Anything goes

Morning all you happy people! How are you doing? Hope your having a great week and that the sun is shining on you! Doing my best to cheer every one on here. LoL

It's midweek again and that means a new challenge over at the Paper Shelter and this time we are really going easy, and that has a reason. Stay tuned for that and have a look at the Paper Shelter blog on Friday. For now you have to enjoy our "anything goes" theme that will be on for the coming week.

Follow me regular you know that I have two sons with lots of friends and that means lots of boys cards. This is one in a long row of them. This was for a friend of my youngest son. I love these cheerful little guys that Veronica and Pedro draws. They are fun, charming and keep putting a smile on my face.

This image is called  Extreme! He is coloured with my Letraset markers and paired up with some great designer papers from Echo Park. What would I do without that brand when it comes to boy's cards. Always fun and cheerful they are. I have use one of the recent sketches from Papertake Weekly as just love them. They are really made for use over and over again. No extra embellishments here just die cut star with the birthday boy's age on it. It doesn't need more, and well I wasn't really in decorating mood either. LoL

I hope to see you come and join us and see what the rest of the gals has been up to. There is some great inspiration for you all to have a look at. 

Love n hugs

Papertake Weekly - Anything goes

Anything goes with option CAS

I am back again! LoL This time as a guest designer for Papertake Weekly. Another favourite challenge of mine that I have the honor to design for at the moment. This weeks theme is really simple and fits you all I think. It's the first challenge of the month and that means "Anything goes" with an option if you like to and this time it's to make a Clean and Simple card.

I did or at least tried to do one last week for my CCM card and this is my second try with that style. It's actually quite fun to make these cards and I get to spend more time with my markers and don't have to deal with that much dp's. It's at least as hard to make a good looking CAS card as a card filled with details and stuff everywhere. The this that makes the difference is that you can't hide any misstakes with the CAS cards. LoL

Sorry about the photo once again. Winter in Sweden means no daylight and I don't have a very good camera. Maybe the weather allows me to retake the photo. 

The lovely image from Sassy Sherryl's is coloured with my Letraset markers and this was one of those digis I just needed to have. It's adorable and I love snowmen images of all kind. They are so sweet looking. :) I have even been spending time with my boys making some with a Panduro kit. All made up with pipe cleaners,  wink bullets and fabric. Tons of fun and frustrations as they doesn't look like the ones on the box as the youngest said. He thought he be some kind of master of this but it's really hard especially when you never have done it before. They will be living in our gingerbread house this Christmas.

I coloured the image up on some Neenah card and cut it into size. I made a few panels with a die from Memory Box that I love. It's called pearl lace. I tied a bow and took some ribbon around it all and then added a few pearls for interest. Maybe I should have added a sentiment too but I couldn't find a fitting one so without it is for now.

I do hope you will come and join us for this simple challenge over at Papertake Weekly, and maybe even give the CAS style a try. It's hard and really fun!

Love n hugs
