My 12 favourite 2010 cards

Well this was a difficult task! I found it practically impossible to pick my favourite cards from 2010, it should have been 10, but since there are 12 months I thought I would choose 12 cards too.

Spring/Summer 2010













Autumn/Winter 2010

Have a lovely evening!

Stamp with Stampavie and more challenge #80, GDT card

Good morning!
Maybe you've noticed in my previous post (or maybe not) that I've been chosen by the most fantastic and super talented ladies from the Stamp with Stampavie and more DT to be one of their February guest designers! Isn't that just wonderful!!? This challenge blog was one of the first I discovered when I started making cards and posting and this really is an honour for me, so thank you so much ladies!:)

This weeks challenge is a fantastic one! I know you're gonna love it, because I know many people love colour combo challenges. I do, too and this is really one of my favourites: Pink and Brown colour combination. What do you say to that?! :)

And here is my card:



I thought I would finally ink up this cute little Emma from SCACD designed by Elisabeth Bell, for this card. I think she is absolutely adorable! The paper is K &Co. The sentiment is Whiff of Joy and the corner stamp is from the Queen Kat Designs. The brown flower is Poppicrafts, I added a punched pink flower and a pink rose in the centre. The brown flowers are also a Queen Kat Designs stamp. The lace, ribbon, pins and the safety pin are from stash.



Emma was coloured with watercolours

Stampin' for the Weekend, challenge #18

Good morning!
It's Friday today and that means a new challenge at Stampin' for the Weekend!
But, before I show you my DT card and tell you what sort of challenge we've come up with this week, sadly, I would like to inform you first that I have left the Stampin' team. This was a very hard decision for me, as I've been in the team from the beginning and love our challenges and really like all the fabulous ladies from the team and I know I'm going to miss it all, but it had to be done. Right now I can't give my 100% to the team and the best thing was to leave. I just hope that I was able to give you some inspiration while I was in the team! :)

Now, onto the challenge and onto my DT card (my last DT card for SFTW)
This weeks challenge is called - Back to the 80's with a difference.

It is a combination of any of the titles of the three songs offered and a colour combo of Purple, Orange and Blue.

We have three songs from the 80's and you only need to base your card on one of the titles of the songs. The songs being offered are:

1. Girls on Film - Duran Duran
2. Dirty Laundry - Don Henley
3. Girls Just Wanna Have Fun - Cyndi Lauper

So, base your creation on one of the titles of the three songs (not lyrics), interpret it in your own way and be sure to use the following colour combo of -Purple, Orange and Blue.

Here is my DT card, based on the title of the third song - Girls Just Wanna Have Fun by Cyndi Lauper :



I used another of my SCACD stamps designed by Elisabeth Bell - "Spunkette". The paper is K&Co, Sparkly Sweet. The sentiment stamp is Stampendous, the other sentiment is computer generated. The orange flowers have been stamped with a flower stamp from the Queen Kat Designs. I used a heart corner punch, added a purple button which I received from the lovely Moni, while the purple ribbon and orange pins are from stash.



The cute Spunkette has been coloured with watercolours.

We have a fabulous sponsor this week - Peachy Keen Stamps

Christmas Bunny and Danni

Good evening!

I made two cards for the weekend, for two challenges and both of them have sketches to be followed. Lili of the Valley, challenge #39 which has a sketch by Marcea and Sketch Saturday, sketch #74.

Here is my card for the Lili of the Valley, challenge #39 first:



I finally used this cute Lili of the Valley stamp, called "Christmas Bunnies - Post" and I think it's really adorable. The sentiment stamp is Queen Kat Designs and the papers are Basic Grey, Wassail. I added Prima flower and burgundy rose which came from Bunny Zoes Crafts, just like the papers. The red ribbon is from stash.



Image was coloured with watercolores and I added some stickles (Frosted Lace) for the snow and coloured some parts of Bunny's hat with sakura gelly roll pen (it doesn't show In the photo, though), but it actually looks very nice.

and Marcea's sketch:

And here is my card for the Sketch Saturday, sketch #74 .



This is another stamp that I used for the first time here, this one is called "Danni" and it's from SCACD, designed by Elisabeth Bell. The sentiment stamp is Whiff of Joy, the paper is K&Co, Sparkly Sweet. I added blue flower from the Poppicrafts and a Salmon rose in the centre. The ribbons are from stash.

Picnic with Dolly and happy post, again :)

Good evening!

I made a card today using one of my new SCACD stamps designed by Elisabeth Bell. I followed the sketch at A Spoon Full of Sugar challenge and the colour sheme of Pink and Green is this weeks challenge at the Cute Card Thursday.



Like I said, for this card, I used one of the SCACD stamps which, as you maybe remember, I won at Elisabeth Bell's . This is the second one I coloured in, it's called - "Dolly". Isn't it adorable? The papers are from stash, just as are the pink ribbon, buttons and the pearls. The pink flowers are from the Poppicrafts and the sentiment is Whiff of Joy.



The image, as usual, has been coloured with watercolours.
