of sunshine *whoowhoo!*
Really can't wait till tomorrow, always love that day when everyone seems to be happy, selling loads of stuff (or garbage as I sometimes think *lol*).
I will be there as well, only not selling stuff, but facepainting. Really love doing that as well in my free time and at work.

Anyways... want to show you a card I made with items I bought at the AS-event earlier this month.
Really love this stamp and it was sold out within an hour!!
There were also 2 other people at a booth buying the same paper, and they challenged me to use it, so here it is.

A detailphoto... I really love the way I colored Tilda :)

Thanks so much for coming over! Hope to see you again later on :)

LIM: Three shades of Green

Hi there and happy Saturday!

Oh, it's almost there... Easter! It's said this Easter will be colder than last Christmas and guess they're right... had to put my heater on several times last week, while it was a lot warmer a few weeks back.
Anyways... here's another CAS-card from me today.
Please click here for the MCSC-challengepost. Thanks!

On Saturday, one of my fave CAS-challenges goes live, and so it did today.
This time we had to use 3 shades of green.
I pulled out all my SU-greens and came to the conclusion to use Pear Pizazz, Wild Wasabi and Certainly Celery for this challenge. Love those colors together!
And here's the card, used a sketch from my stash (don't know where it came from, if it's yours, I will be happy to give you credit!!)

Thanks so much for coming over and hope to see you later! :)

ABC Challenge: M for Magical

Hi there on April Fool's Day! :)

Hope you'll enjoy today as much as I will. Am off to a crafty fair and am really looking forward to it. (the trains have some different routes as normal, so it takes too long before I'm there... no fair for me *sniff*)
Today I like to show you a card for the ABC Challenge DT and this time it's the "M for Magical".
Don't you just loooooooooooooove all those Magnolia fairies?? I sure do, but when I came across some of my fave challengeblogs, I knew I just had to use this stamp. Think I bought it from someone, but am not sure anymore, it's one of those "never used" stamps overhere ;)

But here you have my card:

And a detailphoto:

Thank you very much for coming over. Hope to see you again soon and love to see you coming to the ABC Challengeblog and have some fun with our challenge! :)
Like to wish you all a very magical day :)

BG Challenges: Easter 2012 featuring Magnolia

Hi there and happy Saturday to you all!

It was Spring last week, but the last couple of days it's grey and cold! But hopefully this Magnolia Eastercard will bring some warmth and sunshine :)

Today it's time for another BasicGrey Challenge and the theme is "Easter".
Made it with a BasicGrey Picadilly 6x6 paperpad. Love the colors of it!
I couldn't resist using a Magnolia on the card. Love them a lot, but for some reason the Easterstamps aren't among my faves. But well... I like this one, reminds me of my childhood.. painting eggs, hide them and search for them in the livingroom.

But you're here for the card, so here it is...

Thanks so much for coming over! Hope to see you again soon :)

Basic Grey challenges: Mother's Day/Girlie

Good morning!

Thanks for visiting my blog. It's Saturday and it's been 2 weeks since the last Basic Grey challenge, so it's time for a new one and it's called "Mother's Day/Girlie".
I choose for the Girlie theme, but the image is also ok for a Mother's Day card ;)

Ohhhhhhhh... I bought this stamp in London last year and never inked it up, so it was time to do so and here's the result :)

I used the "Hello Luscious" 6x6 BasicGrey paperpad, perfect for girlie cards :)

Thanks for visiting me, hope to see you again later.
Please go to the BasicGrey challengesblog to see the creations the other DT-members made AND to participate yourself ;)

Magnolia Tilda card: From my garden to your heart

Hi there!

Oh my... another post for me today... don't get too used to it ;)
When surfing the internet, I found some awesome Magnolia-challenges which are perfect to combine, so I came up with a card with Tilda stamped on it.
It's one of my Maggie's I haven't used before, so it was time to ink her up.

It was a real challenge to find some matching orange-pink patterned papers, but in my collection of BasicGrey paperpads, I just found the best: Green at Heart. Pink and orange in one paperpad... GREAT!!
It's an old paperpad, but I'm someone who likes to keep things as "it will be needed some day in the future" *lol*

Thanks for coming over and hope to see you again! :)


Challenges:
- Totally Tilda: Diecuts and punches
- Simply Magnolia: Bling and bows

Winter Magnolia card - Tilda with snowflakes

Hi there!

