What's on your workdesk Wednesday?

Hellow!
I've found a great new blog, where you are asked to take a picture of your workdesk on wednesday. It's great to look at all those people who are running their creative minds.
This week, I've decided to take part as well. I worked on a card yesterday and this is how my desk still looks after finishing my card.



This desk actually stands in my bedroom. I still live with my parents, so I can use my bedroom as a scraproom too.
It kinda looks tidy haha. The box on the right side with the blue lid is where I store my copics. The desks with all the drawers (looks like those hands are waving at you guys, hellow :-)) are not only for my scrapbooking supplies, allthough it be good space haha. But since I'm a girl, there are much things for my hair maintenance as well. LOL.

And off course I have to show you what I've done with all the papers that are laying on my desk...






So this is the card I made. And with this card I can enter a few challenges too. Who's multi-tasking now :)
I've tried something different to colour the dress of the dear princess. At first I didn't like it, but I didn't dislike it as well. So I decided to give it a go and glue it on my card and now I think it looks rather fine. Sometimes things come together hm...

I hope you've enjoyed looking!

My little project

My newest project... a new jewelery box! I was a bit tired of my old one and I thought it didn't have a good structure. It was a nice project but I'm NEVER doing this again. LOL. It took me two complete days to finish it!!
First I took the wrong drawer-openers, so I couldn't get the drawers open. I had to redo the whole thing again with splitpens. What an assignment!!!
Then the drawers on top of it are a bit too big, but I really needed them for some earrings that wouldn't fit in the little boxes.
And at last I made some sort of easel thinghy to make everything stand straight.
Ow well, at least I managed to do something else than a card :)
And I've used a new Magnolia stamp and the technique of paper piecing again. Man, what is this stamp great to use paper piecing on!! This was my favourite bit of it all.
So, I hope you like it. Me... I have a new jewelry box that finally separates my earrings (can you believe that I still had to put two or three pieces of earrings at one box. Paper addict? Try earring-addict! LOL).
Ow ow, and I tried out a tutorial to make my own flower. You like? I do!! I LOVE IT!
Thanks for looking!


With this project, I can cover two challenges:
Stamptacular Sunday Challenge: Sugar and spice and everything nice (for the second time allready)
Just Magnolia: Fold it!

I keep hearing on the challenges to turn of the word verification. I have absolutely no idea if this is the case on my blog. Can somebody tell me if you have to do this when you leave a comment? (yeah, I'm not a computerwiz... :( )

Materials:
Stamp: Magnolia
Colours: Paper piecing and Copics
Flowers: home-made and Prima Flowers (Got dots) and e-lines I think
Paper: MME, Laundry Line, some DCMV
Extra: some metal charm I got for free, and some brads

Sugar and spice and everything nice!

I got so inspired by the creation of Barb (click --> here <-- for her blog) over at Stamptacular Sunday Challenge that I decided to alter a box too. That's why the DT is there for right, to make you get inspired? :)


Here are some close-ups from the box as I am very proud of my flowers and pearls!


Here you can see the box in it's original shape. Next to it is the box in it's altered shape. I am soooo happy with the way it turned out! Normally altering things isn't really my thing, but I really had to give it a go after seeing the wonderfull creations of the DT. It turned out a little bit vintage. I always try that look, but it always fails. Now I didn't try and it turned out great. What an irony!

With this challenge, I'm entering the Stamptacular Sunday Challenge 'Sugar and spice and everything nice!'. It's a challenge to create something especially for girls. I don't know yet what I'm going to do with the box, but I allready know that is only for girls . LOL

Materials:
Stamp: Magnolia
Papers: laundry line from My Mind's Eye
Flowers: prima's, e-line,... some from Action LOL
Ribbon: Also Action, 1 euro for 5 ribbons (all 1.5 metres). What a bargain!
Colour: Copic Markers
Extra's: some pearls from my stash

Going for it

Ik was zo geïnspireerd dat ik met hetzelfde papier een tweede kaartje heb gemaakt. Wederom een mannenkaart met een stempel van Whiff of joy.
Ookal heb ik er bloemen op geplaatst, de brads maken het mannelijker en ietwat stoerder.
Kijk ook even naar de fan-tas-tische close-up die ik met mijn fototoestel kan maken. Jeej. Ik ben fan!

