the present of life

Last friday was a very hard day for my daughter and me as her father and my ex-husband had a serious heart attack. If he hadn´t been in hospital for another examination already he probably would not have survived, that´s why I called the page the present of life

The scan does not show very well the medical background I haven chosen.

Heart stamp from de stempelwinkel, stencil crafter´s workshop

Steampunk lady card

Using sizzix gear dies, crafters workshop templates and stamps from de stempelwinkel here´s what I have created.

TIO challenge

I love creating tags, bigger than an atc, but not too big to take ages to get a great result.
The recipe for this challange was to use:

A Pinch of Greenery; some Buttons; and a Butterfly or two and of course a stamp

Legs and head from Teesha Moore, body from a magazine, trying out some of Tim Holtz background technics.

Alice on the road

Having seen this gorgeous folder on another blog I knew I had to have it.
And with a free theme on the alice blog and myself in a very travelling mood I made this card with a longing Alice to see the world

The Alice stamp is from de Stempelwinkel/Non Sequitur stamps (http://www.nonsequiturstamps.com/index.php?action=article&aid=1639&group_id=10000028&lang=DE)

So have a good journey, Alice.

Needing some real colour I made this tag

I am usually scared using so many vibrant colours in one piece, let me know how you like it.
