Das neue Thema der Just Magnolia Challenge heißt diese Woche "Birthdays". Wie passend, wo Bev und ich beide am letzten Sonntag Geburtstag hatten *grins*. Ich mache selbst irgendwie kaum Geburtstagskarten, da kam mir das Thema gerade recht.

The new challenge over at Just Magnolia is "Birthdays". How matching as Bev's and my birthday was last Sunday *grin*. I don't do specific birthday cards often so this was a good theme.

I still had the card with which I started for the last JM challenge but it didn't work out. So I used it for this week's card and it worked! The pattern paper is from one of the new DCWV series which I really like. I love that tan and this is why I used Copics this time, because I have a tan marker which is perfectly matching to the cardstock. And Sven gave me Polychromos to my birthday so I was able to try them out for the shadows instead of Prismacolor pencils.

What a luck that Domi gave me turquoise flowers because I didn't find matching flowers in my stash! She also gave me the cute heart pins which I also used for this card. Thank you hun! By the way the "congratulations" stamp is from Magnolia.

Like I said before I colored Charleston Tilda from the current Magnolia collection with Copics and Polychromo pencils. I didn't use my markers since a while and I had to declare that some of them are really rough-running even if I just have them since September 2009 and didn't use them often. I think this isn't fine... they are way too expensive. I really saw it while using my Copic Sketch markers (and the big side has another color than the thin side). Do you also have such problems? I think I will start buying Cioa marker now... but I like the shape of the sketch markers more...
Ach ja, bald ist endlich Wochenende und ich kann es schon gar nicht mehr erwarten, denn ich werde mir eine Cricut kaufen! JAAA! Aber auch hierzu später mehr... Ich wünsche euch allen ein wunderschönes Wochenende ohne Schnee!

Soon it will be weekend and I can't wait for it, because I will buy me a Cricut on Saturday. But I will tell you more later! I wish you all a wonderful weekend without snow!
Bei All That Scraps starten heute übrigens die Previews für die Märzstempel und eure Meinung ist gefragt, ob die C.C. Designs Stempel in Zukunft unmontiert oder zeitweise auf grauem EZ Mount geliefert werden sollen, da es Engpässe für das schwarze Thin Mount gibt. Hier könnt ihr abstimmen. Ich hoffe sehr, dass es am Ende auf das graue EZ Mount hinauslaufen wird, ich bin kein Fan davon Stempelgummis selbst auf EZ zu montieren, das klebt immer so arg :P

By the way at All That Scraps the new previews for the march stamps are starting today. And Christine is asking for your opinion about how the C.C. Designs stamps should be sold in the future. Here you can vote for unmounted or on grey EZ mounted. I really hope that the voting will be for grey EZ Mount because I really don't like mounting myself :P
