Sometimes...

Hi there blog friends!

Yes, sometimes life just gets in the way of crafting.

Thanks to everyone for expressing their concern about my absence in blog land... I am ok but I guess you can only expect to see me again in the new year.

In the meanwhile.... I hope all is well on your side of the world.... and that you are all smiles and still dreaming big!

Until later!

One layer thanks!

Hi there!

3 challenges for my card today:

Less is more ~ one layer thanks

CAS on Sunday  ~ one layer

Case this Sketch ~ sketch

I used distress inks to create my card. Peel off stickers to mask the little pattern. Added a sentiment in Afrikaans saying "thanks so much".

 A very QACAS card for today ;)

Thanks for visiting!

Have a great day!

You are loved!

Hi there!

It's a BIG day today with a BIG blog hop... and it feels good to be part of it all!

I think by this time, each and every card maker / blogger knows that Cath's time at Moxie Fab World has come to an end.

A group of bloggers decided to organise this event as a token of gratitude and to say good bye.

Thanks Cath for all the inspiration you provided... wishing you the best  for the future!

Remember... You are loved!

Here's my card to contribute:

I used one of my older sentiments, because I thought it was exactly what I wanted to say... so here it is again!

If you are following the hop, you probably arrived here from Libby Hickson.

Your next stop will be Julie Campbell.

Enjoy the hop!
Thanks for hopping over!

Casology & a Freshly made sketch.

Hi there!

Thursday already and the start of the weekend in the UAE ... yay!

But before we get to the weekend, I have a card to share:

Two challenges inspired my card:

Casology
&
Freshly made sketches

                   


The dahlia stamp is from Penny Black. I colored it with Promarkers on Craft card stock.

Thanks for visiting me today!

Geseënde Kersfees!

Hi there!

I have another Christmas card to share.

I used the beautiful picture from Addicted to stamps as my inspiration. More inspiration came from Cas-ual fridays where embossing is required.

The circles of the embossing folder reminded me of the baubles in the picture. I just added rhinestones and 3 banners in the required colors.

Edited to add... the Embossing folder is called peacock pleasure from couture creations.

{ my card is a case of a card I made earlier the year, using a different sentiment, and colors, click here if you want to have a look ;) }

Nothing much to the sentiment, but you are welcome to use it :)

The inspiration:

Muse #42

Hi there!

This week's MUSE is someone who's style I love and admire... so I had to play along!

Laurie!!!

This is my take on her inspiration card:

The banner with the ampersand was cut with my Silhouette (times new roman).

Digi paper from Mel Stampz. Thanks Mel!

Laurie's card looks like this:

       
                                         
             

I thought I'd make a digi sentiment similar to the one I used , to share with you ;)

Thanks for looking!

Have a great day!
