Hi there,

sorry for the late post today (well, actually I was supposed to post this yesterday ....) but I totally messed up the days. We are in the middle of "moving-preparations" and even I made a ton of lists it is really hard to keep on track with all the tiny things that are important to do , grrrr! :)

But here is my card for this week's colorQ-challenge. I chose this little cutie from "Lily of the valley" stamps and colored him with Copics. The sentiment is from "All Stars" set by PTI and the paper is from SU - Pawsitively .... . I really love this grass punch from Martha Stewart. Will use pretty often as soon as our stuff will be unpacked in our new home in Germany ... ***sniff***

The ketch was borrowed from Taylor from this challenge.

I'm off to start packing up my dear paper packs, inks, .... - oh boy, that will be hard for me!!!

Have a great day and thanky ou for seeing me today here!!

Hugs Tanja

Blast from the Past - TE blog hop

Hi there,

and welcome to the "Blast From The Past" blog hop from Taylored Expression. When you come from Carol Rinear's blog then you are on the right track. If not then you might want to go back to Taylor's blog and start from the beginning.

There was just one "challenge" for this hop: use a stamp set that was released before the year 2010. EasyPeasy!!! I chose "Discover your wings" - and I used the sketch Taylor provided for this hop - love it!!!! Paper is from October Afternoon - Thrift Shop. Everything else is pretty selfexplaining.

Now hop over to my sweet friend Arielle's blog to see what she whipped up for you - I promise it will be worth a visit ;)

And just in case you get lost on your hop you can find a list of all the participants on the end of this post (I really hope the link is working ....)

Thank you for stopping by today - I hope to see you soon!

Hugs Tanja

Hi there,

and thank you for stopping by today. To all of you who came over for the There-She-Goes-blog-hop: Thank you so much for making it such a huge success! Man, I haven't had that many comments and feedback on my posts yet - they are so appreciated and it is always amazing to see how many of you actually take the time to visit me here on my little corner of the web - THANK YOU very much from the bottom of my heart!

Okay, stop rambling now, Tanja!

Today's card is made with the color of this week's colorQ challenge.

LOVE them. And I really like how the black layer gives the card a bit of elegance :) And please, can anybody help with this DP - I found a scrap of it in my stash and I know it is a retired SU paper but I have no clue which one ...

Hope to see you back soon

Hugs Tanja
