cqc#75 happy birthday

Hi there,

I'm terribly late with my post for this week's colorQ challenge. We have two sick kiddos at home, hubby is preparing for his deployment (which will be in July but he already in trainings...) and I got a new job where I actually need to be in the office and not at home with the little ones ;). And on top .... our new home!!!! We will get the key on the 26th of this month - boy can you tell I am excited!!!!!! Enough rambling - and back to the reason you are here for, right?

I kept my card clean and simple again because I was in a hurry. And of course I used my beloved PTI goodies :) can't get enough of 'em.

Thank you for visiting me today - have a blessed one

Hugs Tanja

cqc #74 Fly away

Hi there,

another sky theme - you may ask? YES - Arielle has chosen a great color combo for this week's colourQ challenge and I had to go with the sky. And other than that... well, my hubby will be deployed by the beginning of July and I wanted to have a head start with guy-cards I plan to send to him. So you will see the sky and the clouds and the ballons and all the kites and other stuff like that more often .... (pssst, because it's related to his work;) )

For my card today I used a set from There she goes - darn, I always forget the name but they have just one that is with ballons and scenery ... . And the blue ballon was taken from the "fly away" set by PTI. I stamped the birds in black and added just a little glittery shimmer with a Sakura pen but on the photo you see just the glitter, grrr!

The background was sponged with broken china distressed ink. It looks stunning in reality but not on the pic - so sad.

Thank you for stopping by today - take care, my friend

Waiting Tilda - Love U

Hi there,

thank you for stopping by today.

I wanna show you a Magnolia card that I created for the Friday Sketchers challenge. I got this Tilda from one of my stamping buddies from SCS.

We are doing a special swap/ challenge. The host of the month stamps 3-4 images and sends them out to the participants. Each of the ladies creates a card using the image and post it on her blog. It is so fun to see all the different cards made with the same image.. I love the paper Tilda was stamped on - so sparkly!!!! can you see it the picture in the right? It' even sparklier in reality :)

Thank you Linda for this one!!

cqc#73 dotty hi

Hi there,

it's time again for the colorQ challenge. And Arielle has chosen "my" colors for this week's challenge. LOVE all kind of blues but I seem to have trouble getting a card done with them ... So I stayed with the cas style and used 2 PTI sets "Dot Spots" and "Outlined Alphabet"".

Unfortunately I messed up the "i" while coloring in poor light ...grrr! We wanna see your creation - come and play with us!!!

Hugs Tanja

Violets bookmark and card

Hi there,

I'm back with another project using my Year of flowers: violets. This week's Make it Monday at Nichole Heady's blog she is featuring the "glitter with scor-tape"-technique. Last week I played with my goodies and used glitter on a strip of score-tape. I'm kind of sad that the glitter did not turn out that bright. But it's okay. The main focus was the bookmark anyway - it's a gift for my sister who loves to read.

Despite the paper, glitter and doily I used PTI only :) LOVE THIS COMPANY :)

Thank you for visiting me today and thak you so much for your encouraging comments - thay really mean so much to me.

Special hugs Tanja
