This beautiful rose image is from the stamp set I Love Roses by Flourishes, and is colored with Distress Inks. Love the sentiment too, from this stamp set. Have a beautiful day!!

Today kicks off our first challenge with a look at one of the things that can evoke a lot of beauty in card

Happy Saturday!I`m so excited to show you this new image by Serendipity! It`s called Train Engine, and It`s perfect for masculine cards! You see, my intention was to create a real masculine card with this image... BUT I couldn`t help myself, and reached for this gorgeous baby blue DP. Soo I decided to turn it into a baby card;-) I colored the image with Distress Inks, but really - this image

Happy Friday!It`s been so long since I joined a challenge, so when I saw this weeks challenge at Cute Card Thursday - No Designer paper - I thought I`d enter this card. I used one of the images from the beautiful Merci Bouquet set by Layers of Color, and colored it with Distress Inks. I used these Spellbinders dies; Labels Six, Fancy Tags, Decorative Photo Corners and Long Classic Rectangles LG.

Happy Friday!Just stopping by with a card I made a few days ago, I haven`t been able to post it until now. I`ve used a winter image from Serendipity, called Winter Fenceline.Even though it`s a winter image, I chose to work with warm yellow and orange. I stamped the image and sentiment with Versamark and heat embossed with black embossingpowder. I created the sun by sponging with Distress

Happy Monday!I hope you had a wonderful weekend! I spent mine cleaning up our basement, throwing lots of old stuff...what a refreshing feeling!I`ve also spent the past week nursing my oldest son who had surgery on his badly broken arm last monday. Unfortunately it was the right arm, but he is much better now, and he`s back at school:-) I`ve made a sympathy card today, using a couple of images

Happy Easter!This is my first (and probably only) Easter card this year...I found this old image by Joanna Sheen and thought it would be perfect for the Emboss Resist technique. I embossed it with white EP and sponged the background with different shades of orange, and of course I had to add some pearls:)I used my Spellbinders dies (Fleur de Lis) as background and added satin ribbon.I hope you

Happy Saturday!I have another card in shabby chic style to share today. Again I`ve used one of the images from the Fancy Fleurs set by The Greeting Farm. It is colored with Distress Inks as usual. I made the satin ribbon frame with Spellbinders dies (Lotus Borderabilites and one of the dies from the Lotus Pendants set). Thanks so much for stopping by, and have a wonderful weekend!

Good morning!I have a card to share today! As I was cleaning up my craft room, I found this old image by Pink Poison (which I believe is now called The greeting farm), and I just had to ink it up:) It is from a set called Fancy fleurs. The image is colored with Distress Inks, and the flowers are popped up with dimensionals. Papers are from American Crafts and Graphic 45.Thanks for stopping by,

Happy Saturday!I hope you enjoy your weekend!I`ve made a few simple,tiny cards...I used Spellbinders dies to create the frame and did the stitching by hand. The flowers and Swirls are also Spellbinders dies. (Petite Border Lotus, Pendant Lotus and floral accents). The stamped sentiment is from Sweet `n Sassy Stamps. I also added some rhinestones. Thought these tiny cards would be useful for

Long time no see!I know...I`m a terrible blogger! It feels like an eternity since my last post. All I can say is that I`ve been too busy to play:(A while back I was the lucky recipient of a RAK from my ever-so-talented blogging friend Melody! She sent me the most beautiful stamp set called Merci Bouquet from Layers of Color. I knew imediately that I had to go super soft and feminine with this

Finally Friday!I`ve always loved the shabby vintage style, especially when It`s done by those who really know how to! I must admit though, that I`m not one of those...LOL! It just don`t come easy to me! Anyway, I really wanted to give it a try, and this is how it turned out. I used the beautiful Soaring Eagle image by Heartfelt Creations. It is colored with distress inks and cut out. I used

Happy Sunday!It`s been a while since my last post... but today I have two cards to share. The first one is just a simple notecard for a friend, using assorted Spellbinders dies and a sentiment from Flourishes Gerber Daisies set. The second one is my take on SC 263 on SCS. I had it finished last week, but as I was going to take a picture of it I noticed that the entire lens on my camera was

Happy Sunday!Thought I`d participate in this weeks 3D challenge at Our Creative Corner. I love 3D projects, and for this card I`ve used a Heartfelt Creations image. It`s called Trumpet Bouquet. I colored it with Distress Inks, and popped up the hummingbirds for the 3D-effect. The background was cuttlebug embossed (Morrocan Screen), sponged with Distress Ink Antique Linen and embossed with

Happy holidays!Just a few days now, and Christmas is here! I`ve made a Christmas gift for today`s post at Flourishes, using one of my all time favorite Flourishes sets, the Poinsetta and Boxwood.I made the box from cardstock, and decorated it with Spellbinders Fleur de Lis die cuts and satin ribbon. As you see, I`ve made an acetate window for the recipient to have a sneak peek at the contents...

