Papertrey Blog Hop



Hi Everybody,

I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and enjoyed your Holiday! We had a lot of fun - having everybody here on Christmas including the daughter of an old friend of mine who is doing an exchange year in Maine and had to leave school over the winter vacation. 

I finally found some time to take part in the Papertrey Blog Hop! Here is the inspiration picture - lots of beautifully wrapped presents:



December Inspiration



So I took some patterned paper and used my Papertrey Pillow Box Die to cut the box. The Christmas tree die is Papertrey as well and the star is from Simon Says. I wrapped it all with gold string.







Quick and easy and it looks quite pretty! I love that pillowbox die - its so convenient for all those gift cards that I often need.
Have a great day and thanks for coming over!

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...
