White with loving Henry

Hi everyone!

Thank you for all your nice comments, lovely to read them.

This time a card with almost no colours. I didn't think I could make one but here it is:

I used:

the lovely Henry hugging mini stamp from Whiff of Joy,

designables and creatables from Marianne Design

a flower from Wild Orchid Crafts and

the lace from a market.

A closer peek:

You can see not every colour white is the same, ah well this is as good as it gets.

This card is in for 2 challenges:

Crafters Companion Monthly challenge: Anything goes

Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge: White on white (update: I've won this challenge!!)

Thank you for stopping by!

Roses are red

A warm welcome to my new blog followers! I also would like to thank everyone who left me a comment on my previous post(s). Lovely to see you like my creations :).

I was in a romantic mood when I made this one. Can you tell? All pink and roses.

The Design Paper is a pad called: Pale Pastels by Eline's winter huis. The gorgeous sentiment is also by her hand. The lovely flowers and pearls are from WOC. The lattice corner is a new die by Marianne Design. The leaves are a die also by Marianne D.

Here is a close up:

Here is a shot at the inside. As I don't know yet whom it is for I left it blanc.

On your Birthday

Yes, I am still alive :)! Sorry I didn't post earlier, maybe it is not an excuse but last Friday was my birthday and you know how busy things can be... As I was born on the 13th every once in a while it happens that my birthday is on a Friday. But that doesn't have any effect on me because I was born on a Sunday, how lucky is that?

I made a card for my Aunt. The little girl is in fact my Aunt! Many years ago *smile*.

The doily, branches and butterflies are dies from Cheery Lynn Designs. The butterfly embossingfolder is from Craft concepts.The brown cardstock is an old Color Core pad named The Chocolate box. After embossing I sanded the butterflies. Flowers and pearls are from Wild Orchid Crafts and the lace was bought on a market.
A closer peek:

The sentiment is from Lili of the Valley.

And here is the inside:

Today my Aunt phoned me and she said thanks for this very special gift.

Thank you for stopping by!

HUGS,

Sewing box

Hi! I hope you all have had nice presents from Mr. Santa. We all had our share of lovely gifts!

Today I want to show you this sewing box I made for my daughter-in-law. She makes such gorgeous embroideries and when I saw this tutorial I knew what I had to make for her birthday :D

This is one side:

This is the other side: The small pair of scissors is a die from Marianne Design.

All boxes can be opened so you can put presents in:

In the above pictures you can see I didn't finish both tops! I completely forgot to photograph them, so at Christmas we had our dinner in their home and I took the pics.

The tiny butterflies are from Cheery Lynne Designs, the sentiment is Marianne Design, a brown tag, some lace and beautiful chrystals from Prima Marketing Inc. The DP is from Jack n' Jill Collection "Ode to Joy" (Prima Marketing aswell)

This is the other side:

Thank you for dropping by and it is always nice to read comments.

HUGS!
