Green & Pink

Saturday, June 26, 2010

Good evening and happy Saturday, what a beautiful weather today. I still managed to make this card this morning, which I really like a lot. I love these colours pink and green (unfortunatly the light green background can't be seen very well on the picture), which everybody's art challenge gave for this week theme. I also used some strawberry paper for my background, the cupcake craft challenge had as theme Strawberries & Cream to celebrate the start of the Wimbledon Tennis Championships in the UK. Strawberries and cream are a bit of a British tradition at the tournament... Don't ask me where the cream is :) I would love to go to Wimbledon, I'm a huge fan of tennis and of course of Roger Federer as a Swiss. I just went last may to the French Open, so that should be enough for this year :)

 The Sketch is from Stamp with fun and a Spoon full of Sugar asked for a Good Luck or Best Wishes card. I love my new little stamp from the Greeting Farm. I just discovered the new challenge Anya Ink and there they want to see some bling to participate you need to use a stamp from the greeting farm or CC Designs.

 Hallo liebe Stempelfreunde, es ist endlich sommerlich schön bei uns, und heute Morgen habe ich trotzdem noch eine Karte gebastellt. Diese gefällt mir besonders gut. Ich liebe die Farben Pink & Grün, leider kommt das hell Grün nicht so schön hervor auf dem Photo. Die Farben sind das dies Wöchige Thema bei everybody's art challenge. Das Papier mit den Erdbeeren, habe ich für den Cupcak Craft Challenge angewendet, hier war das Thema "Strawberries & Cream". In GB hat seit dieser Woche das Tennis Turnier Wimbledon angefangen und da ist es Tradition Erbeeren mit Crème zu essen. Fragt mich nicht wo die Crème auf der Karte ist :) Ich wäre gerne an diesem Turnier, aber ich war erst gerade im Mai an den French Open und muss mich wohl für dieses Jahr damit zufrieden geben :)

Das Sketch ist from Stamp with fun und a spoon full of Sugar möchte eine Karte mit "Good Luck oder Best Wishes sehen. Ich habe meinen neuen süssen Stempel von the Greeting Farm für diese Karte verwendet. Ich habe soeben einen neuen Challenge entdeckt, Anya Ink um da mitzumachen, musst du einen Stempel von The Greeting Farm oder CC Designs verwenden.

Baby Girl

Thursday, June 24, 2010

Hi Guys, Finally we can prepare for a beautiful week-end and some hot weather. So probably I won't spend a lot time with card stamping ;-) but enjoy the summer days.

I was asked to make one more card for a colleague how's baby girl was born last week. Her name is Clémence. I decided to use one of my new stamps I ordered with Funky Kits from the Sugar Nellie collection. Just so cute this little baby one the cloud, she looks so peaceful. I followed the sketch from the paper take weekly challenge. The card matches to the following challenges :

Hallo liebe Freunde, endlich ist schönes Wetter fürs Wochenende angesagt und vor allem heisses Wetter. Ich werde wohl wenig Zeit mit dem Kartenstempeln verbringen ;)

Man hat mich gebeten noch eine Karte für einen Arbeitskollegen zu basteln. Seine Tochter Clémence ist letzte Woche geboren. Ich habe einer meiner neuen Stempel gebraucht, die ich bei Funki Kits bestellt habe. Ich finde das Baby so schnuckelig auf dieser kleinen Wolke, es sieht so friedlich aus. Das Sketch ist von Paper take weekly Challenge. Meine Karte werde ich zu folgenden Challenges eintragen :

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 !
