An old one but never shown...

Hello everyone and thanks for all wonderful and lovely comments on my cards this last weeks. These really makes my day. It has been wonderful to read them and feel the inspiration coming back to me again. Besides it has been a good break between looking into all wonderful applicants to our design team call over at the Paper Shelter.  Talking about that, it's still a few days left to enter and I would love it if you took part in it. There is quite a few spots to fill again and our team are very delightful to work with and all the gals are wonderful. So don't miss the chance of being in one of the best teams out there. You will not regret it.

Saying all this good stuff about the paper Shelter should involve me showing a card using a TPS image, but I don't have any ready for you to see. For that you have to wait until next week when there is a new challenge both on the TPS challenge blog and Passion for Promarkers as well. :)


This card of mine was actually made last year. I never got a chance to show it and as the BIG holiday is coming up in about 100 + days, it might give someone, some inspiration to make a Christmas card. LoL I know I need the inspiration myself, I have about 37 more of them to make. That means I have managed to make the overwhelming amount of 3 Christmas cards for this year so far. LoL


The image from Magnolia is colored with distress inks and paired up with some lovely designer papers from Dove craft or PaperMania I think. Flowers from WOC and so is the lace. It was a box card made for one of Philip's teachers as their Christmas gift. I really should get those stamps out again and start coloring shouldn't I? Could anyone please finish of the cards for me when I have the colouring done? LoL I have actually put all the Christmas stamps that never have been used in one big bag and plan to use at least a few of them this year. Some things you just feel you need to have right here right now and then never uses them anyway. I have tons of that stuff, that I reeeaalllllly need right here right now and then it just get piled up in boxes waiting to be used. LoL It's time for a treasure hunt in those boxes let me tell you.

Now however, I have an evening filled with soccer ahead of me. The "big" team is playing against Irland late tonight, and in just a little while it's time for the U21 national team to take on Poland. Go Sweden!

Love n hugs
Marie
