Hanna & Friends #125

Good morning!
So now have Hanna & Friends also reached the final challenge of this year. But of course we will be back next year, 2012 ;)
The theme of this challenge is New Year.
I have used this little sweetie from Nellie Snellen, Smookie! And I could not exclude glitter and stars on a New Year card!

I just love this sentiment! A perfect thought when you enter a new year.

Pop over to Hanna & Friends and join us in this last challenge of the year and see the beautiful work the amazing DT girls have done. Thank you girls for a great teamwork :)

I wish you all a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

And I hope you come back and visit me again next year :)

xoxo Annette

Anything Goes Challenge #57

The year of 2011 is coming to its end but we have a new fresh one to look forward to.
And the last challenge for this year at Anything Goes. I'm fortunate to be part of this wounderful team for the last six month and I can't wait to see what the next year will bring.

This time we want to see something with the colour BLUE and one other colour.
I made my card with few details this time. I wanted it to be pretty "clean".

Here's what I've used on my card:

Penny Black image

Magnolia paper

Marianne Design Village/church and icicles

QK star

Blue ribbon

Stickles "Star Dust"

Puffy snow

You can find most products at Lynne's shop Craft Den.

So enjoy the rest of the year and don't forget to join us at Anything Goes.

Lots of HUGS!

A little later Christmas greeting

I would like to wish you all a continued Merry Christmas (a copule off Christmas days still remains ;))

My family and I, and some of our friends, have been away on a mini ski vacation and we've had a lovely time.

And just back in time to celebrate Christmas Eve at home with our parents.

Here are some of my "quick and easy" Christmas cards that I made.

Enjoy Christmas and your loved ones!

Christmas hugs!

Anything Goes Challenge #56

Good morning! Hope you are all doing well!

Get ready for another challenge at Anything Goes, Anything but a card!

I have made a BIG tag with Magnolias Tilda in centre. She's perfect for todays celebration (in Sweden), Lucia.

I have coloured Tilda with Polychromos Pencils, as you can find at Craft Den.

The chipboards are covered with crakle paint "picket fence". The "wish" ticket are from Tim Holtz.

I have used another tag, a smaller one ;) where you can write your own greeting.

The papers are from My Mind's Eye. And I also used some old wellpapp and coloured it with white paint.

Some of the material that I've used can be found in Lynne's store Craft Den among a bunch of other goodies.

So let us see what you can come up with at Challenge #56.

You also have to pay my DT friends a visit. They make some stunning creations!

Have a happy Lucia day and don't eat too many saffron buns and gingerbread ;)

I would like to enter this to the following challenges:

7 kids challenge #36 Christmas decoration

ABC Christmas Challenge #Y for Yippee

Magnolia Down Under #126 Lost and found

Stampin for the weekend #22 Christmas

Reviewing Christmas Faith

Okey, I'm back for my second post to day ;)
We're having a reviewing at the TPS blog and showing you the Lil Pinkette Christmas girls.
I'm showing you Christmas Faith! I think I've told you before but I just love Christmas :D and a Christmas without carols isn't a Christmas at all. So Faith is just perfect ;)
I don't know if you can see the G clef, but I think it's so cute and really fits this card. And of course there has to be some note papers too ;)
Even this card was coloured with Promakers.

Sorry to keep this post short :( I've got tons to do as I'm sure that you also have...

So until next time, take care! And I don't mind that you leave a comment ;)

Hugs Annette

Hanna & Friends #123

OMG, it's already a week since the last challenge at Hanna & Friends. Time flies ;)

That means we have reached a new week and a new challenge at H&F, yay!

And this is a pretty easy one, don't you think: Wintercard!

Even though we don't have so much winter here in southern Sweden at the moment, I had to put my mind into a white, cold and frosty feeling. I hope I managed and that you can get some inspiration anyway ;)

My image this time is from Lily of the Valley, and this time I went for an Easel card. I coloured it with Promakers and used some "pom poms" as snowflakes. Maybe a bit big but as they fall down the become snowballs. Well, you have to use your imagination, lol!

The embossed snowflakes in the background are from Tim Holtz.

I made the tag as an open book so you can write your greeting on the inside.

I hope you got some inspiration so you would like to join us this week at Hanna and Friends!

If not, take a look at the other girls' creation and I'm sure you can't resist take part of the fun!

Thanks a lot for stopping by and take it easy in the Christmas rush!

Hanna & Friends #122 Sketch

Today we have a lovely sketch from Vanni for you to play with at Hanna and Friends.

I found this sketch real "christmasish" (don't even know if that's a word, lol) And I guess it's because of the stars.

Once again I have made a Christmas card and I realised that it's red again...

Well, what can I say... I just love red christmas cards :)

The image is a Elizabeth Bell's design, called Lizzy. I have coloured her with Polychromos pencils.

The papers are from Pysselgumman and the stars are punched out from a Spellbinder dies. And the frames are Nellie Snellen.

As you can see in the last photo I have made a different fold this time.

Take a look at the beautiful cards that the Design girls have made. They are just stunning! So I hope you will participate in this weeks challenge!

Take care!
