Quick round-up

From the cards I didn't manage to send out this year due to a long-lasting cold.

Happy New Year

Sorry for being silent for so long. I do have my reasons. In November I felt really exhausted and tired all the time, so I tried to keep the main things going only... Well, it looks like we're gonna have a little fella arriving early July. :-) This is my news for 2015! Happy new year everyone!

ric#72 - Hervé Léger

You gotta love the orange colours of autumn. And this dress at RIC's 72nd challenge shows them off perfectly.

So I thought of doing the same:

By the way, it's a thank you card and it has no sentiment outside because you could see it through the vellum leaf, which for personal reasons hasn't been photographed. :-)

Some Sparkles For a Birthday

This card matches its recepients: a playful, bright, brilliant mom and teacher and her brilliant little boy.
(And I love her original American chocolate chip cookie recipe!)

I'm also entering this card into Virginia's View Challenge #9 - All Things Metallic.

Xmas card 2014 #2

This is from the piece where the reindeer came from in my previous post. :) It's really simple, I just put some stickles on certain bulbs of the Christmas trees to make the background more interesting.

Then again, I'm entering this card into Virginia's View Challenge #9 - All Things Metallic.
And I'm not done yet! :-)

I'm also entering this into ric#71 - In Memory of Oscar de la Renta challenge with this dress.

Xmas 2014 #1

The title says it all. :-) 

A big thank you to Scrapfellow for the deer motif. You'll see him around.

Challenge: Virginia's View Challenge #9 - All Things Metallic

Supplies: cork star, stickles, christmas tree patterned paper, silhouette, gold embossing powder, baker twine

Radio Silence

It's been a bit quiet here for some time (due to tons of work), but I've been also working on our wedding album. I have 7 pages ready, which is about half of the album, so I'm thinking about showing them here very soon.

October

I'm entering this card into Virginia's View Challenge #8 and the IN(K)SPIRE_me challenge #167.

Because it's "October /And the trees are stripped bare / Of all they wear  / What do I care / October /  And kingdoms rise / And kingdoms fall / But you go on / And on"

ric#68

I'm entering this card into the current Runway Inspired Challenge #68.

The inspirational photo

This is what I came up with: 

The stamps and the cork star are from Scrapfellow.
Thanks for stopping by.

CASEing The Fantabolous Debby Hughes

OK, I envy the brain of the above mentioned lady and I so wanted to case one of her masterpieces during the month she's the muse of CASE Study. So this is what I came up with for the currents CASE Study Challenge #208.

It's very obvious that this is not an apple. Although I also have some apple chipboards in my stash, it just didn't fit. So I decided to go with the thought of showing you the fading shades of the Indian summer (=autumn) and went with my current favourite colours. By the way, it's a notebook we got at the European Parliament when we went for a visit 2 years ago but I had to personalize it for my own sake. LOL

Hope you like it. :-)
