Margreet's scrapcards

Yesterday I went to the Magnolia Winter Event, where we had 3 workshops and 1 make and take. It was a very pleasant and exhausting day. Of course nobody managed to finish the projects. So, I will tell what the workshops were, and I'll show them when they are finished. We started with an explosion box, then a card with a tag and last but not least a schoolbag. The make and take was a sweet little giftbox, made with a kind of origami folding. And we all got this special Tilda.....isn't she lovely???? The other sweet Tilda with those lovely roses was the special edition of the Magnolia Event before this one. I could not resist buying her! I feel very honoured with this stylish award given to me by the lovely Laney . Thanks a lot. Originally there are many rules for forwarding the award, but as I get so much inspiration from so many bloggers, I will pass it to anyone who wants to take it. Thanks for paying me a visit on this cold, but sunny Sunday!

Since last week I'm a DT member of 't Bezige Bijtje , a Dutch craft shop and also webshop. For this card I have used papers from Graphic 45, the Transatlantic Collection. I distressed all papers with the Tim Holtz distresser and Distress ink (vintage photo). The nestabilities are Labels Four. The butterflies are made with a Joy! stencil and the rhinestones on top are from Glitterati Crafts. The flowers are made with a Marianne Design die and the roses are Wild orchid Crafts. As I missed something on the card I put some Stickles on the roses as the finishing touch (the photo had already been made, so you must believe me....lol). All materials are for sale here .

Here's my golden Tilda, wearing a necklace with stars. She is sitting on a golden frame, punched with a Marianne Design folder. Underneath is a paper doily lace which I inked golden. Flowers are a combi of the EK Success big daisy punch and 2 different Marianne Design flowers. All Marianne Design stuff is for sale at 't Bezige Bijtje . On top of the flowers are 2 big buttons from my stash. Another button is on top of the golden organza bow. It also has a charm hanging. Gold papers are from my stash, the paper with golden baubles (hardly to see) is from an old Action block, the white with golden paper is from Little Yellow Bicycle and is cut with Martha Stewart's scalloped border punch. On top of it some brownish/golden lace from my stash. I handstitched with a golden thread.

For this card I used papers from Echo Park and I distressed them with Tim Holtz Vintage Photo Distress Ink. The stamp is from Hero Arts and the snowflakes are made with Tulip's Puffy paint. Flowers and leaves are made with Marianne Creatables. The pearl stones at the heart are from Kars. The ornament at the right corner is a Joycrafts stencil, which I cut, embossed and distressed with Vintage Photo too. On top some pearls with the bronze Perlen Pen. Lace is from my stash. As you may have noticed on top of my sidebar I'm a designer for 't Bezige Bijtje since last week (especially for Joycrafts). 't Bezige Bijtje is a local shop ánd also a webshop. Diana is the owner of this nice shop and she supplied me with the Marianne Creatables, Joycrafts stencil, Tim Holtz distress ink and Kars' pearls. Why not pay her a visit?

Originally this would be my DT card for Fairy Fun Friday's challenge Buttons & Bows, but our beloved Roberta gave us her new Christmas releases to play with (see my post below). Just go to our challenge blog to see her new fab images. One of my colleagues is giving birth any day now and I saw I only have a card for a baby girl, so I had to make a baby boy card. The papers are Eline's Babies Blue from Marianne Design, except the darkest blue dotted paper, which is from my stash, as are the charm, buttons and ribbons. For Dillan (who you can buy here ) I used my oval and scalloped oval nestabilities. Here a close-up of that cute Baby Dillan (sorry that the pic is a little bit blurry): As you can see I didn't use many Copics, due to the paperpiecing!

Well, another 2 weeks have passed by and so we have again a new challenge for you to play with. This time we at Fairy Fun Friday want to see Buttons and Bows. I used Imaginisce Polar Expressions background papers. The red and white borders are from cardstock with holes in it and I covererd them with ribbon. The white border is embossed with the Cuttlebug dotted folder (but it's hard to see). The flower: first a bought one, then a green and a red Marianne Design's pointsettia treated with green and red Stickles. On top a ribbon bow with a pin with an extra charm flower. The red buttons (some with ribbon) are from my stash. The image is one of the new releases by Roberta of Prairie Fairy and is for sale here . Go and take a look at the Fairy Fun Friday blog to see what my fellow fairies have created and perhaps you could bring them some love. We all love that!!! We hope you will join (again) this fortnight. You have plenty of time and you know: there are fab prizes to be won....

