Sugar and Spice

Hi...happy Saturday.. gosh.. it has been really yucky weather here in Michigan.. and iam not done with picking up all the leaves in my yeard. I did the front yard.. :-) but boy my backyard is a mess. I lived many years back in Germany in a house/condo.. where you did not had to worry about things like that.. sometimes i kind of miss that :-) if it is work like this that needs to be done arround the house.

Please let me tell you again about my 1 year blog anniversary.. if you like to win a prize sponsored by Alota, Magnolia-lious, STAMPAVIE and Pretty Pressings please check out the link i add.

This card was made like 2 weeks back when Magnolia sent me stamps for the Pink Collection . I really enjoy working with the fresh colors once in a while in between all the Christmas cards. Stickles was added to the front to the heart on the envelope and the heart in the inside.

Stamps: all stamps are Magnolia (i know the girl is from the Pink 2008 Collection and the heart used on the envelope is from the Spring/Valentines line 2008.. iam not sure in which collection the swirly heart can be found) but arent they CUTE?

Papers: all Imaginice and Stampin up

Embellishments: Making Memories, Stampin up, Prima Marketing, Michaels

For You!

Hi and good morning :-)
It is Friday and iam happy to show you a card i have made with Murmurs sketch.. Gosh.. she is one talented girl.. I am truly happy to have her with us! She always challenges me and when the card come together on my table i always love it and i usually make two with the same sketch lol
Check out closely her personal blog.. she has in her blog roll several sketches she has created for her personal blog!!
Not much to say to my card :-) i used Edwin with ski.. :-) he is so cute.. I like that this image looks fabulous with the winter scene stamp and just alone! I added with Liquid Applique snowflakes over the image and on the ground. In between the puffed snow on the ground i added Stickles and on the white panel. The "flakes" on the Designer Paper are Epoxy Stickers.

Designer Paper: Stampin up and silver Hardware Stampin up

Snowflake embellishment can be found in my friend Bea's store.

I also would love to tell you about Kristines fabulous blog candy!!! oh gosh.. :-) love it:-)

12 Days of Christmas

This card was made for my BIG idol Inge from the Netherlands... some of you know that Inge is one of the very first original Magnolia Design Team Members. Oh my gosh.. i was always drooling over her creations .. her coloring i and her style how to layer patterned paper is something i have studied for many hours. So when Inge asked me if I would be up for a Christmas gift exchange (in German "wichteln") i was like .. oh my gosh.. no question :-) but than the pressure was on lol.. . All the papers are super sparkly.. the flowers are with glitter made since the sketch asked for some horizontal elements i picked 2 strings of my Raspberry Ribbons August Paisley kit. All the greens you will get in this kit are perfect to use this time of the year. The sticker (Making Memories) "12 days of Christmas" reminded me kind of like a sign in a train station, so added that one behind Tilda . I think the packages Tilda is sitting on work well with the thought i had.
I submitted this card for this weeks Cute Card Thursday Challenge - we have to make something using greens and reds. Now for the sketch.. i need to give credit for that one to Jay Jay.. i saw it on her blog and printed it out.. it was too late to use this card on the challenge blog because i did not want to show the card before Inge received her present.

taataaa... and this time i even made a note what Copics i used to color my images Tilda and packages in :-)

Face: E000, E00, R20
other: E31, E34, E27, E50, Y23, R27, R14, G99, 0, YG93, Y21, E25, YG95, W5, W3

Holiday

Hi how was your weekend? Ours was kind of "sleepless" :-) the boys catched a virus in school and i was busy cleaning beds, cleaning the car :-) and giving showers at night time. poor kids - i can definitely tell that iam 40 and need my beauty sleep lol.

Now some of you might have already the new Raspberry ribbon kit.. if not you might really consider getting this kit. It is so beautiful it has lots of strings in off white and pure whites in it and also 2 of those plastic snowflakes. At first i did not really know what to do with my "second" snowflake (i forgot to show you my first card.. :-) so i added to the edges Stickles so it would stand out against the bight red color.
