Hi everyone! Well I totally missed it to post my card for the Roses on Paper / Belles 'n Whistles combined challenge yesterday. It was postponed on Monday to yesterday and I totally forgot...boohoo. But nevertheless here is my card now. :-) Our sweet Anki is the host of the challenge this time. She wants to see your sweet side. So the theme is to create a romantic or sweet card. Anki said: "The challenge is to create a Romantic or Sweet card. I used Sweet November - the movie as my inspiration - since I loved that movie even if it also was very sentimental, but a perfect movie to watch a rainy Fall day together with someone that you love. Kramis - Anki" **When joining us in this challenge, please remember to use a Belles 'n Whistles, Magnolia, Alota, Greeting Farm OR Bildmalarnas stamp in order to qualify!** You have until Sunday, November 29th to enter and the winner of this Challenge will be chosen randomly on Monday, November 30th. The prize for this challenge i

Hello Friends and Happy Wednesday! Here comes another customized Christmas card I had on order. They all have kind of a vintage to look to them. I colored Tilda using my distress ink refillers and highlighted parts of the image with my Spica glitter pens. Snowflakes and stars are punched out with Martha Stewart and EK Success punches. To add a little more dimension and bling I adhered some self-adhesive rhinestones . DP is from my stash and I also used the new CB embossing folder "Ornaments". This is also my entry for the Just Magnolia Challenge #31 with a beautiful sketch by Mina . Another short post from me today as I'm terribly busy these days. But it's getting a little bit better by the end of next week I hope. I am also redoing my craft room and going to show you some pics as soon as it is done....but this will be not before beginning of December I guess... Have a great day all and thanks for stopping by and any comments you may leave! Hugs,

Hello all! My card today is one of several customized Christmas cards I made on assignment. So you will see a few more of those over the next time. ;-) Tilda is colored using my distress ink refillers . DP is from Prima Marketing/Studio D Designs. I distressed around the edges using antique linen distress ink and stamped Christmassy swirls onto it. The snowflakes are created using a Martha Stewart punch and for the tag I used a Spellbinder die. The customized sentiment is computer generated. And if you were waiting today for the start of the new Roses on Paper and Belles 'n Whistles Challenge... the start of the new challenge was postponed to Wednesday! So make sure you check back on Wednesday at our combined challenge blog . Looking forward seeing you here and there on Wednesday!!! :-) Thanks so much for stopping by and any comments you may leave are making my day :-) Hugs,

Hi everyone :)! How's your week so far? Well mine was pretty exciting and I hope it's winding down a little towards the weekend. I was able to finish this Christmas card last night and I used this cute digi stamp from Pink Cat Studio called Lily the Snowflake Fairy. I colored her with my copics. The sketch I used is this weeks sketch from Sketch Saturday created by Debbie . I kept the card quite simple and that was nice for a change. I also want to show you a card I received from my dear friend and DT fellow Rosette . I am delighted :)! Isn't this card just wonderful? I love the colors and the image is colored to perfection. Rosette's coloring always blows me away! Rosette thanks again you really made my day!!! {hugs} Card Recipe highlighted products can be found at Roses on Paper Bastelbedarf Regnery both stores Stamps/Stempel: Pink Cat Studio - Digi Colored with/Coloriert mit: Copics Ink/Tinte: Memento Ink - Tuxedo Black Paper/Papier: CS: Best Occasions, DP: Cr
