Jigsaw puzzles...

...are fun and me and dear son spend some really nice hours with one the other night. I remembered I actually have a puzzle die somewhere in my stash that I've used like once before. That's not the way to have it! I used it for making a congratulations card for a friend. The stamps are from my fab october DT sheet of rubber from Firecracker Design stamps. Doesnät she have the coolest look!!!

Recipe: Paper; Bazzill, water color paper. Stamp; Firecracker Designs. Ink; Versa Fine, Distress Ink. QK dies, Bazzill brads, MM stickers, liquid pearls.

Back to work! Have a lovely Wednesday!

A Page in Time...

...October Kit was filled with declicious papers from Fancy Pants, Little Yellow Bicyle and Dream Street Papers. I've played with the Rough and Tough papers and rub ons from Fancy Pants .

This is another page from when we were celebrating my parent's 40'th wedding anniversary. We did have a wonderful time, but the kids were not totally cooperative. You might remember THIS page... Well, this is to be seen as the sequel... A happy ending.
I love happy endings!

Edit: Today's challenge at 365 cards was to use cross-stitching. Anybody who knows me a little knows I LOVE stitching in any shape. Sooo, I had to make a quick one. But taking photos at night nowadays when the darkness comes creeping earlier and earlier is difficult. Hence the awful colors, despite the use of FAB Indian Summer papers.

Recipe: Papers; Bazzill, Basic Grey, DCWV. Stamp; Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps. Ink; Versa Fine, Distress Ink. Stickles.

Vi har en VINNARE!!!

16 fantastiska bidrag kom in till min Bloggparty utmaning. Och jag är väääääldigt glad idag att jag valde att lotta vinsten för hur jag skulle kunna välja vete fåglarna.

Eftersom jag fick in flera kommentarer utan bidrag, samt ett par bidrag via mail har jag gjort som så att jag tilldelat de två mailbidragen 1 (Emily) och 2 (Maritha) och sedan fortsatt i den ordning som bidragen kommit in till 16. Sen körde jag det i Random.org:

Och det innebär att…

Wohoo!

I just found out that I won a drawing at the Artistic Outpost. *dancing a happy dance* I’ll be getting some lovely RUBBER!!! YAY!!!

And today, after work, I’ll be announcing the winner of Bloggparty!!! That is sooo exciting! I have 16 fantastic projects, and I’m sooo happy I decided to have a drawing. I do not know how I’d be able to pick a winner myself!

In the meantime, while waiting for the winner, here is a 8x8 page I did earlier this weekend.

This is dear son at an amusement park this summer. Thought the stamps from Prickley Pear were perfect for the occasion. Papers are FAB Fancy Pants Summer Soiree. These are some of my last scraps of that wonderful line. Oh well.

Have a lovely day and see you tonight!

Work, work, work

I had a lovely card making day yesterday. I did have to clean the house, go to IKEA, cook dinner, be a mum... but besides that I spend most of the day by my scrap desk. Today is totally another story. Today I'm working. And working. And working. (And cooking, and grocery shopping, and cleaning the guinea pigs place). I want to make cards! LOL! I had some serious addiction problems now after lunch, so I sneaked in a quick card. One might take a break, right!

This one is for the JP Hobby's (Swedish LSS), October Festival. To use ONLY black and white. I had a friend, Shelley, making a black and white card (well, actually two) a while agot, that turned out gorgeous so this challenge was perfect for me, really wanted to try that out!

Recipe: Papers; Bazzill. Stamps; Prickley Pear. Ink; Versa Fine. Mesh, lace, EK Success Punches, Kaiser pearls.

I'd better go back to my text. If I'm good, I might fit in another card or layout tonight. Have a lovely Sunday!

Happy World Card Making Day!!!

Today is the day! And I’ve spend a few early morning hours with card making. I’ll make special cards for special people today. Just because. Except the first one, which is actually a birthday card and hence not at all just because… LOL.

Recipe: Papers; Bazill, Sassafras Lass, MME. Vintage image; Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps. Stamp; Inkido. Ink; Versa Fine, Distress Ink. Prima flower, tag, lace, EK Success punch. Nesties.

It’s for MIL who turns 77. The vintage image is from Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps, and it comes in a sheet with various images with various sizes. I used it’s colors to inspire the rest of the card and I think it turned out pretty nice. I’ve used the fantastic sketch of the week over at Mojo Monday.

My second card is for a special friend I tend to meet way to seldom. But I’m thinking about her often. Thought I’d let her know. Recipe; Papers; Bazzill, Graphic 45. Stamps; Artistic Outpost. Ink; Versa Fine, Distress Ink. Flowers; Prima, Reprint. Brads, EK success punch. Dew drops.

I’ve also made this for Artistic Outpost’s two years of business birthday celebration challenge. There is a great sketch and it’s also supposed to be either a fall or a birthday card.

This afternoon, I managed to make a third card. I’m on a go!!!

And there is still qute a few hours left on this card making day! Yay!

Pop Up Card

The challenge at 365 cards is a ad challenge. I love ad challenges. A lot. (Check out my Bloggparty Challenge if you want proof and a chance to win! English instructions can be found at the end of the post).

I decided to make a Pop Up card in a new way. I found the tutorial at Rubber Road Adventure and I love the folding. I’ll make more for sure!

Recipe: Paper; Coredination. Stamps; The Rubber Café. Ink; Versa Fine, Distress Ink. Copics. EK Success punch, stickles, ribbon.

Edit: My inspiration from the ad was: The dots, the brown and orange color, the divided design, the leaves.

All the stamps are from The Rubber Café, the Trick or Treat clear stamp set.

Don’t forget the Moxie Fab World Blog Tour that have it’s final Hop today, but you will have until Sunday to participate to win fab prizes! And tomorrow it’s the big day! World Card Making Day!

Have a lovely Friday!
