Kaartje voor Moeders Hobbypaleis

Vandaag aan de slag gegaan met een kaartje met een nieuwe magnolia stempel.

Dinsdag langs geweest bij Moeders Hobbypaleis. Een hele gezellige hobbywinkel waar je ogen en tijd tekort komt! En wat staat daar veel te gebeuren zeg. Vanaf

4 april is de winkel dicht en wordt er flink verbouwd!

En dan gaan de deuren weer open op Maandag 24 April!

Ik ben dan gevraagd om die dag een demo met copic markers toe komen doen...

En dat vindt ik een hele eer en erg leuk!

Ik hoop dat jullie dan ook allemaal langs komen om deze opening mee te vieren. Er staan leuke acties op het programma.

Dus gisteren langs geweest om wat door te nemen en ik heb wat materiaal meegekregen

om wat voorbeeldkaarten mee te maken...

Wel hier is het eerste kaartje dan

Spring has Sprung: Flowers

Oh the weather here is absolutly stunning. Warm sunny days and it's a joy to be outside!

All the leaves are starting to grow on the trees and they all get that glims of green over them!

And the flowers.. they really pop out everywhere... 

And for me that is an extra joy! I live in the village with the largest flower garden of Europe! From all over the world people come to visit my little town to see those spring flowers bloom! And the fields around my village are filled with narcissus and tulips and hyacinths... really a festivity of smells and colors!

So this weeks theme at the Michelle Perkett Challenge Blog is straight to my heart!

FLOWERS!

This card is in the shape of a Tulip. You can find this fantastic cutting file/template 

at Cards Etc. Shop HERE

Jolanda made this stunning shaped card and it's a fun template/cutting file to work with!

The image in this card is Amore Fairy from Michelle Perkett and you can find her 

in the STORE of Michelle!

I colored her with Copic markers and used stickles in her wings.

Hope you all come over and join this fun challenges and win one of Michelle's images!

Versatile blogger award twice!

Last two weeks have been a true rollercoaster for me.. there were hard times when I felt so down and out. Thought that I was really a dumb and difficult person to be around with...

and then I discovered.. that this thought didn't make any sense.

And when you are around people that give you this feeling... it's time to close that door and move forward in life. Not an easy decision... but when I took it...the relief in my heart told me

that it was the right decision.

My very best friend, Paul, told me once.. that if one door closes another one will open for you....

and to my suprise that is what is happening to me right now....

One of the doors that opened was that I got the Versatile Blogger award from my dear friend Pauline. I was suprised and so thankful for receiving this award from her! 

Pauline is my teammie at Michelle Perkett Blog and we are in our second term there. She is an adorable Aussie with magnificent work on her blog!

And now guess what.... yesterday I got a second Versatile Blogger from Naush!

Naush... you live at the other side of the world... our worlds met through the internet... and you make the most stunning and creative things with just trash! 

Thank you for giving me this award! 

*********

Now to the part of the rules coming with this award...

* Thank the person that gave me this award! (Did that)

* tell 7 things about me! (really sharing my inside feelings here)

* pay this award forward to 15 other people that I care for with my whole heart!

*******

1. I'm a single Mom and I love it. Don't need a man to be happy!

2. I love cats, but hope to get a helping dog soon in my home to help me with things that I can't do myself.

3. I still can be so insecure about the work that I make...

4. I'm honored and proud to be in the DT's that I'm in!

5. I'm proud on myself on how I raised my kids and how they turned out! (we had some really tough times and got out stronger and closer)

6. I love my two teens to death! They mean the world to me and they make me proud on the decisions they make!

7. I'm so glad that I meet so many fantastic, creative, fun and loving people trough my hobby and the internet!

*****

Lydia (for being such a fantastic and true friend)

Janneke (my dear friend and crafty inspiration)

Margreet (you are a sweetie)

Michelle (for the fantastic images you make)

Shelly (for giving me my first chance!)

I got the new Silhouette!

After saving money and giving demo with Copic Markers and Aqua Markers....

I got a brand new Silhouette SD...

And I have to say... I'm so happy with it.

Enige weken geleden is mijn oude trouwe silhouette gesneuveld en voelde ik me toch zo ontzetten onthand... Wat doe ik dan onbewust veel met die machine...

Dus zat er niets anders op dan heel hard sparen en alle dubbeltjes ervoor opzij te leggen.

En gisteren was het dan zover.... ik kon de nieuwe Silhouette SD kopen!!!

En nu staat hij dan uitgepakt en klaar op de tafel...

Nu de handleiding doorlezen en alle nieuwe snufjes en nieuwe software leren en gaan spelen ermee.

Ik heb mijn Silhouette gekocht bij Creabest. In de doos zit ook meteen een mooie ingebonden

Nederlandstalige handleiding met uitleg van de machine en het mooie nieuwe software programma. Hiermee kan ik dus gelijk veel meer ervaring opdoen en nog meer vertrouwd raken met de silhouette SD.

Dat noem ik nog eens grote service van ze!

Lieve groetjes

Terug van de Knotsgekke kaartendagen in Zwolle

Vandaag weer thuis gekomen van drie hele leuke en gezellige dagen in Zwolle.

Ik heb vele van jullie op de beurs aan mijn demo tafel bij Creabest mogen verwelkomen. Ik vond het zo leuk om jullie te zien en spreken en vooral ook om weer een stapje verder op weg te helpen met Copic Markers en Aquamarkers. 

Dank jullie wel voor alle lieve en aardige complimenten die ik heb gekregen. Ik hoop jullie de volgende keer weer te zien en te spreken.

Verder mocht ik gisteravond gelukkig nog bij mijn teamgenootje Lydia slapen zodat ik vanochtend uitgerust naar Lisse kon rijden. 

Lydia... dank je wel hoor meis... dat was absoluut super...

En als klap op de vuurpijl kreeg ik donderdag ook nog eens deze waanzinnig creatieve en mooie kaart van haar. Gevuld met zoooo iets lekkers.... mmmmmmm

(jij mag vaker bij mij logeren hoor ;-) )

Dank je wel voor het langskomen en het achterlaten van een berichtje.

Liefs

Marion