Met deze kaart kan ik ook meedoen aan de challenge 'flower power' van de Stamptacular Sunday Challenge.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was so inspired that I made another card, also a male card, with a stamp from Whiff of joy. Even though I used some flowers, I think the brads make it more manly and tuffer.
Also look at the fa-bu-lous close-up that I can make with my new camera now. Jippie, I'm a fan!

With this card I can also enter the Stamptacular Sunday Challenge, 'flower power'.

Whiff of joy

I love the whiff of joy stamps. And now, Katharina is hosting a guest designer spot. I thought, what the heck, why not? Go to her website to check out the details. You needed to follow the recipe of: - one button - one ribbon - two designer papers - one cardstock With this challenge, I decided to give a go at an easel card. I'm sooo gonna make these things again. They are so much fun!

It's a bit hard to see, but I also used the glazing technique from the Wiff of Joy tutorial blog. What was the result surprising! I loved to see the embossing powder melt away under my heat tool. mmmmm. Hehe.
I couldn't have enough of it, so embossed the text stamp as well.

Christmas in March

I love the challenge blog Winter Wonderland. Here you can stock up for Christmas, so you don't have that 'last-minute-stress' at the end of the year.
This week their theme is 'Monochromatic Christmas'. I adore making card monochromatic and layering all those different shades of one colour. And I also love working with the colour 'blue' to do this.
I still had a coloured image (my very first take with the Copic Markers), so this card was made under 40 minutes (woohoe!).
I still had some scraps left, so I decided to decorate the inside of the card too.

Go check out their blog and the fabolous price they have to offer!

Flower box

I bought so many flowers and reorganizing the whole lot, I discovered that I'm out of space for this little precious.
This is my solution:
1) Take a box with stamps and unload it.
2) Put the stamps in another stamp box that still has a little room.
3) Take the initial box.
4) Put ALL your flowers in the box.
5) Put some flowers you want to keep apart in another box.
6) Check the pictures.






I do know that this isn't the best solution, since the flowers get torn up and stuff like this, but I simply have no room to do it otherwise.
When I move out the parental house, I have much bigger plans for them :)

And as for now... I think I'll amuse myself with my lifelong supplies LOL

Baby It's cold outside!

Bij Double Dutch is er het thema: BABY IT'S COLD OUTSIDE. Yeah baby! Goed thema voor deze tijd van het jaar. Inspiratie genoeg om TWEE kaartjes te maken in dit thema. Geladen met een nieuwe lichting Whiff of Joy stempels, nieuw scrappapier en een goed humeur slaagde ik er in geen tijd in om deze kaartjes te maken. You like :)

---------------------------------

At Double Dutch they have the next theme challenge: BABY IT'S COLD OUTSIDE. Yeah baby! Nice theme to fit this time of year. I had enough inspiration to make TWO cards for this theme. Packed with a new load of Whiff of joy stamps, new scrapbook paper and a great mood I succeeded to make these cards in no time. You like :)

Dit is dan de kaart met de binnenkant, waar ik een gewone kaart mee heb gemaakt.
Ben er nog steeds trots op.
Ik heb de stempel niet ingekleurd, omdat ik dat zo wel bij de stijl vond passen.

This is the card with the inside, a made a normal card with.
I'm still proud of it.
I didn't colour the stamp, because I thought it fitted the style of the card.

Challenge friday sketchers

Dit is mijn interpretatie op de schets van friday sketchers. Sorry voor de slechte kwaliteit, maar het lijkt erop dat ik mijn kaarten alleen maar op mijn blog gezet krijg als ik er een foto van neem. Slechte camera, slechte kwaliteit. Heb er echt eens een nieuwe nodig...
Tegenwoordig ben ik into het naaien, dus heb de knopen van de bloemen in mn kaart genaaid.

This is my take on the sketch for friday sketchers. I'm sorry for the bad quality but it seems I can't get my cards on my blog any other way than taking pictures with my camera. The thing is really old and I really need a new one :-).
I'm into stitching lately and I stitched the buttons onto my card.

Products:
Paper: Taj Mahal
Stamp: euuuhm good question, need to look that up.
Embellies: ribbon, buttons
Flowers: Prima flowers
