Wow we are sure you’ll agree our sponsors have been super generous once again this year!  We are so grateful to have their continued support.  

Ok, my card then! I have used an image from Sassy Sherryl that was a huge favourite of mine. It was sad when she closed her digital image store. I adore the images that I have. They are sweet and fun to colour. Totally charming!

I have coloured with my Promarkers this time and used a paper pad from Poland. Can't really remember the name of the pad but it's lots of muted colours. It's so lovely when being in a more vintage mood. The paper quality is a bit thin, but I still can't resist their designer papers. The sentiment is from hÄnglar and Wings.

To decorate the card have I used a thing string of green twine, a snowflake charm in copper and a piece of accetate with glittery dots on it. To finish it off have I used some glittery Nuvo drops. 

And with this card do I take the time to wish you all who uses PFM for an inspirational source a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! May 2024 be the best year yet!

Love n hugs

Mini Monday 6-23

 Morning and hello!

I am here again with one of my mini cards. This time am I showing up a little snow man building by my dear mice. Santa Claus is hiding and looking at all the fun they have together.

Santa have also brought his doggy for a winter walk. It have been lots of fun to make these cards and I am grateful that I have done all the prepping way earlier, the boring stuff! This card came out super sweet!

Love n hugs

Morning and hello!

Here comes another tiny card in the size of 7 x 5 cm, They are my cards for my pen pals. I send them with my letters between November and a few days into January.

All the images are from Lawn Fawn as well as the silvery snowflake designer paper. The trees are made with a die that I don't know the brand of. I love their shape. 

Love n hugs

Just for fun 46-23

Morning and hello! 

Hi! I am back once more this week! I have made a winter card just because I really enjoy making them. I love my snow men and had to try using two of them at the same time. Some loving snow men. As in Frost, the movie: some people are worth melting for. 

The stamp set is from hÄnglar and Wings and is called Små Snögubbar. There is a larger version as well. This image is coloured with a mix of alcohol markers. 

The designer papers are from Prima, it's a fairly new pad, maybe last year or so but I have not used it before. I have been digging a bit in my stash and have found some flowers, leaf and pearls in my stash that went well with my designer papers. I have also used a jute ribbon that went well with the rest of the stuff. For an extra shine have I also used a golden card stock behind the image. 

Hope you like my little creation and try to take some time in the busy month of December to do something that you really enjoy!

Love n hugs

Another crafting love of mine!

Morning and hello! 

Today do I have a little different craft to show off. Since I went on sick leave August 2020 have I spent quite a lot of time with my crochet needle. It keeps me off thinking about how I feel and calms me down. I don't have to think much when crocheting. 

I found a project called Tröstemöss (=Comfort mice) which is a charity project that makes small toys for kids that for some reason ends up at the hospital. They are given to them to give some comfort and give them something else to think about when they are scared. We have finally found an ambassador that take care of the hospital here in Kalmar. That wash and dry and check the little animals before they are handed over to the hospital. I had saved most of the toys I have made during these years and two weeks ago did I finally got to hand over my toys, and they will finally come to good use. I had 477 to hand over to A:A. So pleased with myself and I am happy that those kids are treated better than I was when being at the hospital as a kid.

I have now started a new batch and now will it be easier to hand over to a our ambassador and I will not have to send them by mail.

Find yourself a project that will make you feel good and take part in it!

Love n hugs
