A little posting again

Hi there! Have survived a kiddie party for the first time in my life. Yes! 10 loud lads and a gal. That's a party for sure. It all went fine and my cold is leaving and it feels good. Tired and relaxed is the summery of todays activity.

Now, I have been working with some cards for the teachers and staff at the schools were my kids spends their days and last night when I couldn't sleep I managed to finish the first batch of them. Only 6 to go now, but I have been a clever gal and coloured up some images so it won't take that long to finish. Clever right?

I have used last weeks sketch over at the Sugar bowl as it was a simple one and I didn't want too much fuss as the card is a bit smaller than normally. It's a book card and now at least one of them is filled with some yummy chocolate. Hope it will stay there until it's time to give the card away. LoL

I have showed number 1 here earlier and here comes number two. Once again I have used the image from Sugar Nellie called Snow flake (still a thought). I could go and check for it's name but I am too tired for that. She is coloured with my Letraset family warm greys and reds as main colours. I so have a soft spot for the warm grey shades. If it wasn't given such dull impression to most people I would go all in more than once, that's for sure. And the best part is that greys doesn't look strange as skin tones either. Great colour!

The designer papers are from Dove craft and it's classic range. Love the colours in this collection. Just wonderful for a classy Christmas feel. A bunch of flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts and some ribbon from Joanna Sheen and TGR here in Sweden. Metal corners are also from WOC. A red berrie cluster from Magnolia. A doily from Nellie Snellen. Some extra little details with a snowflake and a wooden button in the flower cluster, just for a little extra to be found in the details.Some golden rod stickles make my Christmas complete this creation. The third card in this "collection" will be shown just another day when I feel like popping something in here. :) Wish you a lovely Saturday with lots of warmth. We have -4 degrees here right now so I guess winter is truly here now. Brrr! Straight down to the basement and the fire I have going there, time to write some letters and do a little colouring now when I am the only one up. My partner is out for a bowling spree with his friends tonight.

Love n hugs
Marie

Challenges for this card
Passion for Promarkers - Distressing (here made around all edges with some distress inks)

I love Promarkers - Anything goes

Totally Gorjuss - Anything goes - With glitter

A Magonlia card

Could not sleep again last night strangely enough. I was up the main part of the day and the night before that with a sick kid again. :( It was a very long night let me tell you that. Now it's getting better and I do hope that the little one won't get this as well. Spent a lot of hours in the laundry room again...

The stamp is one of my all time favourties from Magnolia, Snowy with star. He has gotten some snow flakes around him, flower soft snow and lots of glitter glue. He is coloured with my promarkers. For the decorations I've used a ribbon from Wild Orchid Craft and I think that the pins are from there as well. Card Craft Candy, dew drops from the flower shop, and a charm from Bunny Zoe makes other parts of the decos together with the snow flake from  Panduro.

There is a few Challenges that this card fits into this week:

* Just Magnolia - white + one colour (blue in my case)

* Die Cut Dreams x-mas challenge -  Anything goes

* A spoon full of sugar - Anything goes

* Totallygorjuss Challenge - Not so traditional x-mas colours

* Papertake weekly Challenge - Cut it out (Border with DH Magnolia lace)

* I love promarkers - Anything goes, with a little bit of sparkle
* Fussy and Fancy Friday Challenge - Christmas without red and green

Now of to some rest and maybe read a story to Willy who has been out playing in the snow for a little while. It came this night and I didn't have the heart to tell him to stay in even if he is still not totally well. He had a blast out there but not so much energy.

Hugs,

Marie

Good Morning!

Yet another Christmas card has came out from my crafting room. What will I do with all of these? But hey, as long as I have fun that's fine. This time I've gone all digital with both stamp and papers. The digi stamp is from Mo's digital pencil. I bought it way back to use at another challenge but got sick and never finished it, so it has been laying around for a while. I adore this image as it is how it has looked here the last couple of X-mases. Two young cats loving to play with the baulbs. They have so much fun, and look so totally surprised and silly when stuff comes down from the tree.

The designer papers is from Bearly Mine Designs new Christmas digi set (Christmas Dream) that goes on sale this Friday 12th. It's a great set that Donna has put together and you really should go and check it out together with the rest of her lovely digi papers.

I have followed the sketch from the Totally gorjuss challenge and will also enter this card to the new challenge at Fairytale challenges where the theme is "Anything Goes" as this is their first challenge. At Christmas card Challenges there is a inspirational picture to use. (I went for the X-mas tree).

I used my big shot to make a few buttons and a star with dies from Sizzix and Spellbinders. They are also made out of Donna's DP. I just added a star pin from Wild Orchid Crafts to match it all up.

Now I have planed for a little work out at the gym so I better prepare myself for that. Take care and I look forward to see you again!

Hugs,
Marie
