I thought this sweet little girl in her Spring/Summer dress was perfect for the Paper Players theme Challenge. So I inked up my 'Hello Cupcake' image from the Pure Innocence stamp set of MFT.</h3>

The background stamp that you see is from Stampin Up, called: 'Hardwood'. I used the Pool Party and Basic Grey ink to give it some depth. </h3>

Hi dear Stampers.</h3>
<h3 class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thanks for stopping by. I hope this post finds you all well.</h3>
<h3 class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There has been some changes in my life as a Stampin Up demonstrator. </h3>
<h3 class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After many years, I decided with many mixed feelings, to stop being a Stampin Up demonstrator. The reason is, because I know that the time I spend working on the business side of it, was really cutting into the time that I wanted to spend on the 'creating- side' of it. Also, for me, I know that I will overspend, if I try to just do it as a hobbyist. </h3>

+ I was very ready to start using some other crafting products, then just the Stampin Up goodies that SU allows us to use as SU demonstrators. Also my photography hobby is really starting to take a lot of time as well and I just don't have the time to do it all, anymore.</h3>
<h3 class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Stampin Up as a company has thought me a lot. They are one lovely and caring group of people and they have a great bunch of beautiful products. That I will continue to love, while I craft my heart out.</h3>

<h3 class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thanks so much for stopping by. As always I love to have you visit.</h3>
<h3 class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
& Yes, that's right. Here is my first Christmas card of the year :) I know, I know... many of you start creating these cards in July.. But.. I am usually kinda late with my beauties. </h3>
<h3 class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But today I thought.. why not get this 'party' started :) We will see, who knows.. maybe this is going to be a fling.. and this is all that it is going to be for this year :)</h3>
<h3 class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have to admit, I am still in denial about all the snow here in Calgary.. I am still wishing it was summer.. so creating this card .. kind of was a wake up call for me. So yah.. it is winter and I better face the facts of the cold snow and wind outside :)</h3>

<a href="http://suochallenges.com/?p=3302">The Stampin Up Only #83 Challenge Blog</a>, has one interesting challenge this week. It is called: A Favorite Sentiment. </h3>
<h3 class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</h3>
<h3 class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well, this new Stampin Up stamp is for sure one of my favorites. It is called Prince of Peace. (#134811 - $8.95) To me, this is what Christmas is all about. That the Son of the most High God is born and that we can celebrate His birth and His life. Don't get me wrong I also love connecting with our friends and family during these Christmas holiday times.. But I couldn't do one without the other.</h3>

Hi dear Stampers.</h3>
<h3 align="center">
</h3>
<h3 align="center">
Thanks so much for hanging in there with me. I think that this has been the longest time I have been away from my blog. A lot of beautiful and fun things have been happening in my life and creating cards have been .. lets say... less present in this daily life.. </h3>
<h3 align="center">
I have had the opportunity to photograph the sweetest families these past few months. What a huge blessing and joy has that been. + I have been editing their photos for many hours after these photo shoots.. Fun, but making cards.. kinda got into the back ground of this little side job...! </h3>
<h3 align="center">
But now winter is completely back in Calgary and with that I have been more inside my home then during those gorgeous summer days. </h3>
<h3 align="center">
So, today I was wandering around my home and peeked into my craft room.. and suddenly I just had to play with all my beautiful goodies. I hopped over to some of my favorite Challenge blogs to see if I could play along. And guess what I found...</h3>

As for my card today. I had the Jewish Celebrations stamp set still laying on my desk and thought I would give this set another try. I loved working with it the other day and couldn't wait to try the other image that is also included in this gorgeous stamp set. The Menorah and the star of David.</h3>
<h3 align="center">

<h3 align="center">
I used the <a href="http://cleanandsimplestamping.blogspot.ca/2013/08/252.html">Clean and Simple Stampin Challenge #252</a> of this week to create my card. The banner didn't quite fit under my main image, so I pushed it a bit to the side. </h3>
<h3 align="center">
Our <a href="http://ourcreativecorner6.blogspot.ca/2013/08/words-words-words.html">Creative Corner Challenge</a> - Words, words, words - of this week also fitted perfectly with what I had in mind for my card today.</h3>

