Corkscrew Tilda Shaker

This is the first shaker card I made... It's been a surprise for my cousins little girl. As it was all pink, with a princess and lots of flower and glitter, she LOVED it!

 

Unfortunately some of the glitter is clinging to the plastic cover, so you can't see Tilda very good...

Full Heart

This is the card I made for my mom as it is Mother's Day here in Germany today.

Mom loved this card... but she asked me why that girl didn't have blond hair as I had a lilac dress like that when I was a little girl, but I was blond back then... So I changed her hair colour.

Will have to look for that photo of me with that lilac dress looking at flowers...

My creative month April

I've seen this great idea on several other blogs here in Germany and I liked the idea of showing my creations of the past month again. So I made my collage and will enter this post into Anna's Art.

Ich hab' diese geniale Idee schon bei mehreren Blogs gesehen und mir gefiel es sofort nochmals alle Projekte des vorigen Monats in einer Collage zu zeigen... Daher habe ich mich endlich mal dran gemacht und meine eigene erstellt, welche ich nun auch bei Anna's Art einstellen werde.

Here you can see all my creations from the month April.

Hier sind nun meine gesammelten Werke des Monats April.
