Use a punch or anything goes over at Creatalicious Challenges

Morning and hello!

A month has passed by again and it's time for a new challenge over at Creatalicious Challenges have a new fun challenge up for you today. The theme for this two week challenge is "Use a punch" or "Anything goes". From now on do we have a simple new rule: You can only enter our challenge three times and you can not enter with completely digital projects. You have to use some cardstock/paper in your creation.

Our sponsor this challenge is

Di's digi stamps

who's offering a $12 voucher to the lucky winner.

So for this challenge have I actually used a topper instead of a coloured image. From time to time it's really relaxing to just sit and cut and glue things together. I have made a bunch of cards with dog and cat images for the local cat shelter to sell to get some money. Too bad that most doesn't want to pay for hand crafted stuff, or maybe they are on the wrong place trying to sell. 

Anyway, the card is a birthday card with a little puppy. I have used some die cuts for the circles, sentiment is a two part die that I just love. A cheep border punch adds some lovely details to the card. I have added some flowers and a few die cut detailed leafs as well and die cut them in white. Very settle but a nice touch. A ribbon with a tied bow finish this card off. Hope you like it!

Take good care and don't forget to join our challenge. You have until 14th to join us. It's a nice and lovely place to join and a good way to show off your fabby looking creation!

Love n hugs

Christmas in September over at Passion for Promarkers

Morning and hello!

It's time for a new card for the challenge over at Passion For Promarkers. This week we wish to see your Christmas card as we're having the theme of Christmas in September. You know you want to play along with this challenge as it's not that long before you want to send all these lovely cards to near and dear ones. So take the chance to play along with us. The only thing you need to think about is to colour with your Promarkers and stick to the theme to have a chance of our prize this week.

Our sponsor is Dr Digis house of Stamps which offers one lucky winner two digis of their choice. There is plenty of fun and charming images in the store.

I have used the fabby image called Holly Jolly Horace. This is pretty much how my brother feels about Christmas so I might even send him this card, even if I normally just send to the kids in the close family. Of course he is coloured with my Promarkers, and for an extra touch; a red glitter gel pen and a white gel pen to give some energy to the berry detail in the image. 

As designer papers have I dug into an old one from Prima called All Star Collection and it has absolutly nothing to do with Christmas, just sports every where. But I see this guy sitting in a pub wishing to be at a sporting event instead of celebrating Christmas. Just like my brother is always thinking of his BJJ-practising. LoL

For some details to the card have I used a piece of burlap ribbon and some card candy in red as I thought I needed at lest some that give the thought of Christmas. And my old dynamo got to work as well. Couldn't help myself adding that sentiment to this image.

Well, this is all from me for today. I wish you a great week and do take the chance to play along with us. Theme is set to "Christmas in September" and don't forget to use your Promarkers.

Digital image over at the Paper Shelter

Morning and hello! 

I here again. Not that often at the moment as I keeping busy by crocheting for homeless cats here in town. It's soon time for the harvest market where the cat toys will be sold, and I will get back to my card making a bit more than the last month. ´

This week do we have the theme of "Digital Image" over at the Papershelter. That simply means that we want to see you use a digital image. So no stamped ones for this challenge. It should be nice and easy enough. 

I have used the new fabby image called Sorcery! I have used Veronica's fabby pre coloured image for this card as I realized that I have a bit too many toys left to make. But it's always nice to use the pre coloured images as well. You always get both a pre coloured and lined one when buying from the PaperShelter. So there is always an option if you run out of time when needing a card in a hurry. Or if you just simply doesn't feel like colouring one day.

The designer papers I have used are from Prima and the paper pad called Moulin Rough. Deep pinks, purples, blacks and blues in a lovely combo. However the Prima papers are so filled of details and even sometimes images that they are a bit hard to use for card making. Still I have a ton of paper pads from them and some how I am going to use them. First thing to do is not fearing cutting into them! :)

I have used some golden pearls for decoration. They are a bit different in colours so I am think they are from two batches. Then there is a few die cuts used as well: some bones, a few mices and a decorative piece. 