So there you go.. </h3>

Have a beautiful rest of your day.</h3>

A couple of years ago, Stampin' Up! released this gorgeous stamp set called Jewish Celebrations! Now, this silly me, thought it was not for sale anymore, because this stamp set is not shown in the main SU Catalogue of this year. (I am not sure on the ins and outs on that decision, but all I have to say is, that it is a real shame)</h3>
<h3 class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now, a couple of weeks ago I made my own little discovery of the day.. and if you heard a loud squeal, it was me :) This beautiful is still for sale online!!! So guess what I did.. I ordered it and today I was able to play with it for the first time. </h3>

I hope you don't mind me sharing a little bit of one of my other passions these days. I am trying to learn a little Hebrew. I think it is one of my favorite languages in the world. The depth and beauty in it.. is beyond me..</h3>
<h3 class="c4" style="text-align: center;">
Now, most of you probable know that the Hebrew word shalom is understood around the world to mean "peace." However, "peace" is only one small part of the meaning. "Shalom" is used to both greet people and to bid them farewell, and it means much more than "peace, hello or goodbye"....</h3>
<h3 class="c4" style="text-align: center;">
Hebrew words go beyond their spoken pronunciation. Each Hebrew word conveys feeling, intent and emotion. Shalom is more then just simply peace; it is a complete peace. It is a feeling of contentment, completeness, wholeness, well being and harmony.</h3>
<h3 class="c4" style="text-align: center;">
According to the Strong's Concordance 7965, Shalom means completeness, wholeness, health, peace, welfare, safety soundness, tranquility, prosperity, perfectness, fullness, rest, harmony, the absence of agitation or discord. Shalom comes from the root verb shalom meaning to be complete, perfect and full.</h3>
<h3 class="c4" style="text-align: center;">

The photo of that gorgeous sun, that the ladies of the Paper Smooches posted on their blog, also inspired me to share a little bit of my passion here. ( I hope you don't mind..) </h3>
<h3 class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2 weekends ago, we helped a dear friend harvest the honey from the beehive that she has in her back yard here in Calgary. We as a family were so excited to learn more about bees and how to be a bee keeper. If everything will go as planned, next year we will have our own bee hive. We learned that each year, with one single bee hive, you can harvest about 140 pounds of honey.. Oh my, what a huge treat.</h3>

</h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
Did you know, that, there are about 100 crop species that provide 90 percent of food globally and, of these, 71 are pollinated by bees.</h3>
<h3>
</h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
Just weeks ago in Elmwood, Canada, local beekeeper Dave Schuit lost 600 hives, or a total of 37 million bees. Another Canadian farmer lost eight of his 10 hives.</h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
The bees started dying in droves just after corn in the area was planted, an alarming red flag since corn seeds are often treated with neonicotinoid pesticides, which are known to kill insects by attacking their nervous systems.</h3>
<h3>
</h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
In the US alone, a full one-third of the food supply depends on pollination from bees -- so if bee colonies continue to be devastated, major food shortages will inevitably result. </h3>
<br />
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
If you would like to learn more about the economic, political and ecological implications of the worldwide disappearance of the honeybee, check out the documentary film <a href="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2012/04/21/vanishing-bees-film.aspx"><em>Vanishing of the Bees</em></a>. If you’d like to get involved, here are four actions you can take to help preserve and protect our honeybees:</h2>
<ol style="list-style-type: decimal;">
<li><h3>
Support organic farmers and shop at local farmer's markets as often as possible. You can "vote with your fork" three times a day. (When you buy organic, you are making a statement by saying "no" to GMOs and toxic pesticides.) </h3>
</li>
<li><h3>
Cut the use of toxic chemicals in your house and on your lawn, and use only organic, all-natural forms of pest control.</h3>
</li>
<li><h3>
Better yet, get rid of your lawn altogether and plant a garden or other natural habitat. Lawns offer very little benefit for the environment. Both flower and vegetable gardens provide excellent natural honeybee habitats. </h3>
</li>
<li><h3>
Become an amateur beekeeper. Having a hive in your garden requires only about an hour of your time per week, benefits your local ecosystem, and you can enjoy your own honey! Worldofbeekeeping.com and beekeeping.org are but two websites that can help you get started.</h3>
</li>
</ol>
<h3>
</h3>
<br />
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
The Bee-Action Campaign: Help Stop the Use of Toxic Neonicotinoids</h2>
<blockquote>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
Neonicotinoid pesticides are widely used in large-scale agriculture, but that’s not the only place they’re found. They’re also widely sold in garden centers (including big-name stores like Home Depot and Lowe’s) and are even found in seeds and plants you may purchase from your local nurseries.</h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
Friends of the Earth has launched the Bee-Action Campaign to tell stores to take bee-killing pesticides like noeonicotinoids off of their shelves, and you can help by <a href="http://action.foe.org/p/dia/action3/common/public/?action_KEY=13389">signing their petition now</a>.</h3>