I can`t even tell you how excited I was!! It is such an honor, so thank you so much, Julie!This is my first card for the Limelight month.

Happy Wednesday!Half way through this Flower-Power-Retro inspired card I nearly gave up, because it was sooo time consuming! I did finish it though, but if you are looking for a "ten minute card" this is not the one you`d want to make...LOL! The card is based on this SCS sketch.I used the smaller part from the Fleur De Lis Pendants set for the background, and I also used the Blossom

Hi everyone!Between sneezing and wiping my nose, I thought I`d share a card that I made last week. I didn`t get to post it until now. I`ve actually never made a real easter card, but seeing this beautiful image from Serendipity made me want to! The image can be found here. I embossed the image, cut it out and layered the lillies for a 3d effect. I colored it with Distress Inks. I used

It is time for another Serendipity DT challenge, and this month we were to make shaped cards! And once again I had to step out of my comfort zone...LOL! I chose to do a circle card, but it ended up more like a snowflake or something...hee hee. Not the most practical card, but I just could`nt help myself:) I used the beautiful Christmas Chapel image, and colored it with Distress Inks. The "

It`s already thursday (again), and today I found the time to make a card:) It`s been raining for MANY days now, and today it`s actually snowing a little too! So the weather is at least perfect for indoor activities.Sorry about the bad picture though, the lighting is just terrible today!The card turned out kind of vintage/shabby chic, so that would make it perfect for the vintage challenge at Our

Happy thursday!Today I have a Christmas card to share, with a beautiful image from Heartfelt Creations. It`s called Blue Spruce. I stamped it with Archival Ink, Olive, colored it with Distress Inks, and added some rhinestones for the sparkle. The first background is CB embossed and sponged with white pigment ink. The frame and the side elements are all spellbinders dies, papers from Graphic 45.

Whenever I`ve finished a card I often show it to one of my kids, just to hear their opinion. You know, you always get the truth from kids...So when I showed this card to my son today, all he did was to LAUGH!!I said "what is it?" And he said "aah...the image is so funny..."Yeah, right!! I could see all over his face that he was lying!(I think he was laughing at the card in general...LOL!)And

This is a slightly different card made for the monochromatic challenge at Our Creative Corner. I guess you could say that I spent some quality time with my cuttlebug last night...LOL!The sweet little Snowflake image is from Serendipity.

Today I have a Heartfelt Creations card to share with you. I used a delicious Grape image, and instead of the regular purple ones, I decided to go for green grapes!The image is colored with Le Plume Markers and Distress Iks. The decorative "top" is made from Spellbinders dies. Added some bling and a bow to give it kind of a royal feel :)Thanks so much for visiting, and have a wonderful day!!

I`ve seen so many gorgeous cards using this weeks sketch at the Crazy 4 Challenges challenge blog, and just had to try it too!After all those Very Vibrant colors at my last post, I thought I`d go for Very Vintage this time...LOL!I used a Rose image from Serendipity as the focal point.It is colored and distressed with Distress Inks. I`ve used metal corners to create the vintage "frame", and

The Serendipity DT challenge this month was to make a halloween card.And I have to tell you I was WAY out of my comfort zone...LOL!!I found this cute little ghost image. I popped up the fence and made it a little longer to fit the frame. I have done some masking on the trees, which by the way is from the new line of stamps. The background is sponged with Distress Inks, and the frame is

This is a card made with one of the gorgeous Pendants from Spellbinders. I absolutely love them. They are so decorative alone, that all I added was a 3d Camelia Rose. The image I used for the rose is from Motivet, and as always I colored it with my beloved Distress Inks *LOL*.Oh, and of course I added some bows:)Thanks so much for visiting, and have a wonderful evening!!

This weeks challenge over at Our Creative Corner, is to use a pet or an animal on your card. I guess you can call this little cutie a pet, at least for a small child, so I`m entering this card to the challenge. The image is from Serendipity Stamps, and as soon as I saw this little pal, I was in love :-) And what I also love about it, is that it can be used for so many occasions.As usual I have

I absolutely love neutral or earth tone colors, but sometimes I just feel like doing something bright and colorful. That`s how this card ended up in HOT pink...*LOL*Well, the card is made for Heartfelt Creations, with this beautiful rose image.The image was colored with Le Plume Markers, cut and layered for the 3d effect.I hope everyone enjoy these beautiful summer days.

It`s time for the very first Serendipity design team challenge, and the theme is "Garden". Sounds like something right down my alley, since I love everything garden or flowers:) I chose this beautiful garden wagon image, and it is colored with Distress inks. I kept the layout design quite simple, the frame is made using nestabilities and cuttlebug dies.The "fence" is made using a Martha Stewart

This is my very first DT card for Serendipity Stamps! It actually evolved to become a little more complicated than what I first had in mind, but thats all forgotten now... *lol*! I`ve used this gorgeous Blue Bells image, and colored it with Le Plume markers. Then, I embosset the entire image with clear embossing powder several times, and then I made it crack for an aged look.The frame is made
