Just playing

Just playing with some punches, a stamp and a cut out from the silhouette. I am getting frustrated with how to take my pictures, this one is done without the photo tent and I still don't like it, but oh well, who has time to figure it all out, I rather be crafting, lol.

                                Have a great day, Anja

White on white, C4C 203

The challenge this week over at the Crazies is white on white, love that look. I did cheat a little bit, see the layer of silver I added? And oh boy, it was hard to take a good picture.

I used a big borderpunch from Martha Stewart, an CB embossing folder, sentiment from Paper Smooches, some flower punches and the frame is from the Silhouette.

Check out what the other design team members have come up with and play with us if you can, so much fun!

                                                 Till next time, Anja

Flowers and pearls, C4C 202

Another challenge over at the Crazies, this time it is right up my alley, flowers and pearls. Two things I love to use, so it was not hard at all. The flowers are the MFT mini rolled roses, they are one of my favourites.

Check out what the other design team members have done, so inspiring.

                                            Have a great day, Anja

Paper Smooches and Inktense pencils

Another dark picture, sorry, I am trying to do better , this one is done with a photo tent and lights but I am not sure. 

I stamped the Paper Smooches animal on watercolour paper and coloured him with Inktense Pencils, sentiment and dp unknown ( have had it forever) the clouds are from Impression Obsession. Borderpunch from Martha Stewart. 

                              Hope you like it, Anja

Happy 16th birthday!

Three times is a charm, trying to post this card, but Blogger doesn't seem to like it.

It's the card I made for our youngest son, who turned 16 last week.

I used the colours from the country where he was born and cut the shapes with the Silhouette.

Have a great day, Anja

For the lovebirds!

Friends of us had a 25th anniversary and we were invited to party along with them!

Here is the card I made for them, it was hard to get a good picture. I like the white with the silver, the birds are made with the SU punch. Sentiment from Just Rite. Hope you like it, Anja

Playing with dylusions and stencils!

                   

What do you do when you don't know what to make.....well, I pulled out some Dylusions ink and stencils. And some glimmermists and papertowel, I was so smart to play in the kitchen...A little while later, I had some nice backgrounds. This one I turned into a card, love the effect. Have a great day, Anja

Love the animals with the Crazy 4 Challenges team!

The Crazy 4 Challenges challenge this week  is to put an animal on your card, not hard at all for me! I love animals and we have a variety here at our farm, chickens, sheep, horses, lama's, a cow, rabbits, dog and a few cats and I am sure some mice. And we have a donkey, Miss Daisy, she is so cute and friendly, we are patiently waiting for her to deliver a baby! I needed a baby card so I decided to combine it with this challenge, the dp is from my basket, who knows who made it, and the cute rabbits are cut with the cameo.

                             Hope you can join us this week, enjoy your weekend, Anja

Sketch from Crazy 4 Challenges, C4C199

           
Way to late, but I finally had a chance to make this card, this week over at the Crazies, it's a sketch challenge, and I love sketches, I just ran out of time last week. You can find the details HERE. 

I went with my 6x6 paperpack from Cosmo Cricket and a train die from Cheery Lynn, sentiment unknown. Hope you like it, have a great day, Anja

One for the guys!

               

A quick masculine card, that's what I needed yesterday and nothing suitable in my box, grrr.

So thankfully the cameo came to the rescue....oh that wonderful machine....Anyhow, I cut the frame and added the scenery with Tim Holtz and Memento inks. Trees and birds are from Stampscapes.

This moring the card already made it to the person I made it for,pff, just in time!

                        Have a great day and thanks for stopping by, Anja

Back to school with the Crazies, C4C198!

  The "Crazies" are thinking about going back to school, now, isn't that crazy??? I refuse to think about it, lol, we have 3 more weeks and I am enjoying it!!!

Complete denial for me!!

Anyhow, I did make a card, only to realize, I really had no stamps for this theme........but the Cameo came to the rescue...I cut out some letters, stars, borders, and an arrow, the background stamp was a garagesale find. I stamped it in Versamark and embossed it Tim Holtz embossing powder.

The punch is from SU, and that's how this project became a card, lol! Have a great day, Anja

New Spellbinders borders!!

Happy Friday! The last couple of weeks I have only posted on Friday and Saturdays.....the joys of the summer, not too many obligations, I do get to craft a bit more often and I have lots I could show you......
