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.

Enamel Dots and Watercolor Paper Card

This is another use of my coool enamel dots... Yeah, I'm way behind the trends but I don't care.

Btw I love watercolor paper. Its texture is just mesmerizing, don't you think?

Banners Birthday Card

I could use my cute enamel dots finally. The sentiment part was quite hard to come up with.

Another Simple (Or Not?) Christmas Card

On our summer holiday in Maastricht I managed to get my hands on some white StazOn ink and now I finally found the time to use it what I'd bought it for. The result: me likey. :-)

Simple Christmas

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

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!  :)
