CHALLENGE guest designer for SCRAP WITH US

hello crafty friends!

did you know that the very talented and super sweet FIA UITERWIJK has opened a very cool and inspirational challenge site called SCRAP WITH US?

the site is packed with interesting challenges, amazing projects and crafty chats.

she invited me to be a GUEST DESIGNER for february and to play along in their design team challenge - 

 
the challenge with month is a sketch and a colour combo one.

there is a card sketch and a layout sketch, which you need to follow:

and there is also an optional colour palette that you can use for an extra entry in the random draw:

easy-peasy, right?! :-)

to create my card i used KAISERCRAFT's XO collection {available at MERLY IMPRESSIONS'  online store}. 

i used white card base, which i altered with TIM HOLTZ tea dye distress ink. the colorful background paper is from the mini PAPER PAD matching the collection.

i used also a paper doily and fussy cut the banners from pattern paper from the mini PAPER PAD. the rest of the die cut embellishments are from  the COLLECTABLES pack.

 

as well as my sentiment - 

i added a few pinkish flowers and die cut swirls and leaves {MARIANNE DESIGN dies} to finish my design.

i hope you enjoyed today's post and i can't wait to see your creations in the GALLERY!

have fun creating!

the sweetest thing {GD work for scrapdelight}

hello bloggers,

last month i was invited to be a guest designer at scrapdelight - a dutch online shop for hobby and scrapbook materials. here is another one of my projects i did for them - for their friday summer challenge:

i named it "the sweetest thing", because i just adore these two cuties and when i see Elise protecting and caring for her little brother theo, my heart melts.

i used mainly prima marketing's "celebrate! jack and jill" paper collection, chipboard and flowers. as usual i did a lot of stamping and glittering:

the AMAZING flowers are also from prima marketing - whisper collection "madeline" and e-line flowers "aqua". i used some of the FABULOUS prima sculptured flowers as well.

the cute fishes are from inkadinkado "sheet-fish & friends". i coloured them with copic ciao markers:

layers: 

• fishes - glittered sticker sheet "celebrate! jack & jill"
• liquid pearls white opal
• "be mine" paper "celebrate! jack & jill!"
• prima marketing lace
• glittered sticker broder "celebrate! jack & jill"
• "be mine" paper "celebrate! jack & jill!
• martha stewart deep edger "daisy fan"
• liquid pearls white opal

i cut one of the shells, added some stickles and used it as an embellishment:

i hope you enjoyed my post! have a wonderful SUNNY week!

hugs 'n smiles,

as i mentioned in one of my previous posts, this month i'm a guest designer for a dutch scrapbook store "scrap delight". i had the PLEASURE to work with one of the NEWEST paper collections in their shop "it's the little things" from fancy pants. 

i was asked to create an example for the friday card challenge and here is what i came up with:

scrap delight - guest designer!

hello lovely friends!

i feel very honoured that i was asked to be the july guest designer for scrapdelight - a dutch online scrapbook store with an absolutely amazing selection of scrapbook supplies!

here is what i created with their latest products -

"LITTLE BUNNY"

on the pictures - my little baby ELISE with her favourite (at the time) blue rabbit.

i had these pictures for quite some time (8 years by now;-), but i never managed to find the right papers for them. when i saw the new FANCY PANTS paper line - "it's the little things" (which you can order here) - i knew in an instant that this line will be perfect for these pictures!

i started by colouring the "pecking order" sheet, which was originally black & white, but with a little help from RV95 copic ciao i made it black & pink to suit my design better!

i used a sheet of french vanilla cardstock for the second layer, which i sprayed with GLIMMER MIST {pink taffy}. the third pink layer i cut from the "humming bird" sheet.

for the borders i used MARTHA STEWART's "floral lace" edge punch and EK SUCCESS "garden flower chain" punch and "birdcage" paper.

i cut out some of the punched flowers to create a 3D effect, i embossed them and added distressed STICKLES "tattered rose" for that extra glam they needed.

 

the paper flowers are from the same FANCY PANTS collection. for the pink swirls i used bits and pieces from ZVA CREATIVE. i couldn't put the original swirl on, because of its size - it was way to big for the little space around the flowers i have left. so, i cut it!

here are some more close ups:

i did a lot of stitching and fussy cutting on this layout, but it was all worth it :-)
i'm pretty pleased with the result!

have a lovely week!
