Dudovi, dudovi.../Mulberries, mulberries...

Zdravo!

Nadam se da ste svi imali ugodan vikend! :) Ja sam malo radila, citala, kuvala, vozila bicikl... Volela bih da sam mogla ici na kupanje... sledece nedelje, nadam se. :)

Jako bih volela bih da zivim pored mora...Ostrvo u Grckoj bi bilo savrseno, obozavam Grcku. :)

Da li vi imate neke planove za leto? Planirate li da putujete negde?

Hello! 

I hope everyone had a nice weekend! :) I worked a little, read, baked, biked... I  would have loved to go swimming, though... but I hope to go next week. :) 

I wish I lived by the sea... An island in Greece would be perfect, I love Greece. :)
Do you have any plans for the summer?  Will you be travelling anywhere?

Volite li da jedete dudove? Nalazite li da su preslatki? Ili mozda jednostavno ne volite njihov ukus?

Do you like to eat mulberries? Do you find them too sweet? Or maybe you just don't like the taste? 

 

Ja volim da jedem dudove, mi imamo jedan dud u basti, prilicno star i relativno veliki i nazalost, veliki broj dudova zavrsava na zemlji, jer je prosto nemoguce pojesti ih sve. Zato sam ja odlucila da potrazim neki lep recept, da iskoristim neke od dudova za kolac, mafine, hleb ili slicno. Posto sam procitala nekoliko recepata, a jesam nasla par zanimljivih, odlucila sam da napravim mafine i to po sopstvenom receptu. Pa sam mislila da bih mogla da ga podelim sa vama, ako vam se ucini dovoljno izazovnim da mu pruzite priliku. :)

I do like to eat mulberries and we have one mulberry tree in the garden, it's pretty old and relatively big and, unfortuantelly, many a mulberry ends up on the groud, as it's impossible to eat all. That's why I decided to look for a nice recipe to use some of them for a cake, muffins, a bread or so. After reading a few recipes, and I did find a couple of interesting ones, I decided to make muffins and to follow my own recipe. So, I thought I would share it with you, if you find it tempting enough to give it a go.:)

Mafini sa dudovima i jabukom

1 jaje

5 kasika secera

5 kasika mleka

3 kasike ulja

1 jogurt

1 pakovanje vanilin secera

1 kasicica praska za pecivo

prstohvat soli

15 kasika brasna

1/2 kasicice cimeta

1 jabuka

1 limun

secer u prahu

100 g dudova (ociscenih)

Dobro umutiti jaje i secer. Dodati mleko, ulje i jogurt. Zatim dodati vanilin secer, prasak za pecivo, sodu bikarbonu i prstohvat soli. Dodati brasno i cimet i sve lepo sjediniti.

Oljustiti i izrendati jednu jabuku i dodati je u smesu zajedno sa jednom kasikom limunovog soka. Na kraju dodati ociscene dudove, umesati ih samo kasikom.

Zagrejati rernu na 200 C. Podmazati kalup za mafine, rasporediti smesu u njih i peci oko 30 minuta na 200C. Na svaki ispecen mafin staviti nekoliko kapi limunovog soka, a zatim posuti prah secer.

Dobije se 12 vecih mafina.

Hvala vam sto ste svratili danas i zelim vam prijatnu nedelju!

My first House Mouse card :)

Hello!

I've always loved those cute House Mouse images, and it's been awhile since I decided to get a few of the stamps, but it was only recently, sometime in July, when I was actually able to buy some of them. As soon as I saw that House Mouse sets were available at Bunny Zoes Crafts I ordered one. Here is a card I made with one of the images from the set.



The image is from the House Mouse set - "Fireplace". The paper is Heidi Grace, the flowers are Petallo. The sentiment is Queen Kat Designs, while the lace, ribbon and the rope are from stash.



The image was coloured with watercolour pencils.

I'm entering the House Mouse & Friends challenge which have a special sketch and blog hop (2years anniversary of the challenge blog)

And another little update about the Whimsy Stamps Store, the good news is - the store is going to be restored, it will take only several days, so just a little patience. Here is an update from Denise! :)

Good Morning,


As many of you know, the Whimsy Stamps Online Store has been offline for the past few days, as we have been upgrading our hosting server to support all of our great customers, and the increased demand we have been experiencing over the past few months. Please accept our sincerest apology for any inconvenience this has caused you. We greatly appreciate your patience and support.


Our tech support team has been feverishly working to make the transition, but an issue that occurred with our store during the transition has forced us to do a full restore of our database. The good news is they will be able to get us back online - the bad news is it may take as many as 7 to 10 days to do so. Again, we apologize for the inconvenience and promise that while we may not be online, we are still working to serve our customers.


