Hi everyone and happy Friday :)
Wow.. can you believe it? It's friday and I'm going to post my third card for this week *g*
Ok.. I hope this is a good omen and I will be able to post here more regular than recently :)
Here's a card I made with a digi stamp from Moon Cookie Gallery aka Natalie Michalski who is a new designer for Whimsy Stamps. She really makes cute designs and I love her sweet fairies (she has 13 super sweet and adorable fairy stamps created by now! :) ) and this one is called 'Gina the Rose Fairy'
I also used a paper from the brand new kit 'Fresh Fun' designed by one of my favorite (digi) patterned paper designers Kim Broedelet! I truly adore her patterns and colors!!!
Ok.. enough babbled ;-) ... here's my card

Hi everyone and happy Wednesday :)
As promised yesterday.. here's my second post for this week ;)
At Crafts and Me Challenges we have a new challenge starting today. The lovely Gina is your host for this week and she chose 'gems and pearls' as the theme :)
I don't know if you can see it properly, but I have used a 'gem' (selfadhesive crystal) for the center of the flower and I also used a pearl pin :)
For my card I used the adorable 'Creekside Magic' rubber stamp designed by Molly Harrison for Crafts and Me. I adore Molly Harrison's artwork for a long time now and never would have dreamt of seeing her work made into rubber stamps.. that's so cool and it was such a pleasure to color this beauty :)
The background paper is a printed paper from the digi paper pack 'Drip Drop {the papers}' by Joyful Heart Designs (oh and they are on sale for 50% off at the moment!).

Oh my ... I'm soooo bad! My poor little blog... so neglected... *lol*
To all my sweet friends in the blog world: I'm sooo sorry to be such a bad blogger lately. I really hope to post on a more regulare base again, soon :)
But here is one thing I can promise: I will have at least two blog posts this week *lol*
The first card, that I want to show you today is this clean and simple 'Flower Greetings' card, where I used one of the beautiful digi stamps from the brand new digi stamp designer at Whimsy Stamps: Natalie Michalski.
Her adorable stamp collection for Whimsy Stamps is called 'Moon Cookie Gallery' (isn't that a cuuuute name?! :) )
I kept the design of the card simple, because I really LOVE this image ('Tall Striped Vase') and totally wanted it to be THE focal point on my card. Therefore I just used some red cardstock from my stash, some patterned papers from October Afternoon and a Fiskars scalloped border punch to create it. Really easy, but I like the result (even more IRL, because I wasn't able to catch the right colors in the photo... the colors of the image and the papers are matching really good IRL!).
I colored the image with my beloved Tombow Dual Brush pens ;-)
See you all tomorrow again with another (and totally different) card ;-)))))
Have a wonderful evening everyone!

Hi everyone and happy Friday :)
Oh my goodness... I hardly can believe it's May 12th and this is my first post for this month *woops*
How could this happen?
Well.. as some of you may know already, my dog Mexx and I are a Search and Rescue Dog team of the German Red Cross. And therefore we have to take an SAR exam every 18
months. This always makes me 'sick' weeks ahead of the date ;-/
Well... now it's over... the exam was at the end of April and we passed it succesfully *yay*
But after passing the exam I felt absolutely drained and totally lost ALL of my (creative) mojo :-/
BTW: For all of you interested.. this is my dog Mexx :)
(and the back of the head you can see in the lower right corner is me *lol*)
But now that blogger is back, my mojo and I am, too *g*
Soooo... with a 'little' delay....
here's my card for the actual CRAFTS AND ME CHALLENGE (punches).
I used the adorable rubber stamp 'Vanessa' by Hannah Lynn for my card and the papers are from digi paper packs by Graham Like The Cracker: Footloose and Fancy Solid Papers and Footloose and Fancy Worn Papers. I colored the stamped image with Tombow Dual Brush pens, Mondeluz watercolor pencils and some Stickles in 'Waterfall' (glitter with a little hint of blue).
Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope you will have a wonderful, sunny and relaxed weekend :)
