well… how do i start my posting today :-0
Those cute Hanglars are definitely one of my favorites. Loving those girls with the poses. Little girls are are not always cute (just assuming have just boys lol) carry pretty flowers and dance in the Spring wind hahahaha.
Thought this would be great like heii… “somebody had to tell me that it is your birthday today”. Or why did you not tell me….
The birthday message can be stamped or handwritten to the inside. It is still blank.
Went with some not so extremely cute papers – used just black cardstock for matting. I loved that this pad had some small written words and for the inside i used a sheet with little birds on it. Hope you can see them peeking out here on this shot.
I wanted to tell you, how grateful iam that you still come to my blog and leave me comments. It makes me happy and sad at the same time cause i am unable to return the love at the moment. Yesterday i have worked so hard on some stuff for the Magazine – had to re do it and so on… to the point that i sat and wondered if it is all worth it. I know things will get better for me once Niklas starts Kindergarten in Fall.
Anyhow… i wanted to give 3-4 blog small candies away from comments left on this posting today. I do not expect you to link or mention my candy – it is all optional. I want this to be a treat for those of you, who visit me on a regular basis. I do not even have photos from the candy.. it is going to be a brand new Crafters Companion stamp.
the card is made using my friend Jeanettes wonderful sketch for Friday Sketcher this week. Please check out all the girls cards for this week on the Friday Sketcher blog and hopefully you find time to play along and post your own creation on the Friday Sketcher blog.
The fabulous Sassy Sketcher girls who made a card for this week are: Bea, Bev, Jacque, Janneke, Jeanette, Jorunn (takes a break) & Tanja

Hello Claudia,
What a beautiful card! The red/black combo is just striking! And I love the image... I see similar attitude from my 3 year old daughter often ;)
Claudia, what a wonderful pose. That fits my girl to a tee. Stubborn, stubborn stubborn and she's 28 years old. LOL! I think you captured it perfectly in your creation. Sorry you have so many things to do. Sometimes that's the way it works out. Hope you have a wonderful and relaxing weekend! Big hugs!
Love the stamp and your lovely card:) I'm amazed over all the cards you find the time to make. If I'm lucky I manage one card over one week:)
Claudia, I absolutely love your colours here. Great choice with the pink and green flowers and yes I can see the cute birds peeking out! I'm sure all your projects you are working on will be worth the time away from blog land, take a deep breath and keep plugging away, love this card!
Hi wow the flowers bring out your fantastic colouring of her. I love this stamp she rocks ! The ribbon and layout are stunning. It will be so worth while when you see it and be proud of your projects in the mag and no doubt the thousands of crafters that it will inspire . Thankyou for your generosity in offering a chance to win some candy. Kitty :D
Another beautiful card Claudia, Love that DP and the colouring of that sweet image is just stunning. Love the ribbon you've used to. It's always a pleasure to come visit you. I hope you have a lovely weekend.

Lovely card! Great colouring! I'm still having so much problems with this :( Greetings from Belgium, Annelies
The picture in the card remind she of my niece when she is on a roll and wants things to go her way...:-)
Hey sweetie.
As always another beautiful card. Always adore your coloring, pretty embellishments and papers!
I have been away for a tragic family death. A man under the influence of drugs crossed the center line and killed my brother's daughter last week. So my last week or so has been horrible.
I hope you and the family are doing well. Have a fun weekend.
Hugs
Peggy

You have beautifully captured the mood of this card with the black and red combo…and the ‘laugh’ and ‘love’ sentiments are such a wonderful poignant touch!

