Ornament card

I got back from Dr’s office a while ago and I am not happy. I’ve developed an allergy that makes the areas around my eyes turn red, dry and swollen, AND itchy! I’m a wreck. I look like h**l and it feels BAD. I’ve been taking medication for over two weeks, but it doesn’t help. Today I got some new pills and I’ll be transferred to the experts at the hospital. But, as the Dr said, it will take a while… Yeah, right. Sorry, needed to vent!

Here is a card for the 365 cards challenge - I’m hung up – to make an ornament card.

As soon I saw the challenge at 365 cards, I knew what to do. We did these Christmas decoration hearts every year when I was a child.  The fun thing is that there is a tutorial at the StampArtic blog today. I guess great minds think alike. LOL! I was inspired by the bow at the card in the tutorial so I added that before I took the photo. I like how it came out.

I survived the party…

… my son had last night. But only barely. LOL! He’s been wanting to have a Halloween party since last year, and I finally gave in. Last night I had 11 nine year olds roaming my house. It still stands. And the children had a good time. And I actually enjoyed the preparations. This is my first ever pumpkin.

The party means I haven’t had time to participate in full in the crop, but I have made one page for a challenge (and I think I’ll be able to do a couple more today).

It’s a BOM page about me right now. I’ve used a great sketch by Pam Callaghan, one amazing scrap booker who recently launched a blog to share her templates and ideas. Go check her, and her team out!

Edit: I managed to fit in a couple of cards today too. The first is a star shaped Christmas card for the crop..

The papers are Bo Bunny and stamps are Prickley Pear Rubber stamps – Penguin Flourish.

I also loved the sketch at 365 cards today, so I HAD to have a go with it.Sorry for bad photo – no light – no good photos.

Take care!

The crop is launced

We are having a great time over at A Page in Time – celebrating the autumn with a fall inspired crop.

My first challenge is a sketch challenge with a twist and you can find it HERE.

Fall Fenzy Frolic Crop

A Page in Time is hosting a Fall Frenzy Crop this weekend. It starts at noon PST (which is like 9 pm CET) and there are loads of different fun challenges and games and really, really NEAT prizes from some of our favorite manufacturers. You are invited!!! We would love to see some new fresh faces on the board!!! The crop will take place HERE!

Here is a little sneak peak from my first challenge:

In waiting for the fun this weekend, I made a card in twoof my favorite colors - pink and brow. This meets up with the challenge of day 251 of 365 cards. I’ve used the lovely sketch from Friday sketchers, and the papers are Basic Grey Wisteria. The stamps are from Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps, Felicity and Border Flourish. Used some cotton candy and cinnamon stickles on this one, but it doesn’t photograph well.

Hope to see you over at A Page in Time Fall Crop!

Gone Fishing

Aren't they sweet, son and grandpa!? I've used a sketch by Becky Fleck at Page Maps, love this sketch!

I got a little crazy with acrylic paint, stamps from Prickley Pear and glossy accent. It was fun! LOL!

Back to work!

A FCD card

Hi! I’m popping in to share a card I did this weekend. I have had serious issues photographing it. I started to think it was an evil spirit involved. But hubby stated that conspiracy theories seldom leads to real problem solving. He might have a point.  LOL! Well here she is, my FCD lady. Finally. I’ve used a beautiful Graphic 45 patterned paper and the lovely Woman in Character stamp is from Firecracker Design.

I’ll continue my reading about constitutional change and the issue of Swedish Monarchy vs repblic in the early 1970’s. Hot stuff! Sometimes when I try to explain for my dear son what I do at work all day, it’s really hard to make him understand I have the most interesting work ever… LOL.

November

That means we are way too soon celebrating Christmas. Feels strange, this year only just began. The weather is still really good, and we took another long walk today, son and I. I love the walks with him. We talk about silly stuff and we talk about serious things about life, we laugh and have fun. And we have this time together that is only for us. He has one rule though. No camera. : (

Two cards today. The first one is using the new sketch over at Sketch Saturday. It’s a GREAT sketch!!! I’ll be using it again for sure! Stamps are from Artistic Outpost – BlueBird Collection. The papers are Kraft from Bazzill and Basic Grey Wisteria.

Second one (also a Thank you card…) is for 365 cards Super Sketchy Sunday. Stamp from Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps and papers from Dream Street Papers.

Time to make some dinner, have a lovely Sunday all!
