Dies and or punches

Hello! Hope you're having a great week, or at least better than mine. I do truly hate this weather, going from snow to rain, warm to cold. It's spring weather, well March weather and it's so painful for me at the moment. I did book that appointment with the doctor and it's only a few days left until I get to see her, but for now it feels like forever. Oh well, on Monday...

But first at least something that made me simle even if it has taken me forever to get this together. I have made a new card for my first challenge of the year over at the Paper Shelter. And do you know what? I have still managed to keep to my scrap box and used leftovers from other creations. These are a mix from Maja design papers. 

I have used the most wonderful image called I miss you, but I used the version without the sentiment. This way I can use it for more things than just "missing someone". She is coloured with my promarkers and I must say I have become a bit lazy with my markers. I stick to a few ones that is easy to access and easy to bring to the sofa. It's the limited editions from 2013 and the skin colours. I need to find a way around this as I will run out of pink, green and blue scrap papers really fast this way. :)

I have used a whole bunch of cicle dies from different companies, some new and some old ones and a border punch from Martha Stewart. So both punches and dies are used here. I have added a few pearls, a pearl string, a doily, some pink left over ribbon, a charm, a thin lace on the top of the card and some rose ribbon as decorations. I hope you like the way the card came out and I also hope to see you come and play with us over at the Paper Shelter. You don't have to use one of our images but we love it when you so. You can enter up to three times but then one of your creations need to have any TPS product on it, either dps or image. 

As always we have a gift voucher worth $30 up for grabs if you play with any TPS product. Playing with another brand gives you the chance of winning three (3) digis of your choice. Come on now crafters we know that you love these images and we would really like to see a few more of the Paper Shelter images.

Love n hugs

Kind of CAS

Hello! Hope you're having a great weekend so far and are getting some crafting done. I have a few hours to myself at the moment and it feels really good. I have been home from school for one and a half week with first a sick kid, then I got sick, then the next kid and the first one got sick again. And to finish it all off my partner and I got sick again too. I am still feeling sick and my head is hurting and I cough like the rest of the gang... Hopefully this was the big one for this winter.

I feel I needed to be alone for a while even if it wasn't that popular by my boys. Willy is celebrating his birthday with friends in the bowling alley. We got together a few of the parents and let the boys have their party together. A win win situation as it gets cheeper for all and we save a few days where we don't have to plan for going to parties. And we don't have do prepare anything. Jippi!

I also just realized that Christmas and Advent will be here soon. Next Sunday is first of Advent. I thought there was one more week before that, but no. It's here now. What happend with November? In the coming week I'll have the window cleaner here. Yes, I know doesn't it sound flashy? We have this luxury a few times each year and it's because I have a friend who owns a company that clean windows and do house cleanings and stuff like that. It's wonderful not having to think about the windows at least. Mats, my partner does so much here anyway. I can't do those heavy stuff, I can't even "drive" the vaccum cleaner without ending up in pain.

BUT this isn't why you are here, listening to my ramblings, is it? Well, thought so. LoL Well, over at the Paper Shelter the other week we had the theme of Snowflakes and I had a card made. Then Vero came up with the cutest little snow men image I've seen and I wanted to make a card with that image. So the card I am showing now got replaced by that one. You can see the snowmen card here. The photo is scary as it turned out very bright. The one shown here isn't that much better. LoL

I love this wonderful image from last year and I made a simular card with the same image then. But I like how it turns out. The image is perfect for this kind of simpler designed cards. I have matted it on a glittery cardstock but it doesn't show and I have used a whole bunch of punched snow flakes and added a gemstone to the center of each one of them. A red ribbon with the text "God Jul" (merry Christmas) on it, finish this little creation off. Even if there is one or too many snowflakes here and the photo is bad I love this card, and I will probably make a new one almost like this one the coming year. LoL

Thanks for looking and enjoy the rest of your weekend. If we don'e see eachother sooner than later, at least I will be back on Tuesday with a new post for Passion for Promarkers. Until then...

Love n hugs
Marie

Any sentiment except birthday

Morning everyone! Time for a new Aud Sentiment posting for me. Can't believe that two weeks already has passed me by. It's the turn of the B-team of the Aud sentiment challenges to give you some new fresh inspiration. On you creation we would love to see a sentiment that isn't birthday related.

This time we're sponsored by Stamp Art Design. The winner have a chance of winning five of these sweet images.  Nice right? Great! Then take some time and make a card for our challenge and you are half way there!

For my card I have used the super cute image called Snow Mail. I just love my snow men and for this one I had the perfect sentiment made by our own MC. Sending snowy hugs could come from no one other than a sweet looking snow man.

I have coloured my snowy friend with my Letraset Markers. Also a tiny touch of Prisma Pens is used for a little more shadowing.Thank godness that I picked an image with little to colour as my hands are so unstable at the moment. But everything works out, just takes a bit of extra time. I have used designer papers from NitWit collections. I think that they are from two different sets. Sorry I am a bit blur in my mind because of my meds, don't saying that I wouldn't be if I wasn't taking them. LoL

To ad details to my card I used a whole bunch of bits and pieces that I have been keeping since last winter season. So my snowy trees, wing covered with glitter and embossing powder, and snow flake has been ready to find their card a long time. But better late than never right? The snow flake border with gem stones is new for this "winter". Doily and ribbon is also from my stash.

Ok my friends. This was all from me for today. It was good seeing you all again. Please come back soon and I try to have something ready for you to see. I'm entering my final stadge of studies at the moment so I am fairly busy with that, but you never know. Take care!

Love n hugs
Marie

Stars or hearts

Morning everyone! A new card for you today. Today is TPS-day here on my blog and for this new challenge over at the Paper Shelter, which by the way has the theme of Stars and/or hearts, have I made a card using both. 

We are quite a few who has used the same image for this challenge so there is plenty of different inspiration going on for the challenge and the image "Reach for the stars". I however couldn't help myself and used DP's with hearts on to pair up with the image. They come from an old collection from Bildmålarna that I really love. 

I have coloured my image on some craft card with prisma pens this time. I had a period of doing that and this is a left over from that period. I have only used a few die cuts to decorate the card with. The star border is from Magnolia and the stars in the corners are made with a Joanna Sheen confetti die. 

As always we have a gift voucher worth $30 up for grabs if you play with any TPS product. Playing with another brand gives you the chance of winning three (3) digis of your choice. 

Sweet and short today as Philip my youngest is home from school having fever for the third day in a row. Wonder when it will break? And will Willy stay of the cold? The story continues. And I who just started a new class. It will be late work tonight I think. Sorry about by photo by the way, a very bright sun of fall is shining today. I need to learnn how to handle this. I am still working with my messy craft room to give it some more space hopefully and to that I hope it will come a place to take better photos. :)

Enjoy your day!

Love n hugs
