More blooms

Morning to you all. Midweek already, how fast does the time pass by? Still in tons of pain as my knee refuses to go back to normal again. It's probably the warm moist weather that gives all the trouble for me. I hope that it will settle soon as the pain is dreadful and I get so horrible tired of the pain. Oh well, keep smiling and it will be fine, some day. Wish it was fall again. Less pain and better air, high and clear hopefully. :)

So Wednesday means a new challenge over at the Paper Shelter and this week is a bit special to us. We have managed to reach and pass the magical line of 1000 follower of our beloved challenge blog and we are so grateful for that. It's such a milestone for us all, and I am so blessed to have been on this journey from the beginning. So to celebrate this we are having a little more prizes to give away this week. We are giving someone the normal $30 gift certificate and then we have another one worth $20 to give away as well. And the best part is that these prizes are open for everyone, not only the ones playing with the TPS products. So come on and join us in our challenge this week which is "Make it bloom". It should not be so hard to join in, right? We want to see at least two flowers on your creation, may it be on the dp, the image or as decorations, we don't mind, as long as your creation is blooming.

For my card I have used the team favourite called Adorable Cowgirl. She is coloured with my trusty Letraset Family. She is paired up with some wonderful designer papers that I believe is made for this image from NitWit collections. :) So perfect for this image, and the best part is that they have another set that is going in red and blues if you feel that is a better pick for your card. But I went girly with browns and pinks for this one, as the card was made for one of my nieces on her birthday. And they are girly girls both her and her twin sister. LoL

The flowers are from Magnolia, Wild Orchid Crafts and I am Roses. So a big mixture there. The lace is also from WOC. A swirl from Prima is also used together with some pearls from Bunny Zoe's.

So the them is Make it Bloom, please do come and join us and help celebrate our big milestone over at the Paper Shelter this week.

Love n hugs

Challenge time

Morning to you all! Hope the day is filled with sunshine and happiness. Myself is preparing to go to "Folkuniversitetet" where I have my "get back to working life" meeting of the week. Should have been the stables as well, but I am in way too much pain for that today. My right leg is refusing to straighten out at this point. So no good idea going to the stables then, besides I got tons of pain when I went there last. I am not really sure it's such good idea to be there for me unfortunately.

We have a new challenge up for you over at the Bearly Mine Challenges this week. The theme is set to "Spring flowers". That means we want to see some of them on your creation. Not that hard I hope?

For my card have I used one of Donnas new digi sets called Floral Surprise and Mini Dots. Don't ask why I used that soft organge mini dot stripe, I should have gone for something more bold but now it's too late. LoL The image is from The stamping boutique and is called Tulips. Tulips was my grandmothers favourite flowers and I had here in my mind when making this card. It's a little more than a week since she passed now and I will miss her dearly. She was over 98 years old and very senile so it was a blessing for her, still...

The image is coloured with my Letraset Family and added details with my Prisma pencils. The daisy flowers are from the Ribbon girls and I made the leaves with a boss cut die. Gemstones from Magnolia. And the card design is inspired by a sketch from Little Claire Designs. I love the clean look of this design even if I have altered it slightly. Artistic freedom, right?

Our sponsors this week is I am Roses and The Greeting Farm. More info is found over the challenge blog.

Do please come and join us and spread some flowers into the world! We could all use some colours in our lifes.

Love n hugs
Marie
