Birthday times

They just keep happening at the moment so I am trying to keep up with it (which I don't - so much for my New Years resolutions). This time it is a little boy that will turn four in a few days. And these are the challenges I took for inspiration:

Charisma Cardz Challenge wants it clean and simple so I tried my best to do that (not easy for Mrs. Distressing). I chose the sketch of Simon Says Stamp for it. Since it does have a button, I will also take part in the Papertake Weekly Challenge. And since "Anything goes" with Paperminutes I will jump in there as well.

And that's the result of this evenings work:

EDIT wants to say something too (Challenge teams please read):

Blogspot has a problem with the comments so I had a hard time putting my comments down on the sites or sometimes even open the special challenge posts. Since everything kept freezing I stopped trying and linked to the main blogpage only.

There is a bug and it's being worked on I read but in the meantime use the workaround: Change your comment settings (design-settings-posts&comments) to either fullscreen or pop-up. It'll work fine then - at least it did with my blog.

Inbetweens

Had to make some things since right before Christmas that was just for fun (no challenges involved) - like these:

For the kids of a friend - nice bookmarks too

 or I took the sketch, made a card - and did not get around to post and participate - like these:

For my Godchild (she's 15)

For a friend - certain size for holding a voucher

But even though, they do belong to my little collection here...

But as I write that, the last one is just over a week old and it's got the Carisma Cardz Challenge theme (without the 3 as a number though) and so I might just as well jump in there with it.

Special Birthday

My friend turned 30 on Friday 13th... uuuh, scary. And a reason to make a special card (as she is into witches and stuff anyway).

So I took the sketch of Kartenallerlei, chose the colours of Night-Shift-Stamping and the theme of Charisma Cardz Challenge (plus a few "3"s as this is part of the date AND the age) - et voilà there it is:

Sadly my normal glue was empty so I took the kids one - and it got messy... Uhu and I are just not made for each other...
