Make it digital

Morning to you all! I am finally back with a new creation. And a busy week it is! :) Todays challenge over at Passion for Promarkers is hosted by me and the theme set is "Make it Digital". So we want to see anything digital. That is image and or designer papers. You still have to colour on your own using any kind of markers from Letraset. Hope this is nice and easy.

For my simple yet cheerful card have I used the same digi set called Snow Fun from the Digi Stamp Boutique as I did last time "my" team had a challenge up over at PFP. There was so many images that I thought I use them again, even if I had used this snow man before. This time I flipped him around as well so he and his twin brother could dance around the sentiment together. A really joy to colour up and for the first time in ages have I not made a square card. It was really nice to do this size for a change.

It's very simple and that means it will be cheep on postage as well. I think I need to make a few more of these. And on top of that I used only scrap pieces of both card stock and designer papers. How great isn't that? A few corners made with a Whimsy stamp die and a few white pearls from Bunny Zoe's is the only decorations I used for this card. Told you it was simple! LoL The dp's are from last years collection from Dove craft if I remember right.

I have such a mess around me at the moment that it's strange that I get anything done. But the face is that I have many cards on the go at the moment and to make things even "worse" my olderst decided that it was time to make a few pages for his scrapbooking album. Let's say that the room ain't big enough for both of us. And my stash ain't built for him to rumble around on his own. But it's fun that he wants to do it and to be fair, he uses quite a lot of stuff that I wouldn't use myself. I should be grateful shouldn't I?

Sponsoring this challenge of ours is Digi Stamp Boutique. The winner have a voucher worth £10 waiting for you in the end of the challenge. That's a really treat!

Ok, I try to keep it short as I have two more cards to finish for this week and I am running late with one of them. Bad me! It was such lovely weather yesterday so I decided to spend an hour and a half outside watching my little scrapbooker play football/soccer. :)

Take care everyone and I see you tomorrow again!

Love n hugs

April Showers...

Hello and good afternoon everyone! Sorry everyone that I has been so quiet here lately. I really lost all energy the other week and just thought about my granny that passed away a few weeks ago. It totally drained me, and even the weather worked with me on this. All rain, just poured down and didn't want to stop, which is really suitable for this challenge from the Crafty Card Makers team. The theme for the coming two weeks are "April Showers gives May flowers". So a rainy image together with at least two flowers and you'll be fine for our challenge this time. 

My card this time is done with quite a lot of Magnolia products. I really was in the mood to colour with my distress inks and images that is the most fun to colour with these are the Magnolia stamps for some reason. Besides, I have an huge box filled with Magnolias that I have never use so I better get started. This is one of all my Tildas with rubber boots. I love the images with that, I actually have a whole collection with them. LoL 

Tilda is paired up with an old Kaiser Kraft pad called The Daisy pad. Flowers are from Magnolia, The ribbon girls and Wild Orchid Craft. Butterflies made with a MS punch, the fabric ones comes from my stash. All edges are covered with some heavy gesso, and I followed the sketch from CLP challenges. Glossy accent and Crackle paint is also used on the image. Some text stamps is also used and they are from Magnolia too. 

And this is what our challenge post says more or less this time. Be sure to pop by our challenge blog for all details and see what my teamies has been up too. Some fabby inspiration to be found there. 

"Tracey said 'Hello friends. When I think of April, I am always reminded of the saying "April showers bring May flowers". For this challenge, I would like to see cards that include an image of something rain related and are embellished with at least2 flowers. Your image could be a child splashing in puddles, a person walking in the rain, ducks waddling through puddles, an umbrella, etc.'

Please ensure your creation has both something rain related, and a minimum of two flowers to qualify for a winner or Top 5 slot.

Bear time

Hi there! I am back again trying to write something up here for my new card. I am really tired today. I hate spring even if this spring seems more like winter. We had -16 degrees Celicius last Saturday. That's nice. I do get so tired when the spring comes, maybe because I am always going into a period of pain during this time. Me or rather my body can't stand the changes between temperatures and the moist that comes with it.  Oh well, fall will be here soon again. LoL

It's time for a new challenge over at the Bearly Mine Challenges and this time we are doing the easy one, "Anything goes". Bet we'll have one or two entries this week. :)

This time I have used a sponsor image from Teddy Bo and Bea. Isn't she cute? She is coloured with my Letraset family and some Prisma pencils for some extra shadowing. Designer papers are a sky free bee from Donna, Gingham and Summer Light. Flowers are handmade most of them with dies from Marianne Design, and Memory Box. Two roses from WOC and I am Roses. Lace is from the super market and pearls from Rox Stamps, Sweden and Bunny Zoe. The heart in the upper corner is from Magnolia, a puch is used for the lace panel and it's from X cut.

Sponoring our challenge this week is Crafty Sentiments with a lovely stamp and Teddy Bo gives away three digi Teddy Bo trio images. See further details on our challenge blog.

So I bet I see you around this week. Talk to you soon again.

Love n hugs

A Magnolia card

Here I am again - another card to show of. Going a way for a few days so it will be quiet here in my blog so I thought I do a little posting tonight.

I felt it was a long time since I made a magnolia card and this particular stamp have I never used. It has actually not been in my hands for that long even if it's a bit old. One of the faves when it comes to Edwin. I have paired him up with DP from Bearly Mine's, the digi set called Christmas Wishes. The sentiment stamp is from Magnolia too. Flowers made with a Magnolia die as well. The little guy is coloured with my normal promarkers/triamarkers.

Love n hugs
