Simple Christmas

Feels too early at shops but not in cardmaking: Christmas. This is one of the first attempts from me for this year.

Challenge: SSS - Christmas/Happy Holiday

Simple Gifts For The Little Ones

Made these for my fiancé's niece and nephew for their birthday a couple of weeks ago. I tried to make them look like their family because I read children liked playing the everyday life of their families ...but I'm not that good at drawing. :) And they are really simple. Anyway, I hope they like playing with them.

September...Are We Just Starting Again?

Now that I've a had a minor (but painful) surgery on my big toe that'll recover completely  in three (!) months, September is really like in one of my fave U2 song, Please:

September 
Streets capsizing 
Spilling over 
Down the drain 
Shards of glass splinters like rain 
But you could only feel 
Your own pain 

And yes, I'm still behind with my calendar a bit... but I know our official engagement dinner with our parents is closer because our wedding rings are ready and we got to take them next Tuesday!  :)

The Sweetest Thing ... and one of the most important questions in my life!

I've bought recently 5 sets of Paper Smooches that I've been eyeing with for so long. Even before ordering them I knew I wanted to make a great male card with this stamp for my boyfriend's upcoming birthday.

Challenge: Lawnscaping Challenge no. 63 - One Layer Card

The big day was on Saturday. I gave this to him in the morning then we went to the market to buy some fruits for his cake. I then made the cake, we ate it for lunch (yes, you read it right, it was his wish!), then he told me that he'd take me somewhere that he wouldn't tell me about... I was curious, it was his birthday where could we go?

Well, he took me to the theme park in Budapest. They're going to close it down in September and I've never been to it before! I got all excited! Then came something more serious... After trying things like the old roller coaster (google it you won't regret) he took me to the ferris wheel. It was reeeeeallly slow. Then pulled out a little box from his pocket with a small leporello-like card (made by him). To put it in a nutshell and keep a few details to ourselves (;-)) HE POPPED THE QUESTION! With no escape... I said YES!

I couldn't be happier!

More and More PS Stamps

I made this card as soon as I got my hands on these stamps at my parent's (I send my orders to them because it's safer but they live 70 km from me). It's for my mum's nameday.

Her name means violet (the flower) so I also made a pun about it inside, like there's no violet on here but there's no one even like you! :)

Thanks for popping by!

And the result:

I tried to catch the shilouette of the modell besides the beautiful pattern. As simple as it gets.

Cheer Up Card

Using a Studio Calico paper pad and a Scrapfellow button (says 'Every day is good'). Lately I'm in love with these soft colors. Oh and feathers. I really do need to get my hands on some feather stamps.

Supersecret Card

It's so secret that I'll even hide it after the CAS-Friday Polkadot challenge for this week has expired. :-)

Update: everything's been hidden. Thanks for your nice comments. 

Have a great rest of the weekend!

Summer Fruits and a Sunflower

Tried to to something summery for my mum's birthday in July. I have a bag of fruit chipboards from Scrapfellow and I found some ideas on their blog on how to use them in different ways. I love that their shiny, I think it gives them an additional dimension. :-) Also, I bought the little sunflower ages ago, I knew I wanted to put it on mum's card, so there it goes.

Long Time No Sea

It's been a while since I've posted my last card. We've translated a horror game (yes, you read it right) and I'm attending a course in Rock History at coursera, plus I've enrolled into a Spanish course that'll begin next week. Busy and exciting times. :)

In the meanwhile, it also turned into hot summer. Also it's the beginning of our ritual family birthday celebrations. :)) This goes to my not-so-little bro, I hope he won't peek it here.

Actually, he's a motorboat racer but his nickname is something like 'Raftsman'. :-) So I thought this sailboat would be appropriate. Also he's turned 22 on Tuesday. The orange candydots refer to bouys. :-)

And this is the fun part. We like making fun of each other, so I had to put in there something funny.

I'm also entering this card into the following challenges:

Simon Says - Transport

CFC105: Mapquest

I'm hoping here to go somewhere near a beach soon, 'cause it's getting quite hot here!

Have a nice weekend!
