Back again!

Long time no see... again. What have I been doing all this time? Making as many Christmas/New Year/ Happy Holidays cards as possible ofcourse. I've tried to make one for all my friends, collegues and familymembers and ofcourse I've failed gloriously :D

Still, I want to show some projects of mine. My new approach this year was: try to make as many cards as possible, but without spending a day at a single card. This is the first idea I had, calld "Twincards". What I did was cut out a circle in one card and use that one as a christmassball.

Happy B-day Evi!

Past saturday we celebrated my scrapbuddy's birthday. Ofcourse I obliged myself to make the prettiest card ever!

Two weeks ago we went to a big hobby event. As always I was completely broke when I returned home. Again there was too much njummie stuff lying around... *Sigh*

So, as Evi's birthday approached, I decided to use all my new goodies :D Which payed of very well as I say so myself. I used 3 brandnew goodies: my first (and definitely not last) Martha Steward-punch, silver Stickles and a new stamp. This combined with 3 flowersets, makes this card also perfect for the "3 of a kind" challenge @ Papertake weekly . Hop over to take a look.

Happy New Kitchen!

Friends of my parents recently bought a new kitchen. Of course it had to be tested properly by throwing a party :D So, I made this card to celebrate the new addition to the house.

I had this "difficult" paper lying around. Many colours, not sure where to fit it in. Specially with the drawed lines on it. But hey, I always knew there was going to be a moment when I would be thankfull to have that paper lying in my (overloaded) box. I simply wrote a recipe on it to decorate it some more.

As far as I heard the day after, the food was very nice and so was my card according to the hosts :D Mision Accomplished!

Look what I found!

I have found a lost project of mine from a month ago. Apparently I didn't post it yet, so here it comes.

I admit, I'm terrible at remembering birthdays, which occasionally puts me into embarrassing situations. I also have the urge to be original in my presents, especially with good friends. I always come up with good ideas, but most of the time the working-out-part fails.

So picture this: a friend of mine celebrates her birthday in April, my present got totally screwed up before that time and I didn't get to give her another present until August! Ladies and gentleman, this means one of my best friends had to wait 5 months (!!!!) to get a proper

birthdaypresent. So embarrassing, since I remembered every week forgetting it. Thank you Sofie, forgiving me every week again :D

The present below was one of a few I included. I wanted her to give a dvd, but I thought I needed to wrap it up a little (oh yeah) originally...

You see: front, back and inside.

A little pick-me-up

This card I made for one of my best friends who needed a pick-me-up. I got the idea from (surprise!) Evi, who recently made a similar card for me. Sorry dear for stealing your inspiration :D For a change I also decorated the inside of the card, whith some leftovers. Again poor quality, thanks to my still-not-working camera...

I can also tell you, I have spent a whole afternoon sorting out my papers... A hell of a job, I can tell you! I sorted unused papers by colour into big envelopes and I did the same with my usable left-overs (which I put in a map). Yeah, I know, being crazy doesn't hurt luckily... :D

B-day!

This is the other birthdaycard I promised to post. The stamp I got from my scrapbuddie Evi, who's from now on my jazzdancebuddie too :D

Again it's a picture taken with my cellphone...
