Sunday and feeling crappy

Good afternoon everyone. Hope you are feeling better than I am today. My neck is killing me and I hardly feel my fingers. Luckly I know that when the neck pain eases I will feel my fingers and again. It's just that it takes a lot longer than it normally does for some reason. Guessing it spells inflammation in the neck... Enough, talking about it doesn't make me feel better either, so we try to forget about it. :)

Have a little Magnolia card to show today. It was made for my cousins youngest son when he finished school about a month ago. Now he is plumber, another handy man in the family. Now we only need a painter and a bricklayer and we cover the most areas when it comes to stuff like that. LoL


Mr Edwin here is colored with my normal Letraset family and I am using designer papers from Landstoken here. Flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and I am Roses. The card goes in blue and yellow, the colours of the Swedish flags. When you finish school everything goes in those colors as hardly any school in Sweden uses uniforms.

Now time to finish of another card for a upcoming challenge and then maybe some soccer after that. No one has missed the fact that UEFA has a Euro Championships going for the ladies here in Sweden, and we even have a few of the games here in Sweden. Tonight for example Norway - Netherlands.

Love n hugs

Finally back

Hello, hello hello! I am back, finally back! It feels like I have been gone forever but I have just been busy as the kids has been off school for a week. Less time to do your normal things then, and last Saturday we celebrated W. 6th birthday with relatives and close family. I have even been so busy that I forgot to make him a card! Now I have to do it afterwards as he says he needs his yearly card. LoL So typical for him! A bought one was not ok, cause mum makes them much better, he said. Guess if I got some energy back after that?

I have a new card to show and this time I have a birthday card made. My youngest son was at a birthday party a few hours before W started his, so I had to make a card for the neighbor's daugther as P said you have to have a card when you go to a party. They are well trained my boys aren't they?


This is what I came up with for Ebba. P picked out the image himself and gave me rebuff on my colouring. He wasn't happy with the colours I started with, so I re coloured Tilda wit Daisy and he was a happy kid. I coloured her with distress inks.  I paired her up with some designer papers from Bearly Mine Designs called Petunia Parade. With some black cardstock it made the whole card a little more interesting for a kid.

I also used some glitter strips from Anita's and used a good amount of silver coloured stickles. All the dies used on this card is from Doo Hickeys, Magnolia. For some more fun details I also used a pearl pen from my stash to make a few dots here and there.

And since it is Tuesday and my week to host the challenge over at Bearly Mine Challenges, I better tell you all our theme for the week. We are going all in and have Anything goes this week. So I bet I will see you over at the Bearly Mine Challenges, right?

Love n hugs
