Waltzingmouse Pajama Party too

I am still partying *LOL* ... I was looking at all your beautiful creations and decided to continue and make a second post. First time I looked at challenge no 3 - color inspiration, I thought - no, not me! But this is where a real challenge starts, right?? ... So I sat down, went trough my stamp pads and found I have the right colors (you know that hoarding syndrome?) ... then I went into my stamp sets and found *sight* tooooo many, choice is toooooo difficult! I had hard time to concentrate on one set and not to jump from idea to idea - finishing nothing at the end!
At last I decided for the Asian garden and additions, because I felt the lanterns can easily take a color mix. While stamping and messing around, I needed the bird (cut out on a 3D pad) to cover an unwanted spot and needed a quote, that is not two lines ... then decided there is too much emty space on the right side, so looked out for some Rhinestone sparkle (Asian cards can have that, right?).
At the end I am pleased, mainly because I stamped more or less the whole day, something I haven't done for ages and it felt good.
Thanks to Claire and her team for the big effort of all those inspirations - love the diversity, everybody can find something there.

With the last day light I took my photos and will enjoy my evening now - nighty night everybody!

Waltzingmouse Pajama Party

At Waltzingmouse it's party time - several challenges are out to play. One would like to participate in all the challenges, but where is the time .... the one that grabbed my attention most was 'Golden Oldies' (may be because I am a golden oldie!! ;o) LOL )
First time I 'met' Claire was actually in a challenge of another company. Wow - I thought, she is really good and saved her blog. A short while later, she had her first try with the 'Gingerbread'-sets.... mmmh I thought by myself - she is good, but a shop.... to be honest, I was suspicious, although I liked the set!
I remember after I bought then my first set and then - *could not believe it* - I won a prize with her for a comment - 5 sets!! At that point she completely got me into her fan club and since then I love not only her crafting work, also her company and designs. WMS is now the company with the biggest file over here and I made a lot of friends through Waltzingmouse, all over the world. Thanks Claire - keep going!
One of the sets I won was 'blessed by you' - I still, until today love it for the wonderful quotes in a great fond and quite often use it. This time I needed a 'thank you' for a friend who has done me a favor - just perfect for the set again. Since we moved back to Germany and I am reentered in my profession, time is so limited for my hobby! CAS became very dear to me and this is what you can see here - a simple card, made with love!

Wish you all great challenges and happy stamping.

 

Christmas

I should have started muuuch earlier - and I knew. I am trying to do better now - promised a friend some cards, because she did me a lovely favor... and I am working on it....
The idea of the card came from HERE, but since it is not a one layer card, it did not fit in the challenge. I dug in my stamps and found this stamp from Unicorn, that was one of my first one and made a card, in honor of Egypt, still the country where my heart is...

I haette viiiiiieeel frueher anfangen sollen, - und ich wusste es auch! Jetzt versuch ich mich zu bessern - den ich habe einer Freundin ein Kartenset versprochen, weil sie mir einen ganz lieben Gefallen getan hat.... ich arbeite also an den Weihnachtskarten...
Ich habe die Idee, das Motiv in die Karte laufen zu lassen HIER gesehen, auch wenn es am Ende keine One Layer wurde ... Dazu hab ich diesen uralt Stempel von Unicorn ausgegraben, es war einer meiner Ersten und habe diese Karte in Gedanken an Aegypten gemacht, das Land, in dem immer noch mein Herz weilt..... 

Hearts

Because hearts always work, not only for Valentine, it was last week the challenge at Stempelhuehnerhof. A bit late here my version, made with stamps and dies from PTI. In the close up you can see the heart in the butterfly.
It is still rainy here - I should really start to craft... if only there would not be this daily life routine....

Herzen... gehen immer, nicht nur an Valentine, deshalb war es letzte Woche auch Thema im Stempelhuehnerhof. Ein wenig spaet, hier meine Versionen, Stempel und Stanzen von PTI. In der Nahaufnahme kann man das Herz im Schmetterling sehen.
Es regnet hier immer noch - und ich sollte mich nun wirklich mal an meinen Basteltisch setzen - wenn da nur nicht immer der taegliche Krimkrams so viel Zeit weg nehmen wuerde....

Not only a little girl....

also a little boy have had birthday. His birthday was in the middle of a stress period, so his present and card came late - sorry! I was happy to see he was happy with his present and card loving Mama was happy with the card!
This stamp from Technique Tuesday is already two years old and was never used - shame on me! Coloring was easy with Tom Bows and a little sparkle is in the middle of the car ;o)
Enjoy your rainy Sunday - I am hoping for some crafting!!

Nicht nur ein kleines Mädchen (siehe rosa Karte) auch ein kleiner Junge hatte Geburtstag. Leider lag sein  Geburtstag inmitten einer Stressperiode und so bekam er Geschenk und Karte jetzt erst. Ich war froh, dass er sich trotzdem über das Geschenk gefreut hat und die Karten-liebende Mama hat sich über die Karte gefreut ;o) *lach*
Der Stempel von Technique Tuesday liegt hier schon zwei Jahre rum und wartete darauf gebraucht zu werden - Schande über mich!!!
Wünsch Euch einen schönen verregneten Sonntag - ich hoffe, dass ich zum Basteln komme, es hat sich ja genügend angesammelt ....

SI - Pink/Weiss

Gosh, is it true, - one month is past without any posts!!! Life is rolling too fast this days!! ...but now I am back (it is raining outside and crafting weather ;o)  ). Today is Saturday and with it the Saturday Inspiration at Stempelhuehnerhof - today with a color scheme, Pink and White!
*shudder* not really my cup of tea, but since a little girl is turning 3, I thought I might use it there.

Ach du meine Guete! es ist schon einen Monat her, dass ich mal was gepostet habe! Das Leben ist mir mal wieder zuuuu schnell im Moment.... aber nun bin ich mal wieder da (denn draussen regnet es und das bedeuted Bastelwetter! ;o)  )
Es ist Samstag heute und damit gab es ein neues SI im Stempelhuehnerhof - dismal mit einer Farbenkombi - Pink/Weiss!!! *schuettel* das ist ja nun so gar nicht mein Ding, aber da ein kleines Maedchen 3 Jahre wird, dachte ich, dass ist eine gute Gelegenheit, die Karte umzusetzen!
