First Christmas Card

Today I want to show you one of the first Christmas cards I've made this season ...

Maybe it's a little early to start posting Holiday themed cards, but I've recently bought this cute Christmas Lights Snail image in Meljen's shop and I couldn't wait any longer to create something with it.

I loved coloring the digi very much although I realize it's not perfect, but I struggled so much composing the card and there are a couple of things that went wrong, oh well,  imperfections can be charming too I hope ;-)

Thanks for looking and have a lovely day xx

Hugs,

Connie

I would like to join these challenge(s) with my card :

ABC Christmas Challenge : T for Tree Ornament
De Creatieve Zebra : Challenge 14 - kaart zonder bloemen

Meljen's Design - "stitched country heart"

For such a long time I have hoped to be able to play along with one of the Weekend Mini Challenges over at Meljen's Designs Club and now I've finally had a few spare moments to join !! Yaaaay !!!

I know, it's a very Clean And Simple (CAS) card, I just wanted to have a few quick mini cards to enclose in my outgoing mail, and the stitched country heart is just perfect to thank my friends for being part of my life :-) !!

Thank you Melissa for this LOVELY free digi !!

Below a few more images of the two cards I've made

Thanks for looking and enjoy your weekend !

Love & hugs,

Lift challenge # 72

Wat is het alweer superlang geleden dat ik hier nog iets gepost heb !

Maar het kriebelde al een hele tijd om nog eens wat kaarten te maken, dus toen ik de leuke lift challenge zag op het gelijknamige blog, ben ik er eindelijk nog eens in gevlogen :-)

Mijn kaartje is er eentje om op te sturen naar een penne-vriendin uit de UK, ik ben nu al benieuwd wat ze er van vindt ;-)

*****

It has been such a long time since I've posted anything on my blog !

But my fingers had been itching for a long time to start making some more cards again, so when I saw the cool lift challenge on the blog, I decided to give it a go again ;-)

I've made my card for one of my pen pals living in the UK, I wonder what she will think of it and hope she will like it ;-)

Hieronder de te liften kaart  - below is what the card needed to look like

En hier volgen nog wat meer foto's van hoe mijn kaart er uit ziet ...
And next a couple more pictures of what my card looks like ...

Bedankt om een kijkje te nemen en ik ben uiteraard benieuwd om wat reacties te mogen horen :-)

Thanks for looking and of course it would be just wonderful to know what you think of it :-)

Tot ziens op m'n blog - Hope to see you around again !!

Liefs, Hugs,

Mail Art Envelopes

Below a first sample of my mail art envelopes ...

I've drawn & painted the owl image in Artrage, then finished the envelope with some Photoshop brushes ...

It's perfect to use my stash of white envelopes that I usually leave aside when sending mail to my pals abroad ...

I can hardly wait to use them now :)

Hope my pals will like them too ...

Have a lovely end of the weekend and until a next post ...

Love and hugs,
Connie

Painted tags

Hello again,

Below are some tags that I've painted recently in Artrage, they can be downloaded for free here (part two) and here (part one).

They can be used for digital scrapbooking, or you can also print them and use them for various craft projects, for gifts, as bookmarks, ... or anything you can think of ...

Thanks for looking and of course, I'd love to hear your opinions about them ;-)

Love and hugs,

Baby announcement

 a few trials ...

and here's the final result !

This is a baby announcement card that I've made for my sister's third baby boy.

I can finally show it on my blog now, since her son Simen was born on the 18th of February and everyone should have received the announcement by now ;-)

It was a bit of a challenge to come up with something original and it was quite a relief to hear that many people liked the result :).

Thanks for looking and have a lovely day,

xoxo,
Connie
