Autumn Vacation

Last week we had Autumn vacation here in the Netherlands. That means a week off, a visit of the forrest in the middle of the country, and a pancake afterwards. Thats a tradition in our family, and I think in more family's.
I like to share some lovely things we saw around "Het Doornse Gat", a beautiful area for a long walk.















And finally I like to share a card I made especially for a challenge at "Die Cut Diva's." Arlene invited me already several times to insert one of my cards to their challenge, so I thought now was the time to make a card just only for their challenge of this month: "Animal and Autumn".

Honorable mention

Again I got an Honorable mention at CAS-ology Blog. I am very very happy with it! The challenge was to make a card with a pumpkin on it.
Here is my card.


The items on this card are cut with my Cricut machine. I always love to play with it! Gave it a little bit of shading with Copic markers. And the sentiment is Hero Arts.

Crisp

Last week I came to know that this weeks challenge at CAS-ology blog is to make a card with the word "Crisp" in your thoughts.
At first I only could think of fresh and cool air, just as you can feel in Autumn.
But than I got the idea of asking my family. My daughter thought of snow, and my son thought of crispy chips :)
Finally I went to a dictionary, because I am dutch, and wanted to get a good understanding of the word "Crisp" ! And there I got a whole new understanding of this word! First the dutch word and than the word again in english, wich is so much fun!
Crisp can be:
1. Kroes=woolly, fuzzy ,curlly, mug, cub.
    Gerimpeld=wrinkly, crinkly, rippling, ruffling
2. Bros,Knapperig=crisp, brittle(glas) friable(steen)
3. Knerpend, knisterend= snow, crunch, creack
4. Fris,opwekkend= fresh, cool,air, exiting, stimulating
5. Scherp=sharp- knife,features,tongue,photo,outline
6. Energiek,levendig,krachtig,pittig=
    energetic,dynamic,lively,vivid,strong,crisp.

So, you can say, I learned a lot! And when you read this, you got a lesson too! Once a teacher, always a teacher :)
And now my card!


I stayed with my first impression: cool, fresh air,a clear sky with a bright moon.
The design is not my own. I saw such before on internet.Tthe stamps I used are all Hero Arts.

Fall colors

How I love fall colors! The shades of green, yellow and orange are THE best for my eyes! And than the light. It is different, warmer definately!
In our garden we have a tree with red berries. Beautiful! And birds love to eat these berries. They get "drunk" of it, my husband sayed :)



Because I love all whats autumn, I also love the challenge over at CAS-ual Fridays: CFC115 "Fall colors & a leaf".
And with the birds and the berries in my mind I made this card.



Hope you like it!

You're in my thoughts

Today a card with a bit of a grey sky, as we see today. I don't use grey so often, but this card proves it can work. And it even isn't that sombre. The red and craft gives it just that little bit of fressness wich makes it fun to see.


I really love this sailing boat! I used it already more often, and it makes me happy, every time I make a card with it.
It is cut out with my Cricut machine with the "Life is a Beach" cartridge.
The clouds are stamped with a Hero Arts Stamp and so are the stripes on the waves and the sentiment.
