Christmas Card Parade 2012

Just stopping by for a quickie  :)

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas together with your loved ones!

Mine was just great! Love to have some time off from work and to be around family and friends! 

As for the most of us it's a busy time before Christmas so therefor I haven't posted so many cards here on my blog.

But I will make it up to you now and show you some of the Christmas card  I made this year!

So hold on, here we go:   :)

And with this I wish you a happy end of 2012
and a HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Lots of Love!

Anything Goes Challenge and DT call

I'm here again!

Lately I've been going through a tough time. Were unfortunately crafting and blogging havn't been prio one.

But now I'm back and so excited to be making cards and to blog again :)

I want to start with a DT call at Anything Goes. Sadly some of our members have decied to step down from their post, and I wish them the best and will be seeing you in blogland.

So therefor we need to increase our crew with new members.If you are interested take a look here.
And we have a new challenge at Anything Goes, with the theme, Traditional Christmas colours!

I have made a Christmas card with a cute stamp from Whimsy stamps. I coloured her with my new investment, Copics. Love them but I'm still in the beginner zone, so bear with me...lol.

Anything Goes at Anything Goes #79

A new Tuesday has arrived, with a new challenge at Anything Goes!
This time it's probably one of your favorite themes; Anything Goes!
I have made a Criss Cross card, which I haven't made for a long time. But I really like them.

I used "Tilda with crosstich heart" from "Sweet Christmas Dreams collection".

 I have used Spellbinders die around Tilda and glittering snow-tex on the Spellies.

 The papers are from Bo Bunny and the scalloped circle is from Nellie Snellen.

Here I have used some more of my glittering snow-tex on the DooHickey Poinsettia.

Make sure to visit Craft Den for all the products you need.
And for inspiration take a look at the lovely ladies beautiful creations here!

Take care everyone and welcome back!

Anything Goes #78

I'm running behind with my Christmas cards...
My plan was to make (at least) two cards a week, but this is only my third card. So I guess I have some cathing up to do... ;)
But for this fortnight's challenge at Anything Goes I made a Christmas card. The theme this time is to "Make Your Own Embellies" and I decided to make Christmas presents and a cracker.
I made the shape of the card with Spellbinders Grand labels no. 23, that you to can get from Craft Den!
The tree is made by a border die from my stash.
The two Tilda's that are decorating the tree are from Magnolia. Cute, aren't they! As always I coloured them with distress ink.
I guess you know by now that I love glitter, so I added glitter to the tree, around the edges and the star at the top of the tree is made entirely by glitter :)

I hope you will play along with us this fortnight at Anything Goes Challenge.
And if you feel a bit lost of what to make, take a look at my teamies work and I assure you,
that you will be inspired!

I'm entering my card into these challenges:

Totally Gorjuss: Traditional Christmas Colours

Whimsy Stamps: # 52 All things Sparkly
Fashionista Challenge: #8 Anything goes

That's it for today, but I hope you will be back soon again!

Orchard Love

Hi everyone!

Hope you all had a lovely weekend!

I thought I would show you a card I made a couple of weeks ago but haven't posted it yet on my blog.

Sweet and lovely Saturated Canary image called "Orchard Love"! Don't you just love Krista's wonderful creations. I am completely blown away by these gorgeous boys and girls!

I have used dies and punches from, Magnolia, Memory box and Martha Stewart, and the papers are from Papirdesign.

I coloured this sweetie with distress ink and stamped the edges with a stamp from "Vilda Stamps",
 splash background. I also added glitter on the apples.

Here you can see Magnolia's DooHickey die, "Wrapped Lovely"
in close up with some glittered roses.

I painted the corrugated paper with white acrylic paint.
The metal key is a win from Susy's candy :)

And of course some lovely flowers!

Hope you liked it and I would like to enter my card into:

Crafts and Me: #105 Anything Goes
Creative Inspiration: #184 Anything Goes
Deep Ocean Challenge: #36 Anything Goes

So happy you stopped by today!

Magnolia Open Weekend

WOW what a great weekend I have had!

This Saturday me and my sweet friend Louise took a trip to Borås were Magnolia had their Open weekend with work shop. 

We started early (4.00 am) to make sure we would get ourselves a goodie bag :) And we did! We were no.23 and 24 in line.

I met so many wonderful people (and celebrities) this day! Already in the queue we got to meet and hug sweet Hanna from the Magnolia DT. A dear blogfriend, Susy and her son and chatted with a couple of other great girls in line while we froze our toes off :)

Once we were inside we met and talked to Monique, I've got to say Hi to Alberto, Camilla H and Lillemor all from the DT!

But the highlight of the day was to meet Debbie Dolphin and to sit down and work with her in her workshop :) She was an amazing teacher and a true inspiration!

Here we are, me and Debbie!

After the course it was shopping time! I went a bit crazy, but it's hard to resist when you have all this goodies right under your nose.

Before we went back home I also got to talk and hug Christine Dark. That was a perfect end to this day!

Now you know what I mean when I said I had a super day!

Here is my tag I made in Debbie's WS. Looks great, doesn't it! I had a great model to follow ;)

Thank you for spending a minute on my blog!

Anything Goes #77

Hi, hello!

Hope you are all doing fine this lovely Tuesday! 

A new challenge at Anything Goes is here! And now we want to see what you can come up with using ANIMALS! 

This time I have used image and sentiments from Kanban that you can find at Craft Den among other great products!

I have always found it a bit difficult to colour animals, don't know why, but I hope you can see that it's a brownish dog, lol!

Both the circle and the scalloped circle are from Spellbinders and on the scalloped one I glued some half beads. I also decorated my card with a paperclip that looks like a dog bone, MS butterfly, metal corners and flowers. Some of the DP's are from Basic Grey.

Join us in the fun with all of your animals creation in this fortnight's challenge
at Anything Goes.
And make sure to visit my wonderful teamies and admire their beautiful card!
Thank you for visiting me today!
Welcome back!

Today we are celebrating a birthday in my family!

My oldest son turns 18!!! <3 br="br" nbsp="nbsp">I know I sound old when I say this, but gosh what time flies. It just feels like yesterday when he finally decided to take a peek of the world. So we are going to have a great day!

But the fun doesn't stop here. Today we also have a new challenge for you at Anything Goes!
And one of my lovely team mates, Val, have made a sketch for you to play with!

A new card with a Magnolia image...again..lol. I know, can't get enough of them.

I used the doohickey doily die as one of the circle. The DP's are from Maja Design and Magnolia, both stiched around the edges.

Then I used some flowers, ribbons, letters from Glitz and leaves from a Nellie Snellen punch.
