X-mas Cheers 14-23

Morning and hello!

Hi! I am back again, this time with a Christmas card that I hope you will find some inspiration from. I have used an hÄnglar and Wings-image called Klädd för Vinter (Dressed for winter). It's a lovely set with stamps, a boy and a girl with a few sentiments. 

I have once again used designer papers from Simple Stories, this time the pad called Winter Cottage. Lovely colors that are a bit different from the classic green, red, white, grey colors. It is a charming pad. I have even started to use up a really old paper pad with lots of glitter and shimmer on them. Nice to be able to use some old stuff together with the newer stash. 

 I have used a part of a cake doily and some die cut letters from my stash. they are really lovely, the small letters, but I wish I had put them closer together on my card. That would have been a bit better design wise. I have used one white letter and a black one under the white one. 

Time for you to do something creative and fun for you! Some me-time is a good thing!

Love n hugs

Morning and hello!

I am back with a little card again, this time have I used an image from... aahhh, I can't remember the name at this point. Typical of me! The brand is almost always doing images with different kind of plants and flowers and all of them are amazing!

 I have had a little fun with coloring the image as I have colored my tiny apples in lilac and the flowers are truer colored, sometimes is it fun to break out of the box. I have matched the image with designer papers from Crea Time the brand is. And if I am wrong about that, is it something close to that. I have also used a couple of ribbons, one lace and one sheer ribbon. To top my card off have I also use a butterfly charm. Some gemstones that I try to use up is also put on this card. 

Hope I have given you some inspiration to create something of your own.

Love n hugs

Morning and hello!

Hello! From Christmas to spring/summer in two cards. Another Magnolia card with a sweet Tilda-image. This one did I buy during spring this year and love it! It's fun to color and a charming image. Isn't she cute?

Once again have I used designer papers from Simple stories. I have really started to love them. They are great! Both for card making and scrapbooking, Actually, I have started to like them more than my beloved Maja design papers. The cleaner colors that Simple Stories uses are fabby in my mind. To give my card some details have I used a daisy ribbon from my stash, and I have placed it over a sheer ribbon. A die cut butterfly and some clouds finish my card off. Hope you have found some inspiration from my little creation!

Have a good week and take time to do something for yourself.

Colors of autumn over at Passion for Markers

 Hi and hello!

It's time for a new challenge over at PASSION FOR MARKERS again and our lovely theme this week is "Colors of Autumn". It's a lovely theme and just look at how the nature looks at this point of the year. It's vibrating with colors and crisp air. Well at least from day to day. 

Our sponsor this week is Rachelle Anne Miller who offer one lucky winner two digital stamps of winner's choice. Thank you for that!

For my card today have I used an image called Bee Yourself, and you find it here. This little cutie was a joy to color, and it was actually the first time in a long time that I enjoyed coloring. I have been a bit low lately, so this was a great surprise to get such a good feeling. I have used my promarkers to color this time and paired my image with designer papers from Echo Park, the pad is called Fall Fever. A lovely cheerful paper pad with lovely, muted colors. It's a happy paper pad! 

I have used my papers as decorations but have also added some golden pearls and a few paper roses and leaves to give some dimension. A glitter pen from Tonic have I also used for a little sparkle.

I hope that you find some inspiration from my little creation and take some time to play along with us. I and the rest of the team look forward to visiting you. 

Take care and do take some time to do something that you enjoy!

Love n hugs

Christmas Cheers 13-23

 Morning and hello!

Hi! How are you doing today? I hope that you have a good day and week. And I really hope that you take some time to do something just for you. 

Today do I have a Christmas card to show you all. This is a card made with an image from Magnolia. Sorry but I don't remember what it's called. I bought it last Christmas, but are not sure if it is from 2022 or 2021. Anyway, I love this little combo of two stamps. They are fun to color and I love using them together. 

My designer papers are from Simple Stories and have a bit different color scheme than other Christmas papers. I had fun coloring this image combo. Yet again have I used a die from Lawn Fawn or maybe spellbinders, and the lace looking die cut is from Magnolia as well. 

Time for me to sign off for today! Have a good day!

Love n hugs

Morning and hello!

Hello and welcome back to my little corner of the blogging world. I hope that You are having a good day and have had time to do something that makes you happy.

Today am I showing you a card with an image from Bildmålarna. I have colored this one with distress inks. It doesn't happen very often but every now and then do I take them out and use a brush and water to color with them. 

 The sentiment that says Thank you in Swedish and the letters are from hÄnglar and Wings, and the designer papers are from Maja Design and the paper pad Evey day life. A lovely paper pack with lovely colors. Some great letter stamps, I have collected many of them, and have them in my stash. Probably more of them than I need, but as a scrap booker you can't have enough of anything, right?

Take care and don't forget to do something for yourself!

Love n hugs

Morning and hello!

Hi there! I am back again and have been creating just to have some relaxing time. This image, however, is it years since I colored. It has been waiting for the right designer papers and for my inspiration to use it. It happened to be the other day when some happy designer papers and they were a good match to my image. The image is colored with my promarkers.

 I believe the image is from Mo Manning, and the designer papers from Echo Park. I have used a die from Lawn Fawn for my border, some black pearls from my stash and some wooden stars to top it off. The photo is a bit strange in the colors, but they are happy and bright, but not this bright. Sorry about that!

Take good care and do something that makes you happy!

Morning and hello!

Hi! I am back again a just for fun card, 34th this year. For this one has I used a Magnolia stamp that I bought earlier this year. I think that I already have shown a card with this image. But here comes another one! I am always trying to use my stamps more than once, however some become extra fun to use, and others are still in their original package in my scrap studio waiting to be used. Hope they will stay their so I can use them when I feel like using them.

 Well then, I have paired the image with some lovely designer papers from either Echo Park or Carta Bella. Or both... They are lovely together those brands. The sentiment is from PY hobby. 

Well then, have a good weekend and don't forget to do something that makes you happy!

Christmas in September over at Passion for Markers

Morning and hello!

It is that time again when it's time for a new fun challenge over at Passion for Markers. This week's theme is set to "Christmas in September". How fun isn't that? We all know how we will need those Christmas cards in December.

Our sponsor this week is Color of Love. They are offering one lucky winner a lovely prize of three digital images from their store. 

As it has been a bit of a rough time for my body with all moist and changing weather the last couple of weeks, have not used a sponsor image this time. I have used an old favorite from Bugaboo this week. Well, I had the card ready as I know that it will come times when I need to have something ready for my challenge cards. 

This image is colored with my promarkers and I have paired my image with some great designer papers from Simple Stories. Sorry I don't remember what paper pad I have used this time. 

I have used a paper punch from my stash for the left panel, a simple look, but a great detail. A fairly broad ribbon that I have tied to bow, and some black gemstones in two different sizes that matches the black cardstock panels. They work so good together with the broad lines that Bugaboo had when they made their charming images. I miss them!

Well, I hope that you will find some inspiration from my card and take some time to create a card or two for our fun challenge this week.

Have a good week and do take time to do something that you enjoy!

Love n hugs

Marie
