Less is More #125 and a second card for Maddy


Its Jen Nelson's Birthday over at Less is More. And she tells us she likes fish, cats and butterflies! Since I just made some fish cards its now turn for a cat card. After all I just got this sassy cat stamp from Technique Tuesday - I had to use it!




The sentiment is taken from the same Technique Tuesday set and from Paper Smooches. The yellow and grey stripes I made with the Papertrey Watercolor Wonder set. 

Well Jen, Happy Birthday to you and I hope you like my card!

I am also linkin this card with the CAS on Sunday - One layer wonder challenge.

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 card drive is going on to help her lift her spirits. I made this card in the flickr Hero Arts scramble last weekend and promised to send all my cards to Maddy. My first one she has already....On this card I just had to change the sentiment to fit - originally I had made a birthday card.....


There is a card drive going on at Simon Says - go and make a card for Maddy and link it up at SSS - perhaps you'll win the $100 shopping voucher!


Materials: circle die cut from Spellbinders,  Hero Arts Silhouette Bells stamp, Hero Arts Antique Engravings sentiment HA Sending Smiles Messages

Also die erste ist für meinen Geschmack ganz einfach genial!! Ich liebe dieses Motiv und die Farbwahl ist mal wieder erstklassig!
Die zweite, ein bisschen verträumter, ist auch sehr schön und sie wird Maddy bestimmt auch gefallen.
Mensch, was habe ich da gelesen!!! --- du fliegst ins Heimatland, wow.....ich beneide dich! Ich war zwar heuer schon dort aber wäre gleich nochmals Startbereit ....leider wird daraus nichts werden :((
Ich wünsche dir einen tollen und erholsamen Urlaub und vielleicht ist es gar nicht so verregnet. *daumendrück*

Bis bald Rosi

Addicted to Stamps and More #134 and Spotlight Sneak Peek

Hi Everyone, Its challenge time at  ATSM ! For the next two week its going to be CAS - just my thing! And hopefully yours, too! I made a birthday card, because for some reason I always need more and never seem to have enough.... I was inspired by this weeks Make it Monday , where the talented  Ashley Newell  shows us a video about  stamps and doodling. Since I  mainly own die cuts from Papertrey and not so many stamps that would fit this theme I made my own out of fun foam, using my latest Papertrey dies (just got the order a few days ago) and cut those in fun foam - it works so well - voila - you have our own stamps, spending only a fraction of the money! I doodled around the stamps as you can see. Gives you kind of a cool effect....a little more tremor and one would think I drank too much ;) Added tiny enamel dots - do you know about this month House of Cards challenge - its enamel dots - thought I'll let you know..... Our wonderful spons...

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) fiftee...
