Christmas Cheer 5-2021

Morning and hello!

It's the end of the month again and I show a Christmas card again. I have a small collection of Magnolia cards made for the lovely winter and Christmas time and I thought that I would show one of them today.

This is from last years Christmas stamps if I remember right. It was a while since I made this card. Anyway, the image is coloured with my Promarkers and paired up with some lovely designer papers from Maja Design. The lovely scarf die is also from Magnolia, so is also the leafs under the flowers. Well, I believe that all the dies are from Magnolia this time. 

The good thing about starting early with the Christmas cards is that more get done, the bad thing is that I don't blogg them right away and forget what I have used. Well, I actually forget almost everything at the moment. My head is not really with me. 

I love the lovely ribbon used on this card and I hope I have enough for this years cards as well. It goes so well with Maja Designs papers. I have also used a few gem stones in the corners.

I hope I can inspire you to make a few Christmas creations before the winter is here. Remember how fun it is to make these cards. :)

Take care everyone and do something that make you happy!

Love n hugs

Just for fun 20-2021

Morning and hello!

I have created a little card once again. This time have I used one of my beloved hÄnglar and Wing stamps. I don't have the energy to check which one this one is at the moment. She is paired up with a paper pad that I love and it's not from the most famous brands. My mind is a bit drained at the moment so I can't remember which brand it is. 

The little girl is coloured with my Promarkers and I have used a bunch of homemade flowers and some lovely green ribbon for this card. I have even managed to tie two bows for the same card. Maybe a bit of an over load but that should be ok from time to time as well. :)

Sweet and short today!

Take good care and stay safe!

Love n hugs

Morning and hello!

Time for a new Just for the fun of it post from me. This time have I used a sweet image from the Paper Shelter to create with. 

I have had a period when I have tested to blend different colours with each other that isn't from the same colour group. Kind of fun and it is great for happy hair/fur. :)

 Since we still have heavy spread of the Virus I thought it was fitting to use this magical creature to spread some hope and a reminder at the same time. It's easy coloured and fun to work with. The designer papers are from the Whimsical collection from Pink Fresh if I remember correctly. Bright and fun papers are mixed with a black and white one from another collection of mine. Some homemade flowers and some die cut leafs finish the card off.

Take care everyone and do something that makes you happy!

Love n hugs

For the boys over at the Paper Shelter

Morning and hello!

Today is a special day, special and sad. This will be my last card as a design team leader for the Paper Shelter. After almost eleven years have I decided to step down from the team to take care of my health. I have struggled with depression for a long time now and I have big trouble keeping my head over the surface at the moment.Together with all pain in both joints and muscles is everything too much. I need to get some space to heal and I hope this will help me out. However I will miss the Shelter badly. Veronica being a super star when it comes to the lovely images and to the whole TPS-family. I will miss you dearly!

I will not stop using my beloved Paper Shelter images. I will probably be back some day, somehow spreading the images over the blogging world!

So for my card then. We have the theme of For the Boys/male this week. I have to favourite kind of cards to make: boy's themed and Christmas. And this week we go for the boys. 

I have dug out a fabby old image, well it is a set of images called Happy Times. They are fairly old but still wonderful to work with and really cool. The kids love to get cards made with these images. As I love ice cream did I go for that image today. I have also used an old paper pad from Echo Park called summer days. It's a nice old pad that is also coming to an end soon. 

To decorate the card have I used a few clouds, a sun and a border die from Lawn Fawn. The sentiment die is from PY Hobby and says Happy Birthday / Congratulations. 

Any brand is welcome and playing with our brand gives you the chance of winning a gift voucher worth $30. Playing with another brand gives you the chance of winning three digis of your choice.

Do take some time to drop by the Paper Shelter challenge blog as our first of four new designers begins with this challenge. You are in for a treat. And don't forget that you can play up to three times in our challenges but one of them need to have some TPS-product on it.

Well then, this is all from me for today. Take care everyone and do something you enjoy!

Love n hugs

Just for fun 18-2021

Morning and hello!

Another creation made just for the fun of it. Well, I actually made it for a CC I entered in April, but I have not shown the card here yet. 

I have a box with things that I want to use up and it's filled with big decorations like the butterfly and some expensive flowers that I have bought to use some day, but didn't use because they were expensive. Making sense? Well, at least is these things used up now and it was fun doing it. A little less in my box.

Anyway, take care and do something you enjoy and that makes you relax. 

Take care!

Love n hugs

Your favourite colour combo over at Passion for Markers

Morning and hello!

This week's challenge is up and running over at Passion for markers. This weeks theme is set to Your favourite colour combo.

We are sponsored by the lovely people over at Star Jam Lines. Two digis for one lucky winner, how great isn't that? Thank you for sponsoring us this week!

For my card this week have I used the sponsor image called Gnomies in love. They are coloured with my Promarkers and paired up with some designer papers from Glitz. The pad is called  77. It's a fairly simple card with straight lines except my doodling, that will never be straight. :) I have used some Nuvo Drops as decorations for this little card of mine. Well, I have been digging in my stash of paper flowers as well. Thought that was fitting for these little figures. My fave colours then: Well, I tend to use a lot of blue/petrol, orange and grey when I scrapbook and totally love that colour combo. 

Hope you are having a good week! Take care and do something you enjoy!

Love n hugs

Morning and hello!

Time for me to sit down and blog a card that I have made just for the fun of it. I normally spend some time during the beginning of each month and put up some post that goes live during the coming month. We'll see how that goes this month as I am in really bad shape at the moment. 

Well then, the creation of the day then... This card was made a while ago and I used up fairly much of the paper pad from Echo park called spring something something...

The image is from Bugaboo and is a joy to colour. I have put a few of the images together to get a wider image. I kind of like how it turned out. I love how easy the Bugaboo stamps are to colour, this is no exception. They are also inviting you to make colourful creations and that's good because happy colours bring a smile to your face, right?

Well this is all for today. Wishing you a good day and do take some time to do something you enjoy.

Love n hugs

Colour it over at The Paper Shelter

 Morning and hello!

It's time for a new challenge over at the Paper Shelter. This week's theme is set to "colour it", meaning that we just want you to use images that you have coloured yourself. No pre coloured images this week.

As I am in tons of pain at the moment is this a really short post from me today...

I have used the charming image called Bubble Trouble. A fun and very cool image for the teenager maybe? I have coloured her with my Promarkers from Winsor & Newton. The paper pad is from Echo Park. I think that is the last part of some spring collection... The die cut 

flowers are made with a die from Magnolia, Sweden. 

Any brand is welcome and playing with our brand gives you the chance of winning a gift voucher worth $30. Playing with another brand gives you the chance of winning three digis of your choice.

Do take some time to drop by the Paper Shelter challenge blog as our first of four new designers begins with this challenge. You are in for a treat. And don't forget that you can play up to three times in our challenges but one of them need to have some TPS-product on it.

Take care everyone and do something you enjoy!
