Hello Friend

Hi Everyone,

Hope you are having a good start to this week. I have had a good weekend, but are now so tiered. Anyway, wanted to share a little card with you today....

I have used this so sweet image from From the Heart Stamps called Hamlet PigWit Think Spring. It´s a progressive challenge. It means you will get a free stamp next month if you play along with this one. I didn´t have time last month so I went a got this one at the shop to play along. Don´t want to miss out on any of these cuties....

Isn´t he gorgeous? I have coloured with ProMarkers and Faber Castel pencils. I used papers from my scrap stash, some flowers and foam decos. Used some stickles to make the butterfly pop out a bit. Also added some 3-d dots to make the pig jump out. Behind the ladybird punched edge I got some corrugated cardstock.

I would like to enter this card into following challenges:

Thought I had so celebrate in some way so I made this little card. I used Kenny K´s Frieda Flapper, she looks so happy and lucky doesn´t she? Then I used a lot of green, some ribbbon and rhinestones. The flower circle is a new dies for me, it´s very pretty, don´t you agree?

I used a sketch I found at Sketch Saturday and it looked like this

So Happy St Patrick´s to Everyone!

I coloured with my ProMarkers and Faber Castel pencils.

DT card for Crafty Catz

Here is my last post for today and it´s all about the new challenge over at Crafty Catz.

 This time it´s me who picked the theme.

 I´ll hope you like it, it´s a little bit tricky 

but I know you can do it!

The theme is 

Boys and their toys

So we want to see cards made for men or boys. But we also want to see some of their toys, like motorbikes, cars, instruments, sport things or tools...

We got a wonderful sponsor this week. 

Thank you Stamp4Joy!

South African crafters are new to the digital stamping world, with the first South African online digital image store launched in 2010 – Digistamps4Joy (or DS4J)http://www.digistamps4joy.co.za/eshop/. In May 2012, Margy Kieser took over ownership of DS4J, and there are now two South African artists who contribute to the more than 500 images available. Margy has taken the store to new heights and the store now stocks digis that are cute, whimsical, artistic, sometimes serious, and sometimes humorous. In addition, one of our own South African rubber stamp companies granted us permission for one range of rubber stamps to be converted into digistamp images. The store has PAYPAL, PAYFAST (South African) and EFT (South African) facilities. Digistamps4Joy offers a monthly freebie on the first Friday of every month, and holds regular bi-weekly card challenges that draw entries from many international card makers.

This is what I made with one of the sponsored images

I coloured with ProMarkers and Faber Castell pencils. Used a lot of different papers from my scrap stash. Feels so good to use them up...

I would like to enter this card into following challenges

I heart ProMarkers # 210 - Let´s get spotty
Fussy and Fancy #109 - Birthdays
Crafty Girls Challenges #13 - Anything Goes
Crafty Creations #258 - Happy Birthday