Thank you all so much for your comments!!
Today I have a Magnolia card for you all. It's made with an awesome Tilda, love her. It's a Tilda made for an event overhere in The Netherlands and hasn't been released since, so very exclusive :)
Hi!
Bedankt voor al jullie reacties!
Vandaag heb ik een Magnoliakaartje. Het is gemaakt met een geweldige Tilda. Het is gemaakt voor het Magnolia-Event, exclusief :)

Anyways... I think this is one of the Magnolia stamps I love most for making wintercards, so that's what I did :)
As you might know (wrote it several times overhere, if not... here's again...) I'm totally not a bling-bling girl, but... I guess some Stickles and rhinestones/gems are the perfect accessorize for cards.
And when it comes to choosing between diamonds and pearls, my heart goes to diamonds, just because they shine so pretty in the light.
Anyways... Ik denk dat dit één van m'n favo Magnoliastempels is om winterkaarten mee te maken, dus dat is wat ik heb gedaan :)
Zoals je misschien zult weten (heb het er al meerdere keren over gehad, zo niet, hier is het opnieuw...)
Ik ben totaal geen bling-bling girlie, maar... wat Stickles en rhinestones/gems zijn volgens mij de perfecte accessorize voor kaarten.
En als het gaat om te kiezen tussen diamanten en parels, dan gaat mijn hart tocht uit naar diamanten, gewoon omdat ze zo mooi schitteren in het licht.

Anyways... I'll stop talking... here's my card:
Anyways... ik stop maar eens met praten, hier is mijn kaart:

And a detailphoto, so you can see all the bling a bit better:
En een detailfoto, zodat je de bling een beetje beter kunt zien:

So there you have it... a Magnolia card with my fave winter Tilda on it.
Thank you very much for coming over. Hope to see you again!
Zo... dat was het weer, een Magnoliakaart met mijn favo winter Tilda erop. Het twine komt uit m'n shoppie: !ScrappingAngel
Bedankt voor het langskomen. Ik hoop je snel weer te mogen begroeten! :)

Papertrey Ink January bloghop

Hi there!


Sorry for my long, very long, absence, but have (and still am) ill.
Terrible sickness, pain in my ear, throat and during the last couple of days my back as well. Luckily it's getting better every day, but not that great though... ah well.. there are worse things in life!
Hi daar!
Het spijt me voor m'n lange afwezigheid, maar was (en ben nog steeds) ziek.
Verschrikkelijk misselijk, oorpijn, keelpijn en als klap op de vuurpijl ook rugpijn. Gelukkig gaat het iedere dag steeds beter, maar nog niet zo goed als ik zou willen... ach ja, er zijn ergere dingen in het leven!


Back to topic... there's a Papertrey Ink bloghop going on at the moment and there's a challenge involved as well, which is the following:

This month, in honor of the new year, we are challenging you to pick your favorite project from 2011 and share it with all of us! To take it a step further, you are also challenged to create a second card that is inspired by the favorite project you select. Your new version of an old favorite could carry over the color scheme, the layout or the stamp sets. We look forward to seeing your best creations from 2011 as well as one of your first projects for 2012!

Back to topic.
Er is een nieuwe Papertrey Ink bloghop.
Deze maand dagen ze je uit om je favo project van 2011 uit te kiezen en te laten zien. En om een stapje verder te gaan, word je ook uitgedaagd om een tweede kaart te maken die gebaseerd is op je favo project.




So... here's one of my fave projects of last year. Really love the simplicity of the card, but so love the effect it gives.
Send this card last Christmas to some family and hopefully they have enjoyed the card as much as I liked making it!
Hier is één van m'n favo projecten. Ik houd van de simpelheid van deze kaart, maar het geeft zo'n geweldig effect.
Heb deze kaart afgelopen Kerst naar familie gestuurd en hopelijk hebben ze hiervan genoten.

And this is what I made of it this time. Totally different, but still the same shape and stitches :)
Used my newest paper (I'm already in love with this white cardstock!!! Loooooooove it!!), dies and stamps on this project (oh... I just looooooooove combining them!) and popped the image a bit with some 3d-foam.
At this moment this card will be heading to Canada :)
Thanks so much Elena for your sweet comment! I hope your sweetie will love it :) It's a pleasure to send it to you.
En dit is wat ik er deze keer van heb gemaakt. Iets totaal anders, maar nog steeds dezelfde vorm en stiksels :)
Heb m'n nieuwste papier gebruikt (ben op slag verliefd op dit geweldige witte cardstock!!!), dies en stempels en heb het plaatje met wat 3d-tape verhoogd.
Op dit moment is deze kaart op weg naar Canada :)
Bedankt Elena voor je lieve comment!

And a detailphoto...



Thank you very much for hopping with me :)
Go to Nichole's blog for some more inspiration.

See you all later (and hopefully I'm better by then!).

ABC Challenge: H for Happy birthday! Magnolia Card

Even though I have to wait 8 months till people can say this to me, over at the ABC Challengeblog we have this challenge: H for Happy Birthday!
Ook al moet ik nog 8 maanden wachten voordat mensen dit tegen mij kunnen zeggen, bij het ABC Challengeblog hebben we deze challenge: H voor Happy Birthday!

