Swimming degree

This weekend Aurora got her first swimming degree (in Dutch called 'A diploma'). Of course we all are very proud of her.

I made a lot of pictures, enough for a 12 x12 double sketch of Pagemaps.

And again I used Dots & stripes from Echo Park.

Presents for the teachers

Here in the Netherlands it's usual to give a small present to the teacher at the end of the year. This year my daughter had two teachers, so I made 2 small tissue boxes.

For the base I used plain white cardstock. The designpaper is from Echo Park (Dots & stripes). I added some flowers and paperclipes. The mushroom stamp is from Magnolia.

Magnolia challenge #3 Summer

This weeks challenge on the TOMIC blog is Summer. Make a creation using the theme 'SUMMER'. Use summer themed stamps or the word summer.

I combined two Magnolia stamps which I coloured with Derwent coloursoft. The background is coloured with Pink Sherbet and stamped with Viva (handwriting).

ATC Flower power

The subject of this months ATC swap on the forum of De Craftorij was 'Flower power.

For the background I used the colors: Shabby shutters, Mustard seed, Spiced marmelade and Worn lipstick. The pricture was found on the internet.

She did it!

Really, my daughter walked a four-day walk. Each night she walked 5 km with some friends and teachers from school. At the end the organisation gave her a medal.

But of course I also had to give her something, so I made her a rosette with Magnolia.

And now........I'm very proud of her.

Magnolia challenge #2 Color combo

On the TOMIC blog (The Official Magnolia Inspriration Challenge) is this weeks challenge to create a card with the colors pink, brown and white. I made a postcard stylish card of it with distress inks for the background.
