Me again.....

here is the post of my other ISC cards I was telling you all about yesterday. For this card I chose some more masculine colors, well, according to my hubby they are not masculine, but if it is not blue it is not masculine to him ;D.




Happy Valentines Day

Recipe:

Paper: PTI True Black, SU Riding Hood Red, PTI White

Stamps: With all my Love ISC

Ink: VersaFine Onyx Black

Accessories: Nesties Scalloped Hearts, Marvy Uchida small scalloped heart punch, Recollections silver half pearls, Darice red crystal heart, Nesties Petite Ovals Large

This is a pretty simple card....but simple sometimes does the trick. What do you think?

How about another card? This one is so not your typical Valentine colors...I actually used some of the new digi paper it is called Distressed Warmth and perfect for a man color ;D

Check out my card

# 1 In My Life

Recipe:

Paper: PTI KRaft, ISC digi paper Distressed Warmth

Stamps: I {heart) for You ISC

Ink: Palette Moulin Rouge

Accessories: Cuttlebug embossing folder heart blocks, med. corner rounder, Making Memories pewter brads and photo turn, Fiskars paper crimper ( I had to dust that thing off ;D)

Well, this is it...another totally SIMPLE card. I kind of like how the green and red compliment each other. The green is IRL really not that bright ;D.

Oh, a little enabling.....these newly released sets are on sale right now....go check it out!!! All you have to do is click in the name of the stamps I used and it will take you straight to the ISC website.

All right now.....two posts in one day...wheew.... I hope I did not bore you.

Thanks again for stopping by and making my day.

Hugs,

Hello on this sunny Wednesday afternoon....

my wonderful blogging friends. I have a card for you all that I made for the Mojo Monday #120 challenge. Goodness, I am so far behind with everything, but I promised myself that I will try harder this year to at least participate in some challenges. For this card I used one of the new releases from Our Daily Bread Designs which is called Confirmation. If you have a look at the set itself you will find that you can use it for many more occasions than just Confirmation. See I am German and in Germany, if you are Protestant you go through Confirmation. It was pretty cool as you have to go through 2 years of studying once a week (that's how it was for us where I grew up ;D) so when you graduated from Confirmation class you had a test in front of the entire church and a side effect of it was that you where showered with gifts. :D:D that was the cool part about for me, hehe!!! So,.in Germany we need this stamp set badly :D, but even here I understand some religions have a Confirmation. We are Pentecostal and go to a Church of God in Christ, so we don't have it. But back to my card........I followed this sketch and I used one of my all time favorite Basic Grey paper pads called "Porcelain" Most of the papers are really feminine and go so well together.



Have a look


Recipe:


Paper: PTI Rustic Cream, Basic Grey Porcelain, SU Apricot Appeal

Ink: Palette ink Moulin Rouge, Chalk Ink Bisque

Stamp: Confirmation from ODBD, Romans 5:5

Accessories: Nesties Classic Scallop Circles Large, Prima flower, golden bead end caps, red seed beads, natural colored crochet lace from WalMart, apricot colored satin ribbon (my Mom sent it to me from Germany :D), foam tape and 3D foam dots

What do you think? If you care to find out more about the Mojo challenge head on over here..these girls come up with some awesome sketches

This here is this weeks challenge sketch

Well, this is it for me for right now. Thanks so much for stopping by today, it truly means a lot to me.

Hugs,

Good Sunday afternoon...

to all of my blogging friends out there. I just have a quick post for you all today to let you all know that from now on all comments have to be approved before they are posted!!! I am very sorry I have to take this step, but someone has been posting unappropriate comments with links to very nasty websites (to say the least!!!)

So, please understand that I had to take this measure to make sure that non of this unclean stuff gets posted here. After all, I am posting paper crafting projects and ideas and not that stuff.

Thanks for understanding.

Hugs,
