Happy 60th birthday

Good morning everybody! How are you doing? Did you do anything special this weekend? We decided to take advantage of the beautiful sunny day and go on a short trip on Saturday. It was really nice. And yesterday we went for a long(er) walk around the town. 

I want to remind you that we have a sketch challenge going on at The sketchy challenges blog. I hope you will come and play with us.

Here's the card I made...

One of my relatives celebrated his 60th birthday in September and this is the card I made for him. Since it was a card for a guy I didn't want to add too many embellishments, but I couldn't stay away from pearls. *ooops*

For the card I used Maja design papers and different die cuts to make the card more "elegant". I think this card is pretty self explinatory, but if you have any questions, feel free to ask. :)

Have a beautiful day!

Angels we have heard on high

Hello everybody! How are you? Are you ready for Christmas? I thought I was, but I figured out I am not quite ready just yet... I have already bought most of my presents, but I am still missing a few bits of this and that. I was going to get them over the weekend, because we were planning to do some Christmas shopping, but then it was raining heavily, so we stayed at home. Maybe we'll go next week - we'll see.

I'm back with another card for Magnolia-licious. If you haven't yet, do join our challenge here. You can win amazing prize. ;)

Again I used the super cute Flying angel Tilda stamp - I just couldn't resist. lol

For this card I used some pretty papers from Kaisercraft and different laces, pearl string and crystals from my stash as embellishments.

I coloured Tilda with distress inks (pads).

Flowers (poinsettias) were made with Foamiran. This was the first time I used it and I love it! I can see my new addiction. lol I did fail the first couple of times, but at the end I did get the result I wanted and I am really happy with how my poinsettias look like. :) Besides all the cute Magnolia products you can also get Foamiran at Magnolia-licious store. Do check it out!

So much from me today. You might want to take a peek at this blog again on Friday. Just saying... ;)

Have a great day! xx

Swinging into Christmas

Hello everybody! Just a couple of days left and THE day will be here. Are you excited? I'm really looking forward to it. This year even more, because it's my baby's first Christmas. So much fun! I was wrapping Christmas presents yesterday so now I'm pretty much done with all the preparations for the big day. Yay! :)

Here's another one of the Christmas cards in non-traditional colours I made this year.

I used the beautiful glittery paper from Bo Bunny and some other papers from my stash. I really like this colour combination. I haven't done any colouring with distress inks in a while, so I thought I would change this and therefore I grabbed those ink pads and coloured this cutie. On the bauble and on the white parts of the dress I also used diamond stickles.

Around the image I glued pearl string and then I used some die cut stars, a piece of cheesecloth, some gems and small pop pom trim to decorate the card.

Have a wonderful holiday season! Hugs! xx

Snow is falling

Hello everybody! How are you doing? Do you have any snow where you live? We don't have any yet. I don't mind we don't have any now, but I hope we will get some for Christmas.

I amd about to show you a Christmas card I made with one of the adorable WOJ stamps.

I used papers from Kaisercraft and I decorated the card with some pearls, lace and crystals. I coloured the image with Promarkers and pencils and I added stickles on the snowflakes, snow ball and parts of snow. 

Have a wonderful day! xx
