Day of the Month Card Club - Read A Book Day

Hi Everyone,

welcome our seventh Day of the Month Card Club challenge!

This month we are celebration "Read A Book Day". Actually that day should be every day....

For more detail on this day go visit our challenge blog.

We also have a Guest Designer with us - Daniela, who was voted winner in challenge #5. Her delightful blog is called Stempelschublade. I also love her sense of humor and she makes really fabulous cards. If you don't know her blog you might want to pay it a visit. It will not disappoint, I promise!

Here is my card:

While I really do love to read I don't have a lot of book stamps....but as you see, you don't need one. I took an advertisement from the New York Times and added some Cats on Appletrees stamps. I colored the shirts of the people with Prismacolor pencils and die cut the READ on card stock and doubled it up a bit to make it stand out a bit more.

Now I hope you will have time to

play along!

I am counting on you! You have until the end of the month (9/30) to do so.

This is a voting challenge - the winner will be determined by vote. Everybody can vote, even if you didn't play along. Voting starts on the first of the following month - June first.

The 3 participants with the most votes will win.

The winners will be showcased on the 5th of each month and the new challenge will start each month on the seventh.

And to make it more fun and appealing it would be great if you could comment on at least 3 other participants - perhaps you'll find some new friends that way.

There is always a reason to celebrate!

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...
