Thank you
Lots of you have been praying and been with us through this so far. Thanks so much!!
Last night I had some time and played with my flowers and made this card for all of you!
Honestly, the picture doesn't do it justice.
All the little flowers are punched out, inked up, shaped, goosebumped and put together.
The embossed background is a folder from Crafts too, theb bigger purple behind the sentiment is a Nestabilitie, Fleur de lis.
Little dots of the pearl pen were put on to finish the flowers.
So again, thank you all for your concerns, it is greatly appreciated!!
I am hoping that the rest of the summer will be soooooooo boring, and I am about to wrap all of my men in bubblewrap, LOL!
Have a great day, Anja

Doily die
I always really like the all white cards and I wanted to make one.....I had to add a little colour and this is what I came up with. Love my new die from Cheery Lynn Designs, it cuts a perfect, delicate doily. On top is a tag from Spellbinders and the butterflies are from MS. The sentiment is an old SU favourite, and some bling from my stash, background done with a folder from
Couture Creations.
Have a great day and stay cool, Anja

Elegant masculine card
Love the elegant look, it didn't take long at all to make this card. The image is from Heartfelt Creations, sentiment from Clear Dollar stamps, some dots from my basket.
At first I wasn't sure where to put the little sentiment but I am happy at where it is.
Thanks for all the nice comments on my previous card! Love to hear from you!
I had to change some of my settings because I couldn't leave comments on other blogs, it kept directing me back to the log in place, but with the help of a friend, I am good to go now.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day, Anja

Get well soon, Ingrid!
Not very personal but well meant! Good thing that the phone company is not on strike, LOL!
The stamps are from Heartfelt Creations and Just Rite, dp from Basic Grey, some punches and a tag from Grommet Tags. The border punch is from Martha Stewart. The idea with the greenery around the flower is not from myself, saw that at other peoples blogs, fun effect and easy to do.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day, Anja

What a struggle!
I have made a card today and I am posting it, LOL! No matter what.....it was a struggle to make this card, deep sigh, 3 times I had to make the main panel, I managed to get orange ink on the first try, second try I messed up the birds, yes, that tiny little stamp!
I can't say I am happy with this card but I wanted to post something, so I did, LOL!
My mojo seems to have left me, hopefully it comes back soon, I sit in my craft room, surrounded by a lot of nice stuff and I can't come up with a card, grrr. Oh well, tomorrow is another day and after all, it is just a card. Have a great evening, Anja

Wedding card
So thankfully it is a late wedding so we still have time to make it. We can have fun at the wedding and be glad that everything is planted.
On to the card...this picture doesn't do this card justice, it gets a little better if you click on it.
I have used paper with a pearl finish and embossed it, I wanted to keep the card elegant and in the colours of the wedding. Sentiment is from Inkadinkadoo. Nestabilities and some Marianne design dies.
Have a great day and thanks for looking, Anja

Penny Black birthday
The dp is from Stella Rose, My Mind's eye, sentiment from Clear Dollar Stamps, Nestabilities, grass border punch from MS, SU label punch, ribbon and bling from stash. The little flower is a silk one, I put a few layers together and added the brad. The colour was just perfect.
My middle sister with her youngest son are gonna be visiting from Holland for a week, looking forward to spend time with them, I am hoping to get some posts pre set.
Thanks for stopping by, Anja

Joy Craft butterflies and more...
The background is done with Tim Holtz distressing inks, love how easy they are to play with.
The stamps are from Technique Tuesday, the sentiment from Hannah stamps, the flowers are made with some punches and some Joy craft dies. The butterflies are from Joy Craft too, I cut them out and sprayed Goosebumps over them, it makes them nice and crisp. Well, the rest of the card is pretty basic, a CB embossing folder for the background and some Nestabilities.
And let's not forget the bling in the middle from the Dollar store.
Thanks for stopping by today, Anja

