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!

Bloomy Shilouette

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.

Challenge: Simon Says Stamp - Anything Goes

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!

All Kinds of Vehicles

This time a friend of mine asked me to make a card for their English friend. She said they both love planes and also that her friend loved the boat ride when he visited them last time in Hungary. So I included both. Then it turned out that her friend also loves riding the bicycle in the woods. And so I put also a bicycle on it. :-) I truly hoped it wouldn't turn out he loved garbage trucks, too. ;-)

I've been planing to use chipboard vehicles on cards for a long time so this was the perfect occasion for it. I also ordered some fruit chipboards and I've already made a small greeting card with strawberries for my family while I was dog-sitting at my parents' house for a weekend. I didn't have a camera on hand, but maybe I'll share it here some time.

I'd like to enter this card into the latest SSS challenge: Things with wings and IN[K]SPIRE_me Challenge #95.

PS: I seem to be obsessed with that mint washi tape but I just love it! Perfect colour.

As always, thanks for stopping by!!

Suppies: Neenah Desert Storm and Solar White cardstock, Memento Tuxedo black and Cocoa inks, Scrapfellow chipboards, Echo Park 6x6 pad, mint washi tape, green-white baker's twine from the Twinery

OCC Homework Day 4 - Part 2

I'll keep this post short as I have to run now. This is the 'Her' part of my homework for Day 4 at OCC, aka my Mother's Day card. I kept the sketch of my masculine card, but put more embellishments on it. Hope my mom will like it tomorrow!

Thanks for your nice comments so far, I'll try to wander around a bit later too and check you guys out with your homework! ;)

OCC Homework Day 4 - Part 1

This is my masculine card for Day 4 - but not a Father's Day card as we don't celebrate it here. This time I kept the sketch for both cards, so I'll be back with my Mother's Day card in the next post.

Keeping those straws in place wasn't that easy! So it is kind of an experimental card too.
