Hi Everyone,

we are up to day 3 of the blog hop  - time flies, when you are having fun!


I am loving the new Christmas release stamps from STAMPlorations. I have already been playing with those fun stamps by Shirley for my Muse Christmas Visions post (by the way, there is still plenty of time to play along!) and I am just are delighted to use this cute little elf again.


My supplies:

I used gold embossing paste for the tree stencil. The elf is colored with markers and fuzzy cut. Some Washi tape, a sentiment  and some tiny gems and that's it.

Now this is an elf I like. Not creepy, just cute and sweet looking. Great coloring and that shimmery stenciled tree is perfect to showcase hime.

Der Weihnachtsbaum strahl so, als wäre schon Weihnachten.
Mir gefällt der kraft-Untergrund. Darauf strahlt alles noch viel mehr.
Deine Machart hört sich so schnell und kurz an, das kann ich gar nicht glauben. Aber du wirst es schon wissen, hast die Karte ja gemacht.
Liebe Grüße

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
