Paper Smooches, 10 minute craft dash and 2 New Members!

I have great news - 2 new members have found their way  to my blog! Thank you for joining in and helping my blog grow! I want to extend a warm WELCOME to 


she not only makes beautiful cards, takes great photos but also specializes in calligraphy - I am glad you can't see my handwriting  - its nothing to be proud of....

and


an awesome paper crafter. Right now she does a year in review - hop on over and see her beautiful work.

And as customary I have a welcome picture for you. I took it in Chicago, where I attended a conference at the McCormick Center a few week ago. This glass work is by Costas Varotsos, a greek artist, who does just amazing things with glass.



I hope you like it as much as I do. But if not maybe my card puts a smile on your face......

Its ANYTHING GOES at Paper Smooches this week. By far my favorite kind of challenge.... I have a couple of kids birthdays coming up, so I pulled out my brand new Zoo Crew set to make this card.



That hippo just makes me smile. The sentiments are Sentiment sampler and Zoo Crew. Added some Washi tape and sequins. The hippo is colored with Copics. I photographed it twice to show the sparkle of the sequins better....



This was a very quick card. It took me 9 minutes and 43 seconds, but only because I took my time with the sequins......

I am linking this with the 10 minute craft dash - also anything goes. I am sorry to see the craft dash go - its their last challenge :(

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
