Waltzingmouse challenge

Hello again,

are you already wondering why I post that much this week? I just having a ball - that's it. I used my "kids-in-preschool-time" very wisely and did a lot of stamping (at least for me a lot) and there we go. Some challenges I want to play in have a due date soon so I thought that it might be good to post the cards that I made as soon as possible- just in case life is coming in the way, ykwim?

ANd here is my card for the Waltzingmouse challenge - you could win a whole release!!! And Claire whipped up some amazing stamp sets for this month - go and check out her sneak peeks - you will love them!!!

For this card I thought of doing something very creative and made a "paper-fighter" as my son would call it. But mommy isn't as good in paper fighter creating than daddy so you all have to live with my "strange" plane ;-)

Thank you for visiting me again today - I love to have you here!

Hugs Tanja

Supplies:

stamp: Free Spirit - Walzingmouse, The places you'll go - Taylored Expressions

ink: choc chip, pacific point

High Hope challenge bookmark

Hi there,

High Hope's challenge for this week is to create a bookmark. I love bookmarks and I'm always in a need of them because I have the tendency to read a couple book at a time ...

But today I made a bookmark for my oldest son. He is nearly 5 years old and wants to learn how to read (he really wants to - with all his little heart). So, at least I made him this little gift that goes along with a book I bought the other day for the 2 boys.

I have no clue what company the DP is from because I used one of my card kits I got several swaps ago.... I just added the rhinestone stickers and the kraft background. Coloring was done with Copics.

Thank you for peeking in today - I hope you have a fantastic day

Hugs Tanja

CPS and Waltzingmouse

PLEASE NOTE: this is my 2. post for today - please scroll down for today's first card!

Hi there,

I wanted to play with my first Waltzingmouse stamp set since I got it a couple weeks ago and I just found the perfect sketch on Sunday at CardPositioningSystem.

I sponged the piece on aqua mist paper with broken china distress ink, the "sand" was made by a scrap of kraft cs ditressed with antique linen distress ink.

The sentiment was ... well.... a serendipity. I first stamped it in white ink and figured out that it wasn't really visible so I went back and stamped it a second time in night of navy but without using a stamp positioner. And by eyeballing it I created a kind of a shadow effect with the white ... like it :)

Take care, my friends

Hugs Tanja

Curtain Call & Sweet Sunday Sketch

Hi there,

I got this little lady from my friend Kadie and I had her sitting on my desk forever!!!! When I saw the colors at the Curtain Call blog I had to use this Gorjuss lady. And the sketch from Sweet Sunday sketch was just perfect for the paper and ribbon I wanted to use - I just love it when things fall in place....

I still work on my watercoloring skills - the black hair is okay but I'm not really happy with it - any suggestions how to make it better?

Thank you for popping in today

Hugs Tanja
