The Night before Christmas

Hi Everyone,

here is my weekly Christmas card - playing with Merry Monday - the theme is the night before Christmas. I am going with those lines:

When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer, 
With a little old driver, so lively and quick, 
I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.  


It kind off resulted in a modern version with those Paper Smooches skyscrapers. The Santa sleigh is from an old Inkadinkadoo set. Added some Washi tape and white paint snow splatters


Also linking up with:
CAS Mix-up challenge - stamping and splattering
Die Traumfabrik - Hüter des Lichts/Rise of the Guardians

Ein toller Hintergrund, vor dem die Silhouetten sehr gut wirken! Auch gefällt es mir, wie du die Washi Tapes hier eingesetzt hast.
Kurz war ich erschrocken und musste schnell einen Blick auf den Kalender werfen. Puh, es ist noch etwas Zeit für die Weihnachtskartenproduktion. ;))
Liebe Grüße

Wie... du bist schon wieder bei Weihnachten??? Hab ich was verpasst???
Deine Abendhimmelkarte gefällt mir sehr gut.
Ich denke, wenn man ganz genau in den Himmel schaut, kann man jetzt schon den Weihnachtsmann mit seinem Schlitten über den Sternenhimmel sausen sehen, allerdings nicht in schwarz wie bei dir, sondern in sternenweiß.
Dir und deiner Familie ein schönes Wochenende

This is great, Cornelia. Definitely different than mine but more like what I think Clement Moore had in mind when he wrote the poem.

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...
