Cozy snowflakes

Hi there,

here is my take for this week's OCC challenge. We were supposed to use the colors close to cocoa, choc chip, pumpkin pie and white. Man, I absolutely L O V E this combination. It gave me such a warma nd cozy feeling while pitting this card together... sounds crazy, huh?

A couple days ago I saw my friend Sandra using her Kaleidoscope embossing powder for embossing not just the outlines but a whole image. So I gave it a try with my snowflake and was stunned how beautiful it looks like. You can't see it very well on the picture but it is sparkling like real snowflakes are ......

Thank you for visiting me today. Have a wonderful day and don't forget to tell your loved ones today that you love them.

Hugs Tanja

Build a house

Hi there,

I'm back with another card today - I wanted to participate in the challenge every Thursday over at the OCC blog. But last week's sketch gave me a real hard time. Plus I thought I could manage to combine it with the challenge at Peachy Keen where you are supposed to use just their faces.

Finally I came up with an idea but after I was finished I realized that me card pretty much look like the sample they posted on the site .... Well, at least it was a try .... :-)

I draw the shingles per hand with SU markers and the curtains are cut out by hand after eyeballing ... And I hide two faces from Peachy Keen's set "You are my sunshine". Can you find them? Yeah, right! In the upper windows - kinda behind the curtains.

The snowflakes were punched out and I then ran them through the Xyron. After that I dipped them with the sticky side in glitter. Easy, huh? I just like it!

That's it for today. Thank you for joining my and I wish y'all a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving.

Hugs Tanja

Home for christmas

Hi there,

I just ADORE this set from SU - the image is classic but I always have a cozy feeling when I look at it. And The sentiment that goes with it is just awesome. Couldn't have said it better....

So, when my friend Arielle asked me if I would like to make a card for her colorQ challenge this week I grabbed this set instantly.

I still have to work on my coloring skills though but hey ... who is perfect, huh? ;-)

Hop over to Arielle's challenge and take a little time to play with us. There are so many talented ladies joining each week ...

Take care my friends

Hugs Tanja

Treasures

Hi there,

today during nap time I could sneak in a little stamping time :-) and came up with this card for this week's Viva La Verve challenge over at SCS.

The stamps are part of my second stamp set from Verve called "Believe" (fell in love with their stamps lately). Julee designed it for Breast Cancer Awareness month which was in October. But most of the stamps can be used for nearly all occasions - I just LOVE it!!!

The card is pretty self-explaining so I'll just leave you with the ingredients ....

Have a wonderful day

Hugs Tanja

I made a card for last week's OCC sketch/challenge and for my friend Arielle's colorQ challenge. I wanted it to look like a bunch of post-cards tied together. Well, it kind of worked, huh?

Thank you for stopping by again ;-)
