A new post and another PKS challenge

Hi there,

I know, it has been a long time since my last post! Sorry about that. We were busy with organizing a German Oktoberfest here and last weekend we took a time-out and went to the beaches. In between there were a lot of appointments and other stuff going on like stomach-bug, flu, .....

But now I'm back and I have to show you lots of stuff I was working on during the last weeks.

Peachy Keen Stamps have a HUGE blog-candy and you can still win it until October 23th!!! Go get it!!!!!

And they have a new challenge going on this week. What about hop over to there blog and play. You should make an ornament and you have to add something gold and a hanging device - and a stamped image!

I ended up using a circle chipboard that I covered with Ski Slope DP. I punched out all the snowflakes with my Martha Stewart snowflakes punch, added them to the chipborad and placed a rhinestone in each center. The old olive scallop circle was punched out too and golden stickles were added. My dear "What's so funny snowman" came to good use again. I colored him in with just a little bit of my watercolor pencils and added red stickles and white liquid appliqué. Finally I'm not really satisfied with the result ... something is missing, hm? But anyway!

I had Gretel from C.C. Design sitting on my desk for a long time and wanted to give her a great sketch but I couldn't get it right. Until I found a sketch over at The Pink Elephant. And I adore this SU Cottage Wall DP - both together made a nice card for a girlfriend. I have to admire that it looks like I didn't level it out correctly but I meassure everything...

I hope you enjoyed it. Thank you for stopping by today - I will post more often - I promise ;-)

Hugs Tanja
