happy birthday

Today it's my dad birthday....he would have been 82 (he was 18 years older than my mom...how about that!). I can't help but think of him every day because I can see so much of him in my kids especially my oldest.

Since it's Thursday and I like to do #tbt (throw back thursday) on instagram and it's my dad's birthday I wanted to share this photo of my father in a wedding party. I drew an arrow to point him out...handsome fella! 

The girl infront of him is his sister (my aunt).

I miss them both.

I had this Little Miss Mia image coloured for a while which came in handy this morning when I was starring at my background I stamped  and coloured (using my Doodle Flowers II stamp set). I coloured using my Graph'it markers.

Daffodils - SALE!

 Hello!

I hope you all had a lovely weekend!

It's a beautiful sunny spring day and it made me reach for my Daffodils stamp set.

Then I thought...why have a Daffodils stamp set SALE! This whole week Daffodils will be 15% Off!

 I didn't have a lot of time this morning so I used my water colours to make the background and once it was dry I stamped the daffodils onto it. SIMPLE!

I heat embossed the sentiment with white embossing powder.

happy birthday

Hello!

Hope you all had a lovely weekend!

I saw this gorgeous card on pinterest by the lovely Laura and tried to make something similar. I was too lazy to go and sew along the top so I stapled it...didn't like it so I covered it with washi tape.

The donut is part of a set I'm working on. I coloured it with my Graph'it markers. The sentiment is a SRM sticker.

happy birthday

Hi!

I have a couple of birthday's this month....this simple card is one that I'll be sending out all the way to China!! Again sorry about the photo's...I don't have a camera and take all photos with my phone. I also take them early in the morning and the lighting is often not very good. Good news is that I plan on buying a camera soon which means hopefully better photos AND video tutorials!! :)

This is another little sneak peek of something new coming soon!

I coloured my cupcake with Graph'it markers and added some 'sprinkles' using a glue easily found here in Croatia that dare I say it is almost exactly the same as Glossy Accents! It's called Schmuckstein Kleber by Hobby Line.

And here's another sneak peek! :) Ribbit!

party time

 Hello!

Hope all is well! :)

I've mentioned before that when I've lost my mojo I like to stamp a bunch of images and colour them in (and cut them out) so that they're ready for use...comes in handy when I need a quick card like this one.

For this card I used my Mr. and Mrs. Claus and Cheers stamp sets. I created a quick background by using my Graph'it marker in 7210 (colouring in circular motions)....easy peasy!  I adhered Mrs. Claus using some foam dots for dimension (the reason I didn't put her in a 'Christmas' outfit is I figured she's be great for card for grandma's etc.

Added a little silver glitter (with my Graph'it Shake marker)...because she's ready for a party and you gotta have yo glitter on! :)

Have a great day!

Father's Day recap + card

Hello!
I hope you all had a lovely weekend!

For Father's Day we spent the afternoon at Maksimir park (love going there). Marko and Mia rode their bikes and hung out in the park while Jakov and Adrian played soccer of coarse! :) Mia got to test drive her new bike that she choose herself...pink of coarse! :)

I also have a card to share today....I had a few flowers I had stamped and cut out from previous projects (that I didn't end up using) and they were laying on my desk clustered together and looking at them I thought ...wow..that's pretty! :) Don't you love when that happens...by accident! :)

I used my Pretty Peonies, Roses, Cube It, Autumn Blessings and a brand new set (that still has not been released). I added foam dots to the pink peony and green leaf for dimension and I didn't adhere the other flowers so that they were flat on the card.

Have a great day! xo

Happy Birthday Mama + recipe

Hello!

Hope all is well! :)

Today is my Mama's birthday and I made this card for her.....she LOVES flowers and the colour yellow! I've been blessed with the best Mama and only wish we could be together on this day. I haven't seen her in over 2 years! :(

I found my inspiration for this card on pinterest here! I used my Daffodils and Croatian Sentiments stamp sets. I coloured the daffodils with my Graph'it markers. I used some of my washi tape and stamped the sentiment (which means happy birthday for those of you who do not know Croatian :) ) onto vellum.

I'm not sure if  I shared this recipe here on the blog yet but it's a favourite with everyone and it's so easy to make and you can make it ahead of time because it's freezer friendly (I always have these in the freezer!) I found the recipe here. The only thing I do differently is I use puff pastry.

Well...that's it...I've got a busy weekend...my daughter and husband both have their birthdays and we're celebrating all weekend...wish me luck...I haven't even started yet!!!
