Paper Smooches and Welcome to a New Member!

My membership has kind of stalled lately, so I am especially excited to welcome Cecilia Hsieh to my blog! (At least nobody has left my blog recently - I am happy for that...)
Cecilia is from Melbourne, Australia and makes beautiful cards - go over to her blog and see for yourself!

As for all new members I have a welcome picture for you:


It is by  Mario Armengol and I found it strolling through Calgary on my recent visit there. It is called "The Family of Man" The statues are 21 feet tall and really impressive. I was very touched by them. I hope you like your welcome picture!

And now lets get back to card making.....

I made this card for the Paper Smooches spark challenge. I used one of their free digi stamps, printed it 3 times and fuzzy cut it. I arranged the hearts on white card stock, drew the stems and added the sentiment from the Paper Smooches - Sentiment sampler and some sequins,



I am starting to warm up to pink - especially the neon variety.


I hope you like it. Below you see the sketch.


I am also submitting this card to the MONOCHROMATIC  challenge at Simon Says.

And once again I want to thank everybody for visiting my blog and leaving comments - I just love it, when you do that!

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) fiftee...

Mirror Image Stamping with So Suzy and the MISTI

Hi Everyone, I am so happy to be part of this wonderful event - the collaboration between So Suzy and the MISTI from My Sweet Petunia doing mirror image stamping.  This event is going on for the ENTIRE  MONTH! We are demonstrating the  Mirror Image Stamp    which coordinates with the Misti Stamping Tool! All month long, different bloggers will post a card using the  Mirror Image Stamp .  In my tutorial today, I will show you how use the  Mirror Image Stamp  on your cards. You can basically double your stamp supplies that way! The  mirror image stamp  is  a 4.25" x 5.5" piece of red rubber with no foam backing. So much larger than the other mirror image stamps out there and therefore much more useful!