Hi dear Stampers.</h3>

<h3 align="center">
What started out as a super hot and sunny day, turned into a cloudy one this Sunday afternoon. We were thinking of hitting the pool, but now we are not so sure.. Maybe a ride on our bike will be more fun. But before we head out, I wanted to show you a quick peek at my card.</h3>
<h3 align="center">
</h3>
<h3 align="center">
I created it for my brothers sweet wife. And just between you and me... I am way to late with sending it.. She also lives on the other side of the ocean, The Netherlands.. so this will be a very belated Happy Birthday card. Sigh.. </h3>

I don't think she reads this blog, so I think I am not giving the surprise away :) by posting this card today :)</h3>
<h3 class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used the All dressed up Framelits die (#130101 - $30.95 for 3 of the cutest Framelit dies) from Stampin Up. To my surprise I realised that this dress perfectly fits on a normal size card. So, all I had to do, was rolling the die through my Big Shot Machine and Foila!!! there you have it. Oh and did I mention how I love the simplicity and clean look of the dress! Just stunning!</h3>

Hi Wheely sweet friends :)</h3>

<h3 class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
How is your weekend going?</h3>
<h3 class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope you are having some time to play, like me this morning.</h3>
<h3 class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My hubby went mushroom picking with the kids in the Kananaskis area and I was treated by a dear friend of me to go with her to a soap and facial cream making class here in Calgary. </h3>
<h3 class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Wow, is there ever lots to learn about all the ingredients that when mixed and melted together can turn into beautiful creams and soaps. I have to say, that I love to know what I put on my skin. There are way to many chemicals out there, that I really like to stay away from, because they are just not the best for us.</h3>

The other day we went to a friends organic farm. They have chickens, cows, horses (they don't even own a tractor, they plow the land with the help of their horses.. we picked herbs in the forest and in the grassy fields and made the most yummy tea of it.. Our kids loved hanging out there and help a little. We all were so blessed to hang out there and learn and love on all the animals.</h3>

Hi dear you.</h3>
<h3 align="center">
Wow, how is your summer going? I hope you have loads of sun and beauty around you these days.</h3>
<h3 align="center">
I don't know, if you have been following what happened to Calgary these past 2 weeks. But our city is still in a state of emergency. We had so much water coming our way, that it flooded a whole lot of homes and most of downtown. </h3>
<h3 align="center">
Tomorrow will be the start of the Calgary Stampede (ever heard of that one? It is so .. so fun.. Think cowboys and line dancing and rodeo's and pancakes and lots of community getting togethers :) Anyhoo.. this city worked hard trying to get it all ready to go.. </h3>

I wanted to create something bold and colourful, but still masculine with not to much detail. (Yes I know, I am not that picky :) Coffee seemed the right theme for this last year in this family of ours. I tell yah.. As parents we can get so busy during the week. But in the weekends, me and my hubby always try to have a little 'us-time' over a cup of coffee / cappuccino :) in the morning. It is our time.. Love it.</h3>

