    Christmas Wishes

    Hi guys, today I have another Christmas card to show you! I figured that when I would create at least one Christmas card per week until just before Christmas that I should have a nice stash to not have to rush too much last minute. To get this card started I printed a The Paper Shelter digital image on regular printer paper. This image is called “Cozy Winter Wishes“, isn’t she adorable? I die cut a circle from part of the image using one of my Crea-Nest-Lies XXL circle dies.

    Autumn Birthday Greetings

    Hi everyone, you probably didn’t noticed but I was on summer vacation for a couple of weeks and though our vacation didn’t turned out the way we planned or hoped for (due to family circumstances), we did manage to have an awesome day at the zoo yesterday. We went to “Ouwehand’s Dierenpark“ in Rhenen, the Netherlands. Amongst all the wonderful animals we saw these beautiful flamingo’s. The weather was also nice for a change, so we really enjoyed ourselves. But, back to the car

    Christmas in July

    Yes, you read that right, I made a Christmas card today! Usually I start with Christmas cards after the summer holidays, but I was colouring this image yesterday evening and she wanted to be a Christmas card! So, I had no choice! This cute digital image is from The Paper Shelter and she is called “Cozy Winter Wishes”. I printed her on regular printer paper and coloured her with my Faber Castell Polychromos. I used the following colours: 132, 189,219, 225, 166, 165, 172, 186
