Mission accomplished! After several months I finally reorganised my desk. My own stamp display is the centrepiece off my desk now. But I was truly astonished how fast it was full. I bought this beautiful display when a nearby stamp shop had to close last year.

I’m still not finished reorganising but at least I can work on my desk again and now have a much better overview over the most important part of my stash. With such a tiny space you always find something to optimise.

This year I had enough time to make a valentines card for my hubby. He was really excited.

Again 2 challenges inspired me to this card. The most obvious one was from Caardvarks who just had the rule to use a heart on the card. (Challenge post) This is not hard when doing a valentines card. The second was the 102. Sketch-Challenge by CPS.

And here comes the card:

Not everything turned out as expected but it seldom does. Nevertheless I like the card. The saying says: “You have the key to my heart.” (more…)

My Granny’s 80th birthday is soon and for her card I was inspired by two blog challenges. The first one is from A Spoon Full of Sugar and  it is called “Doodle Doo“. The second one is from Everybody Art Challenge and is named “Tag“.

The following card is the result of both:

Such a challenge is really handy for forming a first idea of a card. From there on the imagination just flows.

Especially the doodling was a lot of fun and easier than I expected. I guess I will use it more often from now on. (more…)
