And back to my card :) 
Hi dear you!So glad you took the time to hop by my blog today. Welcome!
I hope you all had one beauty of a Christmas with the ones you love and that His Peace, Hope, Love and Joy be yours this new 2012!
We had our dear friend Ellie over from the Netherlands this Christmas. It's hard to put in words what she means to our family. We love her to pieces! I have known her for many many years and I feel so blessed that we still connect so well across all the miles that are now between us. We laughed so much and we shared our hearts out in the coffee shops and we enjoyed the Canadian nature on the ice and on our hikes in the mountains. It's so great to see again Canada through her eyes and to build again memories together. She left 2 days ago and we all totally miss her. Hopefully this Spring I will be able to visit Holland and see her again! I can't wait! (Hi Ellie.. we love you!)
Now on to my card of the day. I hopped over to the Hand Stamped Sentiments Inspiration Challenge Site and saw there one cute challenge #99 (So excited for you ladies.. you're almost at your 100th Challenge. Love it!)
They showed us some yummy cupcakes. There was some bling, some sparkle, some blue and lots of sweetness.. I thought this card would work perfect with this challenge.
The idea of this card I found somewhere on the blog a long time ago.. so it's not totally my own.. not sure where it was though. Please contact me if you recognise some of your card in here, I would love to link his post to your blog :)
Well.. I think that's it for today. I still have lots of catching up to do on many of your blogs. I hope to connect to you soon.
Inky hugs, Pauline
Pss.. Did you see that the New Ocassions Mini Catalogue went life today! Please take a peek at it.. I am sure you will love it!

Woon ik hier in het noorden van Nederland met voor nederlandse begrippen zo'n weids uitzicht; ha ha! En dan zie ik dit. Oh wat is het daar bij jou mooi! Wat geweldig dat je vriendin er was; mooie gelegenheid om weer eens Nederlands te beppen :)
ReplyDeletePrachtige foto's; mooie familie. Je bent ongetwijfeld een super trotse moeder! En voor ik het vergeet; je kaart is prachtig. Schoonheid zit soms in een simpel ontwerp; zoals dit...
Liefs!
Thanks for sharing your memories of your friend's visit. The photos are spectacular! I love your card's sentiment and the hearts are perfect. Thanks for playing at Hand Stamped Sentiments. Happy New Year!

ReplyDeleteWow the card is so elegant and simple. Every element stands on it's own. And double wow to the photos of your beautiful friends and family and the gorgeous country you live in. Canada is on my bucket list of places to visit. It's simply stunning.
