Any sentiment except birthday

Morning everyone! Time for a new Aud Sentiment posting for me. Can't believe that two weeks already has passed me by. It's the turn of the B-team of the Aud sentiment challenges to give you some new fresh inspiration. On you creation we would love to see a sentiment that isn't birthday related.

This time we're sponsored by Stamp Art Design. The winner have a chance of winning five of these sweet images.  Nice right? Great! Then take some time and make a card for our challenge and you are half way there!

For my card I have used the super cute image called Snow Mail. I just love my snow men and for this one I had the perfect sentiment made by our own MC. Sending snowy hugs could come from no one other than a sweet looking snow man.

I have coloured my snowy friend with my Letraset Markers. Also a tiny touch of Prisma Pens is used for a little more shadowing.Thank godness that I picked an image with little to colour as my hands are so unstable at the moment. But everything works out, just takes a bit of extra time. I have used designer papers from NitWit collections. I think that they are from two different sets. Sorry I am a bit blur in my mind because of my meds, don't saying that I wouldn't be if I wasn't taking them. LoL

To ad details to my card I used a whole bunch of bits and pieces that I have been keeping since last winter season. So my snowy trees, wing covered with glitter and embossing powder, and snow flake has been ready to find their card a long time. But better late than never right? The snow flake border with gem stones is new for this "winter". Doily and ribbon is also from my stash.

Ok my friends. This was all from me for today. It was good seeing you all again. Please come back soon and I try to have something ready for you to see. I'm entering my final stadge of studies at the moment so I am fairly busy with that, but you never know. Take care!

Love n hugs
Marie

Stars or hearts

Morning everyone! A new card for you today. Today is TPS-day here on my blog and for this new challenge over at the Paper Shelter, which by the way has the theme of Stars and/or hearts, have I made a card using both. 

We are quite a few who has used the same image for this challenge so there is plenty of different inspiration going on for the challenge and the image "Reach for the stars". I however couldn't help myself and used DP's with hearts on to pair up with the image. They come from an old collection from Bildmålarna that I really love. 

I have coloured my image on some craft card with prisma pens this time. I had a period of doing that and this is a left over from that period. I have only used a few die cuts to decorate the card with. The star border is from Magnolia and the stars in the corners are made with a Joanna Sheen confetti die. 

As always we have a gift voucher worth $30 up for grabs if you play with any TPS product. Playing with another brand gives you the chance of winning three (3) digis of your choice. 

Sweet and short today as Philip my youngest is home from school having fever for the third day in a row. Wonder when it will break? And will Willy stay of the cold? The story continues. And I who just started a new class. It will be late work tonight I think. Sorry about by photo by the way, a very bright sun of fall is shining today. I need to learnn how to handle this. I am still working with my messy craft room to give it some more space hopefully and to that I hope it will come a place to take better photos. :)

Enjoy your day!

Love n hugs

Another little creation

Morning everyone! It's Friday and the weekend is finally here. How good is that? I've been feeling so tired the last week and never seems to sleep enough or is it to much? Oh well, I think the old knee is playing games with me and make the sleep a non quality one. Strange as I am not in that much pain during the day, only stiff and it bends the wrong way from time to time but it has been like that before. Oh well, only tired not so much in pain for once. I do love the fall and how I feel then. :)

This is a wedding card I made during the summer. Found out about it early in the summer and thought "great plenty of time and piece of cake". What happens? I wait till the last week and realize I have to make two cards and they are going to the same couple, and of course the same theme. What happens? Everything goes into spinn and the well known scrapper's block decides to move in. LoL Guess if I was pleased when I had finished both cards? I am only showing one here today, the second one I made. As the couple isn't one that likes many details and swirly stuff. I still went with swirls but kept the card simple. 

Thanks to my friend Annelie who sent me a stunning birthday card during the summer I got the idea of how to make the folds and get a pocket for money at the same time. Thanks for that. I really was stuck on ideas for this one. I used designer papers from Authentique to make both cards. The collection is called Irresistible Collection. Such high quality of papers. I loved working with them. And try to find a new reason to use them again. The swirly heart is from Stempelglede and is called Swirly Hearts. I heat embossed the heart on faux leader paper that my sons 1-year photos was mounted in before I got it framed. Good old recykling!

This is a look of the inside. The great cut out fitted perfect on the inside and There is a frame to write your personal greeting on. On the inside of the tab have I put some personal info and greeting, but as it's personal you never got to see it. ;) A really simple box to make the card complete was also made. The couple only wished for money for their big day as they want to travel the world, so with the this box it at least looked a little more than just a card with money in it. :)

Long post today. Sorry about that. Anyway, it has been fairly quiet on my blog this week as I have spent quite a lot of time going back and forward with my youngest to the hospital. Two check-ups in the same week for his club feet. But it looks really good so it was worth it. No more surgery as it looks now and no more special shoes more than one more year. We have to keep on working with the stretching of especially his left foot as that is quite stiff. But otherwise, it looks promissing! How great isn't that?

Love n hugs

An old one but never shown...

Hello everyone and thanks for all wonderful and lovely comments on my cards this last weeks. These really makes my day. It has been wonderful to read them and feel the inspiration coming back to me again. Besides it has been a good break between looking into all wonderful applicants to our design team call over at the Paper Shelter.  Talking about that, it's still a few days left to enter and I would love it if you took part in it. There is quite a few spots to fill again and our team are very delightful to work with and all the gals are wonderful. So don't miss the chance of being in one of the best teams out there. You will not regret it.

Saying all this good stuff about the paper Shelter should involve me showing a card using a TPS image, but I don't have any ready for you to see. For that you have to wait until next week when there is a new challenge both on the TPS challenge blog and Passion for Promarkers as well. :)

This card of mine was actually made last year. I never got a chance to show it and as the BIG holiday is coming up in about 100 + days, it might give someone, some inspiration to make a Christmas card. LoL I know I need the inspiration myself, I have about 37 more of them to make. That means I have managed to make the overwhelming amount of 3 Christmas cards for this year so far. LoL

The image from Magnolia is colored with distress inks and paired up with some lovely designer papers from Dove craft or PaperMania I think. Flowers from WOC and so is the lace. It was a box card made for one of Philip's teachers as their Christmas gift. I really should get those stamps out again and start coloring shouldn't I? Could anyone please finish of the cards for me when I have the colouring done? LoL I have actually put all the Christmas stamps that never have been used in one big bag and plan to use at least a few of them this year. Some things you just feel you need to have right here right now and then never uses them anyway. I have tons of that stuff, that I reeeaalllllly need right here right now and then it just get piled up in boxes waiting to be used. LoL It's time for a treasure hunt in those boxes let me tell you.

Now however, I have an evening filled with soccer ahead of me. The "big" team is playing against Irland late tonight, and in just a little while it's time for the U21 national team to take on Poland. Go Sweden!

Love n hugs
Marie
