For a child over at Passion for Markers

 Morning and hello!

I am here again, after two weeks absence. I struggle a bit with my fingers and hands and it makes me slow and I do very little during the days. No energy for nothing. Except for listening to audio books and combing and brushing my feline friends. 

Ok card creation once again. It is a new challenge over at Passion for Markers today. We have the theme of "For a child" and we have a sponsor for this challenge do we have a sponsor, just as always. 

Our sponsor is All Dressed UP and they offer one lucky winner two digis of winner's choice. Thank you for that!

For my card have I used a sponsor image called Puddle ducks. You find it here. I have coloured with a mix of copics and promarkers. I struggled a bit but I did managed to make a card at least. Some days you have to be happy to manage to get some kind of result. 

The image is paired up with designer papers from Echo Park. They are a mix from different spring papers from my stash. Maybe I can get one or two more cards out of the leftovers. I picked these designer papers because I wanted a lot of colours that is happy and cheerful. 

I took out some buttons and some pears shaped as stars. A die cut from my stash wish "Congratulations" in Swedish. I have layered three pieces so there is a bit of contrast and texture to the card. My teamies over at Passion for Markers have done some smashing creations, pop on over to have a good look and inspiration from them, and then come and join us.

Take care and do something that make you happy!

Love n hugs

Christmas over at Passion for Markers

Morning and hello!

Hi there! Time for a new challenge over at Passion for Markers. This week's theme? "Christmas"

You know it is soon time for the big celebration during the winter. Only a few months left before it is time. Have you started with your winter / Christmas cards yet? I have even before this one, but I have many more to make. It's a good to get going to take part in different christmas challenges. 

Our sponsor this week is 

Dies to Die for

They offer one lucky winner a gift voucher worth £15.

Thank you for that!

For my card this week have I used an image from hÄnglar and Wings. The image is from one of the lovely advent calendars. You can still order the new one for the coming Christmas. The pre order us open to 15th of September, so a few days left. 

I have paired my cute little guy together with Maja Design papers. Don't remember what pad it is but it was a good fit to the image. I have also used a few of my precious metal snowflakes. I just love them and wish I had 1000 more of them. I have also used a golden coloured deer charm and put it in the woods made with black and white trees made with a die from Magnolia, Sweden. I love those three dies and I never get bored of them. Some cheese cloth, ribbon and nuvo drops in a lovely red shads is also used to make the card. The sentiment is also from hÄnglar and Wings. 

Hope you come and join us over at Passion for Markers for this week's challenge. We look forward to come and visit you!

Take care and do something that makes you happy!

Hip to be square over at PFM

Morning and hello!

It's time for a new challenge over at PFM. Our theme this week is "hip to be square". A nice and easy theme for you all to follow.

Our sponsor this week is Rachellle Anne Miller and she offers one lucky winner a gift voucher to use in her store. It's worth $10. 

Thank you so much for that!

And my card then. I have used two of the images from the Candy store digi stamp set. I have used the boy and the girl. And I have coloured with my promarkers this time. I have dug around in my stash and dug up an old paper pad from the beginning of my paper crafting era. The light pastel colours make me think of candy. 

I have also used four squares to follow the theme. One base square and four smaller ones. I added a bow with a dotted ribbon and then added some lovely pearls to finish it all off. It was a long time since I really enjoyed making a card. My finger joints isn't playing along with me and neither is my neck and head. I didn't have to recolour the image 100 times and that was great. 

Anyway, I hope that you will come and join our fun challenge. We look forward to see your wonderful creations!

Take good care and do something that makes you happy!

Add a sentiment over at Passion for Markers

Morning and hello!

Hope everything is fine with you and that you had a good start of the week. It have a been a long time since I posted here. My joints have not been at their best lately. Lots of pain and shaking that have been driving me nuts. I could finally create a card again and I am so glad that I managed to colour again.

The theme of the week over at Passion for Markers is "Add a sentiment" and it is set by none other than me!

Our sponsor this week is Color of Love. They are offering one lucky winner 3 digis of winner's choice. Thank you!

My card then... I have used a sponsor image called Rory, time to paint the world. I have cropped the image and used a part of the image. I have paired the image with designer paper from Carta Bella or Echo Park. I love the colours that this paper pad have. They are so much summer to me. The corals reminding me of watermelon that I love. 

I have kept the card pretty simple and have just used a few enamel dots as details together with the sentiment die from my stash. 

I look forward to see all your creations during this week and I hope that you will come and play with us over at Passion for Markers.

Take care and do something that makes you happy!

Love n hugs

Morning and hello!

Hi again! Yes I know, third Monday in a row. Here is yet another one of my small stitched cards that I have made during dull days. Once again have I gone for the blue and silver colour shades. It is such wonderful combo that makes me happy to work with. 

This time have I used a blue card base for my darker bulb with blue and silver. Some more of my old silver stickers with small snowflakes. Lovely glittery card for the big Christmas season!
