April Showers Bring May Flowers....

Ahhhh here is another cutie that I have not blogged yet ;) this one it is Umbrella Lili from Inky She is from the March 2013 release and is a Digistamp. I coloured her with Spectrum Noir markers. The papers are digipapers made by Moi. The sentiment is also from Inky. It is not my usual colour combo to work with but sometimes I like to challenge myself to see if I can make it work :) And loads of faux stitching around the edges.

Birthday wishes...

It has been Ages ago since I last played with any of my CC designs stamps.So when I was cleaning in my craftroom I found a bunch of them and Nymphy caught my eye. So  I stamped her on Stamp Linen and coloured her with Prismacolor pencils and sansodor. I was in an Oilily kind of mood and these papers are just perfect for them. They are from a nameless paperpad from the Action a dutch cheap store. I handstitched the card as I still don't have a new sewing machine and I really want that little one from Janome :) The banner is from Inky and I totally think these rock as they come in handy so often.

Some Bunny Loves You....

Here is my card for the FSC and this week we are sponsored by StampFairy... OHHH I still love Gerda's digistamps :) hehehe I was on her DT when she just started selling digi's and she has soo many cute ones. I especially love her teddies and bunnies they are soo sweet. The sentiment is from Inky and it is a digistamp and it matched this bunny so well. The papers are from Moi :) but most of them are never to be seen again as my laptop of 12 days old decided to die on me(happened WEEKS AGO) and I had not made any backups yet of the work I did in the 12 days I got it :( Soo look at them good as is it a One Of A Kind hahahhaha  Clementine the bunny is coloured with Spectrum Noir for the bunny and Copics for the flowers and sentiment.

May the beauty of spring...

I created this card for last weeks new release from Meljen but I also forgot to blog about it. Well forgetting is not really the right word. My body isn't feeling 100% so I have been spending alot of my time on the couch or in bed but I refuse to go to bed and lay on the couch this week or at least I am trying hahahahaha but sometimes you just have to listen to your body :(

So I used the beautifull round blooms from Meljen and this perfect sentiment from Alota. It is perfect together and so CAS which is not my usual style :) But i ma pretty pleased with the end results.

Cupcake...

Oh boy I have been such a bad blogger the last couple of weeks. I have so many projects ready to show now :) Well it seems like spring is finally here and it is starting to get a bit warmer so hopefully my body will start to work better and better from now on ;) I had quit an adventure 2 days ago. When I was walking Seven my beautifull Cocker Spaniel girlie I found a black Lab :) she was wondering around a bush and I called her and she came right up to me very friendly so I waited some time if maybe an owner would come around the corner or something but nobody came to get her. So I asked a neighboor for a big leash as she could not wear one of Seven's :) hahahaha 20 pound dog or a 50/60/70 pound dog not a good idea hahahahha and gave the lab some food as it looked like she thought she was starving while the dog really looked perfect ;) and went for a nice walk to the VET in the hope that she had a CHIP and could trace the owner. Both dogs really where so sweet to eachother while Seven is in heat at the moment and can act really bitchy to other females at the mo. But it went perfect and called Hubby I found a new pet hahahah knowing I would nto keep her. So he got all kinds of jokes on his work from his coworkers that from now on we had 2 dogs hahhahaa  So atr the vet we could trace the owners and they where really happy that Beau was found.  So Seven and I went for a LONG walk home again leaving Beau to be picked up by her owner. So Seven and I walked for 1 hour and 15 minutes in total as we had walked for we found beau and then the long walk to the VET. We where Exhausted and She went to her bed and I went to the couch. Poor girls Seven with her Hipdisplacia and bad knee and I with Artritus hahahaha what an adventure and then the doorbel rang. It was Beau's owner who came to thank me an gave me a beautifulll plant :) it smells soo yummie hahahhaha she didn't had to do that as I was already happy I found her before any accidents had happened. SO and now 2 days later my body is still in pain but it was all so worth it and Hubby was very happy that he did not get a second DOG..... don't understand him hahahaha a new puppy in the house would be awesome hahahahah

Okay back to my card. I made this card with the cute Cupcake Digistamp from Meljen and coloured it with Spectrum Noir and Copic markers. Papers are digipapers by Moi, Did alot of faux stitching on it as I love it and it is easier then handstitching. Added some pearls and made flowers and added some lace.
