A card just happened

Some cards take you 4 days to make and than all of a sudden a card just happens. You don't hesitate what is nice, what looks good and what doesn't.
One hour later it is just there and you are all happy about it.




DCL, sketch # 5

The fifth sketch of dutch card lovers already. The DT made some absolutely gorgeous cards themselves.
Momentarilly I am abolutely in love with the flowers I used and bought at hobbyshoppie.nl

Kazan's sketsch 29

This card has been on my table for I think about 4 days. I just couldn't finish it. I was so tired of working a lot at odd hours.
Somehow I just couldn't follow the sketch good enough without it not being my own style. I really thought about giving up and just throw it away.
Today the plane broke down and us, crew, could go home again. Now I finally finished it.
I am not real sure or it still is totally according to the sketch but that is up to Kazan ofcourse. I finished it and am kind of glad with that.

Dutch card lovers, sketch 4

This card was made to enter the DCL, #4, challenge. I really wanted to do a card without angels........hihi...........after this one I have only got one other left so I have to think of something else than angels.
I did some altering in the inside as well.

Mum's crocheted flower again.

Well, I don't feel it is gonna be a top 3 but I am gonna enter it anyway.
Have a great day!

Two more angels

You didn't think I was finished with the angels already now, did you? No girls, here are some more. The cardboard like background is from the inner packaging of Melba toast. Talking about recycling!
For the second card I used the same angel and the same Melba toast packaging but I now added some glitters to it.
At this picture you can't see to well that I have added the same pink ribbon I put on the left hand side, at the right side as well.
And that's why I took the pic below.
So, I am off to celebrate my sis' birthday. Enjoy your saturday night!

Another Angel

Same angel, different card.



Angel

This card is for my spanish teacher who is such a great person. I had to send her something and thought it would be nice to add a card.
Don't you just love the angel?
I added the flowers my mom made me again.

crochet flowers

My mother made me a few flowers and I really love them so I was waiting for an opportunity to use them.
Life has been busy lately and didn't leave me much time to scrap. That's why it has been quiet on my blog.
And now life is calling me again. I really need to iron! Yeach!

Have fun on your birthday

This one looks a little like one of the cards I made monday. I liked it very much so I tried making another color, other papers etc.
What do you think?
Recognize something Martha? Hihi.



Fathers day

I don't like making cards for men cause I am not good at it. Or am I not good at it because I don't like it.................?
Whatever.........I tried making a fathers day card.
I am gonna send it to my stephfather. My own father is cruising around the Netherlands with his boat for a month and doesn't have a forwarding adress obviously.

Do I need to explain that Vaderdag means fathers day. No...............I don't, have I?
Well maybe for the ones that have blond moments as much as I have.

Thanks Martha

Hi there girls, I am exhausted, been painting the livingroom. Actually it is not finished yet so more work for me tomorrow.
I have not been scrapping but there is a card I haven't shown you yet as I made it for Martha and I didn't want her to see it before she recieved it.
Martha is in my top 3 of scrappers. Iralamija is the other one and I haven't decided on number 3 yet, hihi.
Anyway, Martha made me butterflies with her cuttlebug with paper I sent her. She is just to sweet for doing that for me.
I recieved them in my mailbox today and I am happy as a child.
Wish me luck with painting girls, my body is aching allover. Not just to this kind of hard work, lazy as I am.
Oh, if I only was rich and could have a painter do the work for me................*sigh*

It's a cat's life

This cat embellishments I got, along with a lot of other scrap stuff, from my mother and her husband and they were just waiting to be used.
Today was the day. I found great use for them in this green/brown/yellow card.

The weather here in Holland is to die for. I took the pic outside in the garden because the light out there is great when it is sunny.

Well, ladies, I am gonna enjoy my sunny garden now.
