Flowers everywhere

Morning and hello! I am back once again this week. A little late but at least I am here. Today it's all about the Paper Shelter. Our theme of the week is Flowers everywhere. A nice and easy one. You just need to use a few flowers on your creation and then you're set.

Sorry about missing out on adding my card and info here last week. As so many days have passed do I save that card for another day.

As always is the Paper Shelter offering you a gift voucher worth $30 if you play with a Paper shelter product. Playing with another brand gives you three digis if you is the lucky winner.

Getting headaches again and that means I have to stay still and in the dark to get some rest. It feels a bit better than last week, so I am a bit behind again and it took me a little longer to recover from the trip to Malmö than I thought it would. But all worth it!

Bingo Board

Morning and hello! Time for a new dt-card from me. This time it's a new challenge over at Passion for Promarkers (now going under Winsor and Newton brand). I have been away all weekend for some sports fun. There have been a few tournaments going on around the world for the last national teams to qualify for the Olympic Games of Handball and we made it after biting all our fingernails off. It got a little more exciting that we thought from the beginning as the Slovenians beat one of the best teams in the world, Spain with three goals. For our final game we could lose with two goals and still make it to Rio and we did. The feeling of have being there and cheer them on is fantastic. I just love this game!

Ok, to the reason why I am here today. LoL The new challenge over at PFP this week is set by Lisa and we are playing BINGO. Nice, easy and fun. The board look like this

For my card have I used the diagonal row; gems or pearls, image, flowers. I also fullfill the bottom row: flowers, sentiment and die cuts. The image is from Sugar Nellie and I coloured it ages ago. As I am really tired after the trip the shakes came back. Sometimes it good to have a little stash to use but now I am running low. Time to get some time to colour again.

I am not sure from where the dp's are. I found them laying around without any front to the pad. Flowers are a mix from I am Roses and WOC. The leaf punch is from Martha Stewart. Pearls from Bunny Zoes. The sentiment die is from Moa Pyssel. Lace from WOC. The round dies are from Spellbinders and Marianne Design.

Sponsoring this challenge is Digi stamp Boutique, offering a gift voucher worth £10. How great isn't that?

Well time to relax a bit and then at it again. A new creation needs to get done and then enjoy the sunshine as soon will the rain come back again.

Baulbs

Morning and hello! Took a little longer than I thought to get back on the blog. Another cold hit quite badly and I missed out on my last post. Well, I am back again with my dt-card for Winter Wonderland and this week is the theme set to baulbs. Lucky for me I checked on last time about the theme as I was about to make a card for another challenge coming up. But Baulbs it is this week.

I was a bit lazy and didn't take on any colouring today. I used a few of my dies that is in shape of baulbs layered silver and white on to an old dp from Dovecraft. There is some papers that is still really nice and some that isn't that fun, but at least some of the old stash is used up. Some silver tread for hanging detail and then a icicle border that I covered in snow and glitter for an extra detail. Nice and simple.

Sponsoring us this week is

Crafty Sentiments

They are offering the lucky winner a choice of 
3 digi's from the online store.

Well, time for me to leave for this time. I will spend this week a bit easy as well and the warmer weather have made the allergy get going so now I am sneezing all the time and the eye is running. Maybe I should stay in and do some crafting? There is a weekend or two left before the outdoor soccer season gets going and I am kind of forced to stay out even if I don't want to. LoL

Weather

Morning and hello! A little late posting today. Splitting headache and really tired. The rest of the family have had colds, maybe mine is coming now? Or it's still the new meds playing games with me. Trying to get the best out of them, and most of all, the best sleep as I am sleeping really bad. Soon I will be a human again and not like a cat sleeping 20 hours per day in very short periods. LoL

My card is for our Passion for Promarker challenge this week and the theme is set to weather. So something weather related would be nice to see. And as usually it is Letraset markers that is going to be used for the colouring.

Then we have my card to look at. I have used an older Tilda from Magnolia. Had a period when I collected stamps with umbrellas and wellies on them. And well this is one of them. Don't think that I have used it before. Better late than never, right? She's coloured with my Triamarkers mostly.

The designer paper is from Authentic, some wedding collection all in black and white. The flowers and leafs on this one did I colour in the same red colours as I coloured Tilda. The foliage above Tilda is made with three different Magnolia dies. The green parts from the die club from last fall and the red flowers are from the new Vintage Circus kit. I love that flower. It looks smashing and matched the dp really well.

Our generous sponsor this week is LC Designs who are offering one lucky winner a prize of 4 digis of their choice.  There are so many gorgeous digis in their store you will be spoilt for choice.

Well, my friends this is all from me for today. I will go and rest my head for a while and then back to the craft room as we have a new challenge coming up tomorrow over at the Paper Shelter as well, and I am running behind there as well.

Love n hugs

For A child

Morning and hello! Today is the birthday of my youngest, he is turning 8 today and that's why I am late writing this post. At least I had the card ready and done in time. :) The theme over at the Winter Wonderland this week is "for a child". So a Christmas card for a child is what we make this week. Here in Sweden all kids from when they are very you walk in Lucia processions in schools, day care and some visit the elders in their home. The girl who lead the procession is the one showing here in the Magnolia Tildan.

I have used a lot of dies for this card. I got the vintage box edition 2 the other day and the it was kind of a circus theme. So for example is the card frame made with a die from that kit, as well as the tickets and the little note papers and the flowers. The swirly thing is from Magnolias Christmas die kit and the snow flake is from Whimsy stamps, an old favourite. I have use quite a lot of old Magnolia dp's on this card as well. Some day it might even show in the paper stacks that I use some of it. The border die is also from the vintage kit by the way. There is also quite alot of glitter glue around the frame in different versions, and a little dash of red pearls as well. This week have I coloured with distress ink markers by the way.
