Lunagirl - Vintage Winter

The last day of the year! And it is horrible outside with lots of rain and wind and grey and ... weather to snuggle up on the sofa with a hot drink or something stronger and a good book ..... !
It is the last but also the first Lunagirl Moonbeams challenge: Vintage Winter 

 

These children seem to have a lot of fun in the snow on their sledge ....

Cheerful Monday #41 - A Little Hello

Hope you all had a wonderful Holiday time with your family and friends. I am a bit sad that it is over, I love Christmas time with its secrets and huzzle and buzzle ... but there will always be next year (lol). And for now I am just saying a little hello

 with Deacon from  Bugaboo sitting on his Candy cane. Isn't he cute?

coloured with Copics, 

layered on lots of patterend paper (Jillibean Soup, My Mind's Eye, October Afternoon) and Kraft card,

embellished with a little wooden star and a stamped sentiment from Elzybells.

This card is my project for Vicki's 'Anything Goes' challenge on the Cheerful Stamp Pad blog. For more wonderful inspiration please do pop over and hopefully you can join us! Petra.

Lunagirl - Retro Shopping

Here in the UK lots of people are in the SALE fever and I thought I share with you a tag card with a Retro feel which I made quite a while ago for one of the Lunagirl Moonbeams challenges. I started by cutting a tag card from Kraft paper. I covered the front page of the card with Teresa Collins patterned paper and then added a digitally collaged background with lots of images from one of the Lunagirl Moonbeams collage sheets: Retro Housewives collage sheet

  

 The focal point for the card is another image from the same collage sheet layered on Kraft card and Teresa Collins paper. As embellishment I used a little retro button and some button twine.

 

For the inside I used more patterend paper and a printed sentiment

  

Have a good start into the new week, Petra.

Lunagirl - Angel Candle

I have always been in awe when seeing these wonderfully decorated candles .... using tissue paper, stamping, and all. I eventually was brave enough to give it a go. I first printed one of Lunagirl Moonbeam's amazing angel images on tissue paper. The printing worked really well. And then I attached it to the candle. This worked sort of well .... the tissue paper crankled slightly but the longer I looked at it the more I liked the look. It has a bit of a distressed crackled feel to it

And I will definitely give it another try, enjoy your weekend, Petra.

Cheerful Monday #40 - Some Little Presents

Hi to everyone! I hope you all had a lovely and enjoyable Christmas time with your families and friends. i tis my first day back at work today, most colleagues are still on holidays and it is very quiet. I quite like it like this, it is a good time to tidy up a little bit and get ready for the New Year. I realized that a lot of projects I created I have not shred yet and thought I might start today ....
These are some little Match Books I made with some leftover papers and just a little bit of decoration

  

Inside the books I attached some sheets of plain white paper for writing notes

This is part of Vicki's last challenge of the year: Anything goes. Hope you can join us for the fun and show us what you created ! Have a lovely day, Petra.

Happy Holidays!

I wish you all and your families and friends

a wonderful Merry Christmas,

enjoy peaceful and very Happy Holidays!

Stay safe and warm wherever you are, take care
