A spoon full of sugar goes sketchy

A spoon full of sugar has a lovely sketch for us all to follow this week.It looks like this and it's made by Sonia. Thanks for this great sketch! Great fun to work with. I will be using it again, so thanks a lot!

For my card I've used a Tilda from Magnolia, DP from Panduro. A cookie napkin from House of inspiration.  Half pearls from Bunny Zoe's. Tilda is coloured with distress inks in "happy" colours.

This is finally all from me for today! Three times during the same evening. I have been working on all cards at the same time, so they kind of got finished at the same time as well. Time for some TV-time, finally!

Have a good evening everyone!

Hugs,

Just Magnolia Monthly special

This week at Just Magnlia there is a chance to learn how to braid a basked. I have not done that in ages. I used to do that every now and then in thin wood when I was younger. Learned that from a school nurse! Willy my olderst son asked what I was doing and wanted to help so this project we made together. Great fun! He has chosen the DP and he wanted it to be two different. (I just glad that they matched). It's a download from Nitwit called, well something something. Can't find it right now. We had great fun together, me holding it some kind of straight while he was braiding. He is three so I'm really pleased with the end result expecting the worst from the beginning. He did a great job listening and understanding what he should do. Thanks for a great time with one of my sons! :)

I had coloured my Tilda in "way back", before I knew what I should use her for and the colours went great with Willys choise of papers as well. Can't be better in that way. We went for some bows and not so many decorations as the basked became quite busy with two different kind of DP, just some ribbons in blue and white.

This is the end result for us. At the moment the basket is filled with "Duplo" (the big Lego pieces). He got to keep it of course. He was after all a great little helper during this project, and Duplo is after all more healthy than candy! :)

A good night to you all!

Passion for promarkers week 37

Hi you all!

Have managed to put together a card or two during the weekend. Feels good to have worked with the hands for a while. :) This card is made for the Passion for Promarkers challenge this week which has a theme ‘all creatures great and small’. I dug out my woodware set of stamps (Peeking over), the very first stamps I bought when I went back to stamping. I still think they are the cutest! :) I made a card with a litte frame in it. I think it was Claudia at Pretty Pressings that had a tuorial on that. I enjoyed making another kind of card once again. The designer papers are from Magnolia, flowers from Reprint and Panduro, brads from Papermania and coloured with the promarkers.

Time for some relaxation in front of the TV with a cross stitch embrodery. Have to finish that picture soon. Have been working on way to long, and my hands needs to work a little more. Not a good "rheumatism" day today. :(

Have a nice evening and hugs,

Marie

Paper take weekly challenge Love Actually

Another challenge at Papertake Weekly. This time close to Valentine's day the theme is Love Actually. Once again I've used some Magnolia stamps from the new winter collection. Hanging tilda and ribbon with bow and hearts. They are coloured with distress inks from TH. CS from Basill and DP from Panduro (a design pad). Some "greyish/purple" half pearls from BunnyZoe, and some heart brads from stash. The result looks like this. (Sorry about the strange photo, just couldn't get it straight today).

It has snowed again this night. It's a night mare! It's wet and it's lots of it. I don't want more snow now. Where is that yellow thingie they call sun? I would love to see some it, now please! The boys are at kindergarten having fun with their friends but it is soon time to pick them up again. Time goes so fast during days. And really slow during the nights since P. refuses to sleep calm. He seems to have a period with lots of dreaming. Screams and cry in the sleep and the rest of us don't get to sleep either. Hope it will be better soon.

Anyway, have a good day!

Hugs,

Marie

Friday Sketchers week 87

At Friday Sketchers this week there is a lovely sketch made by Jeanette. Clean and simple, and a treat to work with. Thanks a bunch for that one.

My card is made with a little help for a Sugarnellie image from last year, coloured with distress inks. Half pearls from Bunny Zoe's. Flowers from stash, McGill fernpunch for leafs. Can't remember from were this bright DP is but I do love the colours. ;) Sentiment is cut from a dovecraft stamp. Ribbon from Wild Orchid Crafts and I think that's cover it all. It was a nice sketch to work with and I think I'll be using this one again. Good when you need to finish a card fairly quick.

It's snowing again and the boys love it. But wonder why it is so much of it? To be honest so do I! Guess I have to go out and clean up in front of the mail box. Don't want a mad postman, then I would not get my supplies in one piece! :)

Have a good day!
Hugs,
Marie
