TH August tag: Together Forever

 

So many things to do,

that I forgot all about my Tim Holtz tag.

Here is my version of the August 2012 tag.

You can see Tims instructions on his blog here:

http://timholtz.com/12-tags-of-2012-august/

As I do not have all the right tools,

I just tried to give my tag a same kind

of impression.

The border is a Tim Holtz stamp,

but the silhouette stamps are

by Club Scrap (Generations kit)

 The frame and the silhouettes

have been embossed with black embossing powder,

 For the flowers I have used the sizzix sizzlet flower die

by Tim Holtz and added a pearl brad in the heart of the flowers.

On the top of the tag, there is a heart and a key and

a small pearl as an embellishment.

Must confess, that I think this tag came out

very satisfactory. Hope you like it too.

Your comment is much appriceated.

Have a creative day!

Back to School

 Every week I make another page for the Weekly

Chronicles at Club Scrap.

This week the theme is: Back to School.

As I have no kids going back to school,

and my sweet grandson is too small even to go,

I came up with some school memories.

 

These pictures were taken on a reunion

of my primary school.

It was so much fun to see my old school mates again.

I still am friends with one of them

over all these years.

Papers are of course all Club Scrap

(Wild Flower kit) and the  letter stamps

are the Punch & Spell Alphabet and Numbers 

by Michael Strong.

The fun subway art you see on my page, 

I googled and found here:

Have a creative day!

Happy Birthday, Raymond!

As today it is my husbands birthday,

I cannot pass this day without making a card.

 So lucky that a moustache is so in fashion

(he has one as long as I know him)

that i ordered the Mr. Maverick embossing folder

to make him a card. The sentiment is

printed with the computer and

the paper is from Kaisercraft (Sears&Son).

 Of course the inside had to be nice too!

Mazeltov

So  I even found a font with a mustache.

It is called Sanchez Mustache en you find a free

download at www.dafont.com

The keep calm image I found on

internet while googling for mustache ideas.

This is going to be a wonderful day!

Have

 a creative 

day!

Support

One can't make enough of these

pink ribbon cards.

Important to test oneself and

important to thank all those

who support the cause.

Be always aware it can

happen to anyone.

Here is a card I made with

background paper and

image from

Create with TLC

The paper and the image are so great together.

The background paper is printed with the computer

and the border is colored with Victorian Velvet

disdress ink. Of course there is a pink ribbon around the card.

The image is colored with pencils for the woman and

around the image I used different colors of

distress ink that blend in  with the background paper.

The flowers are from Tim Holtz ideaology line. They

are white, but here colores with spun sugar distress stain

and fastened with a pearl brad.

Also I want to make you aware 

of the wonderful Clubs Paulette

is doing for special ocsasions

and if you like using digital images

it is a great change to stock up and try it out.

 

I want to tell you how much

fun these Clubs are and you get so much digital stamps

for only $ 8.50 you can not believe it!

Your mail box will overflow with

wonderful images and sentiments.

You can check it all out

Thank you and

 have a creative day!

Coffee again?!

Hello Stampers,

What does one do without coffee?

I am going to have a cup just now.

Hope you do too, so we can say: cheers!

So let's see what I came up with this time.

I noticed a lot of cards with a text that started with

keep calm, so while searching through the

internet I found this:

 

Right away I had a fun idea and

came up with this card:

I replaced the white cup wit Michael Strongs

mini coffee cup embossed in gold

Paper and background stamps are by Club Scrap.

This is a real easy card to make, I would say

it took me 10 minutes.

Here a close up.

If you click on the photo you can see an

even larger version.

For the second card I typed the text

in word and printed it out with the computer.

I used the same stamps.

 

Hope you all are inspired to have some fun coffee cards

and have a great weekend!

and now........

for the winner of the 

Michael Strong Summer Blog Hop:

 Have a creative day!

Is it summer yet?!

 

It seems the sun finally founds its way to The Netherlands for a few days.

So how about going to the beach?

I used a Create with TLC sentiment

and mini cloisonné shell and sea star

by Michael Strong for this card.

The background is embossed with the

sun ray embossing folder.

Here a close up of the bottom border.

You sea I have embossed the stampes with silver

and dessert rain embossing powder.

i added some pearls and gemstones to make it 

a little glittery.

The sentiment is printed with the computer and

cut out with a spellbinder die. Around I added some 

yellow and brown distress ink.

 

So I hope you have a great summer too

and a creative day!

Hockey

The Dutch Hockey players are doing

super at the Olympic Games in Lonon

The men's and the women's team are playing the finals.

The women play on today  against 

Argentina for gold.

So as to cheer them on I made a card.

The men play on Saturday against

Germany for the gold medal

and of course we go for

G* O*L*D

 For this card I googled a hockey picture

and I thought this was a fun one with only the legs and the 

sticks to see. I add the picture here so you can use it too.

The sentiment is a digital one from

Create with TLC

And the pennants I cut with my pennant punch

from Stampin'Up!.

Please keep your fingers crossed.

Have a creative day!
