Sweet little one

I made this card for a friend who is pregnant. I sewed everything by hand. I know she will see it and will appreciate, otherwhise I wouldn't have done it, it took me a long time!
The sketch that I used is from Crazy 4 Challenges. The papers are from K & Company. I've punched the edges with a punch from EK Succes.

Happy Easter!

It's spring and you can see it everywhere! The plants I planted are growing and there are already tiny leaves on some trees. I love it!!
Easter is comming soon too and so I decided to make an Easter card. I used this cute Elzybells stamp with also an Elzybells sentiment. The ribbon is from Xenos.
I used only cardstock. I embossed the white paper with an embossing folder from Papermania.
The sketch that I used is from Dutch Card Lovers. I love the 'clean' look!

Sketch Saturday

I totally forgot to post my card for today's sketch at Sketch Saturday!! I'm very busy at work and when I'm home, I'm working in the garden. I totally changed my garden and it's almost finished now. I'm very glad the way it turned out till now but I'm also very glad when it's finished ;)
The card that I made with the sketch from Sketch Saturday was for an aunt who turned 50 some weeks ago. I really like the way the card looks! I don't make a lot of easel cards but with this sketch I liked making one. The papers are from Making Memories.

Sketch Saturday

Today is my fist day of my spring holiday! My family and I are spending our holiday in a nice vacation home in Bad Bentheim! Can't wait to leave :)
This card is for the Sketch Saturday challenge of this week. It is for a pregnant colleague to wish her everything good.
The papers that I used are from a Making Memories paperpad called 'Funky Vintage ~ Ruby Collection'. I only added three flowers with some buttons but I think for this occasion that's enough.

Congrats to you

I don't have to work today so I have to time to make a card! The sketch that I used is from Friday Sketchers. I've bought these papers a while ago, they are from Echo Park Paper co 'Life is good'. Bright colors that are perfect for this cute stamp. It's a House Mouse and I just love it! The challenge at House Mouse & Friends is to use your favorite House Mouse stamp. Well, I've got lots of favorites and this is one of them.
I've made the flowers myself and that's the challenge at Simon Says Stamp challenge blog 'make your own embellishments'.
I've added lots of rhinestones to give the card some extra bling. The card is 15x15 cm, a size that I don't use a lot but with this big stamp I didn't had a choice :)
I've tried several places to make a good photo but it is still too yellow even though it's a bright day and the sun is shining...

Sketch Saturday

It's already Saturday again and that means a new sketch at Sketch Saturday! I've used my new papers from Basic Grey 'Hopscotch'. It's a nice paperpad but the colors are also a little too soft, not easy to use I'm afraid... The calendar comes from a tiny cd-box but I can't find the name of the brand on it. It contains several different journaling cards.
We are sponsored this week by Simon Says Stamp. A $25 gift certificate will be awarded to our lucky winner this week to spend on goodies in the SSS store!
Hope to see you all at Sketch Saturday!
