Simon Say Stamp Challenge - Coffe & Cream

Today I can even show you one more card. Was I busy or what? :o) The theme at the Simon Says Stamp Challenge blog, Coffee & Cream, was so inspiring that I couldn't resist to create this card. And I tried out the paper piecing technique once again which is so fun to do.

With this card I also want to join following challenges:

Totally Gorjuss Challenge # 69 - Black and one other Colour

Hi everyone, we have a new challenge going on at Totally Gorjuss. The theme is

Black and one other colour

Well, to be honest, I really had some difficulties to make a card with just two colours. I even made two cards and ended up with having a third colour, sigh! But with such images like this Kenny K. one it is hard to colouring just two colours.  

So, I am looking forward to see what you're doing for this challenge if you like to join. It is worth as always as we have a lovely price to win. For more inspiration pop over to the DT to see their wonderful creations.

With this card I want to join following challenge:

Spring Kit Whiff of Joy & Challenge

This week I got the new Stamp Kit 'Spring' of Whiff of Joy. There are so sweet images to play with. I love Elizabeth Bell's images so much, so I will have lots of fun play with them. I started with this cute image and wanted to join the Whiff of Joy challenge as well. They are asking for the technique 'paper piecing'. I love this way to add the addition of the same paper to the image like I use in the layout. Here you can see the result:

Happy Birthday Papi

Today is my dad's birthday and so I want to light up a candle for him. We cannot celebrate with him like we usually did every year. He is gone home 27 months ago. I still miss him so much and am thinking on him every day. And on this special day as well. Papi, let yourself celebrate where you are, just the way you did when you still were here.

Goosey Gander

Hello everyone! I hope you had a good start into the new week.

Today I want to share another new card with you I just made yesterday. I felt so inspired by the new challenge over at the Sugar Bowl that I had to create something for it. There is a sketch and an inspirational photo to follow, you can see below.

Those wooden flowers and the goose are on my stack for quite a while now. I never had the right card to add them to. But when I saw this cute stamp of Sugar Nellie I knew imediately I have to have it, and my first creation I will do with it have those embellishments as an accent. And so it was.