Hi Claudia,I think all the effort you make with your cards is deffinately worth it, I love to visit and see all your wonderful creations, you really inspire me to carry on when I`ve lost my mojo for crafting. All the little details and finishing touches you put into your projects make them so special and a joy to see, keep up the great work, hugs Sara xxx :)
Hi Claudia,
Visiting your blog is always such a treat! I adore your work, though now with the 3 kiddos back I don't have the time I wish I had. This is stunning! The black is beautiful with your papers. Very inspiring! I'm with you on the Kindergarten stuff! Jordan will start in the fall and I can't wait. Hang in there with the 'stuff' you're having to do. It's always a found treasure to see your work published!
Hugs,
Barb
So wonderful card Claudia,I love the image and the colours.
So gorgeous papers and the details.
Hugs Riet.xx
It's a beautiful card! Love the attitude of the image! I've got two little girls myself and I must say that they can look just like it! Haha!
It does make quite a difference when all the kids are in school. My youngest started school just 2 months ago and I must say dat it's a lot easier to sit down and craft.
Hugs, Kim
Wouaaaah c'est superbe ! J'aime beaucoup ! Un peu plus, que toutes les autres, mais je suis sous le charme à chaque nouvelle carte !

Яка вона мила :)
Hi Claudia,

I think we all have times when we wonder if what we are doing is really worth it but when you send a handmade card and you hear how much it meant or how much you inspire other people then the moment of doubt disappears. Hope things go smoother for you, lovely card as always!
Love your card Claudia, the colouring is excellent as always. Hope your magazine project works out well. x
Don't give up, Claudia! Things will definitely get better in the fall. Meanwhile, hang in there. Your work is fabulous!

Beautiful colouring it makes the girl look so 3d. I wish mine was as good. Liking the unusual colour combo as well. Gill x
Again a beautiful card Claudia. Your coloring is just amazing. And i know how you feel. My youngest is allmost 10 but i still can't find the time to craft. I work 2 days in the week and 2 days i am a volunteer at his school so basically there is 1 day in the week i can craft. And then there is household.....
Have a great weekend.
Hugs, Yvon
oh, sweet colouring Claudia! love the shading... and that hinge!! have a lovely sunday ♥

This card is absolutely gorgeous! I'm wondering, how do manage to acquire these stamps? I suppose the only way is to have a friend where they are made. LOL! Enjoy your blog and ideas. Keep them coming!! It's worth it if you haven't figured that out by your 82 comments before me. hee hee Hugs!
Of course we keep coming back. Your creations, like this one, are always so stunningly gorgeous! Thank you so much for the continual motivation & inspiration!

Hi. I don't ususally leave a comment on your blog, but if it helps, I follow you because you help keep me inspired. I'll look at something you've done and incorporate it into one of my own creations. So thanks.
Hi Claudia,
It's a great card.As always great coloring. The image is so cute. I love the flowers you used.
greetings, Claudia
Hi Claudia,
I visit your blog almost daily and I always love to see the new cards you made. I don't write much comments but I really think you're an example for a lot of us. I love your bright style and especially your coloring. Somehow I won't get your style on my own cards even though I try very hard, lol! I think it's your coloring that make your cards so special.
Please make as many cards as you do right now. Of course there are moments that you wonder if it's worth, but for us it is!!
Leonie xx
Love the card! Beautiful colours and indeed, these girlies are cute and cool at the same time!
I'm sorry you can't craft as much as you would like, little children take a lot of time! But they give a lot of love in return :)

Gorgeous card, Claudia, love that image and your coloring is great. Papers are beautiful also. hugs,Frances.
Your projects inspire me every single time you post and to just know that you question yourself and all that your give, leaves me a bit sad, but so encouraged. Just to know that someone with all your abilities and talents feels overwhelmed sometimes too, is even to make time feel a tad more normal today, so thank you for that!!!
I hope you know how much we all appreciate you!! :)
Hi Claudie
Thanks so much for sharing your talent with us. Every morning when I am home your blogg is the first thing I enjoy with a cup of coffee, great start to my day.

I love your posting and each day you make my day with your darling cards. But remember to take care of your self as well.

You are appreciated.

WOW!! Just had a peep around your blog, and your work is remarkable. Lots of TLC and beautiful colouring...FABULOUS!!
The visit was useful. Content was really very informative. From www.thailandblooms.com/city_To_Thailand.asp?cp=Mothersday_To_Thailand.asp
Your creations are so stunning! You sound a bit overwhelmed at the moment, if you need to take a step back and do a little less, then that is what you should do. I have the motto "if it feels like work, it's not craft - so don't do it!" I will still come and drool over whatever you make, and I'n sure I'm not the only one ;-) Dee
