Heidi among the flowers!
I have coloured this image with Prismacolour pencils and added lots of bling because it's for somebody who deserves lots of bling!
I am pretty sure she is not sitting between flowers today but I certainly hope she has a great day!
The background is done with the CB dots embossing folder and then I sanded it very carefully so that the dots show white.
Hope you all have a great day, thanks for stopping by, Anja

Sympathy card
It's been a week since I have posted.....not that I haven't stamped just haven't gotten around to post some cards. This is a simple sympathy card, one of the cards we have used to put in a package for the foodbank. Once a year I help out at a local church were we make card packages for the foodbank. Very nice idea, I think.
Today I am hoping to make some Christmas cards...............it looks like it's gonna snow, but I certainly hope that I am completeley wrong. I really don't need that to get in the mood for Christmas cards! I have more cards to share but I can't show them yet.... they are for people who come and visit here.
Have a great day, Anja

My other pink card
The flowers are coloured with Prisma colour pencils, they work really nice, I had tried a few before and last week I bought the whole set, yes, all 120 of them! I feel like a little girl back in Kindergarden with a new box of pencils LOL!
Hope this card will brighten your day since it is a rainy, dark day here where we live!
Take care and thanks for stopping by, Anja

Baby boy card
Again, it's a pretty basic card. The cute little bear is from the Dollar Store and the sentiment, welcome little one, is from Verve stamps.
Some ribbon, silver stickles, silver dots, voila, another card.
Have a great day and thanks for stopping by, Anja
CDSWCC40. think pink!
Blogger isn't doing as I want to!! Grrr, very frustrating, I have tried many times to get this picture right but it's not gonna happen. Sorry! Anyway, this card is for another weekly challenge from Clear Dollar Stamps, you can check it out here:
http://www.papercraftplanet.com:80/group/cleardollarstampsllcweekendcolorchallenge/forum/topic/show?id=2076575%3ATopic%3A705261 Visit and make a card too, if you like.
This is actually my third card, I will show the other ones later, the first 2 had green in them, and since that wasn't a colour for the challenge, I made another card.
It's pink and lots of pink in honour of Cancer Awareness Month!! What a great cause!!

Finally another post.....
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you!!!
I can't believe it's been a week with no stamping for me....
so I am very happy that today I had a chance to stamp. It's almost time to turn the oven on and start preparing our Thanksgiving meal, we do it today because tomorrow the beans might come of and boys have to go back to college....too busy. I have to admit that I don't really do a turkey, those things scare me, really they do, so thankfully M&M is there to help me out.
Now about my card, it's for another challenge from Clear Dollar Stamps, this week's host is Lisa and you can check it out here: http://www.papercraftplanet.com/group/cleardollarstampsllcweekendcolorchallenge/forum/topics/clear-dollar-stamps-weekend-22
I haven't used a lot of more mustard but it's there and for the silver you have to look at the embossing and the brads. The set used is called: Thankful for you, very fitting for this weekend.
The flowers are coloured with twinkling H2O's so they sparkle nice but it's hard to see in the picture.
Enjoy your day and thanks for stopping by, Anja

This weekend we have our annual Fair and between the boys' involvement in 4H, my DH a director for the fair and the cold and rainy weather.....there is no stamping time and that on National Card Making Day! So tonight was my only chance to stamp, and since I am so tired my eyes are in need of a pair of reading glasses and they were upstairs.....
Enough complaining, we did have lots of fun today, and my card.... does look better IRL with all the stickles and that's all I have to say about it, LOL!
Thanks for stopping by, Anja

MOJO105, welcome baby
It's nice to be in the cool basement and stamp, it's just ....really hot here.
After some time this is what I came up with, the patchwork elephant is from Clear Dollar Stamps, can you tell I got my order in? The sentiment from Stamping Up. The elephant is watercoloured with Tombo's, it took me so long to learn to do so but I am happy that I kept trying, it's a lot easier now.
Of course I also had to add some bling and stickles.
I kind of cheated because I did turn the image, hope that's okay.
Thanks for stopping by, Anja

Hello!
When I saw this set I A-door You from Clear Dollar Stamps, I knew that I wanted it (surprise LOL) and what I was gonna do with it.
Check out their website for more www.cleardollarstamp.com
So this is what I came up with, I have used my Art Impressions stamps with it. All done on watercolour paper and Tombo's and Stickles for the finishing touch.
Thanks for looking, Anja

Here is my card for the Clear Dollar Stamps Weekend Colour Challenge, check it out here: http://www.papercraftplanet.com/group/cleardollarstampsllcweekendcolorchallenge/forum/topics/clear-dollar-stamps-weekend-19
I don't think I have ever put those colours together but it's starting to grow on me.
The flower is watercoloured with Tombo's and some stickles were added later. The rest is pretty basic.
Have a great day and thanks for stopping by, Anja

