Busy Busy Day

Hi again, second time today. Realized that I have a card for a challenge that will close in a day and I better get it before I forget all about it. I am so caught up in the CC I take part in at the moment so I don't know what the time is or anything. And tonight I will get robed of one of my beloved hours. Hate it when we have to change the clock one hour forward. Love it the other way. The best thing in the world is to wake up Sunday morning, look at the time and realize that hey I can stay in bed for one more hour and time will be the same. :) Best gift ever. Guess I have to stand it being taken away first. LoL

Ok, back to my card which is made for the Bildmålarna challenge and this month the challenge is "yellow". Once again it's a baby card I have made. I have made this one for my parents to send as one of my brothers got his first kid a week ago. I didn't plan to show the card here before my parents had sent it but as mum is always late with things like this, I can't wait anymore. I just hope they are so busy with their baby boy that they don't check any mails or postings on FB. LoL

The image is coloured with distress inks and cut out with spellbinder dies. I think I borrowed the sketch from  Papertake weekly (have to check that). The designer paper is from the new Bildmålarna realize on the front and Maja Design Vintage Spring. The pad is to die for, if you don't have it, go and get it right away. :) Also the new Bildmålarna papers are to die for. Really lovely, wish I have had one more of this yellow one so I could have made the inside the same, well maybe next time. The poem on the inside is also from Bildmålarna, and so is the charm if I remember correct. Some pearls, hearts and ribbon is used as decorations.

See you soon again and then I'll be writing in Swedish again. LoL

Love n hugs

A new card

Hi and hello! I am finally here again. After being knocked out by a new cold I have finally managed to get myself out of bed and if not running, at least functioning again even if I am really tired. I thought that I should take the chance of showing a card that I made last year but hasn't been blogged yet for some reason. There was a period in November/December when we had tons of birthday both in the closest family and within the kids circle of friends. And it all the Christmas cards the cards I made in between got kind of lost. But I still do have Christmas cards that hasn't been shown yet. Be warned, they might show up in the middle of the summer. LoL

Anyway, over at one of our big museums here in Kalmar, well to be honest, our only big museum they have exhibition about pirates from past to present. And as my kids are in the ages soon to be 5 and just turned 6 they love everything about this theme. And the clever museum let you rent the place for parties. So many parties over at the museum and then you need to have a proper pirate card to give away, right? Yepp, that's what my boys thinks too and this is the first of the cards of that theme.

I don't remember from where the designer papers are, but it is a Halloween pack, perfect for pirate cards in a different colour scheme. The second one made has been done in more classic red, blue and whites. As it is a boys card it's not too many embellishments on it but there is a lovely fitting charm, some scrapper's floss that I bought tons of in strange colours, I just know it would come in handy one day. LoL. Also a few black pearls are added. 

The image is from Lili of the Valley and is so cute. The LOTV images are wonderful with their boys images. I just love them. :) The pirate and his little four legged friend is coloured with my normal Letraset family.

Crafty Hugs,

Marie
