A card because it's fun to colour

Morning and hello!

I am back and surprise! It's not a Christmas card! :) I have been making many of them lately and I have fun making them, I have always loved making Christmas cards, best time of the year and having it all year around, can't be any better than that. :)

I have been playing with a really old stamp from my stash. It is a Sugar Nellie stamp that I have had for probably 10 years or so. I used to play with their stamps all the time and when I found them in my stash again, it was great fun to find the stamps again. I know that I played with some of their Christmas stamps last year. 

I don't remember what this one is called but I had fun playing with little Miss Sunflower. I have been in my leftover bag once again and managed to get this card made. It's a bit busy but every now and then can I stand that feeling! The thick lines in the image cools all the patterned down a bit.

Now is it up to you, get busy creating!

First mini Monday of August

Morning and hello!

I am back in the house and want to show you a mini card for you. I know that it will look pretty much like many of the small cards I have shown before. 

But as I use the same images does it look pretty much the same even if I have variations of the cards. I have some images left but we'll see if I will use them or not. I have used a mix of stamps from Lawn Fawn and some no name trees from my stash. I love how charming the card looks just because of the little snowman, he makes the whole card in my mind!

Take care and do something that makes you happy!

It's Christmas time again!

 Morning and hello!

I am back again, and this time a Christmas card! It is July and I have made 6 Christmas cards this month. Totally crazy but they are my fave to make. Using snow and winter images were tried to make me feel cooler during the heat waves that have been on visits lately. 

I don't feel very well in the heat and high temperatures. Me and my Maine coon Hilde have been living in the basement where it is cooler. During the warmest days have we been without any cooling system as we have bought new heating and cooling pumps but they were not installed during the first heat wave. It was horrible!

For this card have I used an image from hÄnglar and Wings. I don't remember what it's called but it is cute, right? There is so many happy and sweet images for winter and Christmas in the hÄnglar and Wing shop. I have paired the image up with designer papers from Maja Design. Found some mushrooms in my stash and put them into my flower cluster. A wood weener, some pearls, lace and a charm finish the whole thing off. Hope you like what you see!

Have a good day and do something that makes you happy!

Three of something over at Passion for Markers

Morning and hello!

It is a new week and we have a new challenge up for you over at Passion for Markers. This week's theme is set to

Three of something

A lovely and fun challenge, a little to think about, but not too much. 

Our lovely sponsor this week is 

All dressed up which offer one lucky winner two digital images of winners choice. Thank you for that!

For my card have I used a sponsor image called As sweet as a melon. A lovely image that gave me both trouble and joy when colouring it.. Took me a while to get the melon colour right, got there in the end, at least fairly good. This time did I use a mix of copic and promarkers to colour my image. 

I picked the image with a special paper pad in mind as I remembered it having a water melon paper in it. Was nice to being able to use some of that paper pad. I also got to remember why I find it hard to use. The papers are more like cardstock and the print have some shine in it. Don't like that at all. 

Anyhow, I used three designer papers for my card and I also used three different embellishments on my card: Ribbon/bow, nuvo drops (on the panel with the image, got lost in my photo) and black pearls to that. 

Now is it your turn to be creative. I look forward to come and visit you and see what you have come up with for this challenge!

Take care and do something that makes you happy!

It's mini Monday again!

Morning and hello!

Last Monday of July, wasn't it just Christmas? The time passes by so quickly. I have many mini cards to show off, but only one today. :) 

This card have I made many versions off, and I still have images left to play with. The images are from Lawn Fawn. I have totally fallen in love with their penguins and mices. I buy them every now and then and add them to my collection. :) The designer papers are from Dovecraft I think. I only have small pieces left of these papers as well. Glad and happy for everything that I can use up!

Have a good day and play with something that you enjoy!

Love n hugs