As you can see I used one of the images of the 'By the Seashore' Stampin Up stamp set. What a gorgeous set it is. I used some different colours of blue SU card stock and just started to torn them in different strips. After that it was just a matter of layering them on top each other and voila.. there was my ocean!</h3>
<h3 class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am sure I am not the one who invented this idea of tearing apart card stock.. I just thought of it while I was sitting in my studio.. Anyhoo.. it sure looks cool and fresh with these ocean images. </h3>

Hi dear Stampers.</h3>
<h3 class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Wowsy, it is so good to be back on the blog. It was so much fun to stroll through all your beautiful post in the last couple of days. I am not sure how long I have not been able to post a card on my blog. But it was way due for a little update.</h3>
<h3 class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I just got back from a trip to Israel and the Netherlands. It was so good o see my family and friends again in Holland. And what a huge treat was it to be in Israel. I loved it out there. What a great city Jerusalem is. The people are SO SO kind, it is clean there and the food was amazing. Of course, I went super nuts with my camera trying to capture the beautify of this land. And me and my dear friends had so much fun. It was really funny how many times we got ourselves into the most hilarious situations. </h3>

On another note. I created this card with <a href="http://mojomonday.blogspot.ca/2013/05/mojo-monday-294.html">the Mojo Monday Challenge #294</a> in mind. I hope you can still recognise the lay out within all I 'camouflaged' it. I do think traveling can bring a new spark in your creativity. I don't think I ever tried a vintage, shabby Chic look on a card. But it just started to happen while I was creating. And I have to say, I love how I didn't feel so stuck with my clean and simple style today. Just perfect in a layered way :)</h3>

We found this cute and beautiful building in the middle of Jerusalem. Now it happened to have my favorite paint colour all over the place. So gorgeous. Doesn't it remind you of the colour 'Pool Party' by Stampin Up. Seeing the photo's back this morning sure inspired me to use the colours on my card today.</h3>

Hi dear Stampers.</h3>
<h3 class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Welcome back to my blog. Thanks for stopping by again.</h3>
<h3 class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I received this super cute dutch stamp set from a dear friend of mine. I loved playing with it. I am not the best at colouring images as you can see, but I am still happy on how it turned out.</h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<h3 class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is actually my first sentiment (stamp) that I own, that is written in the dutch language. All the other ones I have are in English.. Can you guess what it says there?</h3>
<h3 class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Congratulations with your birthday.</h3>
<h3 class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yes, in Holland we don't really say, Happy birthday.. we use 'Congratulations' . We congratulate the person who is having the birthday, their parents, their friends that are visiting at the same time as we visit this birthday person and while we are saying: 'Gefeliciteerd' ('Congratulations') we usually give each person at that party 3 kisses on the cheeks.. </h3>
<h3 class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I know, lots of kissing when going to a birthday party in Holland. (smile)</h3>

The 'Just Add Ink' Challenge ladies have one super sweet<a href="http://just-add-ink.blogspot.ca/2013/04/jai-160-inspirational-photo-challenge.html"> Photo Challenge this week #160</a>. It is a fall photo, with warm white blankets, leafs and everything. I am not sure what part of the world these ladies are living in, but they were all talking about the fall that is coming close.. Oh my.. Here in Calgary, Alberta, Canada we are just coming out of the winter and the thought of fall, really creeped me out a bit. I did get inspired by the blankets and brought that accent back in my card of today. </h3>

<h3 class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In 2010 we did a big colour renovation and shared our plans for smaller colour refreshes every three to five years to keep our colours on trend. Well it has been three years and we are excited to announce that the upcoming 2013-2014 annual catalogue will include 10 new colours (most of which are returning In Colors from previous years)! We are welcoming back some of your favourites, moving some colours around, and introducing one brand-new colour, so take a look!</h3>

