Wihiii!!!

I woke up this morning to THIS in my Google reader. I won the Trykkpressa challenge hosted by Ett Trykk this month and I’m so incredible happy. I’ll get a 1 year subscription of my all time favorite magazine which is not that easy to get hold of around here. Wohoo!

Here is 6x6 page I did with a small photo I found hidden and forgotten when I reorganized part of my scrap room. It’s such a nice light in the photo, and I wanted to use it. Papers are Basic Grey, Eskimo Kisses, and the stamps are Prickley Pear.

Happy Halloween to those who celebrate  and have a LOVELY weekend all!

Happy Friday!

We took an early day from work today to celebrate the last remnants of a beautiful autumn. November is soon here and that usually means all darkness, rain and dirt… Well, not today. We (son and me) are off for a walk in the sun, but I thought I’d blog a couple of cards first. The first one is for an old friend who I haven’t seen or heard from in ages. I thought a card might help me change that in a near future. The lady’s got style, so an elegant Chandelier might cheer her up, right!  Chandelier stamp is from Prima and sentiment from PTI.

Second card is another try with the Halloween theme, using some Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps transparency and stamps.I did this one for 365 cards Day 244 – transparency challenge. I’ve used an ATC transparency, a clear button and some dew drops.

I wish you a beautiful weekend!

Some Thank you cards - again

Well, the thank you cards are finally coming to an end. I only have a few more to complete. The challenges help me keep going. This first card is inspired by the Papertake Weekly Spots’n Stripes challenge.  This is another one of the cute hÄnglar sheet I got at the fair last weekend. Striped dress! LOL! This one is made for The Pink Elephant - Black, distressed and hardware challenge.  I’ve tried the technique with stamping in hot Utee, and the effect is really, really cool! The flourish stamp is from Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps, and I took tons of photos to make the effect show, but this is the best I could do. Sad, I know. Need to take some photo lessons! Like learning how to use the Macro or something.

Thanks for stopping by!

Penguins anyone?

My friend Suss is hosting a Christmas Card Challenge HERE. The task is to make the card not using the traditional green and red color scheme. That’s fun and it made me look for the beautiful blue papers from Maja Design. I never used them last year because I fell so much in love with the Wassail papers that I never came around putting them away. I’m not cured, but I do use other Holiday papers on occasion nowadays…The stamps are all from Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps.  Isn’t the penguins too cute! I coated them with some Glossy Accent. The swirl is a half of a fantastic stamp named Penguin Flourish and you can see it in full splendor (lol) HERE. The card is based on a beautiful and fun sketch from Get Sketchy. And I’m sorry about the bad photos. Simply can’t get the colors to show properly. The pink stones go totally nuts if I try to edit it in PS.

Have a lovely day!

The Christmas Season is here…

…or rather so - the new stamps for this year. YAY!!!  Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps sent me a batch of fantastic red rubber last week which I will happily play with the weeks to come. They are truly beautiful!

I started working with the Partridge in a Tree stamp.  It was love at first sight – so full of details and so fun coloring. Eh, ok, I went a little nuts when I came to the Partridge… Let’s say it’s a very, very special Partridge to go with the Basic Grey paper… Tehee.

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

I hope you will have a beautiful Tuesday!

Thank you card #8

I’m making thank you cards. Lot’s of them. And I’m starting to think, that I might not be able to do them all. I will have to buy some… Haven’t bought a card in ages, but I guess it’s time.

Here is the latest. Based on this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch. The sketch is great - as always!

I also included a pin with pearls to meet up with day 240 challenge at 365 cards. The papers are Basic Grey (of course… LOL) and the amazing stamps are Artistic Outpost – Bluebird collection.

Wish you a happy Monday!

Two more cards

I got the coolest stamp set (Women in Character) from FCD this month to play with as my DT mission. With some really cool sentiments. LOVE THEM! My favorite is the Meekness one (used in the card below), and I’ve been saving it for a special card that finally came together today. I have this really good revenge in mind, and I thought that my victim should get a fair warning. Muahhhawwahhhaaa….

I’ve used the fab sketch of the week at Sketch Saturday aaaand my new yummy Basic Grey papers. I’m in love. Again. LOL! And when I had them on my desk, I simply had to do another, with some of the other papers in the Nook and Pantry line.

I have quite a few Thank you cards to make. 7 is done, still got like 30 to make… This card is made for 365 cards Super Sketchy Sunday challenge. Great sketch as always, and this week, the DT is having a really great Blog Hop. You should check it out. HERE.

That’s all for me today! Thanks for stopping by!
