Here we go again ...

Hi everybody,

I thought it would be time after a time-out for two years to jump back in she fun and join PTI in the anniversary activities.

Today I want to share a card I made for the Retro-Sketch challenge #100 (happy birthday to the great crew from this challenge blog!) and for the PTI February Color Play.

Supplies are all from PTI - will be back to let you know....

I'm still a little rusty after stamping just every once in a while so be patient with me while I try to delve in a again. 

Thank you for stopping by today and hope to see you later
Hugs 
Tanja

I'm back ....

Hi there,

yes, it's me!!! *wink*

I've been absent for too long and I hope you will forgive me. But sometimes life comes in the way and there is nothing else you can do but just go your way. I try to show you what was going on here in the next blog post but for today I decided to jump on the train again and celebrate the 5th anniversary with Papertreyink. For this reason I participated in the challenge of day 2 and made this card. (due to high traffic on Nichole Heady's website I cannot link this challenge, grrr!)

The challenge was to choose one image from the digis the PTI Design Team provided and make a card with it. Here we go - nothing special but good enough to get back into the groove.

Thank you for stopping by and hope to see you soon

Hugs Tanja

supplies:

stamps: freebie from PTI and Fancy Flourishes

being mia and a card/bookmark

Good morning everybody and welcome!

Did you miss me? Well, I've been missing you since we started our moving journey back in March. And oh boy, it was exhausting! But now we are here in our new home and we are already kind of settled in ... well, kind of :).

I hope that I will be back at my crafting table a lot more than I've been in the past. But I don't make promisses. My DH will be deployed by the end of June and so I don't know how things will be going here around the Hartmann ranch but I hope to do my best, okay?

Thank you for staying with me and stopping by every now and then.

For today I have a little project to share with you. You remember the International Inkers? Well, this month it was my turn to put together a kit. I have so much paper from SU that I decided to dive into it even though it is retired and lots of cards were already shown with it.... I like it and I send it out to

Imke

Michelle

Paola

Karen and

Catherine

The kits were loaded with some extra goodies to play with and this gorgeous little image from Whiff of Joy - couldn't resist :)

What do you think? Do you like my little project? Any suggestions for doing better? Please let me know by leaving a comment and you will be in for the drawing. The giveaway will be a card kit - the same that I sent out to the other girls :) *waving* (no pics here of the kit so it will be a surprise!)

Thank you for swinging by today

Special hugs

Introducing International Inkers

Hello everybody!

Today marks he beginning of a new venture... well, kind of!

Welcome to Crafters without borders ~ otherwise know as the International Inkers! A few of us thought it would be fun to share kits internationally and a group was born. Representing Germany we have the talented Imke, Canada is ably supported by crafty Karen and the amazing Paola and the United States is provided props by our own spunky Catherine and Michelle - woohooo... last but not least I joined too ;)

Each month one of us will send identical kits across the borders to our fellow Inkers and once they are received at all the destinations, a posting date will be chosen and our creations will be up for all to see. We also have a special International Inkers incentive for each posting. When you stop at each blog and leave a comment, you will be entered into a drawing to receive the same kit that the Inkers created with. This month's kit is pictured on the right and will also include the same images in an ink of the winner's choice.

Here is the list of all "International Inkers":

Catherine

Imke

Karen

Michelle

Paola

and me ;)

Thank you for swinging by today - and now, go visit the other girls - you won't be disappointed !

Have a wonderful Sunday

Hugs Tanja
