MOJO110 and ColorQ4

Good evening!!!!

Finally I finished my card for this 2 challenges - though I have to admit that I'm not too excited about it. Something is missing .....

The colors Arielle chose for her color challenge this week are just beautiful. But without any fall stamps .. well, I haven't had a lot of ideas. So I pulled out this gorgeous stamp set from SU and colored it up with markers. That is so easy and I like the effect. Everything else is self-explaining ... :-)

I'm on the go again - like I said ... crazy week here. Tomorrow we will go to a pumpkin atch with the boy's preschool to pick some pumpkins and carve them later on. Hope to show you some pics of Jack-O-Lantern next week. And we had the first "case" of swine-flu in preschool ... Please keep your fingers crossed for us!!!!!!

Short note for Arielle: I haven't forgotten you - will call you tomorrow night! I promise ***hugs****

I wish you all a wonderful weekend and for those who are dealing with the weather please stay safe and warm!

Hugs Tanja

Butterfly Serentipidy

Hi there!

This will be a super-quick post as if I'm nearly running out of the door (crazy week here :rolleyes:).

After all this girly cards I made in the past days I was so glad to find the CAS challenge today (clean and simple cards). It want you to make a simple card with brads or eyelets. I haven't used eyelets in decades so I gave it a try. And while I was playing with this sweet butterfly stamp from SU I try to stamp of the ink and I really like how "this try" turned out. Kinda looks like the butterfly is flying away .... well ...

Thanks for visiting me today! Take care

Hugs Tanja

Viva la Verve and The Pink Elephant

Moin! (surprised? - that means "hi" in the northern german slang ;-))

I'm back with my entry for Viva la Verve OCT4. And it even fits for the Pink Elephant challenge ... *grin*

I couldn't get enough of this paper from SU - just LOVE it. And the digital images Julee gave away prior to the last release party are just stunning! So I combined both and voilà!

For the TPE challenge I used black brads to cover the black and the hardware and I distressed all edges with my distressing tool. It's kind of hard to see in the picture but it is done, seriously!

Have a wonderful rest of the day

Hugs Tanja

tired of doing laundry?

Good morning!

How are you doing today?

About two weeks ago I received my order from The Greeting Farm. I love their Hope and Grace line and when I saw this lady sitting in the middle of all the laundry I fell in love. Maybe because she reminds me of myself sometimes ... ;-) I colored her with SU markers on watercolor paper but this time I'm not quite sastisfied with the result. Because of the cool DP from Basic Grey you don't see too much of my coloring "mistakes", right?

This was my entry for Viva la Verve OCT3 and the twist was to use fabric. Well, I cut a circle from an old "pirate costume" from the boys and adhered it underneath laundry -hope/ grace. I think this old costume made my card ;-). What do you think?

Thak you for popping in today.

hugs Tanja
