Marvelous Monday at Shelly's Images

Today it is another Marvelous Monday!

Goodmorning to you all... It's monday again... My son is finished with his finals and now he has to wait a long time to hearing the results... so till then he will be home, gaming, working his weekend job during his holiday and be a bit nervous...

My Daughter is going to Graduate in September.. So lucky for me I don't have to split myself in two pieces to be at both their school at the same time.

But back to some crafting.... today is Monday... and at

Shelly's Images there is a new release..
And since I will be the DT leader for all week I have the honor to show you this wonderful newbie.

This is a beautiful image drawn by guest artist (and Shelly's daughter) Meghann.  It is perfect for Father's Day or any masculine card.  This image is perfect to be used with our "Dock" image (coming friday as an extra release) and our "Fishing Freebies" (to be released Friday as well).

And don't forget to go there today, cause it will be just on a discount today. So for the fabulous price of $ 2.00 you can call this fish yours.

The great thing of this image is that it can be used for so many occasions. Of course for Fathers Day, but how about a card for your loved one with this sentiment on it.

And there are so many more possibilities that I will be showing you this week.

So stay tuned to the blog of Shelly's Images and over here to see more.

Truth or Dare

Truth or Dare 

Yesterday and today my computar is playing tricks with me at getting onto the internet and doing my daily bloghop to my fellow DT members of all the DT teams I'm in. I know that takes a 1,5 hour of my morning.. but then I have the feeling that my day can begin. LOL

And today I hopped to Jovita and found this wonderful Truth or Dare game at Pieces of Me.

So... I take the DARE....

Imagine this... I craft in my livingroom on the dinnertable.. and ever since we don't eat there anymore.. Just with a plate on our lap in front of the TV. (I know, very bad) But even that table isn't big enough... cause I even put everything around me on the floor... 

The fun part is that my kids never complain that I'm not there... ROFLOL..

It cuts both ways.

Hope you like this little glimps into my life over here in the Netherlands.

Thanks for looking and leaving a lovely comment.

Just like Dad

Just like Dad layout with Filekutz border.

For several weeks I'm missing my mojo for scrapping. Somehow is making cards and scrapping to different kind of Mojo's. I wonder if I'm to only one that has to deal with that... And since I have an assignment for making an album for a lovely couple that is going to be wed in September I have to work on it.

But I don't know the couple.. so getting into my feelings and let them make the work I have to rely on just my crafting. Does that make sense to you?

Well anyway.... This is the first layout I made and the border with hearts is made with the FreebieFile is from FileKutz by LisaJane. You can find this wonderful Freebie HERE

Please take a look at our other blog there as well and see the wonderful work of my fellow DT Members Kelly and Diane.

Special Request

This card is for a special RAK request for Jayme.

Lisa Cook is having this call for a special RAK request for her Sister. When I read this post I knew I had to jump in and make something for her sister Jayme. I have been in the hospital several times for a long time and I know myself what a great gift a card can be.

So here is her post: 

I am having a special event for my sister Jayme. She is in her early 50's and has terminal lung cancer. To make it worse, her sweet dachshund Molly passed away a couple weeks ago. Today we learned her cancer has spread to several other areas and her time is running out. I am asking for all my card making friends to send her a fun card...not really get well cards obviously, but something pretty or funny that will make her smile. She is a frog collector so frog cards would be awesome! I have been blessed by all those I design for to have a wonderful offer of blog candy. Details are below on how to enter. I will choose a winner June 2nd.

For this special request she also made a special stamp that is a freebie. So go over HERE to see more details and help her with this special request.

This is what I made for Jayme:

Lot's of sunshine on a tough day.

I got the Sunshine Award!!!!

I had a tough day in court today and was down and out about it. 

And when I read the message from Rachel and went to her Blog I was stunned. And there is written again...

She choose me to be one of the twelve recipients who she wanted to give this reward too.

I think it's a great honor when a fellow crafter appreciates your work of art and acknowledges it!

It gives me wings, wings that bring me to higher evolution in crafting and creating more and better work.x

Rachel I thank you for giving me this wonderful Sunshine Award and I feel so honored for getting this from you. I love your work and it inspires me to keep working on better and newer techniques and makes me enjoying the crafting even more.

Thanks again my Friend 

Love

Marvelous Monday at Shelly's Images

Another Marvelous Monday at Shelly's Images
and Freebie at FileKutz by LisaJane

Although the month May is giving me that fabulous spring feeling and the knowlegde that summer is on it's way it still can have it's rainy and cloudy days sometimes. And the new image of Shelly's Images put's the both of these so well in one image. I just love this one. The umbrella with mayflowers,  and if you turn it above your head it will be raining flowers all day and you would have a perfect day.

And to make your day even better... Just for today this wonderful image comes with a discount.

And strolling through the store of Filekutz by LisaJane I found this wonderfull file with a flower mesh juble background and border.

And I love it. This file is so easy to resize and use. It cuts out nice and clean and since the TTT challenge at Shelly's Images is running with a white background and no other papers I decided to use the flower background from filekutz as a stencil and with the colors victorian velvet and fired brick by Tim Holz I stamped this background.

The beautiful swirl is also from Filekutz by LisaJane and is available as a freebie this month. 

This card is also for the following challenges:

First design for Filekutz

First design for Filekutz by LisaJane

I would like to present my First design for FileKutz by LisaJane. I just love her designs. Her creations are so joyful and great. And the other great part is that you can resize them so easily and adjust them to any project you want to use them for. This is the first time I worked with a file from FileKutz and I have to say they cut out so fine. Just in one time they come out of the paper. And that is a superb Job. I had some bad experiences with other files. But these come out so nice and clean. A true joy to work with.

Last night I got an email from my friend asking me to make a special card for her. Her friend got a little baby boy and she would love a card made by me to give. So what a great opportunity to use this file from FileKutz. If you go the Filekutz Blog and join us as a member you can get this file for free.

So make sure you get there while this offer still is running.