All orders placed before the server switch have been shipped and/or are pending shipment. We are waiting on custom orders which should be here on Friday, September 17th. Those orders will be shipped immediately. If you have ordered digital stamp products and you did not have access to retrieve those files, please email us at whimsystamps@gmail.com and we will promptly send you the files via email.


Lastly, if anyone would like to place an order while we are offline, you can email us at whimsystamps@gmail.com and we will send you an invoice through PayPal and process your order as soon as possible. Digital stamp orders can be filled via email and I can ship out rubber stamp products. If you are willing to email orders, we are more than willing to provide you with the best customer service possible to get you what you need.


We do have many exciting events and promotions planned for the coming weeks at Whimsy and we are determined to not let those plans be affected by this…let's just call it… a mess! We will continue to bring our customers new digital and rubber stamps and we will be back better than ever! Please hang in there with us, check for updates on Facebook and our Whimsy Inspirations Blog. We will post any new updates as soon as they are available.


Thank you sincerely for your continued support and patronage.


Thank you for stopping by and have a lovely evening! :)

Two DT cards..for Whimsy Stamps and CCT

Hi everyone!
This is another sheduled post.. I hope this one gets published, too. :)

My first DT card is for Whimsy Stamps. I used one of the stamps from the August Whimsy Stamps digital release. This beautiful stamp is called Rose Butterfly, designed by Crissy Armstrong and I used one of the sentiments from the Inspiratinal Sentiments set designed by Raindrop Echo Designs. The papers are K&Co - Sparkly Sweet. The lace and the ribbon come from a local craft shop.





I coloured the image with watercolour pencils and added some sparkle with sekura gelly roll pen and a glitter glue. Distressed with distress ink pad.



And this is the sentiment I used.

------------------------------------------

I used a tree stamp and a corner stamp from the Queen Kat Designs. The sentiment stamp is from the Whiff of Joy. The paper is MME and the lace and the ribbon are from stash.

I thought I saw a fish...

Hello!

I was supposed to post this earlier tonight, but we had a sort of thunderstorm here and I didn't want to use my computer. Anyway, I made this card for my nephew, he's talking about the sea constantly these days and I can totally see him in this adorable image. I loved this Belles'n Whistles stamp from the moment I saw it, just because it reminds me of my nephew so much. I'm entering the following challenges with this card:
Belles 'n Whistles challenge - which is to use the colour red on our cards.
Stamp with Stampavie and more - the theme is "Sparkling"
Timbroscrapmania challenge - the theme is "Summer"



The adorable stamp is Belles 'n Whistles -"Goggles". I used one of my new sentiment stamps, from "All Women" set from C.C Designs, I really love it. The papers are download, but I don't remember which ones, anymore. I used two more stamps, a fish stamp and a flower stamp from Queen Kat Designs. I added some glitter glues on the fish and in the center of the flowers. The "Sun" and the rope are from stash.



The image, as usual, was coloured with watercolour pencils.

And now, a couple of reminders!!
The Whimsy Stamps new digital realease Blog Hop takes place tomorrow, today actually as it's July 1st already, on the Whimsy Stamps Inspiration Blog at Noon EST, which is 5pm GMT and 6pm CET (my time, check the clock in my sidebar). I hope you'll join us, with chances to win, too. You'll be able to see the gorgeous images that are going to be released tomorrow and all the stunning creations that the DT has created!

I would also like to invite you to stop by the Ellephantastic Cards & Crafts Challenge Blog on Saturday, July 3rd, where the first ever Ellephantastic challenge will be posted. I'm sure you're going to love it and there is going to be a prize for one lucky participant, too. Helen's new shop opens that day!

A Special Wish For You

Good evening!

I made a little card today, using a Belles 'n Whistles stamp and I'm entering the following challenges with it:
Belles 'n Whistles challenge which is a colour combo - white, pink and brown.
A Spoon Full of Sugar with the theme - "Good Luck/Best Wishes".
Craft-alnica with the theme - "Flowers"



The stamp is called "Wishes", and it's from the Belles 'n Whistles - "Spring/Clean/Summer release". I already used it once, but it's so beautiful that I just had to use it again and plus the last time I coloured it I used distress ink and I really wanted to colour it with watercolour pencils, too. This is a very small card, so I only used one little piece of paper, which is K&Co-Clasic K McKenna. I used a border punch and some flowers which have been stamped with a stamp from the Queen Kat Designs. I used a sentiment stamp from the Whiff of Joy - Sheherazade stamp kit. The lace and the ribbon are from stash.



Like I said, the image has been coloured with watercolour pencils, I really enjoy colouring stamped images. I also added some glitter glues on the flowers (pink, green and yellow).

