Back to school

Hi,

Next week it is back to school in our region of the Netherlands.
The children have had 6 weeks of summer vacation. I had three weeks off from work and will be starting work also next week.
My next card has a "back to school" theme.

The stamp is from Yumi & Fumi. I stamped it first then scanned it in my computer to color it using Photoshop.
The paper is from Yellow lemons on Etsy. The sentiment is part of a collage sheet from Paperglitter.
Added a little apple shaped brad and a paper gem clip.

Entering this card in the following challenges:

I finally finished my travel journal from our trip to Ireland, now I only have to take pictures of the journal.
This weekend I will make a blogpost and show you the result.
Hope to see you again, thanks for stopping by.

Mother's day circle card

Hi,

Challenge #15 at Yumi and Fumi challenge blog is "a shaped card for mom".
Sadly my mother passed away four years ago, I miss her very much.
But I made a card for my boyfriend's mother who will be very happy with this mother's day card.
She is also into cardmaking and we visit the craft fair in Arnhem together twice a year.

My new yumi and fumi stamp "fumi with turtle" arrived just in time.
I stamped the image on paper and scanned it to my computer, so I could color it using Photoshop.
The card base I cut out using my cuttlebug.
The background paper is digital from my baby giggles Etsy shop.

                                  

Some pink twine and a cute heartshaped button for the finishing touch.

The flower in the front of the card I made the other day using my cuttlebug and a a plain tissue.

It turned out pretty nice and I'm hoping to make some other tissue flowers next week.

My shaped card I'm entering in the next challenges:
