EBW Challenge Blog - January Project

Hello everybody!

Today is again the 25th. One of my favourite days every month. It doesn't only mean that the salary is coming... *lol* It also means that it's challenge time over at the Elisabeth Bell's World Challenge Blog. In case you missed last month' challenge, don't worry because today and every 25th of the month you get a new chance to participate.
This month the challenge is to alter anything but it must have the theme of LOVE, which should be an easy one, so close to Valentine's Day. ;-)


It's mere chance that every image that I used herefore is from Whiff of Joy but they just fit perfectly together. The main image called "Willow with Gingerbread heart" is from the winter collection but can easily be used for different occasions. The rest of it, such as embellishments and Design Paper are from my stash. The image is coloured as always with my "magic" Copic Markers. I would never ever give them away. *lol*
Eventhough it's obvious, I still have to say that I just love EVERYTHING that Elisabeth Bell creates. I wonder how my life was before I met her and found her amazing designs. :-)





I would love to see you joining us in this month' challenge and to see what you come up with. If you want to get some inspiration, please make sure that you stop by the Elisabeth Bell's World Challenge Blog to check out all of the amazing works done by the DT/GDT! I am sure you will enjoy each of it!

Thank you for stopping by and for every comments you may leave. They are highly appreciated!


BIG hugs and have a wonderful day!

Elisabeth Bell's January Digi Blog Hop

Hello everybody

It's been a long time since I last posted but today I am very happy and proud to present you Elisabeth Bell's brand-new January Digi image called "My Prince". I can't believe it myself what she does every time to show us the most wonderful images. I am sure you will love it as much as I do. :-)
The image straight away reminded me of the beautiful Walt Disney Movie "Kiss the Frog". Well, I coloured the princess the same way as in the movie.

It seems that since yesterday afternoon I have got the stomach flu. Great!
Ohhhh, I was so happy to enjoy the weekend but now I am afraid I will spend it walking from the bed to the bathroom. :-(

Ok, let's move on now to my little project. Since this Blog Hop is "candy-related", I created this candybox and filled it with little chocolates called "Bacio", which are originally from Italy. They are just too yummi! :-)
The template for my box is from Betty's Creations and can be found HERE.





Here the picture of the Copic Sketch Markers that I have used.



Below-mentioned you find the main list, in case you should have got lost along the way.
Have fun with the wonderful creations that the Digi Bells Sisters have made to introduce the January Digi!

Li'l Cowboy

Hello everybody and happy Wednesday!

Over night it started again to snow a lot, here in Switzerland. Maybe it will last for a while and we are going to have a white Christmas. ;-)
It's been a long time since I last made a "male-card". For sure it's never bad to have some on stock. ;-) I tried to keep it simple and not to use many Embellishments, which for me was not so easy. Well, at the end I couldn't resist to some stickles but I think it fits well. What do you think?
For today's card I have used this cute image called "Li'l Cowboy" from Elisabeth Bell's Digital Collection.




My used Copic Sketch Markers for that image



MATERIALS USED:

•Stamps: "Li'l Cowboy" from the Elisabeth Bell Digital Collection, text is from "Autumn Leaves" Ticketed by Katie Pertiet.
•Paper: Paper is from my stash.
•Medium: Memento Dye Ink Tuxedo Black, Copic Sketch Markers.
•Embellishments: Stickles are "Star Dust", "Copper" and "Waterfall", Pearls are from KaiserCraft, Ribbon is from my stash.

As a quick reminder: Have you been blog hopping and did you see Elisabeth Bell's new December Digi called "Frosty the Snowman"? If you want a chance to win this lovely Digi, upload your Winter card using any Elisabeth Bell image HERE until Friday, 17th December by 7 pm Arizona time.

Last but not least: Our Elisabeth Bell's World Challenge Blog theme "ANYTHING CHRISTMAS (but NOT a card)" is still running. Closing time for entries is 7 PM Arizona time on the 22nd of each month. Check out the awesome prizes!


BIG hugs and have a successful day!

Ginnie, Gliding with Butterflies

Hello everyone!

For all of you living in the States... How was your Thanksgiving? I very much hope you had a wonderful day and a BIIIIG Turkey. :-)
Two days ago it started to snow in Switzerland. To look at it, it's actually very beautiful but I nevertheless don't really like it. Too cold for me. Yes I know, I'm not a real Swiss. *lol*
Eventhough it's the season, I don't want to accept "winter", so therefore my card that I want to show you today looks very summery. :-) For my card I have used this very adorable image from Elisabeth Bell's Digital Collection Gallery.
Ginnie looks like she's dancing on her roller skates, so I thought that this text would fit. :-)






Used Markers for that image




MATERIALS USED:

•Stamps: "Ginnie, Gliding with Butterflies" from the Elisabeth Bell Digital Collection, text is from Kraftin Kimmie.
•Paper: Design Paper is from Basic Grey "Paper Pad Eva".
•Medium: Memento Dye Ink Tuxedo Black, Copic Sketch Markers.
•Embellishments: Stickles are "Star Dust" and "Pink", Pearls "SB788 Plum" are from KaiserCraft, Flowers are from my stash.

EBW Challenge Blog - November Project

Hello everybody!

Today it's already the 25th. Do you know what this means??? It's again Challenge time over at the Elisabeth Bell's World Challenge Blog.
This month the project will be to make "anything christmas". So this should be an easy one, since it totally fits to the season. Please make ANYTHING BUT A CARD or a card with lots of different folds. You choose...

I saw the idea of a "candy box" in the latest Magnolia Ink Magazine "Christmas Edition". This project was so easy and fun to do and is apart from that a lovely gift. On the lid of my box, I have used Elisabeth Bell's adorable Digital Stamp called "Eden's Second Christmas" which you can find in her Digital Collection Gallery. Isn't Eden a real cutie?

If you go to our Challenge Blog, you can find the wonderful creations that the other DT and GDT Members have made. I am sure they would be over the moon if you would leave them a comment. OK, I won't tantalize you any longer. Here comes my project. I hope you like.





MATERIALS USED:

•Stamps: "Eden's Second Christmas" from the Elisabeth Bell Digital Collection, text is, I think, from Inkadinkado.
•Paper: Red CS, Design Paper Kaisercraft.
•Medium: Memento Dye Ink Tuxedo Black, Copic Sketch Markers.
•Embellishments: Stickles are "Star Dust", "Golden Rod" and "Xmas Red, Flowers and ribbon are from my stash.
