Merry Christmas...

 I am loving these Gingers from Last Minute Manda. I colored mine with the Spectrum Noir Triblend markers and some metallic watercolors for the details. The Snowflake die is from Crafter's Companion but the Cuttingfile is from Canvas Library and cut with the Scan N Cut SDX1200. The designer papers are also from Crafter's Companion. The swirl stamps are from a very old Autumn Leaves stamp set. Stamped with the Silver Spectrum Noir Midas inkpad.

I used the Cookies and Eggnog and Cookies and Cocoa stampsets.

May your Christmas be Merry and Bright...

 Hello, 

Today i want to show you this card that I created with one of the cute Christmas peekers from Last Minute Manda, I wanted to show him with some christmas ornaments but I did not have a stamp that was right for that so I drawn my own ones with the Spectrum Noir Artliners and Colored them all with the Spectrum Noir Triblend and Illustrator markers. The gold on the ornaments is made with an watermark pen and WOW gold embossing powder and I added some extra gold glitter with a Gold Stickles bottle. The Sentiment is from one of the Special boxes from Crafter's Companion. 

If you want to get your own Christmas Peekers I have an 25% off your order code that you can use Ria25

Merry Christmas....

 It has been a long time since my last blog and each time I think I am going to pick it up but each time life comes in the way :) So I am not making any promises anymore that I can keep this up as my life is pretty busy nowadays and I am not going to disappoint myself again and again hahaha. 
So I have been creating and coloring my days away... This card is created with the Christmas Tea Gingers from Last Minute Manda.  

If you are interested in these I have a 25% off dtcode to share with you Ria25 it works in the new Last Minute Manda shop and it takes off 25% of your order, plus if you make an order your name will be put in a bowl and at the end of the month Manda is going to pull a name out who wins a voucher for $ 10,00 to spend in the shop.

I merged 2 images together by fuzzy cutting them out and than glueing them onto my card.  I colored the images with the Spectrum Noir Triblend markers and made metallic accents with the Watercolors by Myrthe. Her watercolors are perfect to add little bits of metallic to your coloring. She has a shop on Etsy.


I want to play the following challenges....

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 :)

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

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.

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.
