Christmas glitter

Friday, September 27, 2013

Hello,

Today I made my first Christmas card this year using some new die cuts I bought at a crafting booth at our local market.
They are the Christmas village from Marianne design .

I used one of the little houses and the tree die cut. Cut the shapes out of pink and green glitter cardstock.

I tear up some white cardstock to make a snowy landscape.

The sentiment I printed on the blue circle. The fir branch is also from Marianne Design.

I would like to enter this circle card in the following christmas challenges:

Howdy folks,

A few months ago I made a cowgirl themed card using a digital stamp from Some Odd girl called cowgirl Mae.
For this months sketch challenge at Some odd girl I used that same digital stamp.
I colored the digi in photoshop, using a pattern for the shirt.
The paper is from Amy Johansson at Etsy.
The twine is from Whimsy farm. I made the sentiment myself.

Whimsy Farm Twine

Wednesday, September 18, 2013

Hi peeps,

Today I'm not sharing a card creation with you (I'm working on a craft project for Trimcraft) but I would like to share the following:

A few months ago I was the winner of a card challenge and very happy with that because the price was 3 spools of twine from the
WHIMSY FARM.
As most of you crafty girls I love twine.
So I wrote a mail to the challenge owner to organize my price. I didn't receive any reaction,
wrote two times, waited a few more weeks, but nothing.

I decided to mail the sponsor of the price, Angie from Whimsy Farm.
She shorted it out for me and mailed me back that I could pick my price.
I thought that was very kind of her.
I picked 3 spools from the many lovely colors available.
And today the package arrived from Australia (very fast).
To my surprise there were not 3 but 8 spools in the package!!!
Isn't that terribly nice?
Hooray for Angie - what a lovely person you are! THANKS!

If you want to purchase some lovely twine please visit her website.
You can also read all about Angie's sad little "fairytale" and how the twine is named.

Have a nice day.

Our journey documented

Hi,

I have finished my travel notebook about our trip to Ireland. I hope my images give you a good impression on how it turned out.
I used all kinds of free printables, like journaling cards, little enveloppes, scrapbook papers, stickers and buttons. During the trip I collected information from the places we went and the hotels we stayed. When we got home I put the journal together using all the info, leaflets, photo's etc.
