Challenge time

Hello and summer greetings to you all! Hope you are having a good day so far. We here in Kalmar are having a rainy day, well they say it will be later today and that is totally ok after a whole week filled with sunshine. I'm happy for the less warm temperatures and bit of ironing today. I'm not kidding, I look forward to it. Love to seen when the piles of laundry gets lower and lower. It feels so good to see something get done. :) And it's relaxing to spend some time alone as non of the boys loves the laundry room, well exept Willy then who loves to get the mashines going. :)

Had a blast of a (birth)day yesterday. Went to one of my favourite towns, Karlskrona with my little family. Had a nice day on some boat rides and a very relaxing day with some fabby food to finish it all off. :) It feels like the day after today and it was so worth it, pain and everything. :)

And here is why you might visit today. My card for this weeks challenge over at the Paper Shelter. This week we are doing the theme of "Swirly Girly". That means I/we want to see at least one swirl on a card made for a girl/female of any age. Nice and easy as last weeks challenge was pretty hard I think with an inspirational photo. But it is good to be challenge from time to time, don't you agree?


For this card have I used the lovely Faery Emma. She is coloured with my usual Letraset family in green, gray and pink. The designer papers are from Bildmålarna. I love those papers more and more and wonderful soft colours. Can't wait to see what they have coming during the fall. The fence die is cut in a dp from Maja Design and was a left over from another card. My swirls are from Prima, say it in pearls collection. Flowers are made with Magnolia die and so is the leaf. The swirls are beige but looks green here, sorry my photographic skills stinks. LoL

The gift voucher

I can't wait to see what you all come up with for this challenge. I am so looking forward to see your inspiration for us using this challenge. And as usual we have the normal $30 gift voucher up if you play with our brand of products. Play with another brand gives you the chance of winning three digis of your choice.

Love n hugs
Marie

Belated birthday wishes huni, I'm so glad to hear you had a lovely day even though you are paying a little for it - which we know is normal for us.
If you want any more ironing let me know lol, our pile is huge!
It is hot here right now, which isn't good for me as it gets so humid which makes my joints swell and hurt more - I just hope it doesn't get hotter!
A really beautiful card hun, your colouring is brilliant! I love the papers you've used and the flowers are so pretty.
Keep well and have a good weekend Karen x

Härligt kort i fina färger!
Jag var inte så nöjd med onsdagens väder kan jag säga - det åskade här så att det sköt blixtar ur eluttagen, lyckades se hela 3 st på olika ställen :/:/:/ *gillas icke*
Låter som att du hade en riktigt bra födelsedag, det gillas däremot skarpt ;)
Kram!
