Birthday card for a 1 year old





 Good day

This is just a quick post of a card that I made for a 1 year old. This is a lovely image of All Dressed Up called See Saw. With the delicate flowers on the image and the little girl with her wellies, it sure looks as if she is enjoying the first days of spring in the Northern Hemisphere. The paper is from my stash and is so subtle, so I stayed in the subtle shades with the colouring too. I added ribbon, twine and some rhinestones as finishing touch. 

Challenges I'm joining:
Daring Cardmakers - Spring Things
The Sisterhood of Crafters - Easter or Spring
The Outlawz Tuesday Colour Challenge 22 March - 5 April - White, Pink, Blue with twist of Spring

Thank you and hope you enjoy the season.
Hugs form Africa!

Baptism





 Good day

This was a special request project from a grandmother for her grand child's baptism.  I think this was a totally first for me too. So I browsed around and found some inspiration on the web and started to play with stuff. The sentiment was computer generated and I played with some different dies. With St Patrick's day yesterday this fresh green paper from Lemon Craft's Fresh Summer stack caught my eyes. The flower die is from Spellbinder an the border is from a stash that I received as gift. The lovely green enamel dots and rhinestones added the finishing touch.

Challenges I'm joining:
Color My Heart Color Dare #435 - Shades of green + one color (White)
Use Your Stuff #418 - Enamel Dots

Thank you and a have a blessed day!

Special Celebrations






Good day

I follow a lovely lady in Ohio and she tried her hand on something different lately. This inspired me to try something different too. CAS is totally not my style. I do suffer with a lot of open spaces. I have a lot of bits and pieces of dies that I have not used. A lot of them in black and white too, but in the end I only used the label with the white sentiment done in glitter paper. I have a few 50 Birthdays coming up this year and this lead to using a stamp from Fiskar that is like from ages in my stash.  It took me much longer to make up my mind than to make the card in the end. But that is probably why it is called CAS. 

Challenges I'm joining:
Perfectly CAS #13 - Birthdays
Colour Hues #14 - Black and White

Hope you have one fine day!

A new challenge at Creative Moments

                                                    







 Good day

On the 7th of a month it is the start of a new challenge at Creative Moments. We are sponsored by Cute as a Button. We had 2 images to play with. Mine is Joshua Aviator. I took my inspiration from the inspirational photo, not as much the space theme, though my airplane is a bit lower than space. The colours and dots made me think of this piece of paper in my stash. So I used dies and colours to enhanced my inspiration. By luck there is even a number on the image, though it is a seven. The sentiment is stamped and is in Afrikaans for happy birthday. 

Challenges I'm joining:
Incy Wincy 1 - 14 March - Work/play or big hearts.
Crafty Catz #541 - Dies or punches (2nd entry)
Cute as a Button #66 - Anything goes with optional twist purple and green

Hope you'll come and join us at Creative Moments.
Hugs from Africa!

Catch the Bug Anything Goes


Good day

I'm always super excited when there is a new challenge at Catch the Bug. And the first Saturday of this month it is a fun Anything goes. Since I have a few 18th birthdays on its way I thought I'll start making cards for these occasions. I used Guy with Car Key. Since at 18 we can obtain a driver's licence and for a young man that means FREEDOM. I used paper from my stash. The first time I have used the Purple Magnolia Circle border. Twine is from my recycled bin and I added a key charm as final touch.

Challenges I'm joining:

Hope you'll come and join us at Catch the Bug. Can't wait to see you there!

18 on a bike




 Good day

A friend of ours' son is turning 18 tomorrow. So I quickly made him a card with some die cuts. The bike is from hobby solutions. The oval is a faux stitch die from Crea-Lies. I used the other ends of my Christmas tree this time for the corner swirls. The 18 is done in a navy blue, though on the photo it looks black. 

Challenges I took inspiration from:
Crafty Catz #541 - Anything goes with die cuts and punches
Color Hues #13 - Blue and Yellow
Creative Knockouts #391 - All Stitched up

Thank you and have a great weekend.
Hugs from Africa!

You are 30!





Good day

Today I just want to share a card that I made for a friend of mine's son in law. I used an image called Roadster from Createful Heart, since this young man loves sport cars. I used poly chromes to colour it. The paper is from my stash and I used the end part of a Christmas tree for the swirls in the corners. Sentiment is from Desert Diva. 

Challenges I'm joining:
Colour Crazy Craft Wk 9 - Anything goes
Tuesday Morning Sketches #595
Use Your Stuff #417 - Plaid
The Outlawz Festive Fridays 5 - 18 March - Special Birthdays