As always, we have a gift voucher up worth $30 when you play with the Paper Shelter brand. Playing with another brand gives you the chance of winning 3 digis of your choice. Nice and easy to play along, right? You can enter our challenges up to three times, but at least one of your creations needs to have a TPS image on it.

Sequins, pearls or/and gems over at Passion For Promarkers

Morning and hello!

Time for a new fun challenge over at Passion for Promarkers. This week do we have the fun theme of "Gems, pearls or/and sequins". Any or more of them are welcome. It's a nice and easy theme that you can fit into any kind of card. Make a sparkling Christmas card, a classy birthday card or a treasure chest for the little guy in your life. Tons of options with this one.

We are sponsored by Le Annes World 101 and they are offering a lucky winner two digi stamps of their choice. How great isn't that?

I have used the fabby image called Roses. It's a really lovely, classy image and it's great fun to colour as well. I am for sure to be using it again. You always need ready on hand cards for adults. I am kind of drowning in them for kids. As always when it comes to this challenge you need to colour with your Promarkers or others with the same last name Letraset or Winsor and Newton. I still have quite an bunch of my first markers on the go so they where really great at this time. Still nice but dry out a bit faster. I have also used a few pens to add a little more dept to the image. I saw that I had missed smoothing it out at one place but no time for retaking the photo at this point.

I have used papers from Design 13 or something like that. Really nice paper pad with lovely rose theme going on. The only bad thing about them is that they are single sided and I prefere to have double sided. Don't have to cut so many pages for one card that way. Anyway, I have been creative and cut so the papers goes a bit further without you seeing it. I have also used a web ribbon and some black and white one that picks up on the background. For the bling stuff have I used a few golden pearls and a bunch of transparent sequins that gives a pretty bling with the light hits them right.

Anyway, this is it from me for today. I hope that you come and play with me and the rest of the team for this challenge. It's great fun and the prize is really nice. I see you around hopefully!

Love n hugs

Your favourite embellishment over at winter wonderland

Morning and hello!

It's time for a new challenge over at the Winter wonderland and this time do we want to see your favourite embellishments. It should be a nice and easy one, right?

Everything that you ever wanted to know about Bugaboo Stamps - a short essay!

As if raising five children in the frozen land of the North was not enough of a challenge, Jodie Mackrell decided to dip her cold little Canadians toes into the world of papercrafting by opening an online store full of her illustrations. That was seven years ago.  

Today Bugaboo Stamps is one of the leading companies in digital images and we're still growing!  From seriously snarky to sugary sweet to sublimely soulful all the way over to the other side of the super sexy spectrum, you're bound to find all that you need and more to create your paper projects.

Jodie works hard to provide new releases and freebies every week!

And the prize on offer for our lucky winner is:

$12 gift code to spend in the Bugaboo Stamps store

My image is from our sponsor Bugaboo Stamps and I have used one called Make It Snappy Christmas Ornaments. It's hardly any colouring if you don't want too. And I decided to go with an almost monochrome theme for this one. I couldn't help myself but to colour the stars in yellow and I have used some silver for a few details. It became a bit bold but I can live with it. It was fun trying something new. The colouring is made with the standard markers for me, promarkers. And the designer papers are from a polish brand I think. 

And my favourite embellishments are die cuts, charms and pearls. I love a good ribbon too but for this card I was happy with a piece of silver string. The die cuts are made with dies from Lawn Fawn (mini snow flakes I think it's called). I never get bored of using those. I spend an hour or two from time to time and cut a massive bunch of them and then are good for a while. 

Well, sweet and short today as well as I am still in cold mood. Got a bad one from my son as he also got it bad. Wish this will be all of the colds for this year.

Anyway, take care. Do something that makes you happy and do play along with our monthly challenge. 

Love n hugs
