New Members Welcome and Moxie Fab challenge

Its greet my new members time!

Two lovely ladies have joined my blog - I want to welcome in the order of joining:

Sonja K from The Art of Stamping

Vicki from Stamp Smiles

You probably know them already, since both have an active blog and make fabulous cards! I am happy you joined me and as customary I picked a welcome picture for you. this is made by Tom Otterness, who makes fun bronze statues, some of which can be found in New York City. This is a detail from one of his works (called Amorphophallus Titanum) in the Bronx Botanic Garden. I just love those little creatures in that gigantic plant!

I hope you like it, too!

Over at Moxie Fab the WCMD challenge got extended - I am so happy about this, since I wanted to play - that inspiration picture is so up my alley.....geometric design - what could be better???

This is the picture:

I made my card using the Papertrey Harlequin embossing plate, which I partially ran through my Big Shot. Then I took pain chips in various colors and also ran them through the big shot. cutting those little diamonds, which I then pieced in. The wood background paper I got at this years Scrapbook Expo in NJ.

The sentiment is by My Favorite Things. I think it fits the style of the card quite well.

This is my last blog post that I'll write.... for the next two weeks I'll be in Israel. So forgive me, if I won't be able to comment - I'll try to catch up with you once I'll be back home.

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.

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!
