Hi everyone!

Sorry I've been MIA. My mother was in hospital again, everything is ok now. But my mind was elsewhere as you can imagine. Family first as they say.

I made this project a couple of weeks ago.

When I saw it on one of the blogs I thought it would be nice to make for someone

who lives the whole summer in a large caravan which is not movable and stays in one place. 

Here is one side:

this is the back:

This is the other side:

The front:

A close up of one of the windows on the side:

The base is made of strong cardboard and covered with design paper before it was put together.

All papers are Marianne Design. The pattern I got HERE and is free for everyone to copy.

This was fun to make!!!

Thank you for stopping by,

Music maestro!

Hi everyone in the land of blog! It's been a while since I posted anything.

The card I'm showing today couldn't go life until today. The birthday girl is a blogwatcher.

Hereby I want to congratulate her on her birthday again,

 *wink wink* you know who you are *smile*.

The dies are all Marianne Design, the DP is from a paperpad also

from Marianne called La Musique, one of the 6 inch blocs.
The flower is from Petaloo, Chantilly Collection. Lovely coloured flowers with sparkles on the petals. And some flatback pearls in green and off white from my stash.

The sentiment says: Congratulations on your birthday.

Did you notice the saxophone on the design paper? Well this birthday girl happens to play the saxophone and I know she likes green, so I had no choice but to create a green music card!

And this is to show it's an easelcard.

I hope you like what you see and let me know. Thank you!

Challenge Canary blog

Hi there!

Today's card is to honor the birth of a new blog: Het Canary Blog. We all had the chance of getting this free digi and you have to make a card with it before the end of this month. Not too difficult I should say.

Papers are Marianne Design: Pretty Papers Bloc Dutch Design.

The tulip die is also by her hand.

I coloured with watercolourpencils.

Here's a peek at the inside: the sentiment die is also Marianne Design.

I'm entering the challenge with this card:

I enjoyed making this one and I hope you like it too :-)

Happy Birthday Mom

Hi there,

I must apologize for my absence. No excuses, I just didn't make any card, shameful I know!! Anyhow this card I made for my Moms 82nd Birthday and she loved it. She thought I made her a weddingcard ;-).

I used several dies from different brands: Cheery Lynn Designs, Marianne Design, Spellbinders. Embossingfolders from Cuttlebug, roses and Swiss dots.

A flower die from Joy! Crafts and a flower by Wild Orchid Crafts.

That is all for today, I hope you enjoy this card as much as I enjoyed making it.

Thank you for stopping by and hope to see you back soon.

HUGS,

New home

Hello to my patient followers and all other bloggers out there!

I wanted to show you this card much, much sooner, but you know how it is: life gets in the way.
Anyhow, this card is made for a removel.
I used a lot of dies as you can see.
What you can't see on these pic's is: I made glass windows.

The dies I used: the house is Marianne Design, it went three times through my Cuttlebug each time an other paper colour,

the grass and the greenery on the roof is Cheery Lynn Designs, some lace I bought on a marketplace.

A close up:

A peek at the inside: the big sentiment says: Good luck in your new home.

The smaller one says: Dreams come true. Both sentiments are Marianne Design.

Thank you for stopping by!

On your Birthday - challenge at Wild Orchid Crafts -

For todays card I got inspired by a Dutch book: "Op en top nostalgie" (back in time with cards). As I wanted it to look a bit different I used an other image (vintage by Marianne Design)

The design papers are Marianne Design too and so are all the dies I've used.

A close-up at the inserted mini card:

The flowers are all Wild Orchid Crafts,

I even managed to squeeze some lilies in I won the other day (aren't they gorgeous?)

A closer look at all the flowers:

And this is the inside:
The sentiment is from Lili of the Valley.

This card is in the challenge of

Second slide card

Hello everyone!

I'd like to show you one of my cards :).

I made the same card as I did a while back, but I haven't shown it yet.

I hope you like it:

I used (a lot of) dies and papers from Marianne Design, all the flowers are from WOC.

And here it is open:

I didn't make a sentiment yet because I don't know whom it is for...
Thanks for stopping by.

A bouquet of flowers in green & peach

Hello everyone!

I'm afraid I've been missing for quite a while. I thought it would be nice if I showed you the card I made a earlier. I'm still making cards but I'm having a problem: not all my cards can be given to people having their birthdays. There are more cards than birthdays, lol. But that is not your problem now is it?

On to my card:

The gogeous corner is Marianne Design and the lace is Wild Orchid Crafts.

Here a close up at the image:

Thank you for stopping by!

HUGS,

Get well soon

Hi everyone!

It's been cold and wet outside. I've been busy making some cards and today I'm showing this one :). One of the ladies was taken to hospital and after surgery and spending a few days in hospital, luckily she is home now. I made her this card.

Papers and dies are Marianne Design, flowers are by WOC. The rose stamp is by Ludiec and coloured with Twinkling H2O. Ribbon and lace were bought on a market.

First Christmas card

Hi all bloggers!

I've been making cards for several occations

and today's card is a Christmas card as you can see, duh. My very first one this year, I can do

 without the Christmas stress by making some of the cards in this time of year.

I used a designable from Marianne Design.

I used a stamp I won in August 2010 at LOTV blog. The gold holly berry and

the pointsettia are from Wild Orchid Crafts. The pointsettia was taken apart

and reassembled with white stamens

which I coloured first with Twinkling H2O, Egyptian Gold.
A close up from the little angel:

Isn't she adorable?

I used a Pretty Paper Bloc by Marianne Design called Summerfun. Some very old flowers with new centers,

the greenery are Marianne D. dies, the butterflies are Cheery Lynn Design.
A closer look at the image:

Inside looks like this:
The sentiment says: Congratulations on your Birthday in Dutch.
