Friday sketchers week 95

Hello again!
Another card made and finished. Have had the image laying around for ages. Coloured and done. Think I've coloured this one with inkadinks, or maybe the normal refills from TH. Don't recall anymore. Seems to be one or two problems with blogger today, so I hope that I will be able to get my pictures in here before it's too late to take part in the challenge. Tomorrow it's Friday again. It goes so fast.

The sketch for this week at Friday Sketchers

The image I've used is from Bildmålarna.se, coloured with inks, flowers from prima, cardcandy from cardcrafts, and old papermania paper pad is used for DP. Some "dew drops" and ribbon from Bunny Zoe is also used. Sentiment written by my parters old Dymo laber. And I think that's all I've used for this card.

Wish you all the best for the Easter!

Hugs,

Marie

April's first card

Finally some energy again to make a few cards. This week is a good one as it's possible to combine a few challenges again. Kind of like that when I feel so tired all the time.

This card is for Passion for promarkers (Use two images on your card), Papertake weekly (open challenge), Just Magnolia (sketch) and for Crafty Creations (Anything Goes)

The sketch looks like this

My card looks like this and of some reason I went totally lilac today. Not my usual colour but it turned out OK. I'm more of a blue girl, but to keep crafting fun, change colour every now and then. :)

I've used two Magnolia images, Diary Tilda, and spring fence. The sentiment stamp is from Prickig form. Flowers are from Wild Orchids craft and Prima, leaf is made with a die from cuttlebug, small dew drops from Bunny Zoe, the big ones from a local flower shop (really cheep as well, we like that don't we?) Pins are from WOC as well. Some cream pearlmaker, and three different kind of stickles (lavender, golden rod and platinum) is used as well. DP from Papermania.

It's really sunny outside today but the wind is cold. My boys are at kindergarten and have a small easter celebration. Wasn't sure that the little one could go there today, bad cough but we gave it a try anyway. They call me if he needs to go home. He loves being there so and I kind of need the rest when they are away. Tons of pain in my joints and not much sleep because of that. Lucky for me I have my crafting so I can forget at least a little about it. :)

Feel a little sad today as well. Found out yesterday that they have foud the remains of three of the missing nine cats from the cat shelter that burned down on New year's day. Didn't thought all of them had made it, but it's sad anyway. Now there is only 6 missing but I think they are gone as well, but you never know, do you?

Have a good day!

Hugs,

Another one for passion for Promarkers and Papertake weekly

Hi there!
Tomorrow is my last day out of three weeks working out and learning good stuff about my body and illness. In this totally busy period I've managed to create something for PFP and PTW. Not my usually card, but a little spring basket. It was so much fun to make and the result is way over my own expectation so I think I have to try this one again.

I've used the sketch provided by PTW and the theme from PFP. The sketch is  this lovely one, and the theme is Springtheme with animal. Any colours do. I do hope that my little Tilda bunny counts as an animal. :)

My images are from Magnolia. Lots of tulips that are cut out and raised from the panel to give some dept. The text is rubb ons from Letraset. Cherry blossoms from Wild Orchid craft and so is the ribbon. DP are once again from my supermarket pack, the spring part of it. Really wonderful colours but my photo is pretty bad and it doesn't show the colours properly. A little heart charm from Pagoni.se is added to the little card.

The little gift card/tag.

One side of the basked filled with easter eggs, almond and chocolate, mmmm

The other side of the basked, with the same candy. :)

And one "small" side, the other one looks the same. :)

I found the model for the basket in the magazine "scrapbooks etc". Loved to stitch it all together. Totally fun the whole project. I'm so glad that I managed to use Dawny's sketch in it as well. Well off for some crimestories. Have been up since really early this morning. My youngerst turned two, and was up way too early for me. But he has had a really great day!

A good evening to you all.

Hugs,

Marie

Friday sketchers week 94

Hi and hello! A grey and dull day but all the snow is finally melting away. Slowly, slowly. Wonderful! Have been waiting a long time for that now. I missed last weeks challenge at Friday Sketchers so I thought that I start this weekend with FS. Well, I actually made a card for last weeks challenge but blogger wouldn't put my stuff out there in the blogging world, so I save that to another day. :)

This week however I hope my card will be able to show. Hey! I am able to write so the picture shouldn't be any problem right? This is way more than I manage to write last week. -lol-

The sketch looks like this and is made by Claudia.

Here comes my card

For this card I've used Magnolia's Tingla as the card is for a Christening. Flowers from Prima, Wild Orchid craf and Stämpelgården. The little hearts are from Pagoni.se. DP are Pink Parafit from Forever Friends range. Pearls from Bunny Zoe.

Now we're going out the whole family to get some air and get away from home for a little while. Wish you all a very good day!

Hugs,

Marie

Just Magnolia

This week at Just Magnolia there is a sketch for us all to follow. For my card I've used one of the new stamps from "Hoppy Easter 2010". I believe it's called "open gate" or something like that. Anyway, I like it alot and I even think there is an Magnlia tree there. I used to work at a place that had a couple of those outside the building and I decided they look like that. - smile -

I also decided to use this image on it's own and coloured it with my promarkers. I used almost only the warm greys. To top it of and get the Magnolia look I used almond and putty on the flower. They are really pale and got even paler with my blender pen. :)

The sketch

So let see how the card looks then. DP is from Basic Grey, Wisteria Lane. Pearls are as most of the time from Bunny Zoe.

It's getting a little late again and I've got an early morning tomorrow. New week, new challenges at the hospital. Looking forward to the work outs, and not! I want surgery for my right knee but the doctors don't agree. Have to try to make it stronger first and if that doesn't work then hopefully surgery. Long process I guess to get there.

A good night to you all!

Hugs,

Marie
