cqc#56 - comfy couch

Hi there,

another week another colourQ challenge. Love the colors Arielle has chosen for this week *happy sigh*.

Go and check out the sample from the amazingly talented DT - they will blow you away.

I will be back later with some deets - kids need to be brought to bed in a second :)

cqc55 - 2 challenges

Hi friends,

have you heard it already? Arielle has posted two challenges over at the colourQ-blog for today- the first one is a wonderful fall-ish color combo and the second one is with lots of pink : it's Breat Cancer Awareness Month!!!

And if you play along with both challenges you can win a prize!!! How cool is that?

I made a card for each challenge and I kept them pretty simple.

My first one is for the pink-challenge and I was inspired by this beautiful card from Maille Belles. I just added a little bit more black for "drama" (love this word!).

This is my second card for the fall-color-combo. I stamped the leaf from "Fall Season" by Inkadinkado randomly in tango tangerine, riding hood red (still no pure poppy ink here yet) and river rock. I then added the sentiment from "Dream du Jour" by SU in black. The MS glitter was sprinkled on a strip of sookwang tape and the button was cut off an old jacket (I love to reuse :)) and popped right away onto this card. There we go!

Now it's your turn - show us your take on the color combos and with a little bit of luck you will be the winner!!!

Thank you for stopping by and leaving all this wonderful encouraging comments. They mean a lot to me.

Hugs Tanja

cqc#54 - BOO

Hi there,

I'm late again. Seems to be a "new tradition" here - have to change this :)

Today is colorQ-day again and Arielle has chosen some great Halloween colors - love it. So I printed out this adorable little "Ladybug" designed and just released by Lori Boyd ( if you haven't yet you HAVE TO go and check out her digi-store - sooooooo cute).

The layout is from Iheart2 stamp by Jen del Muro - love it, definately will use it more often in the future.

Gotta run - need to prepare everything for tomorrow for work :)

Take care and hugs for y'all

cqc#53 PTI Guide Lines II

Hi there,

it's been a busy week for the Hartmann Family. I had my frist day of work on Friday and even though I just LOVE to go to work it is pretty "exhausting" to make it a new routine. We are leaving the house so early and the kids still need some more time to get adjusted to the new situation. Preparing all the little things the night before is nesseccary and still needs a little practicing :).

So, enough rambling. Today is Tuesday again and that means time for the colourQ challenge.

I Loved the colors for this week but couldn't get the pear pizzaz worked in - tell me how do you like it ....

The DP is selfmade with my Guide Lines Two set from PTI - I think it is a must have set - so versatile and cool. I listed to my friend Arielle when she told me to "play" with my stamps. I pulled out quite a bit ink pads and .... played. LOVE the results *sigh*

Thank you for stopping by and hope to see you soon :)

Hugs Tanja
