Peek-a-Booh

This is my last card for today as it is getting late and I need to go to bed soon.

Dies ist meine letzte Karte für heute, da es spät wird und ich so langsam ins Bett muss.

Today I will be taking part at Karen's Doodles Netherlands Challenge for the first time. There theme had been black & white + one more colour. I decided to use the "Peek-a-booh" girl...

Heute werde ich zum ersten Mal bei Karen's Doodles Netherlands Challenge teilnehmen. Deren Thema war schwarz & weiß + eine andere Farbe. Ich habe mich entschieden das "Peek-a-booh" Mädchen zu nehmen.

Soccer Boy

This is the second I've made today...

Dies ist die zweite Karte die ich heute gemacht habe...

Karen's Doodles and Craft your Passion both had the theme male/masculine card. As I wanted to use the digi Summertime Soccer Boy from Karen's Doodles since I got him, this had been the right theme. I printed the ball several times to make that border.
Karen's Doodles und Craft your Passion hatten beide das Thema männliche Karte. Da ich den Digi "Summertime Soccer Boy" von Karen's Doodles seit ich ihn habe, war dies genau das richtige Thema. Ich habe den Ball mehrmals ausgedruckt um diese "Zierleiste" zu machen.

Heute hatte ich einen Bastel-Sonntag... I habe schon 2 Karten gemacht und vielleicht werde ich noch eine dritte fertig stellen.

First I made a card with a Popcorn the Bear Stamp. I've used him for the first time and I love him! He's sooo cute... I also let my image stick out of the frame for the first time.

When I first read that theme at the Sweet Stampin Challenge I thought about my time as an Au Pair in the USA. Memorial Day or Independence Day had been days of red, white and blue... I also remembered Alia, the little girl I've been taking care of, in her cute little red & white dress for Memorial Day. I miss her and her brother Casey soo much!

Als ich das Thema der Sweet Stampin Challenge zuerst gehört habe, habe ich sofort an meine Zeit als Au Pair in den USA denken müssen. Der Memorial Day und der Independence Day sind Tage in rot, weiß und blau... Außerdem mußte ich sofort an Alia denken, das kleine Mädchen auf das ich aufgepaßt habe, in ihrem süßten rot-weißen Kleidchen am Memorial Day. Ich vermisse sie und ihren Bruder Casey soo sehr!

So I came up with this card:
Diese Karte kam dabei heraus:

winter fun...

They have a great challenge at Kartenallerei with the theme "winter card in purple". I loved that right away, so I decided to create a purple winter dream card.
And here it is...

Stamp: Magnolia
Dies: Creatables Snowflakes
Embossed Snowflakes: Sizzix
Colours: Crayons
Stickles & glitter hairspray


I loved that Magnolia image the first time I've seen it and here's my first card with it. I wanted the snowflakes to glitter/sparkle a bit, but I thought that stickles would be too much... So I used some of my glitter hair spray for carnival on them. They look great now, but I had to blow dry them... LOL

Anyways, I think the card looks amazing and I am entering it in the challenge at Kartenallerlei challenge 20 - winterkarte in lila, at stamps + fun =creativity challenge 32 glitzer / bling bling and at steckenpferdchen challenge 8 - Schneeflocken.
