Each new day....

 put's a spring in your step....

Good afternoon sunshines... it is gorgeouss weather here in the Netherlands and I have been coloring in the garden this easter. So today You can go to Kit and Clowder and get not one but 2 stamps for free from Polkadoodles.... A long time ago I was on the DT for Polkadoodles. So when I had seen these 2 cuties I had to print them off and have a play with one of them. So I used her in my Planner/Art Journal. She is colored with the Spectrum Noir Triblend markers and the background is colored with the Spectrum Noir Opaque inkpads. The stencils are from Dutch doobaboo.And the sentiments are both from a Polkadoodles clear stamp set. Which are my favourite stamps as i am using them each and every time :)

I would love to play the following challenges....

Happy easter....

 I just want to wish you all a happy easter and hope you don't eat too much eggies....

I colored up so many easter images from Last Minute Manda these last weeks that I added a couple of them to my planner/art journal so I can watch them over and over and don't stock up my room with more cards hahahahaa I am bad I am hoarding my own cards. I really don't like shipping them off.... nobody else will appreciate them the way I do.... hahahahahah

So for both pages I used Craft Sensations stencils with Spectrum Noir Opaque inkpads, sentiment is from Polkadoodles on the first page, but on the second I wrote it down with an Artliner.  The Egg shape on the second page is made with a Balloon Die from Avec Creative and I cut off the knot and turned it upside down so It turned into an egg...

I colored the stamps from the Last Minute Manda Bitty Bears Easter set with the Spectrum Noir Triblend markers.

The white marker is a Signo Uniball white 0.7mm

I would love to play the following challenges....

Let's Celebrate....

I am really enjoy creating these plannerpages :) 

So today I created this one with the sketch from Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2/ april-2022.

I Used Decotime Fineliner twinmarkers to color and draw the sketch into my planner/art journal. These are cheap pens from the Action as I do not want to use my precious Spectrum Noir markers on the papers of the planner as it is so thin and it soaks up the ink. And I don't mind to use these cheaper markers on it :) as they are laying here doing nothing anyway.... So the cute Bear is from the Bitty Bears Easter stamp set by Last Minute Manda and colored with the Spectrum Noir Triblend markers. The sentiment is from Conie Fong and it is foiled with the Crafts & Co Foilapplicator.

I would like to play the following challenges....

Don't grow up.

 It's a trap....

That Quirky sentiment stamp from Crafter's Companion is sooo funny and so true!!! They make it look so cool to be a grown up but man sometimes I wished I stayed a kid forever hahahahahaha

So this cute baby is from the Water Babies stamp set by Last Minute Manda. Colored with the Triblend markers colors PP-FS-TN-GY-AP. The sketch that I used for this planner/art journal page is from Atlantic Heart Sketches #467

I tried to create a plaid design but man that isn't as easy as it looks. You might thinkg just throw on some lines and your finished ;) hahahaha at least that was what I thought lol.

Miss you...

So for this Planner/Art Journal page, I picked a not so girly theme as I tend to do more girlie style creations hahahaha.

So I used the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches and drawn it with the artliners from Spectrum Noir onto the page. I used a stencil and some cheap metallic markers to color in the leaves.  The sentiment is from Crafter's Companion. This cute Gopher is from the Spring Gopher set by Last Minute Manda. Colored with the Spectrum Noir Triblend markers.

Be your own kind of beautiful...

I found a new addiction with these planner/art journal pages ;)

It is so much fun and it will keep my craftroom a little bit more empty instead of hoarding more cards hahahhaa. So for this one I used the sketch from Paper Craft Crew Challenge blog. I had drawn it into my planner and started coloring it with my Spectrum Noir alcohol markers. The sentiment is from the Sara's Signature Vintage Dairy Adorning sentiments stamp set. This cute bear is from the Splish Splash bear set by Last Minute Manda and colored with the Spectrum Noir Triblend markers.

Sweet as Honey....

I am having a serious problem with collecting my own cards :) and while I am not able to craft in my precious craftroom I needed to come up with a sollution to still being able to play with my stamps and create something with them....

Well i found it at least I found something that is working for me.... I am playing a sketch challenge and draw the sketch into my planner and create the sketch all on paper with my pencils, markers, inkpads. Using stencils and dies for the outlining of the designs. As I am limited to space downstairs so I can't have all my fancy equipment here as there is just not even space and I don't want our living room to be over cluthered with my craftystash. As i keep hoping I can go back up to my own room soon again. (hey a girl needs a dream!!)  

So I created this sketch in my CraftSensation planner and I used the beehive stencils also from CraftSensations, I used the Spectrum Noir Artliners to draw the outlines of the sketch and colored it all with the Spectrum Noir alcohol markers. I used the DecoTime gold calligraphy twinmarkers to color the gold parts. And the sentiment is from the Crafter's Companion Nature's Garden Bee-Youtifull collection stamped with the Finesse Black waterproof inkpad.

And this gorgeouss Sunflower Loving Gnome by Last Minute Manda stamps colored with the Spectrum Noir Triblend markers.

You might think that ohh but that is so much easier than creating a card!!! well nope it does take alot longer to create than a card :) But it is okay as I have all the time in the world to play with my craftystash :)

I would love to play the following challenges with my plannerpage...
