Add a ribbon over at Passion for Markers

Morning and hello!
Hi, how are you? I'm sitting here and write this post while a summer rain is going on outside. Have got an ear infection, first for this year. Have made a few cards when I couldn't sleep because of the pain in my ears.

Anyway, we have a new challenge over at Passion for Markers today and the theme is set to

ADD RIBBON

A nice and fun theme that I love. I have so much ribbon in my stash and I am happy every time I get a chance to use some of it. I have mega much of both ribbon and lace. It's a nice addition to a card or a scrapbooking page. 


We are sponsored by the lovely people over at Dies to Die for, and they offer one lucky winner a voucher to use in their lovely store. It's worth £15. 
Thank you so much for that lovely prize!

I have used an old image from my stash that I had printed, It's one of my fave digis as I love tulips and the image is nice to colour.. My promarkers have been put to use for this image.


Sorry for the bad photo. No energy to retake it at this time.

 I have used some lovely designer papers from Simple Stories to go with the image. For details did I use the needed ribbon that I tied into a bow. A butterfly charm is also added to the mix.. I have also used some sweet hearts in different colours and some gemstone to finish it all up. Hope you like it.

Now is it your turn to be creative and have some fun with our theme of the week. We look forward to visit your blogs!

Love n hugs

A card for the fun of it

Hi there!
Here is a card that I didn't do much to get to look this lovely. I found an online store called Kias Butik. Tons of fun in that store. Living in Sweden you should really visit the store.


 The only thing I have done is stamping the name and year with stamps from hÄnglar and Wings. Some gemstones is added here and there. I needed to send this card as it was an earlier school end for the student. I didn't even have to colour anything. 

All schools are now finished for the summer and around 18-20 of August is everyone back to normal again. My oldest have finished school and try to figure out what he wants to do. In the meanwhile will he start looking for a job or and try to get his grades up.

Love n hugs

A little mini card

Morning every one!
I am back again. This time with a little Christmas card  made with stuff from Lawn Fawn. I have a bunch left over from earlier creative moments and I try using the leftovers. Soon is it time to start making new pieces for new cards.


 It's fun to make these tiny cards ever now and then. And I will leave you with that. Do take a little time and play with your leftovers both paper scraps as well as images. It's really fun!

Have fun creating!

Love n hugs

Masculine over at Passion for Markers

Morning and hello!
Hi there! We have a new challenge up for you all to play along with over at Passion for Markers. This week are we playing with the theme

Masculine


We are sponsored by the lovely people over at Doctor Digis house of Stamps. They offer one lucky winner 2 digis  of winners choice.

I have used the digi Baking Brian. I used the same image a few months ago and lucky for me I had another one already coloured when I had my hands acting up, due to the heat. I am a strange person that feels better in the cold and dry air. Not the sunshine and heat. I have coloured with my promarkers.

I have used designer paper from an old paper pad the I don't have the cover left on. It's not used a lot because of the embossed patterns and glitter stuff. I don't like that at all. However I did manage to make a card for my brother's big day.


I have used a simple design that I often goes to when I lack inspiration and have trouble getting a creating flow.. As I was a bit stressed did I had trouble getting the card together. It is my brother's fault, as he should not have a party and then there was one spontaneously. Stress hit but I got it done. 

I did also made a thing about the inside but that did I keep private. It got better than the front. But Hey ho I got some new inspiration and have been able to make a Christmas card as well. Felt so good and that made me finish yet another card done. 

Now is it your turn to give our theme a chance and we all in the team look forward to come and visit you all. 

Have a good week!

Love n hugs

Christmas Cheers 3 2025

 Morning and hello!
It's mid June and I have a new Christmas card to show you today. By now should I have made 12 of them, but I have not. There is only, 8 or 9 made so far. When the schools have come to an end in a week will I start that project. Hopefully you will see more of my Christmas creations then. I need a few more this year than before. Nieces and nephews have grown up and moved away. Lucky for me to be able to send more cards!


This card is made with an image from hÄnglar and Wings. And as most of the time for Christmas have I used Maja Design designer papers. This paper pad is from 2024. I have also dug out one of my border punches from Martha Stewart. A few die cut snowflakes that I have made extra sparkling with some gemstones. A few paper roses and Nuvo drops in silver have given the last details. 

Hope you like my creation even if it is in the middle of summer and not close to winter and Christmas. It will be here sooner than later.

Love n hugs
Marie
