Big red flower

Hello :)

 Do you gave a forgiveness with your family today? (for those of you who are not bulgarians I want to explain, that today we have a holiday here in Bulgaria. On this day younger people ask older for forgiveness and the whole family gets together. On this day in my town we also have a tradition to set an enormous fires for a good health and to banish all bad things)

Now for the card. I love how it turns out. I made such a flower for a first time and I like it. I used Cardabilities lovely sketch. I own all of my inspiration for this card on it :)

Thanks for visiting and comments

See you soon

Xoxo, Maria

Hello and welcome to my first post as a Sketch n' Dies DT member. I'm so excited :)

This month we have a small change in our rules. We decided to make our challenge twice a month. The new challenges will be announced on 1st and 15th of every month. 

This week we have a very inspiring sketch. I want to make cards with it over and over again. Do you like it? Click on the photo to visit the current challenge. You have time until March, 13th to play with us, so come on. Let us see your wonderful creations.

Not just the sketch is awesome but the sponsor too. It's Luna Girl with her gorgeous images. She has given to us 10 beautiful images which are the winners price, too. Yummy, huh :)

I decided to use the lovely blue butterfly and here is what I came up with. 

This photo is on a bulb light

Hello, friends! How are you today? 

I have busy days this week. And I'm preparing for the upcoming holidays here in Bulgaria.

И говорейки за България, имам един въпрос към българските читатели на блога ми - искате ли да започна да пиша публикациите и на български? Не че пиша кой знае какво де, все не намирам време, честно да си кажа, за дълги публикации, но все пак може и да искате да ги пиша и на български. Ще се радвам да чуя вашето мнение

And now for the card - this one is also for Мър-Мяу 28 - Стари, но златни (Oldies but Goldies). My friend asked me if  I can make two exactly the same cards and he also wanted to be just like my previous one. Luckily I have the same papers and laces, and just the ribbon is different. I also change the swirls a little and added gems on the top of the lace. 

This is the old one. Which you like more?

Now, I'm going to make my first DT card for Dies N' Sketches. 

N'a pas de sens...

Hello :) 

I'm here to share you one card I made for Valentine's day for my best friend. Well, it's not the tipically Valentine card but this is just the right for her. I had a call from her an hour ago  telling me how much she love it. I even could see her smiling at me and feel her happiness and excitement. She made me so so happy, too. 

I'm adding photos of my past card that she love because I used it as an inspiration. It's my favorite card, too. She is standing on my desk since I made it and every day I look at  it and smiling. I don't know why... I even don't have a sentimental feeling about Paris or something. But I love that card! Maybe it's because All of the emotions I put on it.

I want to enter this card in:

•  'Мър-Мяу - Забавлятелство 28 - Стари, но златни (Oldies but goldies)' 
• Card Mania Challenges - Use a sentiment

Here I am again :)

Hey, Friends, HELLO! 

I'm really excited because now I'm writing a new post - a thing that I've not been doing since a long time. It's seems to me that it has been a decade. But now I'm fresh, I'm happy, I'm full with energy and positive thoughts, I'm full with inspiration and creativity! I'm even jumping on my chair (lol).

Love is the answer - Mojo238

Hello!

I've just found out that I wasn't post my Mojo Monday card yet. I made it three days agoy (yes, at Monday) and I have no idea how I was forgot to post it. And here it is. I love these squares and I knew exactly what I want to do. During the time I made this card Simeon came to me and when he saw the squares he said 'WOW, this squares are amazing'. Than I started to explain him the idea for the card but he stopped me and said that he  love the layout so much that he want to see the card already finished. Well, he didn't see it yet (except at these pictures that you can see, too) but I know that he'll like it more alive. The feathers are natural and they are absolutely gorgeous and soft when you touch them. 

 For the flower I was inspired by the amazing Andrea's rosette. Firstly, I would use a different rosette, but that I saw that I have this white ribbon and decided to made a flower with it. But when it was done something missing.. I started to put some things over it but nothing matches the way I wanted to. And here is Andrea's inspirational part. I coated the edges with Copper Stickles and put this lovely piece of bracelet for a center. The swirls under the flower are Marianne D die-cutting. I cut off six of them and grouped them like a circle. Than I decorated with two natural feathers and two handmade pins.

The DP is from Far Far Hill. I cut it into 3x3 sm squares and layered them over a saddle brown cardstock and a bandage. The little tag is from Far Far Hill, too and it says 'Love is the answer'. And the buttons are from my supplies. 

Go Team - 2SDT

Hello!

And happy Monday everyone! How was your weekend? I spend a lot of time in workouts. And of course - I didn''t study enough. Hope to do it today. But when I look through the window and see the happy sun outside.. and when a warm breeze waft through the door of my balcony.. tell me.. how can I study? 

Even now I'm preparing to go out and climb the near mountain. And during my tea time I decided to wrote this post and show you my card for 2 Sisters. Our theme this week is to use digi.. isn't so hard, is it? We are sponsored by Robyn's Fetish and Di's Digi downloads. For my card I decided to use this 'Go Team' image. I colored it with my pencils. 

............Wow, I have to go now, because some peoples are already waiting for me to go.. I'll finish this post after I came back and take a looonngg shower :) 

Anna Neverending album

Hello friends.

How is your weekend? I have to study these days because I have an exam on 25th. And I have a lot of other school stuff to do. I have no idea how I'll manage to do all of them. Meanwhile, I have other things to do. So, it's going to be very busy and intense days. Wish me luck :) 

My project today is one Neverending car. But in my case it's more neverending album :) I made it as a gift to one little baby girl. I wanted to use non-traditional girl colors and that's why I picked orange and burgundy. The paper is classy and vintage and I love it. I so this kind of card for the first time .. and that's our challenge this week at Crafts 4 Eternity -  Something new which means that you could do a new project, a new theme, a new technique, a new item or whatever the word 'NEW' means to you. 

I didn't have a chance to take pictures to the album with photos on it. And it looks a little empty this way, but actually it turns out very pretty. And the pictures of the little sweet Anna were gorgeous on it. 

I'm having so much fun doing this neverending album so I surely will do it again and again and again. I think that I like this kind of project more as an album than as a card. I hope that the other time I made one I can show you with the pictures on it, so you can tell me what do you think. :)

Bye bye for now. See you a few hours later with my card for 2 Sisters. 

Hugs
