Two cards for Simply Create Too #43

Simply Create Too has a photo inspiration this month. (I wish I could show it to you, but the computer here does not let me copy the picture into this post - I will add it later)... I made two cards for this challenge and I want to share them with you:





For this card I used the Memory Box Chloe Stem die, Washi tape and the lovely sentiment I got from my friend Monika in Munich - I can't remember the company - I am still in Calgary - leaving tomorrow morning and apparently I have nothing better do do....

  I am also entering this card into the Moxie Fab Birthday card challenge.




For this card I used the technique by Betsy Veldman, that I have used on a recent card I made for the Make it Monday by Papertrey. I like the result better this time - it really needs some practice... The birthday die is by Papertrey, the stars are from Simon Says and added some bling.

Go and visit Simply Create Too - you have 12 days to submit your creation and don't forget there is a special kids entry for children under age 12!

I am also submitting this card to Inkspirational #31 - Anything goes

So, that's it for now. Once I am back home and have some time for cards again I will also show you some of my vacation pictures from beautiful Canada - we had such a great time here... I wish we could stay longer.....

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
