Birthday Stripes

Hi Everyone,

just a quick post - its gorgeous outside, so I don't want to spend a lot of time on the computer....

I made this card for the Ellen Hudson Pin-sights challenge:


The theme is aqua - see the mood board below.

I like those ice-cream cones - so two Mondo Hydrangeas from my brand new EH set and the wire basked is mimicked by those black stripes - an IO background stamp. Its very hard to get a good impression of this, even with my Misti I did not manage to get really black stripes. I would have preferred PP, but I did not have the right one....The die cut sentiment is by SSS


So now I am enjoying that premature spring day we are having - funny, yesterday I was ice skating in Bryant Park....


Linking up with:
Take It, Make It Challenge

Have a Great Day!

Aaaah yes, the ice skating. Hope you had fun. But that card...I just want to live in your mind for an hour or two. I'm sure I'd come away with all those brilliant ideas you have rattling around in your fertile brain. What an amazing card...I smell a winner.

Haben die Blümchen nicht richtig geblüht, das Du sie hinter Gitter gesetzt hast? ... *grins* War natürlich nur ein Scherz, die Idee find' ich mal wieder super, tolle Karte.
Oh, was für eine Kulisse beim Schittschuhlaufen!!!

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) fiftee...
