Just 4 Fun 7-22

Morning and hello!

Surprise! Back again this week. I thought that I would take the chance to do another post this week as I had a little energy left over for writing on the computer. I don't do that as much as I used to as it gives me more pain in my hands and fingers.

I have used the lady snowman from hÄnglar and Wings from the set called Snögubbar. She is so cute! I totally adore this set of stamps. I also have the mini version and hope to use them soon. This time have I paired my image with papers from the paper pad called Oh What fun! from Pink Fresh Studio. A lovely set with super high quality of the paper. Almost too good. They are really thick!

I have used a bunch of left over die cuts and enamel dots with sparkle and shine. The die cuts are from Lawn Fawn and Magnolia. My border is made with a punch from Martha Stewart. I also had access to a string with pearls that I used to give some dimension on the card. A ribbon finish this card off. 

I hope you like what you see and that I inspire you to play along with your stash and have some fun!

Take good care!

Love n hugs

Spots and/or strips over at Passion for Markers

Morning and hello!

It's time for our anniversary challenge over at Passion for Markers. Our theme is set to spots and/or strips. A nice and easy challenge to deal with, right?

For my card have I use a hÄnglar and Wings image and coloured with my promarkers. I have paired the image up with one of Echo Parks summer papers from the past.

Some rolled flowers and die cut leafs and butterflies is also added to the card. For some extra sparkle have I used some stickles and pearls.

Down below follows some details about the challenge from the original post. Sweet and short from me today as I have trouble with my health that doesn't seem to want to ease at all. So tired of it all!

 "Onto this week's challenge and we have a very special one for you this week as it's our 12th Anniversary.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to each and everyone! 

I hope that this new, fresh year will be way better than the last one. But most of all do I wish that my pain eases and relatives stop their childish fights over things. There is one thing better than "stuff" and it's great and happy memories with near and dears. Ok Leaving that subject here and now. Focus on the good stuff!

Last year did I make about a ton of cards compared to the year before. I think I have about 50 or 60 that isn't shown her yet. I have plenty of time at home and not being able to sleep has given me time to craft even if it would have been better if I slept.

Anyway, I thought that I should start the new year with one of my latest cards and one of my favourite ones as well. You know when all things just work out better than in your mind and it still looks good when you look at it a week or two later, and you still feel proud of your work. This is one of these cards!

It is a hÄnglar and Wings image, yep again. I totally fell in love with their images last year. The are both sweet and charming! This one is called Snöfolk and it comes in a set with a boy and a girl. There is also some sentiment stamps in the set and a snow lantern.

I have paired this fabby image with one of the new paper pads by Maja Design. It's the smaller one called Winter is coming. It's a lovely winter paper pack in purple and pink. Totally fantastic! This one is image is coloured with my Promarkers and I have used plenty of die cut snow flakes of different brands to decorate the card. I have actually decorated the inside of the card as well but have not taken any pictures of it. Don't ask me why, maybe because I hardly ever do that? Well I have promised myself to try doing that more often but the cards get really heavy doing that, and that means more postage! :)

Together with the die cut snow flakes and the wooden ones from my stash is also some gem stone used to add a little extra bling to the card.

Anyway, I wish you the best of years and hope you find time to enjoy the good moments. Don't forget to be "here and now" from time to time. I will try to do that better this year.

Take care and do something that brings you joy!

Love n hugs

Marie

Morning and hello!

Yet another Christmas card from me and once again have I used a fabby image from hÄnglar and Wings. This one is from the set called Pepparkakor. It means Gingerbreads in English. It's a classic cookie for Christmas that we love here in Sweden. Well, some of us do at least. They take forever to bake as the dough is always big and you eat a lot of it just like it is. It doesn't help that it should be in the the refrigerator a day or two as well. A lot of it mysterious disappears... 

I have used the old My Minds Eye paper pad for this card as well. I have paired it up with some wooden snow flakes, gem stones and some bakers twine in red and white. After all it's a Christmas card. The goat and the pig is a part of the stamp set as well. The leaf and berry is from one of the other new Pure Happiness kit 5. You find it in the hÄnglar Wing store as well. 

Love n hugs

Marie
