So we want you to create a Mothers Day card or project. And please keep in mind when joining us in this challenge you must be using one of the following stamps: Magnolia, Bildmalarna, The Greeting Farm, Stampavie, Nellie Snellen, Belles 'n Whistles, Alota Rubber Stamps or Ollyfant by Erica Pels. You have time to enter until May 8th, 6pm CEST. So please come and join us in this great challenge, won't ya?! OK, onto my card now. I decided to ink up one of my Belles 'n Whistles sweeties which I haven't used yet. This is 'Bronzing Beauty' from the Spring/Clean/Summer Collection 2010. Isn't she just the cutests? Belles 'n Whistles stamps are also available through Ilona's store Bastelbedarf Regnery ! Of course colored using Copics and Copic Airbrush Sy

Hi Everyone!  I've no card to show today but I wanted to share my joy with you! Because I was the lucky one who won Elise's YUMMY candy! YAY! Huuuge thanks again Elise!!!!!!! *hugs* :-D And I also have a picture for you of all the awesome stuff I won ;-)  Here it is: Isn't that just fantastic? Oh I can't wait to start creating with it. Though it has to wait a little longer because we decided yesterday to paint our house and pool deck. So it will be a busy weekend again *LOL*   I hope you all are having a great weekend and can enjoy your activities!!! The weather here is supposed to be GREAT with temps in the upper 80's! Woohoo! Big hugs and thanks for stopping by!

It's Monday and time again for our fortnightly Roses on Paper & Belles 'n Whistles combined challenge!   This time it's me who's challenging you :-) I decided on a sketch challenge and made the following sketch for you: I hope you like it and I can't wait to see all your awesome creations using my sketch! Please adhere to our challenge rules when joining us in this challenge. Creations not using eligible stamps or with no link back to our challenge blog can't be accepted and do not qualify for the prize drawing. See the complete challenge rules on our challenge blog 's sidebar! Ok onto my card now. I thought that the sketch would be perfect for making a criss-cross card. So I went ahead and made a criss-cross card for Mothersday!  I colored sweet 'Belle with Laundry' using my Copics. My DP is from Basic Grey's Euphoria Collection, CS is from Bazzill. For decorating and highlights I used rhinestones, half-pearls, Prima flowers, a ri

I hope you are all having a great Weekend so far :-) My card for today I made using last weeks sketch from Friday Sketcher. Unfortunately I did not make it in time to participate in the challenge! But I really liked their sketch. I colored little Belle using my Copics as usual. Isn't this just a darling image? It's called "Wishes" and I really love it not only because it is so versatile. You can get yours HERE if you haven't already! Better hurry if you haven't gotten your newest Belles 'n Whistles stamps yet. Most of the new releases are running low already and if you don't want to wait until the next batch arrives make sure you order yours soon!  My papers are from Basic Grey's newest collection Kioshi. CS is Bazzill. The pearls are made with my Viva Pearl Pen which I think is a great product and a good alternative to half-pearls because you can exactly create the size of pearls you need.  The flowers are from Prima and Magnolia. For highlig

Hello Dear Friends and Happy TGIF :-)! I hope you all had a fabulous week and are looking forward to a nice and relaxing weekend! Well I know mine wont be that relaxing because we are still replacing our windows but planning on doing the last one on Saturday, YAY! However, after that everything is nice and new and thats why I'm still looking forward to it. In the course of all this I also rearranged our dining room and in our bay there we have now a nice separate sitting area. Can't wait sitting there and enjoying my coffee or tea. Like Belle is enjoying her cup of tea here on my card. Isn't she just adorable sitting there on the stump and savor cookies, tea and fresh air? This adorable new clear stamp from the Belles 'n Whistles Spring Cleaning and Summertime Collection called 'Tea Time' is now available HERE ! I made this card for a friends birthday, who also likes to sit outside enjoying a cup of coffee. Do you have a favorite place where you like to s

Are you enjoying the nice weather? I certainly do! I was doing lots of garden work lately and now our yard is almost ready for spring, finally =) And because of it we are going to have a BBQ tonight! I love BBQ's, do you? My card today I already made 2 weeks ago. This Miss Anya stamp from the Greeting Farm is one of my favorites from the Miss Anya collections. I  colored her using my Copics. The papers I've used are from Basic Grey. I also used Retro Flower Punch medium and large and Spellbinders Nesties. I like the bright and bold colors and it was a lot of fun making this card. Hope you like it too =) Oh yes and BTW! I just saw that I am about to hit 35.000 visitors soon. That definitely calls for some blog candy ..... so make sure you check back often and don't miss my candy. It is kind of a surprise this time..... and there will also be a bonus prize but you'll have to do something in order to be eligible for the bonus prize drawing...hehe but I'm not tell