When you take a good look at<a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=128093"> the 'Henry says' Stampin Up stamp set</a>, (#128093 - $26.95) you can almost smell that dusty chalk on those vintage old chalkboards. The lines on the images of the elephant and the sentiments are kind of drawn in a shaky way, if you know what I mean. Just perfect for any chalkboard card you want to create. </h3>

It was seriously so easy to create this chalk technique. I didn't do any embossing. I just inked up the image in the whisper white ink and I stamped it on my Basic Black card stock. </h3>
<h3 class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also sponged the edges of card stock a little with the white ink as well, to create some nice contrast in this card. Then I wiped off the excess ink with some tissue. After that I lightly sponged around the images and in blank areas with my Whisper White Craft ink to create the look of chalk dust.</h3>

So today I wanted to share with you a quick and simple Fancy Fold card.</h3>
<h3 class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To start it all – you need to take a 12”

<h3 style="text-align: center;">
Score Landscape at 4 1/4” and 7 5/8” and bone fold ( one as a mountain and
the other as a valley)</h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
Then, place the folded panel on <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=115950">your Scallop Square die</a> (# 115950 - $26.95) with the folds placed one
scallop in from either side. Please note that the elevated
fold to the LHS is placed one scallop in from the LHS..</h3>

The lovely ladies encouraged us to use the colours: Pool Party, Summer Starfruit and Soft Suede. I was kind of out of the last one, so I picked something that came the closest - Crumb Cake. Always a hit in my books.</h3>

Not sure why, beside the fact that it just makes me smile when I look at it :)</h3>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> Now, before you hop over to the next blog :) I just wanted to share one amazing deal that Stampin Up is offering right now
during their Sale-A-Bration 2013. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Until March 22, you can receive $264 in SU products
for only $125. No shipping or taxes will be added to this price.</span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: medium;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The way to receive this, is to sign up as a demonstrator. This means that you have the
freedom to take advantage of this deal and never order from them again if you
don't want to. You don't have to hold any parties, workshops, etc. You don't
have to let them know that after receiving this deal, that you don't want to be a
demo any more. If after June 2013 you have not ordered from them again, they
will just automatically kick you out of their computer system. It is that easy.
No phone calls or letters to explain yourself. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In the past couple of years I had
many sweet Calgarians (but don't forget anyone within Canada is welcome to sign
up with me) sign up this way and receive beautiful products for a very low
price.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The other beautiful thing is. You have the FREEDOM to order
anything you like from the catalogue up to $194. It could be the Big Shot with
some gorgeous dies or embossing folders, maybe you would like to just stock up
on some card stock, or ink pads or ribbon, or pick only stamp sets, etc.. there
are no rules, you can pick, it's like having your own little party!
</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">You will also receive $70 in business supplies, which are real
fun, So $194 + $70 = $264 in SU products... </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Just click on the <a href="http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/pursuitofstampiness/jointhefun">'JOIN MY SU PALS' button</a>, (even if it is only for this
one order :) and this 'click' will bring you to the website where you can join. Click then
on <a href="https://ida.stampinup.com/en-ca/agreement">'JOIN NOW'</a> and this will bring you to the form that needs to be filled in to
take advantage of this beautiful deal.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And if you would like to stay active as a hobby SU demo, I would
of course love to help you out as well. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">On your first order after you have signed up, you will receive
a 30% discount on everything you order. (makes me want to sign up all over
again)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">+ until March the 22 2013, for each order of $60 you will
receive a FREE Sale-A-Bration item of your choice. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">So when you place a $200 order you will receive 3 FREE products +
$35 in hostess dollars which will give you even more FREE products. Stampin Up
is very generous that way. (+ you have the 30% discount on the
$200)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I know, isn't it the best! Let the creativity take
off!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And with the new catalogue coming up soon, you will receive
all the info way sooner, + you get to order months earlier than anyone else
:)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Anyway, I would love to connect,create or hear
from you. But no pressure, if you never want me to contact you after you
purchased this beautiful deal. I can do that too. :)</span></div>
