Romantic blue





 Good day

Yesterday I took some time off to spend in my craft room. I made a DT project for next week and while browsing through the possible challenges, a few caught my eye. I played with some dies and embossing folders for this wedding card. The heart die was a birthday gift. I just love white for wedding cards but the blue just added a bit of a romantic touch.

Challenges I'm joining:
2 Sisters on the Blog - October - Diagonal - Tauw, kant, blauw

Hope you have a wonderful weekend ahead.
Hugs from Africa!

Freebie Friday at Catch the Bug



Good day

Friday is a good day for many reasons. One of it, is that it is Freebie time at Catch the Bug. Since I'm not a big Halloween fan, I'm thankful for this lovely mouse with its balloons for this week. My training group is also a bit older than I am and they have asked for some baby cards. I decided to used some Ballerina, sage and linen for this one. Papers are from Lady K's twinkle toes and First Editions' Hide Away. I used a emboss folder and added some rhinestones. Image was coloured with Prisma Pencils. Some sentiment and balloon confetti were used for the final touch.

Challenges I took inspiration from:
Creative Knockouts #372 - Embossing Delight
Crafty Catz #523 - Anything Goes 
Color My Heart Color dare #415 - Ballerina, Sage & Linen
Cheerful Sketches - October Sketch

Hope you will pop over to Catch the Bug and grab the freebie. As easy just click on the image for download.
Hugs from Africa!

New season




 Good day

We have a new owner at Creative Moments. Luckily the transition between Alex and Barbara went so smoothly we almost did not see the difference. I have to thank Alex for the time I have worked with her. I really enjoyed it! I wish her well with her health. Then I am looking forward to work with Barbara. I think the only big difference is the time zone. 

Scribbles is one of our sponsors this round. I used some of there freebies called Summer Treats. Summer is on its way here in the southern hemisphere and that can only bring ice cream to the table. This time I opted for a slimline card.  I used plaid paper from Hide Away by First Edition. Coloured the image with Prisma Pencils and used a ribbon and rhinestones from my stash. I added some sparkle to the ice cream and lollies. 

Challenges I'm joining:
Craft Rocket #75 - Add Sparkle
Shopping our Stash - Slimline cards
The Outlawz Colour challenge 6 - 19 October - Orange, red, green with twist of no pumpkins

Hope you'll come and join us at Creative Moments!
