Hi everyone! I'm gonna be honest, this was a tough one. I simply had TOO MANY IDEAS. My best friend thinks I have ADHD or that I'm neurodivergent at least. I have no idea, but reels on instagram agree with her.  Anyways, back to my card!  This is my interpretation of today's sketch. I just bought the leaf mix die set from altenew. It was an absolute a*****e to find, but I managed to buy it from a webshop in Belgium: Card Nouveau . The sentiment is in Dutch and means: "I am thinking of you". I can't wait to see what your interpretation of our sketch is! Please submit your card at AAA Cards Challenge Blog . Liefs, Marlies

 SPRING! I longed for it. I still do, because where I live autumn takes up about 3/4 of the year... The thing I love most about spring are probably all te baby animals that are born this time of year. For this challenge I used these lovely stamps from Heffy Doodle, alcohol markers and distress ink. My trick was using masking tape to protect the pad from the distress ink. What do you love about spring? Will you join us at AAA Cards Challenge Blog ? Liefs, Marlies

 I really like to make masculine cards, because I discovered a big secret a few years ago: men love handmade cards. It's not even about the general look of a card, they simply really appreciate the effort. In my experience, even generally grumpy men will enjoy receiving a handmade card. For this AAA Cards Challenge I decided to make a masculine card with our sketch. As you can see, I "mirrored" the sketch to make this card. I used stamps of "old" cars and heat embossed those with WOW embossing powder and VersaMark ink.  Do you make masculine cards often? Liefs, Marlies

 Mijn lieve schoonvader is maandag jarig en hij wordt alweer 63 jaar! Inmiddels is het een beetje traditie dat ik de verjaardagskaart bij het gezamenlijke cadeau maak bij mijn schoonfamilie en het wordt altijd zeer gewaardeerd, ook door de heren. Het papier is "Mr. Fix It" van Mintay.  Deze kaart doet mee aan de volgende challenges: - Challenge "maart 2024" van Cheerful Sketches Challenge Blog; - Challenge #84: cijfer op je kaart van 2 Sister on the Blog; - Patterned Paper Challenge van Double D Challenges. Worden de kaarten die jij voor mensen maakt ook zo gewaardeerd? Liefs, Marlies
