Colour it over at The Paper Shelter

Morning and hello!
I am back again! It's Mid week and time for a new challenge over at the Paper Shelter. This week our theme is set to "Colour it!". It means that it's only hand coloured images allowed this week. 

I have used one of my favorite images from the Shelter called "Viking Vacation". For some reason do I always colour my blond vikings with red hair! I know, but the wildest vikings are always red headed. LoL I find this image but fun and charming. 


I have coloured with my Letraset Markers and the paper pad is called Tropical something if I remember right. Have put it way for the time being. For some texture and details have I added a few ribbons. At the bottom a goldish glittering web ribbon and then a really thin one tied with a bow. The melons and pine apples are fussy cut from a sheet from the paper pad.


You can play along with our challenge up to three times, and one of these do you have to use a Paper Shelter image. However, you always have the chance to win over at our challenge. Playing with another brand gives you the chance to win three digis of your choise. Playing with our challenge gives you the chance of winning a gift voucher worth $30.

Take care and keep crafting!

Love n hugs

Just for fun nr 12

Morning and hello!
Here comes a new creation for you all to enjoy, just because it's nice and relaxing to check out what every one is up to.

This card is a mixture of a alternew stamping set, or maybe two of their stampsets... I have a tendency to make a lot of stuff at once, put it aside, mix it up and create with it later. Way later...


Anyway, the images are stamped with layers of alternew inks and then die cut for a lovely mix of colours and relaxing work. I put it on dark blue card stock and then put it all on a card base. I will have to work with my tecnics when it comes to this kind of cards but it's fun to just sit and stamp and die cut all night long. I have been working a lot with foam pads on this card so it has quite a bit of chunk to it IRL. I did also use some splaters with white and gold coloured inks.

Anyway, hope you enjoyed watching this one. Take some time and do something that you enjoy, or try out something new.

Blue and yellow over at Passion for Promarkers

Morning and hello!
Time for a new challenge over at PFP and this weeks theme is set to "Blue and Yellow". Two colours that goes well together and to comes with celebration vibes as the swedish flag is blue and yellow.

This week are we sponsored by Star Jam Line and they offer one lucky winner two digis of their choise. 

For my card have I used the sponsor image called Little Mermaid. She is of corse coloured with my promarkers. I have also used glossy accent and added golden glitter to it before it dried for some shimmery water effect. The flowers are from an old pack from Kaiser Kraft. There is also a Marianne die that have been embossed with glittery and chunky embossing powder. The Congrat-sentiment is from Hanglar and Wings. Designer papers are from Echo Park and Lawn Fawn.


Sorry this is so short. On top of everything else have I gotten a lovely cold as well. Anyway, I hope you come and play with us and take the chance to win a few lovely images from our sponsor.

X-mas decorations over at Winter Wonderland

Morning and hello!
It's the first Friday of the month again and it is time for a new monthly challenge over at Winter Wonderland. This months theme is set to "Christmas decorations". Here you can have an image that is fit as a decoration or you make a decoration yourself. Nice and fun theme to play around with.

We are sponsored by the lovely Beccy's Place and she is offering a prize of


The image I have used is a freebee and it's called Holly Baulb. I have coloured with my promarkers and decorated with some pearls on the image. There is also some splashes of golden ink on my card, and no not a misstake. LoL. It looks great IRL but here it might look like a misstake was made, but no. I have also used a border die from Lawn Fawn for this one and a wonderful blue ribbon with golden details as some decorations. A few pearls are also added to the corners...

My designer papers are digital and are from Cocoa Vanilla Studio. Love the wonderful colours in all of their collections. Wish the real stuff was easier to find around here as they tend to smear when not printed on photo paper or with a laser printer which I don't have at the moment. 


This is kind of a sad post as well as I am now stepping down from the Winter Wonderland team after many years on the design team. I am struggling a bit with myself at the moment and need to make some time for "impulse" stuff instead of having a bunch of "must do" stuff. I for sure will play along with Helen and the rest of the gang from time to time and may be one day I will return to the team, who knows? It's wonderful challenge and I still love making my Christmas Cards more than any other kind of cards. A big thank you to Helen and the rest of the team!
