Thinking of you ... a Lili of the Valley card and a tea bag holder

 

 

 

Hallo allemaal! Het is alweer maandag, het begin van een nieuwe week. Hebben jullie een leuk weekend gehad? Vandaag weer eens een berichtje in het Nederlands. Ik kan het niet laten en heb weer een "tea themed card" gemaakt, dit keer ook een tea bag holder erbij. Deze schattige Lili of the Valley stempel kwam weer goed van pas. Ik hou wel van een lekker kopje thee, al kan ik ook erg genieten van een kop koffie (het liefst een Cappuccinootje of een Senseootje) en als het kan met wat lekkers erbij, lol!

 

Ik hoop dat jullie een leuke dag hebben gehad. Hier is het nu tijd voor het avondeten, het tijdsverschil met Nederland is 7 uur (het is hier 7 uur vroeger). Bedankt voor het bezoekje aan mijn blog en tot de volgende keer!  

 

Groetjes, Laura

HAPPY FALL! ... Stampin' Up! French Foliage set

 

Hello and welcome to my Blog! Yeah, Friday is here again ... Here's a Happy Fall card with the Stampin' Up! "French Foliage" set. I hope you like it. With the temperatures dropping (and soon the leaves will start to change colors), it can only mean one thing: it's time to decorate the house and our front door for Fall. I bought my first pumpkins already ... this year at the supermarket, lol! Gone are the days where we travel as a family (our kids are teenagers now) to go to the pumpkin farm, selecting pumpkins and enjoying the fine Fall weather.

 

That's all for today! Thanks for stopping by today and have a wonderful weekend!

 

Hugs, Laura

Another Tea Party invitation ...

 

 

Hi there and welcome to my Blog! You'd better get a cup of tea right away, lol! Sorry, here I am AGAIN with a Tea Party Invitation. I really couldn't stop myself creating this one! Sometimes you have this great idea in your mind, and you want to start immediately. This morning, I woke up really early to get it done, and let me tell you that I am normally not a morning person.

 

Just love this color combination: Stampin' Up!'s Rich Razzleberry and Basic Gray cardstock and ink combined with the silver ribbon + tulle ribbon and doily, and the stamp set: Close To My Heart "Tea Time". I do love a good cup of tea, and it doesn't matter what time it is! Don't you think this invitation gives you a feeling of a High Tea celebration?

 

By the way, did you enjoy your cup of tea, lol? Thanks for stopping by! Take care and have a lovely day!

 

Hugs, Laura

Birthday Cards ...

 

Hi there! Happy Monday! I hope you all had a great weekend.   

Today, I want to share these birthday cards. I chose the color after our visit to a garden center on Saturday. Yes, this time we were on a mission: picking out a couple of Mums for in our backyard. We wandered through rows and rows of beautiful flowers and plants.There were so many Mums to choose from, all sizes and so many colors! They also had lots of pumpkins. Isn't this a beautiful photo? Just LOVE the hanging baskets!

 

Have a wonderful day!

 

Hugs, Laura
