Ice Bear Alert

I got a magical sheet of ATC transparencies from Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps last week. I really, really love this ice bear.

I simply glued him down on white cardstock and added some stickles around the edges. Done. I’ve used the beautiful sketch of the week over at Sketchy Colors. I followed it pretty close and used cookie paper (? no idea what you call it in English… *blush*) to make the semi circles. Some flowers, stickles and pearls and it’s done.Do you want a chance to win this transparency  and much much more (like stamps and flowers and more transparencies) head over to the Prickley Pear blog and submit a card in the sketch challenge. Simply scroll down to find the challenge and the prize and everything you need.

Bye for now

Prickley Pear Sketch Challenge

The December Prickley Pear Sketch Challenge is launched. You find all the information HERE.  Here is my take on the sketch:

I’ts hard to make it justice on photo, but I must say I’m really pleased with how it turned out. LOL! The sentiment used is called Christmas Seasons and is a lovely one, and a perfect fit with the spellbinders oval die.

I hope to see you play along with the challenge. And you should know that the prize is big. It contains stamps, ATC transparencies,  flowers and more. Check it out:

More info about the prize can be found HERE.

Take care!

What an AMAZING morning!!!

I usually start my mornings with a cup of coffee or tea and reading the mail and blog posts via reader. And I got the most happy news today. I have won not one, but TWO challenges. And I will forever contain myself from saying “well, I never win….” cause this month has proved that wrong!

The first challenge is Ulrika’s Pink Christmas Card Challenge with this card. THANK YOU!!! *Doing the happy dance* She has a great prize, a Chandelier alphabet. I can’t WAIT!

The second is the Sketchy Color Challenge with this purple card.  And I won a super cute stamp in their first ever challenge. Wohoo! *Doing the happy dance again*.  A new sketch is up for this week and a new super cute stamp is up for grabs!

And if you want a chance to win a challenge, maybe you got a little inspiration (LOL)  and have the chance to win this AMAZING prize:

You should check out the Prickley Pear Blog later today. I will also shout out about it and give some inspiration. (Pssst…. It will be a sketch challenge!)

And finally, a card to share. I did this for Reprint’s Bingo Challenge. I’ve used Stickles, different card shape, Ribbon, Flowers and Brads.

The stamps are from Reprint and papers are Bo Bunny. The fold is called Diamond Fold and I found a really great tutorial on You Tube.

Sista korten till Hannas

Sjuk har jag varit och så mycket scrappat har det inte blivit sista dagarna, men ett par kort som jag gjorde när jag gästade Hannas Pysselstuga har inte bloggats än. Jag fick Bo Bunnypapper och magnoliastämpel och lite bling att arbeta med.

Jag har gjort en krans med bladpunchen och pimpat bladen med distress stickles. Röda blingstenar får vara bär. Kortet glittrar härligt, till och med knappen är glittrig. Och så ett kort till. Klonade visst magnoliorna… LOL! Får använda en annan palett nästa gång tror jag,

Jag älskar dessa Bo Bunnypapper. Och nu sitter jag och klappar ännu fler, fast i Snowy Serenade-serien. HELT OTROLIGA. Hur i hela friden ska jag kunna skära i det här???

Eller det här

Fast det är ett kärt problem som jag säkerligen löser här framöver…

Ha en riktigt härlig lördag!

A quick one

I made a really quick Christmas card yesterday night in response to the 365 cards challenge Just a fraction. The idea was to use only a piece of a stamped image on your card. I cropped my Hero Arts stamp pretty much and I like the result. I also pimped the image and the Red Wassail paper with red distress stickles.

It was impossible to get a decent photo of it in the dark yesterday. I HATE the darkness!

And when I’m at it here is the latest layout I did for a COF challenge – to use stitching and paint. I was planning to go wild and crazy with the paint, but I couldn’t. I guess I’m rather controlled right now…

And now you can stop reading, cause now I’ll start the wining section! Eeek!!! My eyes went bananas again the other day. They itch, are dry, swollen and look like hell and I’m supposed to “wait”. I got a letter last Friday which says I will get an appointment with the specialist in 2 to 3 months. Wohoo! When I contacted the Dr’s office today I was told to use more of the cortisone and eat more medication and hope it would get better in a day or two. If not, contact them again on Monday. So wait I will, and feel like my eyes are coming out of my skull looking like a 150 year old turtle with freaking VASELINE around it’s eyes. Yay for me.

Sorry!

Purple card

There is a new challenge blog in town. The Sketchy Colors, and it's first challenge is PURPLE. Well, I don’t know how you feel about this, but for me – INTIMIDATING! I’ve been roaming the LSSs for purple patterned paper this week and I think I bought them all… And ended up using none of them… LOL! Instead I trusted my Distress Ink, Dusty Concord and inked up some beautiful Little Yellow Bicycle paper. And I white embossed my new Prickley Pear stamp and inked that one too with Dusty Concord.Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps has started it’s 12 days of Christmas on the blog. If you want to have the chance of winning a beautiful poinsettia stamp and chipboard ornaments, leave a comment HERE!

I will return to work. Have a wonderful day!
