cqc52 - happy birthday colorQ

Hi there,

here is another colorQ card for you today. Due to the fact that colorQ celebrate it's first birthday today (HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!) Arielle challenged us to create a card based on a sketch and with our favorite past colorQ combo.

I chose cQc #22 because I just love those combo - airy and breezy *happy sigh*. And I was in a need of a bookmark/ card so I decided to combine both.

This is the inside of the card.

I borrowed this "special" perforation cutter from my SiL and I think I need one for myself. This thingy cut the perforation exactly there where it belongs - love it! And after you finished reading thecard you just rip of the bookmark and use for whatever book you are reading - GREAT!

The sentiments and images are from PTI "All booked up" set - which is just the perfect set for all this little book related gifties .

That'll be all for today. Please stop at the coloQ blog and celebrate with us - and of course don't forget to check out the cards from the DT - they rocked the challenge :)

Hugs Tanja

P:S: - will be back later with the supply-list - kids are screaming and bleeding :::rolleyes:::

Wedding-Day???

Hi everybody,

no, it's not wedding day over here but I thought I share this card with you today. I created it with one of Lori Boyd's digis "bride and groom" available in her shop - love it.

The sketch is from Sweet Sunday Sketch - so perfect to combine a bunch of scrap paper (here all from Boxer by Basic Grey).

And just in case I really need to give it away for a wedding I can add the initials of the bride and groom on the hearts ... we will see!

I'm off to prepare dinner now :)

Hugs and wish y'all a wonderful weekend

Tanja

Supplies:

stamps: Bride and Groom from Design by Lori Boyd (digi image), short and sweet sentiments SU

paper: night of navy, riding hood red, PTI white, DP Boxer from Basic Grey

others: Circle and scalloped circle nesties, label and designer label punch, heart punch SU, Copic markers, clear rhinestone stickers, stardust stickles

remember to smile - by Lori Boyd digi

Hi there,

what do yo think of this cutie??? I just LOVE her. I have "her" sitting on my desk colored in 3 different ways and waiting for the next matching sketch :).

This image is called "Peekaboo Baby" and can be found here. Lori Boyd is one talented designer, I tell you. She makes the most cutest images ever. When I first saw her Puddlejumpers I fell in love *happy sigh*.

For this card I didn't wanna make a typical baby card. I used the sketch from Jen del Muro and played with the challenge from Claudia and Company ( use 1 flower, 2 DP and 3 buttons - I actually figured out that it was NOT the challenge from Claudia an company - but I have no clue which one it was.... ) and made kind of an encouragement card. And since there is always somebody who can use one of those ... :)

Thank you for stopping by today - and a special thanky to all you who left this encouraging and sweet comments on my last posts. They all mean so much to me - huge hug to everybody

Blast from the past - blog hop

Hi there,

and thank you for stopping by today. A warm welcome to all the hoppers who arrived here for the TE blog hop - you are on the right track :)

For today's hop I finally inked up my "You are my hero" set which was sitting on my desk for ever. And I used one of Taylor's awesome Key Ingredients set (just annot remember which one it is ...). Since I have to two and a lot of teenager around us this set is just PERFECT! So I tried to create a card that could be used for a boy or a girl. And the sketch Sankari provided was great to work with.

Unfortunately it was soo difficult to get a good pic from the card without any reflection from the foil - well, this is my best try, sorry!

The stars were stamped with black craft ink and then embossed with iridescent (???) embossing powder. In real life it looks so cool but on the photo ...:(. I added a lot of sponging with basic gray ink. The foil was cut with a circle nestie, embossed with an embossing plate from PTI and after that crumbled up. I like the look.

Gotta run, the kids need a nap (shhht, Mommy too ;))

Hugs to y'all and hope to see you back soon