Thank you for stopping by and have a lovely evening! :)

Make A Wish

Good evening!

I finally made a card using some of my new stash and I'm entering the following challenges:
A Spoon Full of Sugar - the challenge is called "Happy Birthday".
Craft-alnica challenge has a very lovely photo as an inspiration. While making my card, I had the yellow rose from the photo in my mind and even the lamp (although the lamp in the stamp is different) and the book (the story about the Aladine's lamp is from a book). Also, the photo makes me think of something old, the days long gone by and so does my card.
the ABC challenge is at the letter "S" - "Sparkle"
Whiff of Joy challenge, I followed the sketch
Secret Crafter Saturday challenge has the theme - "Distressing".



I used some of my new Whiff of Joy stamps for this card. Both the cute genie and the sentiment are part of the April stamp kit - 1001 Nights. The papers are My Minds Eye - "Bloom and Grow" and they came, just like the flowers and the brads from the Secret Crafter shop. I also used my distress ink "Vintage Photo" here, for the first time. You can probably notice, that it was used for the first time... I guess like with everything else, it takes some time and practice. The corner stamp is Queen Kat Designs.



I coloured the image with watercolour pencils and added glitter on the lamp. I received some very pretty glitter glues from my nephew and sister. :)



This is the sketch at the Whiff of Joy:


Thank you for stopping by and have a lovely evening! :)

PS.If you'd like to win some very pretty stamped images, just check out this post! :)

Dusting is fun :)

Roses on Paper/Belles'n Whistles challenge is -"Layers".
Papertake Weekly challenge - I followed the sketch
Stamp Something challenge - has the theme - "Stitch somethings"
Timbroscrapmania the challenge is "Distressing"

The stamp is "Belle Dusting", from the Belles'n Whistles, Spring/Clean/Summer collection. Isn't she adorable!? The sentiment stamp is Stampendous, the papers are K&Co - "Sparkly Sweet". The flower stamps are Queen Kat Designs and SU. The lace and the ribbon are from stash.



The image has been coloured with watercolour pencils.



This is the sketch at the Papertake Weekly:

My first easel card :)

Hello!

Have you seen the challenge that has been posted on the SCS forum in the Sugar Nellie section?

It is to make an Easel card and there is a Sugar Nellie goody bag to be won by one lucky participant! Awesome, right!?

I've been meaning to make an easel card for quite a while now, so this was like a perfect opportunity. I also wanted to try something a bit different with the stamp I used.



I used my A Little Birdie Told Me stamp from the Gorjuss Girls range at Sugar Nellie and wanted to make a little house for the Gorjuss and her bird.



The papers are K&Co, Sparkly Sweet. The sentiment is Whiff of Joy , the flower stamp is Queen Kat Designs and the orange lace and the ribbon are from stash.



The image was coloured with watercolour pencils (for the first time), much easier for colouring then the regular watercolours, though it is a difference, but I'm slowly geting used to it. :)



Thank you for stopping by and don't forget to enter the Sugar Nellie challenge at the Split Coast Stampers. :)

My first Motivet card, a missed challenge and some entries

Zdravo svima!
Evo jedne cestitke koju sam napravila jos u cetvrtak uvece, koristeci "free digital image" sa Motivet bloga. Pratila sam njihov sketch, ali sam svoju cestitku nazalost napravila kasno, jer je vec u petak postavljen novi "challenge" na tom blogu.
Ipak, resila sam da postavim cestitku na svoj blog, posto se uklapa u teme nekih drugih "challenge" -a:

Hello everyone!
Here is a card I made on Thursday night, using a "free digital image" from Motivet's blog. I followed their sketch, but unfortunately I made my card too late, as the new challenge was already posted on the blog on Friday. However, I decided to post my card on my blog, since it fits the themes of some other challenges:

A Spoon Full of Sugar challenge is called - "Spring is in the Air"
Dutch Dare challenge is to make a Valentine's Day card .
Stamp Something challenge, has the theme - "Touch of Spring somethings"



Kao sto rekoh, "image" je Motivet. Koristila sam jos i Whiff of Joy pecat, cvetovi su takodje dva pecata: "Queen Kat Designs" i "SU". Plavi cvet je Poppicrafts . Koristila sam takodje i jedan busac, a papir i traka su sa moje tzv."craft gomile".

As I've said, the image is Motivet. I also used a Whiff of Joy stamp, the flowers are stamps, too: "Queen Kat Designs" and "SU". The blue flower is Poppicrafts . I also used a ounch, and the papers and the ribbon are from stash.




Bojeno vodenim bojama.

Coloured with watercoloures.