I used a Magnolia stamp I recently bought from someone else and it's just perfect for this challenge, so am quite happy with it :)
Ik heb een Magnolia stempel gebruikt die ik laatst van iemand overgenomen heb en deze is dus perfect voor deze challenge, dus ben er behoorlijk blij mee :) (en anders had ik wel een andere stempel in "de collectie" die bij deze challenge past)

Wanted to combine some Magnolia challenges, so this is what I made:
Ik wilde een aantal Magnolia challenges combineren, dus dit is wat ik ervan heb gemaakt:

And a detailphoto so you can see all the glitter...

Actually I made 2 colored images, but the first one... uhhmm... thought it was ok to put on the glitter first and than ran through my bigshot with the nesties.... wrong thought! :)
So my image was with loads of glitter and had to make another one... ah well... another experience what I probably won't do again *smile*
Eigenlijk heb ik 2 plaatjes ingekleurd, maar de eerste.. uuhhmmm... ik dacht dat het geen kwaad kon om eerst glitter op het plaatje te doen en dan door de bigshot met de nesties... verkeerde gedachte! :)
Dus dat plaatje zat vol glitter en had dus een nieuwe te maken... nou ja... een ervaring die ik waarschijnlijk niet meer zal nadoen *smile*

Anyways... hope you like the card, now it's your turn to take part in this challenge. We would love to have you join us! :)
Please go to the ABC Challengeblog for the creations the other DT-members have made.
Anyways... ik hoop dat je de kaart een beetje leuk zult vinden, nu is het aan jullie om ook gezellig mee te doen met deze challenge. We zouden het ontzettend leuk vinden als je mee zou doen! :)
En neem direct een kijkje op het ABC Challengeblog voor de creaties van de andere DT-leden.

Thank you very much for coming over and see you later! :)
Bedankt voor het komen en tot gauw! :)

WnW challenge: White on white + one pop of color

Hi there and welcome to a new Wags'nWhiskers Challenge! :)
Aloha en welkom bij een nieuwe Wags'nWhiskers Challenge! :)

This challenge we would like to see creations that go with the following: White on white plus one pop of color.
As red is my fave color, it wasn't a hard decision to make, but... it was hard which cute stamp I had to ink though... Wags'nWhiskers have so many gorgeous and cute stamps, it was hard to decide, but... I made up my mind and choose Rosalie as the lucky stamp to be inked.
Ditmaal willen we graag creaties zien die voldoen aan het volgende critirium:
Wit op wit met één uitspringende kleur.
Aangezien rood mijn favo kleur is, was het niet moeilijk om te beslissen, maar... ik vond het wel moeilijk om te beslissen welke stempel ik zou gaan beinkten... Wags'nWhiskers heeft zoveel geweldige en schattige stempels, dat het moeilijk beslissen was, maar... het is gelukt en het is Rosalie geworden.

And this is my creation...

Guess you can use this card for many occasions, so I didn't put a text on/in it.

So.. what are you waiting for?? Get creating and visit the Wags'nWhiskers Challengeblog for more info :)

Thanks for coming over and hope to see you again! :)
Deze kaart kun je voor diverse gelegenheden gebruiken, dus heb er geen tekst op/in gezet.
Dus...waar wacht je nog op?? Ga iets maken en bezoek het Wags'nWhiskers challengeblog voor meer info :)
Bedankt voor het langskomen en hoop je opnieuw te mogen begroeten! :)


Challenges:
- Flutterby Wednesdays: Open (but use fairy, butterfly etc.)

A Very Happy New Magnolia Year 2012!

Hi there and what better way to wish you a very happy 2012 than by showing you a Magnoliacard, specially with Celebration Tilda on it! :)
Hi en ik kan op geen betere manier jullie een geweldig 2012 toewensen, dan deze Magnoliacard te laten zien, vooral omdat Celebration Tilda erop zit! :)

I hope all your wishes and dreams may come true, loads of love and off course a very creative 2012!
Ik hoop dat al jullie wensen en dromen waar zullen worden, heeeeeeeel veel liefde en natuurlijk een zeer creatief 2012!

Made this card with Celebration Tilda. It was an exclusive about some months ago to a shop in The Netherlands, so was quite surprised it was showing up in the newest Magnolia release (I'll be waiting a few months in the future, it will save me some money, cos it's cheaper at this release ;))
Ik heb deze kaart met Celebration Tilda gemaakt. Het was een aantal maanden een exclusieve stempel voor een winkel hier in NL, dus ik was op z'n zachtst gezegd verbaasd toen deze in de nieuwste Magnolia release verscheen (ik wacht dus voortaan wel een paar maanden, scheelt ook weer geld, want deze is nu ook goedkoper ;))


Anyways... enjoy :)
Anyways... geniet :)

And a detail...
En een detail...
