GDT for Day of the Month Card Club

 Hi Everyone,


I again have the honor to be guest designer this month for the Day of the Month Card Club Challenge!

 The theme for August is: 
Book Lovers Day



Now who doesn't appreciate books?!
I totally love to read and I devour just about anything I can get my hands on - fiction, non-fiction, autobiographies, etc. I do  have some standards. I don't really read trashy novels. For that I consider my time to valuable. But I always have huge stacks of books on my nightstand that I am planning to read. 
But  regardless of my reading habits, I used the Katzelkraft Meerkats for this card and combined it with this lovely stack of books from Stamperia. Colored with water colors and Inktense. Added the thought bubble. Just wish I had better hand writing....


I hope I enticed you to 
play along and link up here!

Happy book lovers day!

Simon Says Monday challenge - Fun and Quirky

Oh nein, diese Frage gibt es bei mir nicht und wenn, dann gibt es nur eine Antwort: LESEN! Aber den Beiden soll es erlaubt sein, mal darüber nachzudenken und ich hoffe, sie treffen die richtige Entscheidung!! Freue mich sehr, das Du uns wieder als Gastdesignerin unterstützt!!!

This world needs more well-read meerkats...and these fellows appear to have a lot of vibrant material to entertain them. Just another terrific critter card.

My answer will definitely be : to read ! What a fabulous card you've made with these two meerkats and these rainbow piles of books. It could be a really nice way to store our books in the bookcase ! Thanks so much for being such a talented Guest Designer over at DOTMCC. x

Katzelkraft - Stampotique Raven

Hi Everyone, Do you know that   Katzelkraft has aquired Stampotique stamps? This fun raven is designed by Daniel Torrente (#6314). I used an old background from my stashs.  I stamped the bird and colored it with alcohol ink markers.  I brushed distrss ink onto the background and added some pattern with the   Mandala Magic stencil  from Funky Fossil Designs.I used one of the border stamps on the left for more interest.  Stamped the sentiment  and doodled a frame around the sentiment.Added a googly eye to the bird and drew in some eye lashes.  The stamps I used are from the following sets: Spiral Borders - KTZ286,  Whatchamacallit  - KTZ276  (FRANCE) Spiral Borders  - KTZ286 , Whatchamacallit  - KTZ276 (USA) Hope you liked this - I'll be back next Wednesday with more Katzelkraft inspiration.  Thanks for visiting! Happy Stamping! Linking up with: Simon Says Wednesday challenge  - fur or feathers

Combined So Suzy and The Ton Blog Hop

Hi Everyone, I am sooooo excited to be part of this amazing event - a combined hop between So Suzy Stamps and The Ton! I have been eyeing The Ton stamps and dies for quite a while - they are just gorgeous! And So Suzy - well you have seen their stamps on my blog - they are simply fabulous! I also love that they are made from rubber - its different stamping with them. Its much better for generational stamping and they don't stick to your paper when you use your Misti. You may have arrived from the fabulous  Eunji - its a hard act to follow her.... I got those gorgeous  Peonies Dies  from The Ton and die cut them with water color paper. Spritzed Dylusion inks on a sheet of plastic and dipped the dies into the colors. Mounted them onto black card stock. Added the So Suzy Birthday sentiment - heat embossed in white. Lastly I added a strip of envelope liner paper at the bottom. Here are my supplies: So Suzy Birthday sentiment ,  Peo...
