Sketch Saturday

Happy New Year to all of you! I wish you all the best!!

It's time for a new sketch at Sketch Saturday. The first one of this year and it's made by Jilli! She found us this great sponsor:

TLC is offering a fantastic prize of a $10.00 gift certificate for the lucky winner of this challenge!

Here is my card. I've used this great papers from Basic Grey 'Olivia'. Love the colors! Tilda is so cute and perfect for the occasion of this card. People I know are starting a pancake-restaurant this year. I've made this card for them and wish them all the luck they need!!
I didn't had a 'good luck' sentiment or anything like that so I used this one from Hero Arts. I think it also fits this occasion!

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!!

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.

I also want to enter the challenge from Basic Grey which is a recipe. You have to use 4 different type of embellishments, 3 different design papers, and 1-2 images or 1-2 sentiments. I've used a button, ribbon, rhinestones and flowers as my embellishments. The three different design papers are from the 'Origins' paper pad from Basic Grey.
