Hey! Where I'm from, we don't actually celebrate Halloween. We do have a similar holiday though. In The Netherlands we celebrate Saint Martin on the 11th of November. On the evening of November 11th, children carry lanterns and go from door to door singing Saint Martin Songs in exchange for candy or fruit.  I can't wait till my son is old enough to go!   I did make this rather cute Halloween card for our challenge over at AAA Cards Challenge blog . Are you brave enough to join us? Liefs,  Marlies  

 You guys!!! How fun is this sketch? As you can see on our blog, AAA Cards Challenge , there are so many ways you can interpret this challenge sketch. I can't wait to see yours! The stamp set I used is " Clear stamps Gears & Bikes - Gearhead's Workshop nr. 673". Liefs, Marlies

Hey there, holiday hobbyist! This challenge I decided to make a sunny holidays card in the shape of... a postcard! To make the ink stick on the patterned paper that I turned into a "stamp", I used VersaMark, embossing powder and my heat gun. It's actually a bit shiny! Will you join our challenge at AAA Cards ?

 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
