TAWS# 40 and Good Bye to Cath

Hi, my friends,

 I am back with a new card - I have been insanely busy with work, so I had to take a break. But tonight I freed up some time. I wanted to play with the TAWS challenge and I also wanted to make a card for Cath, who is leaving - how sad for all of us! I really enjoyed her challenges, her inspiration pics and all the fun she brought to blogland. Her posts on Moxie Fab always put a smile on my face. I discovered so many things thanks to Cath. Her generosity is amazing! 

So here is my card for you Cath::


You were an inspiration to all of us and you encouraged us to tackle new territories with your challenges. 
I enjoyed your amazing pictures you shared with us.
You brightened my days.
I will miss you!
I wish you well in your future endeavors.
Perhaps you will not vanish completely.

Many hugs,
Cornelia

I used my favorite TAWS set Bird Brain. I heat embossed the birds, colored them with Copics and fuzzu cut them. The sentiments are TAWS - all about YOU. Used a Martha Stewart punch and some patterned paper.




I later decided to put tiny gems into the crown, but I only had yellow ones in that size. I do like the gem-less version a tick better. 


          

The other challenge I will link this card up with are:
Snippets Playground - use snippets
Paper Players - Wildlife

So if you want to say good-bye to Cath too, then make a card - it does not need to be a need one and link it up HERE. I am sure she'll appreciate that!


 I had fun making this card! Have a nice evening!

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) fifteen year old sister Melanie.  She now has a relapse and this car

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!

Or you can see the same thing on my photo tutorial. With mirror
