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 Maddywho 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 fĆ¼r meinen Geschmack ganz einfach genial!! Ich liebe dieses Motiv und die Farbwahl ist mal wieder erstklassig!
Die zweite, ein bisschen vertrƤumter, ist auch sehr schƶn 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 wƤre gleich nochmals Startbereit ....leider wird daraus nichts werden :((
Ich wĆ¼nsche dir einen tollen und erholsamen Urlaub und vielleicht ist es gar nicht so verregnet. *daumendrĆ¼ck*

Bis bald 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.
