Ring for the index finger
For years I had looked for a ring suitable for an index finger, but somehow I found that they were all hindering me when handling items or carrying out daily tasks. Now I created one at college - and it is so comfortable to wear and feels really really good.

A place in the sun
Little Claire are launching a great new stamp 'A place in the sun' that features a part of a house front at the beginning of January. It is so useful for new home cards or scenic cards. Stamped in one colour, watercoloured or with ProMarkers it looks really good. And it is just brilliant for the use with FlowerSoft.
Good embellishments for this image can be created with the Tim Holtz Texture Fade featuring the brickwork and the QuicKutz antique key die.
The stamp also comes with two text stamps un can be pre-ordered on the Little Claire website.

My Pride and Joy
Time has been flying by and my current art college course is slowly but surely nearing its end. And one big project is finished.
I created this project from scratch using metal sheet and wire. All the sawing, filing, use of emery paper and soldering was time consuming, but it was such a good feeling to finally hold the finished piece in my hands.
Our tutor also deserves a big thank-you for all the things she has taught us and for the guidance she provided whilst we were working on our own projects. She has such a wealth of knowledge and experience and is just a star.
And yes, I am hooked and more jewellery making/silversmithing courses will definitely be on the way.

Little Claire Club Stamp December 2010
Have you already seen the set of super cute stamps that form this month's Little Claire club stamp? They feature their so adorable elephants and are an absolute joy to work with.
It was so lovely to play with the stamps and get some nicer thoughts - something that does not evolve around snow, ice and low temperatures. They worked as real 'pick me up'.
The stamp is now on the Little Claire website. And in the gallery are again many more project ideas for this stamp set.

A Little Bird Told Me ...
The Little Claire club stamp for November is out. And it is not only great for Christmas cards, but for wintery cards in general. Colourd in with ProMarkers this fabulous image - with or without sentiment - is perfect for so many occasions.
The Little Claire website is worth a closer look and also contains galleries for the individual stamps.

Little Claire Club Stamp October 2010
The new Little Claire club stamp is out and now available on their website! This month it is another lovely Christmas stamp: 'Owl Gate'.
Here are two projects created with the owl gate stamp. The images on both cards are coloured in using ProMarkers.
For the first card I also used label nesting dies, Distress Stickles in clear rock candy for the snow and card candy.
For the second card, which contains an acetate front, I used dies from Marianne D and QuicKutz and also added a bow made from red Woodware organza ribbon.

A Giraffe for Christmas
Not a real one, but a very cute one on Christmas cards. I love this image, as it is so adorable and also not one of those typical Christmas images that can be seen anywhere.
For the cards below I used the the Christmas Giraffe stamp from Little Claire, dies from QuicKutz, Marianne D and Spellbinders, ProMarkers and papers from the Dovecraft Let it Snow paper pack. The centres of the poinsettias in the first card are small drops of Liquid Pearls in gold. The second card is embellished with adhesive pearls. The 'essentials' were textured cardstock in various colours, white Southfield linen card and white glass smooth card (200gsm) from Southfield as well as a black Memento ink pad.
