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.

Honoring Ombre

Today a fun card for the Moxie Fab World Challenge: "Honoring Ombre".
Here is the inspirational photo.


And here is the card I made after seeing the photo above.
I really loved the colors. And besides that: I had to think of birthdays. Now, we are in birthday celebrations these days, because my son and my daughter and my husband are celebrating their birthdays all in two weeks!
That means a whole lot of birthday cakes :)



Hope you like my card and see the connection between the inspirational photo and this card. All stamps are Hero Arts: the birthday hats, the butterfly and the Happy Birthday wish.

Just for fun

Today I like to show a birthday card I made just for fun.
It is always good to have some birthday cards on hand!
Looking around on blogs I was inspired to make a card with three flowers. Don't ask me were I saw it, but I liked the idea and gave it my own twist.


The flowers are cut with my Cricut. Used the "A Mothers Day Bouquet" cartridge. The heart of the middle flower is a stamped spool sentiment by Maya Road. The heart of the flower on the right is a stamped button from a little stampset by Hero Arts "Sew Original" CL397. The stamped button on the left is from a SSS stamp set. In the background a stamp by Hero Arts "Old Letter" CG197.The butterfy is a Martha Steward punch. And the Happy birthday wish is also from a stampset by Hero Arts CL139.
Paper is from My Mind's Eye.
Hope you like it!

Roses

Today I like to share two cards with roses I made for church. These cards are big, so I made a photo of the front panel.


I like the roses wich are a stamp by Hero Arts. the postcard stamp is also by Hero Arts. I stamped a zigzag on it.


These roses I adore! And I imagine there's a "loveletter" behind it. It is a stamp by Unity.
And now I like to show some roses we recently bought.











They have just the colors I like.
Hope you liked your visit today!
