SHARE LAUGHTER clear design set from Hero Arts
I have been in a bit of a creative slump the last two weeks and only yesterday did I get a bit of it back. I made these cards for the Hero Arts challenge 'What inspires you'? The first card was my own inspiration and the second I get from the surroundings here, as it's the time for flowers and butterflies!! I got the Hero Arts clear design stamp set (see above) as I thought it would be much cheaper to buy like this than wood mounted stamps.
Back from my weekend in Belgium. The weather was bad! The flight was delayed 40 minutes and just before landing the pilot said that we might have to go to another airport because of the low hanging thick clouds. A little later he said - we are going to land - I'm going to give it my best shot!! I started praying immediately!! Actually, it was a perfect landing!
We only had time to visit Gent which is a very old interesting city. I hope to post a couple of photos we took soon.

This is the state of the vineyards at the moment. I took this photo this afternoon next to our house. The scenery is completely green at the moment.
Good morning!
ReplyDeleteI have that same stamp set and sure could use some of YOUR inspiration! Your cards are always beautiful!
Glad your plane ride was uneventful - other than the 'unknown'!
So, how far is Belgium from you?
ps... LOVE your photo (of you)!!!!! Gorgeous! And the vineyards are lovely, too!
Jacqueline - love these two cards, they are quite different from your usual cards, but love them, love the bright colours. - your vineyard looks lovely and green.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards, Jacqueline!! I would have started praying on that flight too!! Glad you are safe!

I love the cards esp. the pink one. I can't look at any more Hero stamps, I truly want them all. Your vineyards look beautiful, Jacqueline. Makes me yearn for Tuscany.

ReplyDeleteI love your cards! A pitty you couldn't make it to Antwerp. The weather here is still bad... I hope for summer!
ReplyDeletePrachtige kaartjes, vooral de roze heeft me een nostalisch gevoel.
