Cure for the Monday Blues, Curtain Call and Hello to all my New Members!

 It has been a while since my last new member welcome and I have now 5 new members who joined my blog! You make me happy! Thank you so much for joining and a BIG thank you also to my long term members who are still with me!

Welcome my new followers in the order of joining:

Kate from Just Kate
Klaudiya Ray from Handmade by Kaudiya
Carla - sorry, could not find a link, but will happily add one....

And here is your welcome picture:



I discovered this on a recent visit in New York City - its called Seed 54 and is by Haresh Lalvani. Its fascinating to look at. If you are interested you can also watch this youtube video


And if you have time, you may visit my "newbies" and say hello - they have wonderfully creative blogs, full of  amazing inspiration!

 And now back to card making:
I finally managed to  make a card for the Cure for the Monday Blues - fabulous inspiration picture this week! And as luck will have it Curtain Call also has a similar picture, but its anything goes - so one card for two challenges!



I bought that filmstrip die from Poppy  dies a while ago and I immediately thought of it when I saw the inspiration picture. I added those cute Pandas from Mama Elephant Pandamonium, which I fuzzy cut. All the other stamps are from the same set as well.



Added some glossy accents to the hearts and lanterns and liquid enamel to the Panda eyes.
I hope you like it!

I am also adding this card to the Snippets Playground - add a snippet - this card is snippets only...

Hi Cornelia, Been MIA from here for a while, but I did give a shoutout today on your fab light box idea. This is such a cute card, and love the way you've used the filmstrip. I would not have had a clue (got a TH die that is a NBUS for the same reason). Love the bright blue background and your peeking teddies. Delightful. Great to see this in the Playground. TFS &Hugs

This could not be a better take on the inspiration photo! Using the filmstrip die for the shelves was genius - definitely a match made in Heaven with those adorable pandas and pops of colour!! Thanks so much for playing to find a Cure For The Monday Blues!

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! Mirror Image stamp ,  Two Cats in a Tree If you want a video tutorial on how to do this I can highly recommend you watch THIS VIDEO on youtube. Explains it all in very little time! Or you can see the same thing on my photo tutorial. With mirror
