Teddy Stampers Challenge: Sketch time!

Hi there and welcome to a new Teddy Stampers Challenge.
This time we challenge you to use a sketch you can find at the blog :)

As I totally love working with sketches, I also enjoyed playing around with this one.
Used an older stamp (guess it hasn't seen any ink before *oops*) and patterned papers I bought last year, so guess I have to say I used my stash (uhh... but there's still a lot left :)).

Anyways... here's my card:

I don't have a special reason in mind to send this card, it can be used for all kind of celebrations: birth, birthday, etc. etc.

Anyways... thank you very much for coming over. Please join us with this sketch at the blog and please visit the other DT-members as well... thanks!

See you later! :)

Wags'nWhiskers Challenge: More than 1 fold

Hi there!

It's another challenge at the Wags'nWhiskers blog. The theme is "More than one fold". I already made some cards before with more than one fold, but never a card like this one. Love it and it will certainly be a keeper :)

Anyways... here's the card I made:

It was really fun to make. I made this card with Lacey, one of my fave stamps :), who you can buy overhere (Europe & rest of the world) or overhere (for USA & Canada).

Thank you very much for coming over! Would love to leave you a comment when joining us with this challenge.
Don't forget to check out the examples the DT made for this challenge, you can find them on their blogs or on the Wags'nWhiskers blog... thanks!

See you later! :)

DWYT Sketch #74, Magnolia Spring Kit 2011 card

Hi there!

It's Thursday 24th February, 00.00 CET, so time for another DWYT-challenge.
This time the sketch is made by me :)

Wanted something different this time: a round sketch, so I kept experimenting in Photoshop and think this sketch is just perfect for a first try :)
Hope you will like the sketch as well :)

Here's the sketch:

And here's the card I made by using the sketch above. It's got a little story... I almost finished the card I first wanted to make, but then... I received the newest Magnolia Spring Kit 2011 and really wanted to ink those stamps, so that's why I made this card this evening:

Thank you very much for coming over.

Hi there and welcome to another ABC-Challenge I'm in.
Last week Team A made the O for Old fashioned and wow... did I enjoy them a lot! :)

This week it's Team B's turn to create something with the O and it's OVALS.
Used my nestabilities *so in love with them!* and created this card with it:

And a detail of the card, so you can see the glitter:

Used a stamp I have had here for about a year or so, unfortunately the company stopped :(
Luckily I was just in time to order those stamps (this one and loads more others :))

Anyways... thank you very much for coming over. I would really love to leave you a comment, so why don't you just play with the ABC-Challengeblog this week?? Would love to see you there! :)

Basic Grey challenges: Challenge 37 A Sketch

Hi there!


And welcome to another Basic Grey Challenges challenge :)



Oh yeah... knew this for quite a while already and am happy to share that I will be taking part of the designteam from now on *whoowhoo!!*
As a BasicGrey addict it's a fab thing, totally love their papers, embellishments, etc. etc. Have some favorite lines and am happy to share them along the way :) Even though this challengeblog has nothing to do with BasicGrey, besides sharing our creations made with BasicGrey elements, we've got fab sponsors!!

Anyway...back to the challenge...
Heather has made a great sketch we all used for making our cards and this is the card I made with the sketch:

I used the Euphoria-paperpad which, I think, is just perfect to get that flower-powervibe this image has all over. The image is from Spesch Stamps, another DT I'm in and you can find it overhere.

I just loooooooove Spesch Stamps' stamps, as I think they're really cute and happy! I loooooooove being happy!!

Anyways... please join me and the other DT-members at the BasicGrey Challengesblog for more inspiration and we would really love to have you joining us this round :)

Thanks for coming over and see you again :)

Winners Valentine's Day MEGA Blog Hop

Hi there!

It's time to announce the winners of the Valentine's Day MEGA BlogHop :)

But I really want to start with saying a big THANK YOU to all of you who made this MEGA hop a real succes: the people who created all those pieces of art, the fab sponsors and you.. the people that hopped along the way!

Also want to say THANK YOU for all the nice and awesome comments I received during the hop.
Yes, it was huge to make, took me several hours, but I just soooo enjoyed making this piece! Really love it and when other people also love it, it's really nice to hear :)

Anyways... you're here for the winners, right??!!

I got this from Taylor's blog, you should contact her as well... thanks!! :)


It's time to announce the winners from the amazing blog hop this week! First I'd like to thank everyone who played along with us - the ladies who took the time to contribute a project for the hop, the amazing people who left supportive and encouraging comments on SO many blogs, and last but NOT least our generous sponsors! I'm so thrilled that my little nugget of an idea turned into such a virtual love-fest :)


Here's how this worked: I made a list of all the participants, in no particular order. I then went to random.org and asked for 20 numbers*, to give me the blogs to draw winners from. It gave me a couple of multiples, to for those numbers I had my 5 year old give me a number off the top of her head (it took me awhile to explain that any number above 57 was not helpful - she really wanted me to pick something in the millions range). Those numbers determined which participant's blogs would have a prize winning comment. And then I ask each of those people to use random.org to select a winning comment. If that person was unavailable, I did it for them.


If your name is on this list, please use the "Email Me" button at the top of my blog to send me a note. In the Subject line, please put: Valentine's Day Hop Winner. In the email, include your contact info, and what prize you've won. Some prizes will be mailed directly to you from the sponsors, some will be emailed to you (in the case of digis). And please be aware, I'm away from my computer Friday, so you might not hear from me right away. I'm going to give everyone until Sunday night at 6:00 PM EST to claim their prizes, and then I'll draw new winners. That's just over 48 hours :)


Ok, here's the official winner's list (in no particular order)!


Tracey (from Louise Healy's blog) - prize: 5 digi images of the winner's choice from Pink Cat Studio
Ronnie (from Libby Hickson's blog) - prize: 2 Cosmo Cricket 6x6 paper pads from The ScrappyChick

*please note: originally I stated there were 21 winners for this hop. I incorrectly wrote down a sponsor on this list that was actually contributing a prize for another hop that I coordinate. I'm so sorry for any confusion, and hope that you can understand my honest error!

Teddy Stampers Challenge: Pink-Brown-White

Hi there and welcome to a new Teddy Stampers' Challenge. This time the theme is "pink, brown, white", so we'd really like to see creations with these colors AND teddybears :)

Bought this stamp a couple of weeks ago (yes, i do buy the stamps instead of buying stamped images.. people ask me all the time... Just out of RESPECT to the stamppeople who make them and design them). If you want more infor about this, please go to this page:

Anyways... we're here for the Teddy Stampers Challenge and here's the card I made:

And a detailphoto where you can see I used loads of glitter :)
