Magnolia sweet

I really like these papers from MME, they are so versatile! And I'm really into pink these days. I bought this wonderfull stamp and thought this paper would be perfect. I also got some yummy scrap goods from My Whiff of Joy (my favourites!).
I also did some paper piecing again, because I love the effect it has on this stamp!

With this challenge I can enter the 'anything goes' challenge from the Magnolia challenge blog.
Man, I would LOOOOOVE to win that prize! I probably would need a bigger room then, because I can't store so much yummy stuff!!!

I also used a sketch from 'Sketch Saturday'. I really like how much different things there can be made with just one sketch. No card is the same! Go check out the wonderful creations of the DT over there!

Materials:
Stamp: Magnolia
Paper: MME - laundry line (pink)
Flowers: Prima's and ... ?
Charm and headpins: Whiff of joy
Extra's: pearls, splitpens and leafs

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

Cute Card Thursday

Oh my lord! It seemed to take me like... forever! to finish this card. I don't know why, but my papers didn't seem to match. It was the first time I used a metal charm and it wouldn't stick to the ribbon. I glued my ribbon to the wrong side. The card seemed to have 'something' missing...
I have the feeling that this is not my style of card-making for some odd reason, but when it WAS fi-nal-ly finished, I was pretty pleased with the result.
And using a metal charm for the first time, what'd you reckon? :)
With this card I can enter the 'Cute Card Thursday' challenge, since the challenge is to use SOMETHING metal on your card. Tadaa.

I used a Magnolia image. I had this idea in my head where the ribbon MUST be on the left side and this image fits very well, because the magniola image is facing the ribbon. Much better this way :)

Papertake weekly challenge

Een vriendin van mij is binnenkort jarig en ik weet dat ze heel veel van paars houdt. Daarom deze kaart in verschillende paarse tinten.
Ook handig voor de papertake weekly challenge, waaruit je kan kiezen uit een zelfgemaakte kleurencombo, namelijk "pink, black, white, yellow, green, grey and lilac".

It's the birthday of a friend of mine soon and I know she likes purple a lot! That's why I made this card in different shades of purple.
This card fits perfect for the papertake weekly challenge, where you can choose from a colour combo you can pick yourself, the colours beeing 'pink, black, white, yellow, green, grey and lilac.'

Papers: cardstock
Stamp: Magnolia
Flowers: Prisma flowers (I think)
Embellies: eyelets, ribbon

Let's celebrate

Pfieuw!! Deze kaart heeft me vier uur of zo gekost om te maken. Ik was er mee bezig, maar moest toen gaan fitnessen. Toen ik terugkwam, was ik helemaal uit mijn ritme! Ik wou de kaart laten liggen tot morgen, maar besefte toen dat het de laatste dag is dat ik de kaart kan inleveren voor 'A Spoon Full of Sugar'. Ik ben toch enorm blij met het resultaat. Hard werk wordt beloond. LOL
Voor de zekerheid... De eerste foto is de voorkant van de kaart. Als je de kaart opent, komt de binnenkant tevoorschijn (tweede foto). De kaart paste juist op de scanner, gelukkig :)

Pfieuw!! This card took me like four or what hours to make!! I was working on it, but then I had to leave for my fitness. When I got back, I totally lost my rythm. I wanted to leave the card for tomorrow, but then I realised that this is the last day that I can enter it for 'A Spoon Full of Sugar'. I'm so pleased with the result. Hard work pays! LOL

NESTIES!!

Na dagen van kwijlen op de nestabilities, zette ik de stap om ze te kopen!! Hoewel ze een beetje kostelijk zijn, heb ik er zeker geen spijt van!!


After days of drooling at the nestabilities, I finally got the nerve to buy them!! Although they are a bit pricy, I definitally don't regret it!!

Sketch saturday

Bij 'sketch saturday' moesten we ons weer aan een schets houden. Niet dat ik dat erg vind, ik hou van schetsen en deze was een zeer leuke! En de prijs die je kan winnen, wauw! Snel gaan kijken en meedoen, zou ik zo zeggen.

At 'sketch saturday' we had to keep ourselves to a sketch. Not that I mind, I like sketches and this one was a nice one! And the price that comes with it if you win, woooow! Go take a look fast en enter, if I may say so.

Love is in the air - A spoon full of sugar

Op de site van 'A spoon full of sugar' weten ze dat Valentijn eraan komt. Daarom is het thema deze week 'een liefdeskaart maken'. Ik denk dat bij sommigen de lay-out wel doet denken aan een bepaalde schets :)

At the site from 'A spoon full of sugar' they know Valentines coming. That's way this week the theme is 'to make a lovecard'. I think the lay-out of the sketch rings a bell by a few people.

scrapkaart

Na het maken van een kaartje had ik nog een heleboel stukjes over. Heb dan maar dit kaartje gedaan.

After making a card I had a whole lot of scraps left. I made this card with them.

Magnolia Stamp

Gisteren een Magnolia stempel gekocht. Ik kon niet wachten om hem uit te proberen! Hij is op basis van een schets, maar je zou hem er niet meer in herkennen! De 'Happy Birthday' achtergrond zocht ik al lang en heb hem door de Cuttlebug gedraaid.

Yesterday I bought a Magnolia Stamp. He's so cute that I couldn't wait to try it out! I made the card at base of a sketch, but you wouldn't recognize it any more! LOL. The 'Happy Birthday' background was something I was looking for quite some time nog and I used it with my Cuttlebug.
