The last day

of the year is here, and I am really proud of myself! A year ago I started a project called 365 days!! Every single day of last year, from January first till December 31st I have made a picture!! All the pictures are saved in a special folder (and on discs) and untill June I have written a diary about the picture of that day! I will have a bit more time on my hands in the new year (I was swamped in card-orders etc) so I can finish writing my diary!

Here's another x-mas card (it never stops!!) with such a cute image from my pile! The coloring looks so great in real, the picture does not do it justice! I again used Promarkers and a bit of Basic Grey paper!

Have a wonderfull newyears eve, and I will post again next year (hahahahaha)!!

A rat

or a mouse?? Not sure about this stamp, as the little creature looks like a rat, but it is called housemouse!! Confusing hey!! Anyways, this was another one from the pile I have.

Cute little rat-mousy is colored with ..... tatatadaaaaaaa ..... Promarkers!! hahaha :) I love the backgroundpaper, though I can't recall what make it is. Might be Basic Grey but I am not sure!

Snowmen

Actually it's a snowman and a snowwoman! Years and years ago, when I still lived in Holland, a friend of mine back then owned a lot of image stamps. Back then I had no clue about coloring or whatever, but on a lovely weekend when I was at her house, she brought the stamps down and I inked and stamped my little heart out. I've got a huge pile of images, still waiting to be colored!! And this is one of them!

Aren't they just the cutest pair of snowpeople!! The little bit of coloring was done with Promarkers, and the amazing backgroundpaper is from an old Basic Grey Collection. Not too much embellishments, because the paper is just too pretty!

Happy 80th

Mandy, Ian's sister-in-law, asked me ages ago to make 2 birthday cards. One was for a lady who's birthday is on x-mas day, and another just in the new year. I know you think to yourself, x-mas is over and done with now, but I was in time making the cards!! Just not in time in posting them onhere :)

I made an easel-card with the lovely Marianne Design Die. Distressed and stencilled it with lovely Distress Ink. Colored Sarah Kay with Promarkers, cut her out and glued her on the card. Made the little rose myself again :) I love making these roses!!

Maybe a bit too springy for a January card, but I was a bit done with the snow and christmas colors! Cute bunny is colored with Promarkers.

Merry Christmas

I hope everyone has had a good Christmas Day yesterday, and will enjoy boxing day, second christmas day or however you wanna call it!

Just a quick post from me, with another christmas card. I was nearly done for 2010, only needed to make 5 more according to my list :) Here they are:

Cute little christmas bunny (hope he does not end up on someones plate!!) colored with Promarkers. I handstitched the purple stitches, and used a few Dies.

Made another book with the Spellbinders Dies. I love making these!! They look so real and good in real life :)

Very simple card. Not one embellishment on it!! Popcorn the Bear is colored with Promarkers.

Isn't this cute :) I love the background paper from Basic Grey! Wish I had bought more of that line. I wanted to make like an iced flower with the puffy stuff, but yeah, more puffy stuff came out my pen then I wanted too, so it is a wee bit too puffed!! I learned to be very carefull in using that pen hahaha!

I love the colors on this Popcorn the Bear image. Used Promarkers again, and I really am getting the hang of the coloring a lot more!! I did not really wanna use any embellishments as the background paper is so pretty!!

That's it for the day. Again a good christmas day to everyone!

Tilda

One more day till christmas. To be honoust, I can't wait for it to be over, and for the kids to have settled down again! Not to mention my boyfriend, but that's a different story :):)

I love this Tilda image. She looks all warm and cosy in her coat and gloves!! She will need it this winter :) I colored her with Promarkers. Made a little frame with 2 different Spellbinder Nestabilities. I used 2 miniature stamps from Barbara Grey on the frame and sentiment. Puffed up the snowflakes (I love puffing up stuff. It's even better then embossingpowder!!).

2 more cards made in Holland

Finally the last 2 cards I made when I was in Holland. It has been a very productive holiday, and it's amazing really that I did find the time to make so many cards, as my holiday was already fully booked with things to do and places to go before I actually had booked my flight!!

I used this amazing Marianne Design die, and cut the cardshape. The circle in the middle is a Spellbinders nestability that my mum bought at the craftfair. I love that one, and in the newyear it will be bought by me hahaha!! I colored the image with Promarkers, cut a lovely snowflake and puffed it up with some snowpuff stuff, and sprinkled it with glitters!! Little roses are bought on the craftfair, so that's just a matter of cutting them of the wire and glue them on :) I like fast flowers like that :)

This project (I think this goes beyond the word car really) I started in Holland, but finished it off at home. I cut the word JOY with the cricut machine, and glittered them. Colored my lovely Santa with Promarkers, and I was really pleased with the outcome! At home I made the big roses, got the smaller ones from the craftfair and added some leafs, branches-thingies and a glittery swirl!! I love the way it looks, and ofcourse the picture does not do it justice at all!!

Well, there you have it, I am almost caught up to the cards I have made in the last 3 weeks. But that is for tomorrow.
