Congratulations!

Some wonderfull news! People I know just had a baby boy, Kenzo.
I couldn't let this moment pass without making a card, so here's my take on it.



Have you noticed that I didn't use any flowers here?




I couldn't pass up the chance of decorating the inside with my new toy: shrinkpaper. I just love it!

With this card I used the sketch from Double Dutch, so I can enter this challenge

Materials:
Papers ~DCWV and some cardstock
Stamp ~ Iris
Metal charms ~ Whiff of joy
Other ~butterfly punch, ribbon, pearls, my shrinkpaper :)

With a whiff of joy

Materials:
Stamp - Whiff of joy
Papers - Laundry line - MME
Colour medium - copic markers
Extra's - flowers, pearls
charm and head pins (also Whiff of joy)

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

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 :)
