GDT at Totally Tilda!

Woohoo! Great news!

I was one of the lucky to be the GDT at Totally Tilda :) :)  How wonderful isn't that!

Well, I feel really proud anyway!

So the challenge theme that I'm joining is Seaside! It couldn't be more suitable in the middle of the summer, lol!

I chose a Tilda from last years collection "Bon Voyage" as the background ship. The images are coloured with distress ink.
In this context I think the cheese cloth looks like a fishing net, so it had to decorate my card too. And as always there has to be flowers even at sea :) and an anchor charm.
It doesn't show so good in the picture but I used glossy accent on the wave to get that watery feeling.

So come and join in the challenge at Totally Tilda and take the opportunity to enjoy the DT's beautiful creations!

Thanks for visiting me today and it would make my day if you leave a comment before you go :D

Take care!

Anything Goes Challenge #70

Good morning!

Guess what! It's Tuesday again and Anything Goes is back with a new challenge!

Here's the theme: Polka Dots with a Birthday theme!

My image this time is a sweetie from Sylvia Zet, isn't she just adorable! I coloured her with distress ink and added some Star Dust glitter on the flowers and on the balloon. 

The big scalloped die are from Spellbinders Grand nestabilities, that I got from Lynne's shop Craft Den when I visited her. The same goes for the beautiful ribbon. 

Here's a close up.

Now it's up to you to make a gorgeous creation to add to this fortnight challenge at Anything Goes.

If you need some inspiration to get started, visit the blog and see the DT's stunning work!

So nice of you to visit me today, thanks a bunch!

Have a lovely week!

Graduation card

Last week my sweet niece graduated from school. She has struggled hard but she finally made it!

So of course I had to make a card for her. 

I made a easel card using a Saturated Canary image and put a student's cap on her head. The image is so much my niece, jeans, handbag and cellphone :)

The papers are from Maja design and the swirl in the corner are from Memorybox.

The lovely sentiment have I stolen from a blogfriend, Maritha. I hope she will forgive me for that ;)

I would like to join a GDT call with my card:
Saturated Canary

Keep having a wonderful week!
I know I will because tomorrow is my last day at work before a four weeks vacation.

Sound nice, doesn't it!

Thanks for stopping by today and welcome back!

Anything Goes #69

Good morning!

Tuesday again and it's time for a new challenge at Anything Goes! And the theme for this one is Travel or Around the world!

I chose a Tilda from an earlier collection and background that I really like. Think maybe it's the jungel adventure that draws :)

I have coloured with Distress ink and added some glitter on the waterfall. The humminbird is also from Magnolia.

So join us in the fun at Anything Goes and if you need material for a new project you have to visit Craft Den.

I have alreday seen the other DT's work and I promise you they are stunning, so take a look at our blog.

Have a wonderful day!

Anything Goes #68 Anniversaries

A new challenge from Anything Goes is here! This time it's all about Anniversaries.

And finally I can show you my card that I made after my inspiration trip to England.

In my luggage home I had Flitter Flakes, FlitterGlu, a bunch of IndigoBlu stamps among other things that I bought at Craft Den!

I put some FlitterGlu on "Poppy Heart" from IndigoBlu, stamped it (on paper, lol) and sprinkled Mega flakes over the glue and then brushed off excess flakes. And voilá, a shiny metallic motive! I hope you can see the effect in the pictures.

After the flakes I coloured the image with Promarkers and inked the edges and background with DI's.

I just love this technique!

My card is also decorated with a Prima flower, birdcage and a metal key (from Susy's candy).

Hope you will join us at Anything Goes challenge this time. And be inspired by the stunning creations from the team.

Hi all!

Time flies and a lot has happend since last post. 

First of all, I won Susy's candy!!! Lucky me and the goodie has already reached my mailbox :)

And the other part not so fun, I took the desicion to step down from the Hanna & Friends team :'( At the moment I work alot and so I felt I neglected the team. But it has been a wonderful time and I'm so greatful for the time with this talented team. So if you are interested I know they are having a DT call, so take a look at their blog, here.
But the toughest of all, was when we found a lump under our dog, Kiwa's paw. The vet recommended that we removed it. So this Tuesday I left her at the vet for surgery, but I got her back already on the afternoon all drowsy after the anesthesia. Everything went well but now we have to wait and see what the test says. And now we have a recovery time ahead. Try to keep a flatcoated retriever calm, not that easy ;)
A couple of weeks ago we had a "Confirmation" (I don't know if the word with the same meaning exist in english) in our family. Both our youngest son and my sister's daughter had the confirmation on the same day but in different churches. So unfortunately we couldn't go to her confirmation.
But I made this book card for her using Magnolias church. Most of the papers are from Maja Design.
I made the inside using MS punch for the lacebord, Magnolia leafswirl die, heart from Pysseltagen, scalloped oval from Spellbinder and mini flowers from McGill ( I think). On the backside I punched out a Nellie Snellen die and stamped my personal stamp on it.

This is it for my today but I hope you visit me soon again.

Take care!

Anything Goes #67

Hi, hope you all had a good start to the week!

Mine is good except for my aching muscles. I've had an intense weekend at the gym. Saturday I started with a double session, first aerobic and after that fitnessboxing. On Sunday it was time for a Zumba hour. It felt really good but my muscle said I overdid it...lol

And the best of all, to relax afterworth i did some crafting :)

I made a card for this fortnights challenge at Anything Goes with edwin from the new magnolia collection.

i used my new Grand Spellbinder dies, that i bought from Craft Den when I visit it. Love it!

The theme is "Black and ine other colour" and of course I picked my favorite colour, GREEN!

I decorated with flowers, bow, MS leaf punch, lace and a mini bottle. I made the MS butterfly in a 3D effect and added glitter.

I made the MS butterfly in a 3D effect and added glitter.

Hop over to our challenge and be amazed by the beauty of the DT's creations and let us see what you can come up with.

Thanks for visiting me today!

Hanna & Friends #143 Mothers Day

Already Thursday again and that means it's time for a new challenge at Hanna & Friends!

Mothers day is coming up so why not make a card to a woman who is worth some attention.

I recently bought myself some new digi stamps, from Saturated Canary and I just love them. I know I love a lot of stamps, lol, but these are just so adorable with their big eyes and innocent look.

I have coloured the image with distress ink. The die cuts are from nellie Snellen as the rose leaves. The papers are newly found :) and the brand is Paper Cellar.

Wish you a good week and happy crafting!

Welcome back!

Anything Goes #66 Things with wings

Hi bloggers!

Today we have a free day in Sweden! And it's always nice to have a day off :)

As some of you might know I took a trip to England last week to visit my team at Anything Goes and it was just wonderful to meet them. Unfortunately not everybody could make it, so I'm hoping for another get together :)
I just had to buy some new products when I visited Lynne's shop, Craft Den. I was absolutely in heaven!
Kay from IndigoBlu demonstrated her stamps and how to use Flitter flakes and I was sold, lol. (cards will be displayed later :))
Thanks again, Lynne!

Time for another challenge at Anything Goes! This time the theme is "Things with Wings".
I used a Magnolia stamp from the Fairy Tale collection, called Bubbling Tilda. I have actually never used her before but I think she so cute. Coloured her with distress ink.
The stamped flower on the bottom of the card is also a Magnolia stamp that I coloured with Promarkers. The wings and tag are from Magnolias Doo Hickey dies. I decorated my card with doilies, flowers, a bow, glitter and a MS butterfly punch.

Now it's your turn to show us what you can make of this fortnights theme.
Check out the blog and be amazed by the team's beautiful work!

I'm so glad you stoped by today, it makes my day!
