Hi ...

Here is my card for this week's colorQ challenge. And due to the fact that I'm in the middle of some major packing for our move I have to hurry ...... so sorry!

I try to be back tomorrow with a card a little chat :)

Introducing International Inkers

Hello everybody!

Today marks he beginning of a new venture... well, kind of!

Welcome to Crafters without borders ~ otherwise know as the International Inkers! A few of us thought it would be fun to share kits internationally and a group was born. Representing Germany we have the talented Imke, Canada is ably supported by crafty Karen and the amazing Paola and the United States is provided props by our own spunky Catherine and Michelle - woohooo... last but not least I joined too ;)

Each month one of us will send identical kits across the borders to our fellow Inkers and once they are received at all the destinations, a posting date will be chosen and our creations will be up for all to see. We also have a special International Inkers incentive for each posting. When you stop at each blog and leave a comment, you will be entered into a drawing to receive the same kit that the Inkers created with. This month's kit is pictured on the right and will also include the same images in an ink of the winner's choice.

Here is the list of all "International Inkers":

Catherine

Imke

Karen

Michelle

Paola

and me ;)

Thank you for swinging by today - and now, go visit the other girls - you won't be disappointed !

Have a wonderful Sunday

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!!

Hugs Tanja
