Make my Monday

Make My Monday has this beautiful inspiration photo, to entice us to play in their challenge. You guessed it - I could not resist. Anything on black always just pops - I love that.


I got this beautiful Memory Box die from my blogging friend Sylvie in Gibraltar as part of a give-away I was lucky to win. So that's my first time using it. I colored it with Copics. The sentiment I white embossed - it is from Inkadinkadoo. The butterflies is a Martha Stewart punch.



The card is very different, from what I usually make - I hope you like it!
I linked this card also up with the Simon Says Anything goes challenge.

And in case you don't - perhaps you'll like my cave pictures from my Texas trip. The cave is called "Cave Without A Name. In a naming contest (1940) a young boy suggested that the cave "was too beautiful to have a name". He won the contest and received a 250 dollar cash prize, which was a huge amount of money back then.



The cave was well worth a visit - stunningly beautiful formations.

Auch bei dieser Karte zeigts du wieder viel Geschmack! Ich finde nämlich, dass so eine dunkle Karte ger nicht leicht zu machen ist. Mit diesen zarten, filigranen Stanzteilen hast du ihr ein sehr legeres Aussehen verliehen! Alle Achtung!!
Ich persönlich, hätte mich da sehr schwer getan!

So, jetzt wünsche ich dir und deiner Familie noch ein schönes Osterfest und hoffe dass dein Päckchen bald ankommt! Es ist schon seit 2 Wochen auf der Reise, aber soviel ich gehört habe, kann das bis zu 4-5 Wochen dauern... und ich dachte mir, du bekommst es noch vor Ostern :-(

Ganz liebe Grüße
Rosi

Easter Egg and Bunny

Hi Everyone, I made a bunch of Easter cards, after all its little more than one month and I need to send them out in time... You see, they are all similar - using both the die cut and the negative, that I cut from a die cut egg. The cute bunnies got their yearly appearance - they are from Impression Obsession. the egg is by Lifestyle Crafts. The sentiment is by Papertrey. And here are bigger photos from this set: Linking up with Creative with Stamps - Easter The Paper Players - die cutting Die Cut Divas - animals Happy Little Stampers - anything goes with dies

Dynamic Duos combined with CAS Colours and Sketches

I am getting the hang of combining challenges....not sure if that's good or bad... In the past I would just put all my "creative energy" into one challenge and then just link up with others, if the card just happened to fit...but now I do that on purpose. Well, I'll see how it goes....                           Anyhow here is the card that came out of this: I did not want to add a sentiment - I 'll add it later, when I know who will get it. And here is a close -up: Challenges: Dynamic Duos CAS Colours and Sketches Addicted to Stamps and More Amusing Challenges Materials: Papertrey Background Basics: Super Stripes, Memory Box Chloe Stem die. --X-- Card for Maddy: You may know already about  Maddy ,  who  was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and went through chemotherapy treatment followed by a stem cell transplant from her (then) fifteen year old sister Melanie.  She now has a relapse and this car
