Anything goes over at The Paper Shelter

Morning and hello! It's already time for our final challenge of the year over at the Paper Shelter. A racing year yet again. Can't believe how fast it all has gone. And how drained of energy I am. I will give myself promision to relax and enjoy things more than I have this year and not worry so much about everything.

Well with that said, let's look at my card. I have used the smashing image called Bowling day. As I think it's a fun image and very joyfilled. I was planing to make another Christmas card but I can't remember where I have put the image. Totally lost. Have to look around in my crafting room to see if it will show up. In the meantime bowling has to do. LoL

Sorry about another crappy photo. I have really little light in my room and it's getting dark around  15:00 hours here at the moment. So the photos will be a bit dull until I learn how to fix it, which probably is never. Too many settings on the camera and over at Photoshop. LoL

I have coloured with my Promarkers and paired the image with a Teresa Collins paper pack from way back. It's something about daily life. Found it while digging in my stash to clean out. Fun, lovely colour which isn't showing very well here but you have to take my word for it.

As this is our yearly Christmas break challenge their will be now comments on your creations for this challenge as we need a break. However our gift voucher and three digis is up for grabs as always. You can play along three times but one of the creations needs to have a TPS image on it, if you make more creations with TPS images they are welcome as well. (More than three creations).

Take care everyone and have a fabby Christmas. The A-team will be back with a new challenge 9th of January again.

Love n hugs

And then my card. I have been digging out some old stamps that I never have used before or only used once or twice to reuse them. And this is one of the Magnolia stamps that I dug out. It's probably from 2014 - 2016 maybe. I thought it would be nice to be able to sort them into my boxes of old but used stamps instead. Wish I had the currage to give some of it away, but I have to be happy that I managed to reduce my paper stash with half a metre or so. It felt really good giving them away to a school nearby. No reason to keep them around knowing that I will not use them. Too much pink and flowers. LoL

Ok, back to the card. Sorry that everything shifts in pinkish tones. I just don't seem to get along with lights or colours. I try to study the Photoshop software but I takes tons of time and to long between my sesions with it. One day I will grow the patient to learn this.

Anyway, I have used a bunch of Magnolia dies for my card and a few others as well. I was in the mood for many details. I think I have used some designer papers from Maja Design. Maybe Home for Christmas. The very much used free die from a card making magazine is also used once again. I adore it! Well this is it! Hope you like the card and that you will take some time to play along with us over at Passion for Promarkers. Tons of prizes up for grabs!

End of the year challenge over at Winter Wonderland

EDITED: For some reason this post wasn't going live when it supposed to kept going to draft so a bit late. Sorry about that!

Morning and hello! It's time for our end of the year challenge over at Winter Wonderland and this time we have the whole team taking part in our challenge. Our theme is set ANYTHING GOES

We are sponsored by...

website - http://www.doctor-digi.com/

Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/DoctorDigi

Prize for the winner is 2 digis of the winner's choice

Welcome to the brilliantly bizarre brain of Dr. Digi's House of Stamps. Here you will find monsters, aliens, odd balls and Dundertons as well as many more.

And then for my card for today. I have used the fabby image called Slalom Santa. Coloured him with my markers from Winsor and Newton / Letraset. Spent some time fussy cutting him out and did some die cutting while I was at it. Hope fully it looks like he has jumped out of the slopes. I used some dies from Lawn Fawn and Spellbinders for that. The snowflakes are also from Lawn Fawn. Probably my favourite dies in the last year or two. 

To finish the card off did I do some doodeling around the edges of the card. And the last detail for it was the free die from a card making magazine earlier this fall.

Well, I hope that you still have some cards to make for family and friends and that you take the chance to come and play along with us for those. Or maybe you want to get started on next years cards. Good to have and early start you know.

Love n hugs
Marie

Bloghop over at the Paper Shelter

Morning and hello! Time for our yearly blog hop here at the Paper Shelter. It's quite a massive one but you have the chance to win one image at every teamie you visit and comment on. You will see the way to go there further down in this post. Well at least I know I am the last one standing when you come here. I send you back to the beginning, the Paper Shelter. Where you can choose if you wish to play along with our theme and have a chance of winning yet another digi or play along with our challenge "Celebrations or birthdays". Playing with a TPS image gives you as always a chance of winning a gift voucher worth $30. Just as always.

Remember that you don't have to play along in the blog hop to play along in our challenge and the other way around. You don't have to enter the challenge to blog hop.

You have plenty of time to play along as our next challenge doesn't start until 19th of December so take your time. 

Hopefully have you arrived from Lindas lovely blog and when you have finished here time to hop on to the Paper Shelter once again. 

And for my card... I have used the fabby image called Karate Girl and coloured away with my promarkers. I dug out some of my mega stash of Magnolia papers and used up some left overs from them. Let me say, that stack is about 20 cm high and will probably never come to an end. They are hard to use, but I will give it my best. Love the quality from the old ones, the newer ones are not as nice. 

The card has a simple design as I want to use it for a kid. I have just used my dynamo writer for the sentiment and then cut some banners as decorations from some tiny scraps. Well, today simple was the way to go.

Here is a list of all the teamies in case you missed out on someone earlier.

The Paper Shelter

We hope you had fun during the hop. We know it's really long but maybe you can drink a cup of coffee or tea while hoping around. It might even be a bit old fashion to do this when people seem to have less time on hand. But we like our traditions here at the Paper Shelter and will probably go on this way for a little longer. LoL

Anyway, our next challenge will go live 19th of December until then you can always play along with us here at the Shelter and our Celebrations or Birthday theme. You don't have to hop along to be in it and you don't have to play to blog hop.

Love n hugs

Marie
