The Sugar Bowl

I won a prize at the The Sugar Bowl a while ago and this is one of the six stamps I choose. Of course I had to use it for the new sketch at the The Sugar Bowl. The theme that you have to add is 'snowflakes', well there are enough in the image!
At Dutch Card Lovers they still have a winter theme so I would also like to enter this card for their challenge!
I added some stickles on the coat and some snowflake puff on the little snowflakes. The punch that I used is from Martha Stewart. On the edges there are some handmade pearls with the PerlenPen.

You are in my heart and thoughts

I've made this card yesterday too when I had a stampday with my sister Sandra. You can see her cards at her blog of course :) My mother Annelies joined us too in the afternoon and she made a great card, take a look at her blog!

I've made this Penny Black card with the sketch from Cute Card Thursday. I've used this great paper from Basic Grey 'Marjolaine'. The challenge at Penny Black Saturday Challenge was a recipe. Use three papers, one ribbon and one charm. Well... I placed to ribbons on top of each other to make one ribbon, hope that counts ;)

The Big Book of Buttons

Look what I got for Christmas! It's 'The Big Book of Buttons' from Cath Kidston. Love that brand although it's not available in the Netherlands. Lucky me, my sister Sandra goes to London once a year from her work and brings me sometimes lovely goodies. I've never seen a box for buttons like this one. It's beautiful!!

Red and white

Here is the christmascard that I made for my sister Sandra. She decorated her house in red and white this year so I thought it would be nice to make her a card in the same colors! :)

I've used the sketch from Friday Sketchers. The papers are from Marianne Design - Pretty Papers Bloc 'Scandanavian Christmas'. At a Spoon full of Sugar the challenge is 'christmas cards'. Well this is one of my last ones, I hope :). I also found two challenges 'anything goes'. The first one is from Papertake and the second from Simon Says Stamp challenge blog.