I made this card for my beloved hubby who has his birthday today and who is longing for the sun already. So I decided to use this appropriate House Mouse stamp (sorry for the blurry pic). Papers are American Crafts. The tickets are stamped on kraft paper. The rik rak is from my stash and the shelves are found on the beach last summer. I also adhered a shelf charm and some parasols. Nesties used are Labels eight. Here you can see the ticker somewhat better. This is the backside of the ticket.....that's my present for MDH. Here a close-up of the sweet mice. I did some Smooch on the shelves to let them shimmer but unfortunately you can only see it on the right side of the pic.. And of course the used Copics. I will enter the following challenges: Cards for Men : Animals Lotstodo : Friends/friendship Sketch Saturday : Sketch Simon Says Stamp : Masculin (it's for my hubby) and a charm Stampavie and more : Use a tag Sarah Hurley Challenge : Easel card MAWTT : Nice and bright Cute...

This card is made with the challenge sketch of Menscardsworld with the addition of a portrait. I thought that Edwin was the perfect person. The doublesided papers are from We R Memory Keepers. For the papers behind Edwin I used nesties Labels Four. The sentiment is from Penny Black. The ribbon, flowers and strass stones are from my stash. Here a close-up of Edwin's portrait.

This is my midweekreminder for the challenge Make Your Own Flower at Fairy Fun Friday. I made the card with the Flower Patch Paper Pad from Making Memories, used the nestie die Blossom to cut Elsie the Elephant and coloured her with copics. The small flowers are made with the smallest retro punch and I put a Perlen Pen drop in the heart. The big flowers are build up of some layers of the three retro punches, then stapled, a brad in the middle and afterwards whettened and crumpled up. I used Glimmer mist and Stickles frosted lace to let them shimmer. A silver pearl in the heart and underneath I made a circle from lace. The butterflies are beads. I separated that lovely Elsie from her brother Edwin because you buy them as a couple ( here ). I think it is needless to say that they are designed by my 'boss' Roberta. You've still got a whole week to enter this nice challenge. So I hope I can come to see your wonderful creation. Thanks for visiting me and I will be very glad ...

I'm totally exhausted because I went to a crafting fair in Utrecht, called KreaDoe, together with my crafting friend Erika.......this is my score....hope to show you my creations before long. I happened to meet some former crafting friends and also Sjakkie, who I know from blogland....very adorable woman! Wish you all a nice evening! xxx Margreet

This fabulous 'I got Attitude' award was given to me by Corry ànd Mrs. A . Yes, I got it from both of them and I feel flattered and deeply honoured. I love the new look, and with it comes a very wonderful $5 gift certificate from The Digi's with Attitude Store . I just have to follow a few simple steps. Firstly, I am to give this award to 5 other bloggers. Well, I think this is always the very most difficult part. How to choose just 5. Well I decided to do the same as Corry and choose a few of the talented people that give me some love on a regular basis and whom I visit on a regular basis. Now, Lori, Debs and Lorraine are three of them, and sorry girls but I know you all have one, but let me tell you you're all greatly appreciated by me. So here are my 5: POPS HEGE-ANNIE ULA SUZI BRENDA Secondly- Tell 3 things about yourself which makes you different to anyone else. This is the most difficult part because I can not think up anything as I am a average and happy person...

Friday........time for a new biweekly challenge at Fairy Fun Fridays . This time it was my turn to choose the challenge and I want to see handmade flowers! This is my DT card. I used a Creamotion Paperblock (Balkan roses), a Cuttlebug folder, which I cut on both sides with a Fiskars border punch. The beautiful ribbon with flowers on it were in a candy I once won at Ula's . The beautiful digi is called Terracotta Pot and is for sale here . I coloured with my copics and cut with nestabilities Classic Scalloped Rectangles Large. The ribbon underneath the flower, the charm and brad are from my stash. I used the technique with the dryer sheets of Shelly's Image Blog to create my flower. I coloured them with copics R59.

I think this card is totally different from my usual work. But I just wanted to use a another stamp and this sweetie is from a birthday RAK. When I saw the dots on her dress I immediately knew what papers I wanted to use. They are from Graphic 45. The diecut is a Quickutz flower die and underneath is a paper doily circle. Swirls are made with a Crealies folder. Roses are Wild Orchid's and the paper ones are from my stash, as are the brads and dew drops. I used Crystal Stickles on the image.
