 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

 Hi everyone! For this challenge I decided to go for a lovely girly card. Is it summer-ish? The most important thing is, it is CAS! Clean And Simple! The stamp with coordinating dies is from Studio Light, I think. I used distress ink (kitsch flamingo) for the background. The sentiment is from Marianne Design.

 Hi everyone!  Here I am -again- with a masculine card! But this time it was the optional twist, sooo.... I used low tech tape to shield the card, except the bottom part. I have a stamp set with cars and tools. I used one tool stamp to create the bottom pattern.  The circle stamp and matching dies are from Studio Light ( CCL-ES-CD731 and  CCL-ES-STAMP563). I placed the sentiment where it is, because that's where I smudged some ink with my fingers, ahem. What kind of CAS card will you make?

 Yay! Another sketch challenge at AAA Cards Challenge Blog ! I didn't really feel like creating my own wreath from scratch, so I decided to go the lazy way. The best thing about this clever design, if I do say so myself, is that I didn't have to colour the entire stamp, just the edges. I used alcohol markers and it was a lot of fun! The stamp is in Dutch and it means: "is it your birthday again?". The stamps I used:  Clear stamps Party buttons - Essentials nr. 563. The die I used:  Cutting die Nested circles - Essentials nr. 731. Will you join our challenge?  Liefs, Marlies

 Are you married or are you sensible? I love my husband so much, I would totally catch a bullet for him (and complain about te pain later). But man, aren't men weird?! They like sports like boxing and cycling and that just does not make any sense. And they believe women make no sense. I don't get it!  My husband is a fine specimen by the way. He is rather tall and helps around the house. He can fix almost everything, even though it might take a year or four. He is a great dad and an amazing spouse. Yeah. I won the husband lottery. We're married two years this year, but we've known each other for eleven years now. We met in a bar, on the dancefloor and dated for a bit then. He didn't want anything serious at the time but "wanted to stay friends". I told him "I've got plenty of friends" and we went our separate ways. That was ten years ago.  Six or seven years ago I started thinking about him A LOT again and decided it was time to be bold. I kn...

 Wij hebben lieve vrienden die een tweede kindje verwachten! Voor hen maakte ik deze kaart. Er loopt nog geen "pooltje" in onze vriendengroep, maar ik denk dat ze een meisje gaan krijgen. De oranje vlek is gemaakt met water en drie kleuren Distress Ink en het gouden deel is gemaakt met het stencil van Studio Light,  Mask stencil Arabesque arch - JMA Warm & cozy nr. 57 , en Lunar Paste van Simon Hurley. Deze kaart doet mee aan de volgende challenge: Challenge #250 van AAA Cards Challenge : Colorful Inkblending Liefs,  Marlies

Het is altijd leuk en bijzonder als mensen gaan samenwonen of verhuizen. Wat wens je mensen dan? Veel succes? Ouch... Nee! Ik wens mensen vrijwel altijd VEEL GELUK. Deze kaart maakte ik voor Challenge #377 van Dutch Card Lovers . Jullie raden vast nooit wat mijn andere hobby is... De kaart bevat een hint! Liefs, Marlies