Splitcoasts Sketch Challenge 245
I have used one of my favourite SU stamps, both way blossoms and some Heidi Grace paper.
The ribbon is folded twice, hard to see in the picture.
I had my card finished and then I was gonna put some Chrystal effects on the flowers............well, sometimes nothing comes out of the bottle and you have to use your special tricks to get it out....
not this time.........my card was ruined! Grrr! So I started again and I only used stickles this time.
Have a great day and thanks for stopping by, Anja

A red tractor on the farm....
But this cute tractor is from Clear Dollar Stamps, I own this set for a while already but I had never inked it up.
The grass is just a piece of green paper and I used sciccors to cut it like this. The little bird and chicken are stamped, cut out and put on dimensionals. Of course I had to add two punched flowers and some bling with the rhinostones and gel pens.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day, Anja

Matching the ribbon
I picked this ribbon from my fairly big ribbon collection, hmm, and I matched the colours. The rest is pretty simple and the bow is made with the very helpful bow easy.
Now I am gonna try to get the kids to bed early....enjoy your evening, Anja
They choose my card!
Her cards are beautiful!
The stamps from Clear Dollar Stamps can be found here: www.cleardollarstamps.com , so many nice things to choose from.......
We are enjoying this last day before it's back to school, hope you are too.
I am hoping to be back later to post a card, anything to keep myself busy as we brought our second son to college far away yesterday, I am happy for him but I already miss him here at home.
Thanks for stopping by, Anja

CDSWCC35
This card is made for the Clear Dollar Stamps Weekend Color Challenge, CDSWCC35.
The colours for this challenge are:
so saffron, rose red and a shade of green. I have a couple of stampsets from them and today I used the flowers, no surprise if you know me.
You can find the challenge here: http://www.papercraftplanet.com/group/cleardollarstampsllcweekendcolorchallenge/forum/topics/clear-dollar-stamps-weekend-18
The yellow crocheted flower is made by me, sitting on the deck between our beautiful flowers making a couple of those crocheted ones. The weather here is beautiful so it's so nice to sit and enjoy the sunshine.
The yellow gift bag/envelope is for a gift for my Mom's birthday this weekend, it's little but it fits.
Can't tell you what it is, it's a surprise!
Enjoy your weekend and thanks for stopping by, Anja

This picture doesn't show the colours really well, the red looks like pink and it's definetely not pink and the background is IRL like a mustard colour. But I have no time to make another picture. I have to make an appointment nowadays (let's say I have to yell it's my turn now!) to go on this slow, slow pc with all the boys home. Don't worry, I am enjoying this last week......... Have a great day, Anja

John Deere card...

I checked my blog and saw that the picture I first posted of this card was way to big so I had to remove it and try again.... If you didn't already know that I am not good at the pc LOL!
Anyway, this card was intended for my youngest son, who has a birthday coming up but he saw the card already so now I have made something else for him what I will show later.
The stamp is from Clear Dollar Stamps, watercoloured with Tombo's, simple and easy!
Have a great day, Anja

Alcohol ink background
I am doing something very boring...I am listing all my stamps.....stamping them set by set and label them, so that I can look through a binder a see what I have...hmmm...........one binder?
I have started this a while ago but now I am convinced that I need to finish. After that I would like to list them alphabetically......
but that may be too much. We'll see.
Have a great day and thanks for looking, Anja

Not sure about this one.............
Friday, August 7, 2009
You know I love flowers.......
The younger boys are still sleeping, the "bigger" men are working hard, and I ...... I am enjoying myself.
If I sit down to make a card for no particular reason....when you just have time to play, not very often but it happens, usually I grab a flower stamp, because I love them.
This purple card has a Dutch sentiment, it shows up way better IRL. The little bow is made with the fabulous bow maker, such a handy tool.
The card on the left is another silhouette stamp from Morningstar, another new one for me.
I like the blue with the grey and white together.
So that's it for today, 3 cards to share, I can't believe it.
Now I am gonna do some real work, enjoy your day, Anja
Country look
There is a little bit of stickles on the card, if you click on it you see it better.
Masculine cards are hard but I was happy with this one.
The house is still quiet here even though it's already past 9 o'clock,
I am enjoying this with a cup of coffee, I will post 2 other cards I made this week if my camera is up to it.
Thanks for looking, Anja

