Made this one....


....yesterday. There was a sketch challenge at a forum and I had these pics laying around for some time now...I decided to use those to make this spread. It's clean and simple yet colorful. xxx Wendy.
I used American Crafts paper and some letterstickers and deepblue rub-ons.

I wish....


....we could have real winters in Holland again...I just love the snow but unfortunately it never seems to last more than a day or two. So whenever the snow has fallen, I immediately go outside with my camera and take as many pictures as I can...This time I took a picture of this cute little boy my mom gave me for our anniversary a few years ago. I don't like statues in my garden, but I melted when I saw this one...Isn't he adorable?
Wish you all well and thanks for stopping by, xxx Wendy.

I promissed....

.......to show you the weddingcard I made for the friends that got married a week ago on friday. I used cardstock which I ran through the BigShot with the cuttlebug Swirl embossing folder, a fiber and some beads.
The happy couple went to Egypt and I didn't have a chance to find out if they liked the card yet.
Have a nice weekend, xxx Wendy.

Another card and a basket with apples....

This week is a real busy one, I know four kids who will be getting their swimmingdiploma's this week. One boy and four girls....as far as I know now....
I made this cute card for a girl (ofcourse...) with a Magnolia stamp and different colors of cardstock. At the bottom a fiber and a chipboard "A".
I bought this cute little basket a few weeks ago at the second hand store and filled it with fake apples. My father in law got a fruitbasket in the hospital and it contained these lovely, fabric flowers. He gave them to me and I put them with the apples in this basket...doesn't it look romantic? I love pics like these...
See you next time, xxx Wendy.

Sugar Nellie card and Magnolia tags



My youngest son got a few cards from a few little girls that are in his class at school. We thought it was so sweet of them, we decided to make them a cute doorhanger...He colored the prints and I finished the job....This morning he handed them out and the girls really liked them....He immediatly got another card, so this afternoon we will make one more, hehe....
My brothers son will finish his swimminglessons next saturday and will receive his B-diploma. For him I made this real awesome pirates card. The stamp is from Sugar Nellie and when you look at their store, you will find a lot of other real cute stamps....Check out their site here . You can only order the Sugar Nellie stamps from abroad....Their service is real great so it is safe to order there.....
Materials used for the Sugar Nellie card: rouge de garance desingpapers, a clock cut out from Imagination project, black letterstickers from provocraft, cottonfiber, and the B is from a box of letters bought at Action....

Magnolia card

I made this Magnolia card for someone who gave me a real cool present and didn't want anything in return. I could persuade her to send her a home made card....so this is what I made for her....

We've been real busy lately. My father in law broke his foot about a month ago, but because he is a diabetic, his wound didn't heal and he got infected with a bacteria that didn't go away...so the doctors had to amputate his foot....He was supposed to go home over a week ago, but the infection came back and now they will probably have to amputate above the knee....which is bad, because it makes recovering so much more difficult....We still hope for the best. Tomorrow he will hear if his knee can be saved, so it is still an uncertain time for him. My husband visits him everyday and the children and I go with him as much as we can...We hope things wil turn for the best real soon...
Sorry for this sad story....hope you still can enjoy the rest of this weekend, xxx Wendy.

Another lo

I gave you a sneak peak of a two color lo a few day ago, the one I entered to a contest. Unfortunately I didn't win (again...) so now I can show you the total lo.

I used red paint, buttons shaped like a heart, red buttons which I doodled with a white Poscapen, flowers, white brads, ribbons and I used embroidery wire for the white doodles below and the x-es on the heart at the top of the lo...The white letters are felt stickers...

Finally I can show you....



Finally I am able to show you the total lo of the sneak peak I showed you a few days ago...
It was a swap made for Miranda with a picture of her daughter Isabelle. I couldn't wait to get started to scrap this picture, it was such a sweet one....Yesterday I received the swap she made me with a picture that shows me and my little niece on a white bear...I really loved what she did with it...so thanks again Miranda!
Materials I've used: buttons, paper- and velvet flowers, ribbon, staples, little girls earrings which I torned apart and a black fineliner which I used to doodle away...

Boy card


Wilma's son Wout was swimming for his A-diploma and made it, so I made him this little boys card. Wilma said he really liked it, so I can show you now....Wout, again congrats on your diploma....xxx Wendy.

YAAAAHHHOOOOOO.....


I finally received the Magnolia stamp Tingla I won in October. They also put something extra in, don't you just love these stamps?
I'm entering a contest at ScrappenDoeJeZo . The assignment is to scrap with only two colors...I found it hard to get started, but when I did, I was on a roll....I can't show you the total lo yet, so, I will have to leave with a sneak peak. I can tell you the colors I've used, hehehe...red and white.... I will keep you updated as soon as the winner is known...Have a nice day, see you soon...xxx Wendy.

Freestyle




This freestyle spread was made to enter a contest at Scrapdomain...Unfortunately I didn't make it, but they put my spread and a lo at their website....Still have a lot of scrappin' to do, so...have a nice sunday.xxx Wendy.
PS If you want to take a closer look, you can check this spread out here...

Bingo!


Last saturday we had a forummembermeeting at Scrappen Doe Je Zo and ofcourse I bought some wonderful papers. You can see it at the top picture. I also bought about 52 cardstock papers....The designpapers and the can on the bottom picture was a bingo prize Bep gave to me. Katinka made us pass our bingo tickets over a few times to the person next to us and as it happens my ticket had two prizes fallen on it...So Bep felt sorry for me and gave me the prize she has won. Is'nt that sweet!!! To thank her, I made her this cute Magnolia card. She has already received the card, so now it is safe for me to show it here.
Wish you a very nice weekend and till next time...xxx Wendy.
