Cheers to Beauty

 Good day

It is time for a new challenge at Creative moments and we have a fun twist this month of summer fun. We are sponsored by Mirtillamente. I have used Le Gine: Dorothy. I have coloured her with Prisma pencils. She reminds me of warm summer holidays with cocktails at the beach and beautiful sunsets. I probable had a lot of ideas, but in the end I played with warm colours like green and red. The designer paper is from my Sea breeze paper pad from Marianne's design. I used a number emboss folder to go with my sentiment in Afrikaans saying each age has its own beauty. Cheers to beauty!

Challenges I'm joining:

Mirtillamente - June anything goes

Stick it down - July card sketch

Aud sentiment #294 - Summer and sentiment

Creative Knockouts #456 - Summer

Color Crazy Wk 23

Can you handle the pressure - Anything goes with emboss folder with twist of bird (did not play twist)

I made a quick sympathy card while hubby worked on the computer. Played with some of my favourite challenges. I used purple handmade paper. Used a die and with few flowers and sentiment die cut was the finishing touch.

Guest designer at Twisted Thursday

Good day

I was asked to be a guest designer at The Outlawz Twisted Thursday. When I received the month's challenges my brain started to work in overdrive and I decided it is a perfect time to try some new techniques and started printing some of my few images I have from the sponsor.. Then I got the news they are closing down in mid June and there all my inspiration was drained. But I ended up making this project for a father's day card. I used fishes from Wink wink wink who is our sponsor this month.

I played with paper from all for men. Used some heat embossing on the tag and to fit the sketch I added staples.  I have printed 2 different sizes of the same image, one black and white and the other 

pre-coloured. 

Challenges I'm joining:

Moving along with times #143 - Masculine / Father's day

Digi Doodles #50  - Boys and toys 

Sheepski Design #63 - Checks and or stripes

The Outlawz Tuesday Colour challenge 31 May - 15 June - Gray, blue, green twist Father's day

Thank you and hope you have a wonderful day.

New sketches with a reminder

Good day

It is already June. For some of us we are all looking forward to summer holidays, for others, like me, we are in the middle of winter. Super exciting. Luckily our winter is more or less 3 months and then summer will arrive. I'm at the beginning of a new season of my life and have mix senses, but I'm super excited for the change. Hopefully by the end of the month I' have some more news.

Today is also the start of new sketches at Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2. As always you can do with them what ever you love, though we do have a twist this month of red, white & blue in celebration of the Queen of England's jubilee.  

I did not do the twist this time around since I needed some other cards. 

For the first sketch I decided to use the image from Polkadoodles - Cute Cats and Kittens. This is also a reminder project for Creative Moments where polkadoodles are the sponsor. I've used some bits and pieces from my scrapbook stash from all about pets stash. 

Cute cats and kittens

Challenges I'm joining:

Daring Cardmakers: Flair not square

Polkadoodles Wk22 - Anything goes

Penny's paper craft #522 - Anything goes

For my second project I played with some die cuts from the Dada range from Nellie's choice, since my friend had a baby shower for her first grand child whom will arrive in July. The theme is all kinds of animals. I used kraft paper as base with some paper from my Safari stack from DCWV. I have personalized it a bit with the baby boy's name. Some brads and buttons was added as finishing touch.

Challenges I'm joining:

Creative Knockouts #454 - For the kids

Allsorts - #678 - Anything but Birthday

The Paper Shelter #514 - Inspired by a movie - Lion King

Moving along with times #143 - Masculine/Father's day