Something to share.........
It's been ages since I have posted a card. Vacation, summer fun, life.....
it's summer and we are enjoying it!
For us the camping trips are over for now and I am slowly trying to get some sort of routing in this household. Yesterday I took the time to stamp and play with some new goodies I got at the stamping convention in Novi
So much fun and so many things to look at. I got lots of new ideas going through my head. So here is one of them, a baby card with my new onesi stamp.
Have a great day and thanks for stopping by, Anja

One of the boys had a pretty hard fall with the dirt bike on Monday and kept us in emerge for half the day, now there are follow up appointments and dressings to be changed. He was one lucky boy. He will be fine but sore for a while.
I made this card a while ago and haven't posted it yet. It's pretty basic and very easy to make.
Hope you are having a great day and thanks for stopping by, Anja

Eindelijk eens tijd om wat op mijn blog te zetten. Het is hier gewoon een gekkenhuis.
Een van de jongens is maandag behoorlijk hard gevallen met de dirt bike op asfalt dus hebben we maandag middag heel de middag in het ziekenhuis gezeten. Nu hebben we nog een vervolg afspraak en moet het verband regelmatig verschoond worden. Alles komt goed, hij zal alleen wel een tijdje niet zo comfortabel zijn. Hij heeft heel veel geluk gehad.
Deze kaart heb ik een tijdje geleden al gemaakt, simpel en snel.
Bedankt voor het kijken en een fijne dag gewenst, Anja

Glimmer mist.....
I was going through some stuff and came across a bottle of glimmer mist. Hope I am not the only one who sees something, buys it and forget all about it.... Ihad to read the instructions to know what to do with this bottle.

In de kast stond een flesje glimmermist, je weet wel, soms koop je iets en dan vergeet je het te gebruiken. Ik moest eerst de beschrijving lezen hoe het ook alweer was.

Exciting news!!
Last night I found out that I have won the 2nd prize for the RR June challenge at the Rubberroom, and this is the card I made. You can check it out here, http://www.rubberroom.ca.
For the challenge you had to make a card with this cute little pig from High Hopes, they give you 2 stamped images to work with, and you had to use a border. As soon as I saw the pig I knew what kind of border I wanted to use. The image is watercoloured with Tombo's and the background is sponged on. The pig is cut out so I could make the background and make it look like it was behind the fence.
It was a fun card to make and I am excited that I won a gift certificate for the store!
So with this card I am sending smiles to all of you!!
Have a great day, Anja
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Gisteren avond kreeg ik een telefoontje dat ik de tweede prijs heb gewonnen van een challenge van een stampstore in London, http://www.rubberroom.ca/
Dit is de kaart die ik had ingestuurd. De challenge was dat je een border moest gebruiken en we kregen 2 gestempelde varkentjes. Ik heb het varkentje gekleurd met Tombo's en uitgeknipt, de achtergrond heb ik gemaakt door eerst wat blauwe inkt aan te brengen met een sponsje en dan de bloemetjes gestempeld.
Het sentiment is: sending you smiles! en dat doe ik dan bij deze, groetjes en een fijne dag, Anja

Deze kaart heb ik gemaakt met Art Impressions stamps. Eerst stempel je de bloempot, dan het blad en als laatste de bloemen. Je kleurt met je Tombo's op de stempel. Daarna kun je de kleuren een beetje laten uitlopen met een penceeltje en wat water.
Fijne dag en bedankt voor het kijken, Anja

Pretty flowers
The flowers are stamped with black stazon on glossy paper, for the background I used a little sponge to put on some wasabi and light purple ink. So easy!
Have a great day and thanks for looking, Anja
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Het duurde een tijdje voordat deze kaart af was, zoveel kleine glittersteentjes in het midden van de bloemetjes maar het was de moeite wel waard.
De bloemen heb ik met zwarte watervaste inkt gestempeld op glimmend papier daarna heb ik met een klein sponsje wat lila en groene inkt aangebracht. Heel simpel. Lintje en een randje, klaar!
Fijne dag en bedankt voor het kijken, Anja

One more try
We had a great time with friends and I hate to say goodbye but that's part of our life.
So I did my little cry and now we are getting back in our routine, kind of, summerbreak starts tomorrow. The kids are really excited! And I, I am not ready at all. Next week we are going camping and the trailer is still in the shed. So that's my plan for this afternoon, trying to get things ready. But first I wanted to post something.
This is a thank you card for one of the teachers. When I saw those crocheted flowers I just had to make some. I can actually crochet, I didn't even need a pattern!
I have made another one but I can't get it uploaded in the right direction.
So maybe tomorrow, have a great day and thanks for stopping by, Anja
Sunday, June 7, 2009
Time to enjoy
Hope to be back soon with something to share!
I probably have to go on a strict diet next week, a good time to stamp.
