Merry Monday #69 and Moxie Fab

Hello Everybody,

I have another Christmas card I made for the Merry Monday challenge #69 - the sketch is below.




This card would have been a lot easier, if I would have done it in the right order... I started out with the green paper, die cutting the openings with the Papertrey Take Tree die. Then I realized that I needed the red strips on the side and I wanted the paper doubled up, to give it more substance, so I fiddled around with the red paper, trying to die cut at the same level as the green paper, which I kind of managed to do.... the sentiment is from Hero Arts Happiest Holidays. And the felt ornaments I had in my stash - bought years ago in Germany...

I am also linking this up with the Moxie Fab Holiday challenge.

 And now some Calgary pictures - some contrast to Christmas - street art:












Cool, hu - I love it! I have more to share about Calgary in my next post!

Great take on the sketch, Cornelia! Love it. Isn't Calgary fun to visit? I used to live there and my parents are still there. We're going to visit this Christmas. :-)

Das sind ja wirklich wunderbare Fotos von Calgary. Du hattest bestimmt einen tollen abwechslungsreichen Urlaub. Hoffentlich kannst du recht lange davon zehren.

Und dann die Weihnachtskarte :-))) Ja ja, es geht schon wieder mit Riesenschritten darauf zu. Man kann gar nicht früh genug anfangen, für Weihnachten vorzubereiten.

LG Flo

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

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...
