Summer in the Garden

Saturday, June 19, 2010

Hello, to another rainy Saturday, they even announced some snow in the higher mountains (I leave in the Alps), I get out my skidress again ! Anyway... this couldn't stop me of making a nice Garden Summer Card. I used the new Wedding Rose Arch background Stamp from the Magnolia Wedding collection. Let's hope we can soon get the summer feeling of our little Tilda :)

I will enter this card for the follwing challenges :

Hallo liebe Freunde, und wieder mal ein verregneter Samstag, bei uns ist sogar Schnee gemeldet ab 1600m. Da kann man ja glatt die Skiausrüstung wieder rausnehmen. Das schlecht Wetter ist eigentlich perfekt zum basteln. Ich habe einen Stempel aus der neuen Magnolia "Wedding Collection" gebraucht. Hoffentlich können wir bald wieder vom schönen Wetter profitieren. :)

Green Fairy Tink

Sunday, June 13, 2010

Happy Sunday ! Let me share my card with a fresh green colour. I didn't use often this colour for my cards. But I'm quite happy with the end result. This week theme at the Cupcake Craft Challenge is ***DAZZLE US*** so I chose paper with lots of glitter from WV, The Blossoms & Butterflies Stack and also added some stickles (Star dust) to my flowers and the dress of Fairy Tink. I followed the sketch from Truly Scrumptious.

I also want to take a few lines to thank you for all the nice comments I get, specially dear Monika, Paola, Swaantje, Elise and all my other followers who always leave such sweet comments. I do not mention this in every posting, but I think it makes it more special if I acknowledge from time to time. So THANK YOU LADIES :)
._._._._._._._._._.

Einen schönen Sonntag wünsche ich Euch ! Meine neuste Kreation in einem frischen Grün. Bisher habe ich so gut wie keine Karte in dieser Farbe gebastelt. Bei Cupcake Craft Challenge ist das Thema ***DAZZLE US***, also habe ich Papier mit viel Glitter gewählt, meine Blumen und das Kleid der Fairy Tink habe ich zusätzlich noch mit Stickles (Stard Dust) dekoriert. Das Sketch zu meiner Karte stammt von Truly Scrumptious.

Nun möchte ich noch ein paar Zeilen an meine liebe Stempelfreunde richten. Ganz herzlich möchte ich mich bei euch bedanken für die lieben Kommentare. Vor allem bei der lieben Monika, Paola, Swaantje, Elise und natürlich bei meinen anderen Followers für die vielen Süssen Kommentare. Ich danke nicht bei jedem meiner Posts, da ich denke wenn ich es von Zeit zu Zeit mache ist es mehr spezial. Also LIEBE LADIES VIELEN VIELEN DANK AN EUCH !
