You girls have been busy!

Wow - my inbox is positively overflowing with gorgeous cream, brown, and pink creativeness! You girls have been busy over the weekend!

Today's first entry is a lovely part favour which comes from Vicky Fernando (click to enlarge):



From Vicky:

"I wanted a quick & easy party favour bag for my daughter's birthday party so I thought what could be easier than a cone shape filled with lollies!".


"The cardstock is pink pearlescent Christina Re, & I've used a scalloped Nestabilities shape, an EK Success circle punch, and a Collections chipboard heart".





"The stamps are SeeDs (xoxo), Non Sequitur (butterflies), & Cherry Pie (bricks), & I've used Vivid ink (pink), Versafine (for the bricks), StaZon black (for the b`flies) & Adirondack (to colour the heart) & my crop-a-dile to punch the holes. The ribbon is actually torn satin fabric".

What an awesome party favour Vicky! I bet your daughter and her friends were thrilled!

Next we have a gorgeous Christmas card from Godelieve Tijskens of Belgium:



Godelieve has used stamps by Art Journey which she stamped with Memories White, and Versafine Vintage Sepia. A Fiskars border punch and Tim Holtz paper distresser were used to add texture and interest to her card.

So pretty Godelieve!

Next we have a great mini album from Marianne Verschoof of The Netherlands:



From Marianne:

"I began with a cream paper and folded it and did some cuttings, so you can fold into one square again. I used some photos of my sister and her children (this is for my sisters birthday), and made them brown on the computer. I matted the photos on brown paper"



"Most stamps I used are from Penny Black and some from Basic grey. Used a pink ribbon, and the letters "L O V E" on the front are embossed with embossing powder".


"The rest I kept simple, because I think the attention has to go to the photos, and you can't put too much in, otherwise it becomes to thick when it is folded into one square".

What a lovely present for your sister Marianne!


Next is a yummy Christmas card from Stempelientje of The Netherlands:



Stempelientje used a Darkroom Door Plaid background stamp, and the other stamps are from Clear Art.



Stempelientje has used Copic markers for the colouring, and a Spica marker for the twinkle in the squirrel's eye.

Gorgeous Stampelientje!

I don't know about you guys, but I am LOVING this colour combination! Such a yummy, vintagey, shabby chic look! I love how the look varies too, when more of one colour is used.


OK - just one more entry for today - I'm gonna make you wait for the others until tomorrow!

The last entry for today was sent in by Willy Anderson of Spain:



From Willy:

"First I stamped background text (Crafty Individuals CI-258) on pink paper (Basic Grey-Two Scoops-Strawberry Smoothie) with StazOn Timber Brown ink. Then I twice stamped the hearts with stems (Paperbag Studios-Little Feet sheet)".

"Next I stamped heart (from hearts with stems), cake (Art Journey-Celebrate sheet) and congrats (Art Journey-Gorgeous Kids sheet) on cream paper, cut them out and glued them onto the card. I distressed the edges with Timber brown ink and glued the card onto brown cardstock"
.

Stunning card Willy!

I'll be back tomorrow morning to share some more new entries, so make sure you come back to see them! :)

Wow, it is great how all the projects co-ordinate so well together from the colour scheme but are also all so different.
Great creations ladies.
