Create Along With Us means : Create your  own Version from a Card that has inspired you during Papertrey Ink´s Release week. I have the “Simply Sunflower” Stamp Set and have not use for a long time and that is why Keeway Tsao´s card below has been an inspiration for my card. I mix it with “Birthday Bash” Sentiments.

Make it Monday # 294 – H B 2 U

mycraftyplace8 Comments

It’s been a while since I’ve been creative. Changes at work, vacation, summer – something always comes between. The right swing is still missing, but the card is a start. Es ist eine Weile her, das ich kreativ gewesen bin. Veränderungen auf der Arbeit, Urlaub, Sommer – irgendetwas kommt ja immer dazwischen. Der richtige Schwung fehlt noch, aber die Karte ist ein Anfang.

Stephanie came up his week with PTI’s Make It Monday Challenge: “Monochrome Color Pop”. Check out the Video here. I picked the Initial Sentiment Birthday Stamp Set and made a masculine birthday card since I always have so little of. Stephanie kommt diese Woche “Make it Monday # 294″ mit dem Thema : Einfarbig mit einem Farbtupfer”. Das Video könnt Ihr hier sehen. Ich habe das “Initial Sentiment Birthday Stamps Set” gewählt und eine maskuline Geburtstagskarte gestaltet. Davon habe ich immer so wenig.

I went with earthy colors and my color pop is Tropical Teal. Ich habe erdige Töne gewählt und mein Farbtupfer ist türkis.

  • Stamp: PTI Initial Sentiments:Birthday

Sad farewell…..

I´ve got the sad news that my lovely friend Faith, Illustrator and Owner from {From the Heart Stamps} has passed away. As many of you know, Faith was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2016 and had been in treatment since then. After a courageous battle she died peacefully in a care facility.

I´ve been with Faith since 2012 and and was very honored to got a Position in her Designteam. Since then, we had a wonderful respectful and creative time – together with the entire Team. I will miss it very much. Everyone who knew Faith, knows what a great Person she was.  Even if I have never met her personally, I have lost a wonderful “Online Friend”. She will always have a special place in my heart.

There is a GoFundMe campaign to support her husband and children. They will use the money for expenses, college funds, or whatever else come up during this difficult time. I think that is a great thing.

 

 

I think the most popular images that Faith has created were the Birdbrains. This card I made some time ago and all the more now, this saying is perfect for what I feel when I think of Faith.

 

Gerda Steiner – July 2017

mycraftyplace7 Comments

This is my take for Gerda Steiner´s progressive Challenge. For July we got “Strawberry Mouse” to work with. Perfect Image for summery Cards. I´ve hoarded this Strawberry DP from Basic Grey – it´s time to use it because it´s there to use it, right ? Das ist mein Beitrag für Gerda Steiner´s progressive Herausforderung. Für Juli haben wir “Strawberry Mouse” bekommen. Perfekt für sommerliche Karten. Diese Erdbeerpapier von Basic Grey habe ich gehütet – es ist Zeit es zu benutzen denn dafür ist es da, richtig ?

If you are not taking part – jump in at any time – just purchase this month image, join in the Challenge and you get next month image for FREE. Isn´t that great ? Du machst noch nicht mit ? Steig ein zu jeder Zeit – einfach diesen Digistempel kaufen, an der Challenge teilnehmen und für den nächsten Monat bekommst Du den Stempel gratis !

Papertrey Ink – Circled Symbols

mycraftyplace11 Comments

I made this card  with Papertrey Ink´s “Circled Symbols” for my nephew 12th birthday. I have chosen colorful, bright colors and since he speaks English I thought a little word game would be cool.  Ich habe diese Karte für den 12. Geburtstag meines Neffen gemacht. Ich habe mich für bunte, knallige Farben entschieden und da er Englisch spricht auch für ein kleines Wortspiel.
