John Deere card...
I checked my blog and saw that the picture I first posted of this card was way to big so I had to remove it and try again.... If you didn't already know that I am not good at the pc LOL!
Anyway, this card was intended for my youngest son, who has a birthday coming up but he saw the card already so now I have made something else for him what I will show later.
The stamp is from Clear Dollar Stamps, watercoloured with Tombo's, simple and easy!
Have a great day, Anja

50th birthday card
Friday, August 14, 2009
Alcohol ink background
I am doing something very boring...I am listing all my stamps.....stamping them set by set and label them, so that I can look through a binder a see what I have...hmmm...........one binder?
I have started this a while ago but now I am convinced that I need to finish. After that I would like to list them alphabetically......
but that may be too much. We'll see.
Have a great day and thanks for looking, Anja

Bright mail
lighthouse stamp and watercoloured it with Tombo's.
It's for a teenage boy..........boy, what do you make for them?
Anyway, this is the card. I am not sure about all the bright colours but I am happy with my watercolouring. After trying many different papers, I think I have found the one that works for me.
Have a great day and thanks for stopping by, Anja

Stair case card

Not sure about this one.............
Friday, August 7, 2009
You know I love flowers.......
The younger boys are still sleeping, the "bigger" men are working hard, and I ...... I am enjoying myself.
If I sit down to make a card for no particular reason....when you just have time to play, not very often but it happens, usually I grab a flower stamp, because I love them.
This purple card has a Dutch sentiment, it shows up way better IRL. The little bow is made with the fabulous bow maker, such a handy tool.
The card on the left is another silhouette stamp from Morningstar, another new one for me.
I like the blue with the grey and white together.
So that's it for today, 3 cards to share, I can't believe it.
Now I am gonna do some real work, enjoy your day, Anja
Country look
There is a little bit of stickles on the card, if you click on it you see it better.
Masculine cards are hard but I was happy with this one.
The house is still quiet here even though it's already past 9 o'clock,
I am enjoying this with a cup of coffee, I will post 2 other cards I made this week if my camera is up to it.
Thanks for looking, Anja

Something to share.........
It's been ages since I have posted a card. Vacation, summer fun, life.....
it's summer and we are enjoying it!
For us the camping trips are over for now and I am slowly trying to get some sort of routing in this household. Yesterday I took the time to stamp and play with some new goodies I got at the stamping convention in Novi
So much fun and so many things to look at. I got lots of new ideas going through my head. So here is one of them, a baby card with my new onesi stamp.
Have a great day and thanks for stopping by, Anja

One of the boys had a pretty hard fall with the dirt bike on Monday and kept us in emerge for half the day, now there are follow up appointments and dressings to be changed. He was one lucky boy. He will be fine but sore for a while.
I made this card a while ago and haven't posted it yet. It's pretty basic and very easy to make.
Hope you are having a great day and thanks for stopping by, Anja

Eindelijk eens tijd om wat op mijn blog te zetten. Het is hier gewoon een gekkenhuis.
Een van de jongens is maandag behoorlijk hard gevallen met de dirt bike op asfalt dus hebben we maandag middag heel de middag in het ziekenhuis gezeten. Nu hebben we nog een vervolg afspraak en moet het verband regelmatig verschoond worden. Alles komt goed, hij zal alleen wel een tijdje niet zo comfortabel zijn. Hij heeft heel veel geluk gehad.
Deze kaart heb ik een tijdje geleden al gemaakt, simpel en snel.
Bedankt voor het kijken en een fijne dag gewenst, Anja

Glimmer mist.....
I was going through some stuff and came across a bottle of glimmer mist. Hope I am not the only one who sees something, buys it and forget all about it.... Ihad to read the instructions to know what to do with this bottle.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
In de kast stond een flesje glimmermist, je weet wel, soms koop je iets en dan vergeet je het te gebruiken. Ik moest eerst de beschrijving lezen hoe het ook alweer was.

Exciting news!!
Last night I found out that I have won the 2nd prize for the RR June challenge at the Rubberroom, and this is the card I made. You can check it out here, http://www.rubberroom.ca.
For the challenge you had to make a card with this cute little pig from High Hopes, they give you 2 stamped images to work with, and you had to use a border. As soon as I saw the pig I knew what kind of border I wanted to use. The image is watercoloured with Tombo's and the background is sponged on. The pig is cut out so I could make the background and make it look like it was behind the fence.
It was a fun card to make and I am excited that I won a gift certificate for the store!
So with this card I am sending smiles to all of you!!
Have a great day, Anja
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Gisteren avond kreeg ik een telefoontje dat ik de tweede prijs heb gewonnen van een challenge van een stampstore in London, http://www.rubberroom.ca/
Dit is de kaart die ik had ingestuurd. De challenge was dat je een border moest gebruiken en we kregen 2 gestempelde varkentjes. Ik heb het varkentje gekleurd met Tombo's en uitgeknipt, de achtergrond heb ik gemaakt door eerst wat blauwe inkt aan te brengen met een sponsje en dan de bloemetjes gestempeld.
Het sentiment is: sending you smiles! en dat doe ik dan bij deze, groetjes en een fijne dag, Anja

Watercoloured flower pot.

Deze kaart heb ik gemaakt met Art Impressions stamps. Eerst stempel je de bloempot, dan het blad en als laatste de bloemen. Je kleurt met je Tombo's op de stempel. Daarna kun je de kleuren een beetje laten uitlopen met een penceeltje en wat water.
Fijne dag en bedankt voor het kijken, Anja

Pretty flowers
The flowers are stamped with black stazon on glossy paper, for the background I used a little sponge to put on some wasabi and light purple ink. So easy!
Have a great day and thanks for looking, Anja
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Het duurde een tijdje voordat deze kaart af was, zoveel kleine glittersteentjes in het midden van de bloemetjes maar het was de moeite wel waard.
De bloemen heb ik met zwarte watervaste inkt gestempeld op glimmend papier daarna heb ik met een klein sponsje wat lila en groene inkt aangebracht. Heel simpel. Lintje en een randje, klaar!
Fijne dag en bedankt voor het kijken, Anja

One more try
We had a great time with friends and I hate to say goodbye but that's part of our life.
So I did my little cry and now we are getting back in our routine, kind of, summerbreak starts tomorrow. The kids are really excited! And I, I am not ready at all. Next week we are going camping and the trailer is still in the shed. So that's my plan for this afternoon, trying to get things ready. But first I wanted to post something.
This is a thank you card for one of the teachers. When I saw those crocheted flowers I just had to make some. I can actually crochet, I didn't even need a pattern!
I have made another one but I can't get it uploaded in the right direction.
So maybe tomorrow, have a great day and thanks for stopping by, Anja

Time to enjoy
Hope to be back soon with something to share!
I probably have to go on a strict diet next week, a good time to stamp.
Thanks, Anja

A cute card from me!
Yes, a cute card from me! Don't ask how long it took me to finish this card. The colouring with Tombo's was the fun part and then...... I couldn't finish the card. But it's done.
Hope you like it, enjoy the long weekend, Anja
**********************************************************************************
Een grappige kaart van mij. Duurde heel lang voordat ik die af had.
Eerst gekleurd met Tombo's en toen lukte het verder niet. Maar het is af.
Prettig weekend en bedankt voor het kijken, Anja

High Hopes
A quick post today of a card I made last week for a friend's birthday. I shouldn't be at the computer, it's a mess here and the pile of laundry is amazing. I will share the technique later, I found it a blog, so the idea is cased.
