Clean and Simple

If you are a card maker you probably know what it means: Clean and Simple. But if not, I have to explain a little. To say it very Simple: a card with a lot of unused withe space, and a very special eye catching element on it. There have to be less layers and less embellisments on it than you useually add.

I made a card for Virginia's Challenge. The Challenge is to make a Clean and Simple card. Here is my entry for the challenge.


There are only two stamps on this card. The star stamp is by " My Minds Eye" from the Laundry Line. And the sentiment is by "Studio G".
Now, is this simple or what?!

Autumn in our little forest "Loetbos".

On this sunny Sunday, I like to show you some photo's made in our little forest with the name : " Loetbos". This forest is planted along a little river.....ehm...more like a ditch kind of river :) with the name: "Loet".
Don't ask me what that means, I don't know. I like to go there by bike, and than make a walk, and get my bike again back home. There's always something beautiful to see, and besides that: I like to be outside in the fresh air. Here is what I came across last week.


What is he seeing?


Dark clouds....will I be back home before it is starting to rain again?


And what is that little thing with orange drops? A toadstool...but what about the drops?


A little beast on a toadstool...a much more on my legs and arms..... :(





A liitle spider here....on eeh...some potatoes... :)


This is only a few precious things I saw. Hope you liked it to be here for a moment!

Paint Sample Cards

In one of my former blog posts I promised to show you more of the "Paint Sample Cards" I use for making my own cards.
Here are a few photo's of such cards.


They have delicious names.