Purple flowers
Here I have used an old SU favourite, In full bloom, stamped the flowers twice, coloured them with Prisma's and Gamsol, I then cut them out and popped them up. The little thank you is a stamp I got years ago, no clue who made it but I like the size. For the centre of the flowers I used some Flowersoft, I do have a couple of jars, but I really don't use it a lot, don't know why....
The border punch along the side is from Martha Stewart and I used some different Nestabilities.
Have a great day and thanks for stopping by, Anja

Happy Father's Day!
So this card is for my Dad, and he lives in Holland, so hopefully the mail will get there.
I have used kraft paper and chocolate chip, I stamped the background with Weathered from SU and then on top of that I stamped some images from the set It's about time, also from SU.
The sentiment is from Kaiser Craft and the dies are from Spellbinders, Sprightly Sprockets.
After I had this all done, I got my little bottle with Goosebumps, from Tsukineko, and I sprayed some of this on top of the whole card. I love the look of it, it almost looks like leather.
Hope you like my card too, have a great weekend, Anja

Same layout, wrong picture!
I spend a big part of the day at SCRAPPINGREATDEALS, celebrating, so much fun!
So I didn't have a lot of time to stamp today, so I quickly made another Mother's day card, since I gave the other one away...., same layout, different colours and by the way, it really looks better in real life.
Hope you had a great day too, thanks for stopping by, Anja

I have used many different things/tools, a fiskars border punch, Rose creations for the flower from Spellbinders, paper from DCWV (right order?) ,Nestabilities, bling, Marianne die, stamp from Kaiser craft, that's it, I think.
The rose is cut out and then sprayed with Goose Bumps, a clear texture spray from Tsukineko, love that stuff! You can get it at SGD!
Today I am helping at the school for Grandparent's Day, always fun to have all the grandparents come and visit, I will miss the one at Grade school next year since our youngest is graduating soon. Our second son is leaving for Vancouver soon, for his job,they grow up so fast.....

Three B's!
The first B for bonus....my camera isn't broken, I got another Birthday, second B, and since I am "old", according to my son, who reset the settings and voila, all done, LOL! So I got some other nice presents. The third B can completeley go away now...that is the tummy bug that came to me on Easter Sunday, not so fun, but the good news is, that I didn't gain any weight this Easter and not from the birthday cake. In every situation you can find something good if you look for it, right?
Have fun watching the Royal Wedding!!
Thanks for stopping by, Anja

Welcome Baby!
I am slowly working on getting my box full again. This image is from Penny Black and the sentiment from Verve. I have used Prismacolour pencils and gamsol and later added some stickles.
Different colour combo, but I like it, I also coloured the bear with a pink and a blue shirt but those cards are not done yet.
Have a great day and thanks for looking, Anja

Interesting colour combo!
I was going through my little paperbooks from Holland, I really needed more paper LOL, and I decided to use this one, like the colour combo.
Then I used my new die, and punched out little flowers to put on the raised oval, the sentiment is from Just Rite, some stickles, ribbon, MS punch and bling to finish it off.
The die is from Marianne design or Joy craft, I had to take everything out of the package to save some weight in my suitcase, that's how bad it was, now most of the Dutch candies are gone, and I can start working on gettting that weight off, LOL!
Have a great day, and thanks for stopping by, Anja

JRC_51, an act of kindness.
You can read all the details HERE.
I stamped the heartfelt thanks and the frame with chocolate chip craft ink and used some of the papers from DCWV, the stamps are from the new sets Fancy Tags and Elegant Frames. Did I tell you already how much I love those stamps!! I used some of the new Just Rite spellbinders tags and added some brads, the ribbon is from my stash and attached with the stapler from Tim Holtz. The cream paper has a pearl finish but still beautiful to stamp on. I decided to add a little bling on the corners, hard to see, but if you click on the picture you can take a better look.
Hope you like it, have a great day and thanks for stopping by, Anja
