Paper Players, CAS Colours and Sketches and a reason to celebrate!

The exciting news are - I now have 
100
followers! Now that is a reason to celebrate! I am so happy - I really wanted to achieve this before my 1 year blog anniversary - thank you all 100 of you, to make this happen!!!
That is such a big number - at least for me....

Lets welcome my new members

You probably all know Diane fro the Pixie's Crafty workshop - she runs the Snippets challenge - I have been playing there lately - its fabulous - only one rule there :)

Riliska and Larisa are from Russia and new to me, but I have been checking out their blogs and there are wonderful inspirations to find! 

And here I have a welcome picture for you:


It is by Jackie Ferrara and you can admire that in the New York City subway. I choose it for all the bloggers out there - everybody is different, but all together we create this wonderful world of creativity, inspiration and mutual support.

By the way - I am not sure, if my sticky post works, but I do have a give away for my blog anniversary - if you have not seen it and if you are interested, click HERE. There are some rules to follow and hardly anybody did, so if you want to win one of the stamp sets I am giving away your chances are great so far!

And now, finally back to card making.... 
I had to play in the Paper Players challenge - as soon as I saw this picture I knew what stamp to use - such a perfect opportunity...



Tada! Here is my card




I combined it with the sketch challenge from CAS Colours and Sketches. The sentiment stamps are from Penny Black Party Time and Wonderful and the rest is Stampsmith stamps and Memory Box. 




And lastly I wanted to share a card with you, that my friend Susanne sent me for my blog anniversary: - 


How sweet! It is so much fun, getting real mail and this was so unexpected and such a lovely surprise! Thank you Susanne, I still have a big smile on my face because of you :)

Congratulations on getting 100 followers in one year! Another fun card you made!
I am glad you got the card. I am always nervous when I mail cards with thicker embellishments and this was the first time I mailed one with a wooden shape.

Easter Egg and Bunny

Hi Everyone, I made a bunch of Easter cards, after all its little more than one month and I need to send them out in time... You see, they are all similar - using both the die cut and the negative, that I cut from a die cut egg. The cute bunnies got their yearly appearance - they are from Impression Obsession. the egg is by Lifestyle Crafts. The sentiment is by Papertrey. And here are bigger photos from this set: Linking up with Creative with Stamps - Easter The Paper Players - die cutting Die Cut Divas - animals Happy Little Stampers - anything goes with dies

Dynamic Duos combined with CAS Colours and Sketches

I am getting the hang of combining challenges....not sure if that's good or bad... In the past I would just put all my "creative energy" into one challenge and then just link up with others, if the card just happened to fit...but now I do that on purpose. Well, I'll see how it goes....                           Anyhow here is the card that came out of this: I did not want to add a sentiment - I 'll add it later, when I know who will get it. And here is a close -up: Challenges: Dynamic Duos CAS Colours and Sketches Addicted to Stamps and More Amusing Challenges Materials: Papertrey Background Basics: Super Stripes, Memory Box Chloe Stem die. --X-- Card for Maddy: You may know already about  Maddy ,  who  was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and went through chemotherapy treatment followed by a stem cell transplant from her (then) fifteen year old sister Melanie.  She now has a relapse and this car
