Burst of Colors

Happy weekend everyone! I'm so happy it's weekend and it looks like it's going to be a very nice one. The sun is shining and I 'm sitting outside enjoying the nice wheather while I'm writing this :-) After all the rain we've had down here the last weeks it is so nice. I'm so excited just 2 more weeks until another furry family member joins us ;-) We decided that it is time for our Dobie girl Cleo to have some furry company. Her new sister was born on April 18th and I saw her pictures just a few days after she was born and fell in love instantly..lol Her name is Coco and she is a Boxer girl ;-) She is as sweet as can be and we are so looking forward to bringing her home soon:-) As soon as she is here I'll post pictures! For my card today I used an image from the cute stamp set Cup of Stuff from TGF. I just love these mice. I colored them using my Distress Inks from Tim Holtz and to add a little sparkle I added some matching twinkling H2O's after col

Hello everyone and Happy Thursday! I guess I have to hurry, my doggie Cleo is sitting right next to me and waiting anxiously for her walk. Due to the bad weather we are a little late today. My project today is a little gift bag. The template I used is from a friend from my German crafting forum, Uschi. Unfortunately Uschi doesn't have a blog. But she makes the most wonderful creations. The little gift bag measures 2 x 2 inch and is about 4.5 inch high. Hallo und einen wunderschoenen Tag! Muss mich etwas beeilen, mein Hund Cleo sitzt schon ganz ungeduldig neben mir und wartet auf ihren Spaziergang. Sind etwas spaeter dran heute, wegen des schlechteren Wetters. Mein Projekt von heute ist eine kleine Geschenktuete. Die Vorlage habe ich von einer Forumsfreundin, Uschi, aus dem Bastelbuedchen . Leider hat Uschi keinen eigenen Blog, aber sie macht super schoene Sachen! Die Geschenktuete, auch Milchtuetenbox genannt, ist 2 x 2 inch (5 x5 cm) und ungefaehr 11 cm hoch. Card Recipe: Highlig

We are going to visit our sweet little Boxer puppy for the first time. She'll be joining our family soon, just a few more weeks to go! Can't wait!

Hello everyone and hope you all had a great day! I have this Hampton Art stamp with these cute cupcakes now sitting in my drawer for weeks. Finally yesterday it was the time to ink it up and make this card. It's another one for the category "clean and simple". I just added a little sparkle to the image with my Stickles in matching colors. Image was colored using my copics. The sentiment is a stamp I found at Michaels in the $1 Dollar bin and is from Hampton Art as well. CS is from Bazzill and DCWV and the DP is from the "Sweet" paper pad also from DCWV. The silder tag was cut out with my nesties, flower is from Prima and button and ribbon from my stash. The little pink bow I made using my new bow maker from Joy! Crafts. Diesen Hampton Art stempel habe ich nun schon einige Wochen in meiner Schublade liegen und gestern war es dann endlich Zeit ihn einzuweihen und diese Karte zu machen. Eine wietere fuer die Reihe "Clean and Simple". Mit farblich passe
