Farewell, Simon!

Two weeks ago a friend of mine passed away after he suffered two years of esophageal cancer. We have been on ski holidays together for many years and I will always remember him and his special way of skiing. ;-) I sent his wife the following card as I couldn't attend his funeral:

Halloween Polaroid Greetings!

As Halloween is not a big deal here in our area I made a Halloween card for a friend of mine, who is living in the USA. She and her three girls always have amazing costumes and a fantastic decorated house and the kids collect tons of sweets each year. She just texted me three days ago that she already received this card:

I used the Mama Elephant Polaroid Fun Creative Die Cut set for it. I enter this card in the following challenges:

My first baby card!

This is my first baby card I made in March 2012 when I attended a Scrapbooking Workshop in Vienna at Stoffsalon. Then, I didn't have any clues of the countless techniques, supplies, etc. you can use for Scrapbooking. I just found the picture and I wanted to show it to you. My Scrapbooking passion started with this card ...

Embossed Washi Tape #2!

I made a similar card already but then I used just blue washi tapes. I like the idea of embossed washi tape I saw on Pinterest. This time I used bright and shiny colors. Once again I love the outcome of that clean and simple card!

Birthday Greetings behind Sizoweb!

I fell in love with the use of sizoweb on my cards. The pink birthday sentiment is done with heat embossing. Unfortunately, you can hardly see it on the picture. In real it looks much better. I added pink ribbon, some flowers with brads and a butterfly to it.

CASology Week #168: YOU

For this clean and simple card I used patterned paper in similar colors and cut out three hearts. I used my sewing machine to make a frame around them.
