Let's celebrate spring

This post will stay on top til April 21. Please scroll down for newer posts. Thank you!

Hi there! My favourite time of the year is finally here. Oh, how I looooove these warmer days, sun, I love seeing flowers blooming ... Oh yes, spring arrived. :D And since today is the first day of spring, I thought I'd offer a small candy on my blog to celebrate this wonderful season. What do you think? Do you like the idea? ;) I put together some things that remind me of spring.

Here's the picture of what you can win ...

There are some flowers, fabric butterflies, ribbon in spring colours (and one with flowers) and a tiny flower punch (isn't it cute?!). I hope you like what I put together for you. :)

So, what you need to do to get the chance to win these goodies ...
1.) Be a follower of my blog (please, only follow me if you like my blog, not just because of the candy).
2.) Post a picture of my candy on your blog (sidebar) and link back to my blog.
3.) Use latin alphabet; all entries written with cyrillic letters will be deleted!
4.) Leave your info with Mr. Linky. Be fair and only enter once please. However, if you helped me with "you-know-what" in February (you know who you are), you can enter twice. :)
5.) Leave me a comment in case Mr. Linky goes bye bye (it has a bad habit of doing so sometimes). But please keep your comments in English or Slovenian. Thank you!

And that's it. :) Easy peasy. :D

The candy ends on April 21 (midninght) and I'll announce the winner a day or two after that. Good luck!

Things with wings

Spring is in the air and this means you can hear the birds singing, you can see the butterflies all around, you can stop and smell the flowers ... This is my favourite time of the year!

At Crafty ribbons challenge blog we have a spring related challenge for you - THINGS WITH WINGS - we want to see something that has wings on your card. My first association to this was "butterflies" (what a "surprise", right? lol), but of course you can also create a card/project with fairies, angels, bees ... We would love it if you also used some ribbons on your card/project (esp. if it's from Crafty ribbons store), but it's not a must.

Here's the card I made for this challenge ...

This card has a lot of my favourites on it. The quote that I used on my card is one of my favourites, my favourite colour is blue and I just love butterflies. :) The papers I used are from Provo Craft and the sentiment stamp is from Cloud 9 design. The butterflies are a MS punch and the ribbons are from Crafty ribbons. The flower is from my stash. The swirl was made using Marianne design die. I raised the scalloped circle on foam pads to give the card some dimension.

For this challenge we have an extra special prize. I'm sure you'll LOVE it. You can win a copy of Crafty ribbons DVD with lots of FAB ribbon ideas/tutorials.

Here's a short video to give you the idea about the DVD.



So, this is all from me today. I hope you'll come and play with us. :) Hugs! xx

Paris anyone?

Heya! How are you all? Did you have a nice Easter? I spent Easter with my familyand we had a nice time. I ate  a lot (some would even say too much *blush*) of chocolate and other yummy desserts. Now it's time to be a good girl and start eating more healthy again. Did Easter bunny bring you any gifts? I got some lovely eggies and candy (seriously, how can a chocoholic like me not eat all those sweetes when they are all around?!).

Today I want to show you another card I made using the Eiffel tower stamp. Here it is ...

For this card I used leftover pieces of paper from my stash. The yellow ribbon, button and doily are from my stash as well and the black and white ribbon is from Crafty ribbons. The big butterfly is MS punch and the small butterflies are a Pracht punch. The Eiffel tower stamp is from Recollections. Over it I stamped with Faded text background stamp from Stampabilities and around it I stamped with Viva decor Floral embellishments stamps. 

I hope you like my card. Have a great day! Hugs! xx

Vintage pink and brown card

Hi there! How are you? Are you enjoying your week so far? I'm a bit tired, but otherwise I'm fine. I'm looking forward to weekend - it's gonna be a long(er) one; we are free on Monday too because of Easter. :D Yay!

Over the weekend I managed to do some crafting (surprise, surprise) and here's one of the cards I made. It's a very simple card, without embellishments. I love vintage style, so this time I decided to make something that has a vintage feel.

As you can see, I did A LOT of stamping. I didn't use any DP, just plain pink and brown cardstock. Isn't this Eiffel tower stamp awesome? I love it! Be sure to see much of it in the future. lol Over the pink cardstock I stamped with Faded text background from Stampabilities and Clinge stamp set (Eiffel tower)  from Recollections. The little butterflies are punched with "Pracht" punchset and the big butterfly is a MS punch. On the butterflies I put some diamond stickles.

That's it. Told you it was a simple card. ;) But even though it doesn't have embellishments, I'm happy with how it turned out.

I'd like to enter this card to the following challenges:
My mum's craft shop: Stamp it
Bunny Zoe's crafts: Vintage/Shabby chic

I wish you all a wonderful week! Hugs! xx

Black, white and one other colour

Hello, hello! Wow, how time flies by. Can you believe it's almost the end of March? O.o  Spring is waking up and Easter is just around the corner. Nice, nice. :P Do you have any special traditions for Easter where you live? Or any special yummy food (dessert or something similar) that you make for Easter? We often eat "potica" here. My grandma makes a yummy one. :)

Anyways ... Enough of babbling ... I started writing this post to tell you about the new challenge at Crafty ribbons challenge blog. Your host is sweet Dawn, who chose "Black, white + one other colour" to be the theme for this challenge.

For my card I chose purple to be that "plus one colour". Here's my card ...

I didn't use and DP, just plain white, black and purple cardstock, which I punched with my border punch. I embossed the white cardstock with Cottage floral embossing folder. The doily was actually white but I colored it purple with "Lilac" Paper soft colour from Viva decor. I bought this by mistake - I was actually looking for a purple stamping pad, but they didn't have it so I though that maybe this could work. Well, it sort of does, but it gives you kind of a "water looking" image when you stamp and this wasn't really what I was hoping for. But this colour turned out to be useful anyway. :) The fab polka dot ribbon (I LOVE polka dots!) is from Crafty ribbons. I used the sweet Dress up Marci from La-la Land Crafts as the main image (isn't she just too cute?!) and I colored her with Promarkers and colour pencils. On the beads and "white" part of her hat I used diamond Stickles. I won the sentiment stamp some time ago at one challenge blog. On the scalloped circle I used pearl pen from Viva decor.

I hope you like my card! :)

Oh, and before I forget ... Once again we have an amazing prize for the lucky winner. Look at what you can win...

Aren't these ribbons gorgeous? I love the bright colours!! If you want to win them, just come play with us. Who knows, luck might be on your side. ;) And if you are in a hurry, you can find all these ribbons on Crafty ribbons site. :)

I wish you all a wonderful day!
Hugs!
