A Gorgeous Dress

This dress is the most beautiful one I've seen in a while. It is gorgeous! I would so love to wear it (without the fur of course). So I instantly wanted to make a card based on this inspirational photo of RIC's 52 challenge. And this is what it turned out to be:

If you look closely there are smaller yellow dots in the bacground of this cool springy patterned paper (one of my favourites) but I also wanted to highlight the thing that caught my eyes for the first time I looked at this dress: the feather-like splatters. Sooo I fuzzy cut a feather from a sheet of gold paper.

Thanks for stopping by! :)

Leafy Birthday

This card was inspired by this one from Debby Hughes and this one from Aimes mainly,  but I've seen similar ones all over blogland, just check out Pinterest. :) I did change a few things and I like it a lot. Anyway, it's for the 60th of my future mother-in-law. It's an A5-sized card, I know, a huge one! The background's made from the scraps from our future wedding album.

Challenges:
Paper Smooches Sparks - Anything Goes 
Simon Says Stamp - Emboss It

Thanks for looking!

Maastricht > Köln

Elkészült a 2. nagyon egyszerű minialbumom is, a tavalyihoz hasonlóan szintén nyári élményekkel. Mivel már nagyon készülök az esküvői albumra, ezt használtam gyakorlóterepnek néhány számomra még új, izgalmasabb technikához. Bár a legelső oldal még nincs kész (hiányzik az útitársainkkal készült közös kép), néhányat megmutatok.

I've finished my 2nd very simple mini album made from our summer memories, just like the one from last year. As I'm trying to prepare for our wedding album, I've also used it as a test opportunity for more exciting techniques that I haven't tried. Although the very first page is still not finished (waiting for an additional photo with our travelling mates), I'm showing you some of the pages.

Hurray

I've just won this calendar kit from Pippi. It's full of goodies as I imagine that I will looooove. Thanks Pippi, thanks 2014! Now back to our wedding preps...

PS: I have finished our summer holiday album and will begin to prepare a full-sized wedding album that I'll do with the help of the first online scrapbooking course I've ever attented. I should also create something super-special for D's mom till February. Busy bee days!

It's Snow Time!

I just love everything about this card. Feels like everything is as it should be. Exactly like on Christmas Eve. ;-)

Challenges:
CFC 123: Let It Snow

Warm

This was something experimental. Sticker on cardstock decorated with white gel pen, glossy accent, Xmas red stickles and white acrylic paint.

I'll be back tomorrow with my favourite card for this year. :-)

Challenge: Keep it simple #29 - warm

Thanks for looking!

Inspired By

Thanks for the inspiration to Case Study 167!
The colours of this photo are somewhat misleading... e.g. the flower below is embossed in gold, though somehow it looks brown but the other colours are just fine. hehe Oh, and I love this paper (it's from Basic Grey, the whole pad is just so cool).

Thanks for looking!

Owly Christmas

This was an attempt to try my snow paste on a card. Lesson learned: you have to use it on a thicker cardstock (here it's on Neenah Desert Storm).

Owl I Want Is You

Just to make sure he shows up on the Big Day in February. ;-)

Challenge: Lawnscaping - Challenge 69

In other news I got enrolled into my first ever scrapbook workshop. But only because it's about mixed media techniques and mainly because it's about a......WEDDING ALBUM!

Yeah, else I'd never made it to scrapbooking and I'm still not sure about it but I'll give it a go soon. Pretty excited and hope to find the time to finish it before the big day, which is btw 22 Feb if everything goes smoothly. We have the restaurant, my dress, the rings, from next week it'll be about the details.
