Dutch Dare Challenge #21: Black-Pink and Purple
This morning I've been very sporty. My car needed to go to the garage for it's yearly check-up, so I took it there after dropping the kids at school and had to walk back.
Enough exercise for today. Now it's time for some blogging and cardmaking.
This weeks challenge over at the Dutch Dare Challenge is another colourcombo challenge.
We want you to use Black - Pink and Purple on your card.
There's a cute Rachelle Anne Miller stamp donated by the Scrapbookatelier for one lucky lady this week.
This week another christmas card. Wasn't planning on making one for the challenge on the Dutch Dare, but I had the perfect papers and flowers to match the challenge.
For this card I've used a sketch from Nikki, the perfect one for the stamp and papers.
Card Details:
Papers: Cardstock: Bazzill, DP - DCWV
Stamp: Magnolia
Technique: Pro-markers and a lot of Stickles
Embellishments: Beautifull flowers from Prima, gemstones were a gift from Linda

I've been tagged
Things I love:
1. Hubby Ron and my 2 beautifull girls Ruby and Britt (don't had to think about that).
2. I love to read books about Egypt.
3. I love to go on holliday trips far away. ( but I think that won't happen again untill the girls are much bigger).
4. I love to watch science fiction series like Stargate, Stargate Atlantis and Star Strek (even the old ones with Captain Kirk)
5. I love to go to amusements parcs with Ron and kids, and see them having the time of their lives.
Things I don't love
1. Fights between the girls.
2. Winter, it's cold and wet and dark at 4 pm.
3. Drunk people ( ironic, because I work on a bowlingcentre where people drink lots of alcohol).
4. Being mad at one another for no reason.
5. Shopping on Fridays or Saturdays (way to busy)
Favorite Food/Drinks
1. Coca-Cola
2. Baileys on the rocks
3. Chocolate
4. Drop. I think only know in Holland and Belgium, and it's just as bad as chocolate. I'm sorry for all you other girls, but you really don't know what you're missing.
5. Potatoes, vegetables and meat ( very healthy).
Songs on your Ipod/playlist
I don't have a Ipod (way to modern) or a playlist, but here a my favorites
1. I love music of the 80's

3. Michael Buble
5. lots and lots more

My first Whiff Of Joy Christmas Card
And because I finally know this hyperlink thing works I can enter this weeks challenge.
It took me forever to finish this card. The girls are free from school this week so I'm spending a lot of time with them doing all kinds of things. And because our little dwarfs are on a very long holliday I have to do the house keeping myself. I love autumn, but only when it's dry. The girls are playing outside a lot but with all the rain they keep running in and out of the house without putting of their shoes. I keep cleaning the floor and wished the little dwarfs would come back from their holliday.
Card Details:
Paper: cardstock - Color Core DP - downloads from Summertimedesigns
Stamp: Whiff of joy ( a great b-day gift from my good friend Mada , sentiment Fancy Pants

I'm a year older today :(
As many of you know I'm celebrating my 36th birthday today.
I also received a lot of great birthdaycards from members of the Birthday list and The Dutch Yahoo Magnolia Group. I will put those in a slideshow in the next few days.
The second card I want to show you is also from a good friend: Linda.
And that's not all she did send me: I got two great christmas stamps, christmaspapers, flowers and ribbon.
Thank you Linda, your the best.
