Hi there, how are you?
We have had here in the US a long weekend. Yesterday my family was home and usually this means for us – home improvement projects lol. This time we worked in my laundry room. Found some really cool cabinets at IKEA i liked… with red doors and silver hardware. Not quite sure though if i am going for. I just liked the contemporary look.
My card for today… well… that’s a story… so yesterday i really wanted to make at least one card.. so iam thinking something quick… right… you would think i have lots of papers and stamps but i could not figure out what to do and match up. I was getting frustrated. Sometimes things just fall into place an other days it is just like there a worm in – as we would say in German lol.
However.. iam pleased with the outcome. I liked how the “Mum” – balloons do create a sentence with the added “I love You” sentiment.
Stamps: Lili of the Valley Teddy “Mum”
Sentiment: Magnolia Rubberstamps
Papers: My Minds Eye
Embellishments: Stickles, Taffeta (tangerine by Stamping up), crochet lace from stash, Flowers, brads (Recollection)
Copics: YR 0000 / 18/ 12/ E50/ 31/ 34/93/ 95/ 33/ Y35/ YG 21/ 03/ R81/ 83/ 85/0

Wow what a vibrant and happy card Claudia. The image is so sweet and I love the gorgeous orange taffeta. Hugs, Denise x
hello sweetheart, your card is phenominal. what a fab idea teaming the mum balloons with the sentiment, works brilliantly..
the sentiment stamp that you asked about it is from whimsy stamps hun.xxx
Beautiful card. I love how colorful and fun it is. I have these papers and love them!
Such a nice bright and sunny card...perfect pickup for a cold snowy day.

HI! Claudia, I love your expression: "A day like there is a worm in..." LOL. I have those days too. My head spins and I just can't make it stop, so nothing does fall into place. I love your balloons, so precious, ad the little bear in mid air, so cute.
Your colors are so bright and happy, so very lovely.
Hugs. Danielle.
Oh wow your card is amazing! So sweet and your coloring is stunning! Love the MOM ballons.

Thanks for the inspiration! I've got this paper pack and just couldn't decide how to use the paper with the banners only at the top,it looks just wonderful layered in this way,so goes with your beautifully coloured image too! Have a great day,Julie.x
Dein Kaertchen ist schon wieder Zuckersuess...ganz toll coloriert und deine Papiere sind echt reizend!

I like the sound of your laundry Claudia. Super card, as always

Darn it Claudia I am so jealous, you really have a way with Copic Markers. Mine sets in the the craft room accumulating dust, I just can't seem to get a beautiful outcome like you do. Gorgous, I love it, like I said I am jealous!

Wow, the cabinets sound really nice... Love ikea they have great stuff... I hope you weren't like the commercial since they are having a sale right now...lol you know the one where she drives up to the house in a truck and says they're having a sale, and she's going back for more
Anyway, the card is adorable, guess even creative genius' like you have "writers block" every once in awhile... But the outcome is gorgeous... Love what you did with the balloons both yesterday & today!!!
Hugs
Debbie
