It's that time again!

Yepp! The double Wendsday is back! And this week you might think that you see double, as I have two Paper Shelter cards to show.

So as you understand we are being sponsored by Veronica and Pedro from the Paper Shelter over at For Fun today. We are making anniversery cards this week. As I don't know for who my card will be yet I have not put any sentiment on it. The image is called Love in Venice. This time I have coloured with my Aquamarkers. Flowers are a mixture from different places and so is the pearls. My DP are from Bearly Mine Designs and it's called Love Dreams. 

You find all the info you need to know about the challenge over at For Fun Challenge Blog. I hope to see many of you taking part in our challenge this week.

Love n hugs
Marie

Just a little quickie post

Having a sunny Saturday here in Kalmar today and I'm spending most of it inside. The Lilacs are blooming everywhere and I'm so allergic to them, and still I love them. :)
I have made a little card for fun again, second time in a short while. I've said it before surgery is good for cardmaking. LoL

This time I thought I would join in with the challenge over at Lili of the Valley and their theme "Here comes summer". Me growing up on an island can't see much more summer than this. I really love this wonderful image. My little friend here is coloured with aqua markers.

My DP are from K and company "Hopscotch". Lovely wonderful colours. My decos are all from stash. And all knows that the tickets are from T. H. I guess? Well, I didn't use very many of them as I like my male cards a bit more simple. However, I played quite a lot with my gelly pearl maker pen. All transparent and I hope that draws the attention and thoughts to water. I followed a sketch, but of corse I have forgotten from where but it was really nice to work with, so thank you for that. :)

OK, time to start making some meetballs as the kids love it. Then me and Mats will finally go out and have dinner without them for the first time since I can't remember. It will be nice. I just hope that my pain doesn't take over the whole evening.

Love n hugs

It's sketch time at Bearly Mine Challenges

Morning to each and everyone of you! I'm back again with a new fresh card for the Bearly Mine Challenges. It's my turn to host and I would really love to see what you do with my

Sketch

Yepp! That's right! We are going sketchy for the next couple of weeks. My first one ever, please do show me what you make of it. I am so looking forward to that. Here is what the sketch looks like.

I have a bunch of new Magnolia stamps that I thought I should use before it's too late this spring. So both the sentiment and the main motive are from Magnolia. Coloured with Aquamarkers on water colouring paper Canson 300 gr. The "spotty" stamp is from Stempelglade. All the flowers are from Wild Orchid craft and pearls from Bunny Zoe. The DP used this time is from "Summer's Lace Dream",  "Spring Delights" and "Just Plain".

(Once again I had to take the photo in the eve, got some sunshine shadows from the windows, just think spring heat and the picture feels fine. :)  )

The sponsors this week is

 2 Digi sets of the winner's choice

 £10 Gift Certificate

$20 Gift Certificate

 Fantastic Ribbons - bag of buttons

So with this said I look forward to see your creations over at the Bearly Mine Challenges. And a big thank you to each and every one who leaves a little message here on my little corner of the blogging world.

Love n hugs for you all

Just for the fun of it again

It was a long time since I managed to sit down and just make a card for fun. This one has been on the goe for quite some time now. The image is from Stampavie and the Sarah Kay line. It's from last year I believe. It's coloured with different shades of sepia made with my aquamarkers. Love those little markers. They are so easy to bring a long when you are going somewere. The DP are from Bearly Mine, the brown with lace is called "The paper lace". The one with the dragonflies are from Springflight, the Dotty/spotty one is from one for the other spring collections. Lots of punched leafs and flowers under the roses from WOC. Pearls from BunnyZoe's.

Time to get the little monsters to bed. Everything gets so strange when the clock is suddenly one more hour than you thought. Instead of 1900 it's now 2000. Hate this day, but on the other hand I really love it when we get our missing hour back! :)

With this I leave you with love n hugs
Marie

At just For Fun this week...

...Mardi Gras is coming. OK, this was really hard. I had no clue about that event. Thanks to Google I could learn a bit about it. (We don't have many of these happenings here in Sweden.) And it looks like if you don't have a costume on you should wear the colours

Green, purple and gold

And that is what you are supposed to use on your cards for the challenge over at For Fun this week. Had a little trouble finding an image for these colors and had to think long and hard about it. Then I thought of this little uninked Tilda from Magnolia that I have had in my stash forever, and she do look fabby in Mardi Gras colors if I might say so. :) I have colored her with Aquamarkers from Letraset and some twinkling H2O's for the golden details. It might not show very well in the photo but it's a nice golden glitter to it IRL.

This time it's DP from Papermania that is used. Flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts and half pearls from BunnyZoe. Some stickles is used on the flowers and butterflies as well. Ok, I think I leave you with that. As usual one of my kids is sick, so it will be a day spent infront of the TV and tons of cartoons and may be a book or two.

Take care and love n hugs for you all,
Marie

We have a new challenge for you over at FOR FUN!

It's Wendsday again and here we are with a new challenge for you over at the For Fun Challenges. This week we are going Sketchy. So please use this sweet looking sketch and make a creation of your own and come and join us in the fun.

After seeing the snow coming down on us here in Sweden for two days in a row, I needed just a little touch of spring and I thought this little image would do the trick. It's from Bildmålarna and it's called "For my love" if I remember right. The sentiment is from an earlier club kit from the same company. Fitted perfect here I thought. My little teddy gang is coloured with my aquamarkers from Letraset. DP are from Bearly Mine once again. These are from an upcoming digi set, in the shop next week. Flowers are from WOC and so is the ribbon. Leafs made with a die from qickcutz, butterflie made with a Woodware punch. Half pearls from BunnyZoe.

Now it's time to relax for a while, rest my back and then some work out to see if I at least could get some little boost of energy back. Would be soo nice! See you soon! Don't forget to join us over at For Fun this week.

Love n hugs

It's the second time this week I'm showing a card for a challenge I design for. Woohoo! This time it's my first card for the For Fun Challenges. This week we're having a recipe challenge for you.

1 Image

2 Buttons or brads

3 Designer papers

For this card I'v used one of my beloved stamps from Lili of the Valley. I do adore their boy stamps. I have coloured this little guy with my aquamarkers from Letraset. Buttons is a gift from the cat shelter. Let me tell you they gave me tons of buttons. Have enoug for a lifetime, but I would like more of these wonderful wooden once. :) Designer papers are from Bearly Mine design. These ones comes from the Designer Extreme III. Lots of goddies on that one. The brown ribbon is recykled from a blanket I bought a while back and the other one is from Bunny Zoes craft.
