Shabby Chic Box

White glitter Rose Box 1Actually, this was supposed to be a card.

White glitter Rose Box 3 I had a small stamping disaster as I stamped the text on the card upsidedown! I was so frustrated that I ruined my card, that I cut it up into pieces!!!.  As the cut up card was lying on the table upsidedown, I realized that upside-down was now right-side-up and I re-attached it to a piece of card, measured it, and made a box exactly to fit my little paper disaster.

White glitter Rose Box 2I quite like the little box now.  It just goes to show you, before you give up on something you like, take a look at it again from another angle!!

Have a nice day!

Breakfast Confessions!

Chocolate chips 2I made chocolate chip cookies late last night for my son to take to school in the morning to share with his classmates today…Chocolate chips 13 whole batches! The ones that did not look so beautiful I put in a tin to keep for my husband to take to work. Chocolate chips 3Ooops!  Somewhere between getting everybody off to school, work and cleaning the kitchen…I ate 3 or was it 4, I lost count somehow.  I suppose I will just call it breakfast and  move on with my day! :-O !

Have a happy day!

Happy Day!

oh happy day1Here is a card that I made for a customer yesterday.  She wanted to make her own wedding invitations. She brought me an example which she thought might work for her. And we worked with it a bit and came up with this card.

oh happy day2I really like the result and thought it might also serve as a lovely birthday greeting or thank you card! After speaking with the bride to be, I discovered that the original idea came from an outspoken Stampin‘-Up-Sister who has a terribly interesting blog called „puenktchenstempel.de“ So for those of you german speakers, who like a „tongue in cheek“ type of crafty humor, I can recommend giving Nadine Teiner a visit!

oh happy day3I wish you all a very happy day!

A special card and gift wrap for a special friend!

A good friend of mine needed a special card and gift wrapping quick for an young flamenco dancer for her 18th birthday! So I found a few things in my bag of tricks and came up with this!

Flamenco Karte u. Verpackung 1 Flamenco Karte u. Verpackung 2A beautiful Flamenco Fan had to fit inside the rose. So I used a rolled piece of Stampin‘ Up 12×12 textured cardstock in Old Olive The ribbon is a great buy in my online shop Early Espresso scalloped tulle.  Fantastic to work with!

Flamenco Karte u. Verpackung 3 Flamenco Karte u. Verpackung 4The base card is Early Espresso Core’dinations cardstock from Stampin’Up and Flamenco Lady and Swirl stamps I have out of my stash –  perfect for the occasion!  The stamp that I can not live without is from Stampin‘ Ups „Gorgeous Grunge“ stamp set. It is the little spatter of ink in the backround that makes all the difference.  I LOVE it!

Have a nice day!

Easy Spring Decorations

Actually this was my winter decoration, which I am embarrassed to say that I just took down this week.  Even more embarrassing is that I was too lazy to think of anything „new“, so I just pulled all of the snow flakes off the branches and stuck flowers on instead! :-D! I rather like the simplicity of it all!

Spring dekoSpring deko1Hooray for easy!

Pretty doesn’t always have to be complicated! 😀

Have a nice evening!
