May challenge @ Hobbyworld

It's May!! How ever did that happen, I wonder...? Don't get me wrong, I love May, I love this time of year, but time really rushes by! New month means new challenge @ Hobbyworld, and this month we're doing a scrap lift of one of my own layouts. The original page looks like this:

...and my lift turned out this way:

Why not join us? Three creations will be chosen for a prize... ;)

Take care!

Kurs med Frank Garcia från Prima Marketing!

Onsdag den 14 maj kl. 18:30 kommer jag sitta som ett ljus i skolbänken. Eller, skolbänken är väl att ta i, men jag ska gå en kurs. Inte vilken kurs som helst, utan en sån där "once in a lifetime"-kurs med Frank Garcia som flyger in från USA för att hålla kurs med Prima Marketings produkter. Vi ska få göra en mixed media-LO och det blir ett tillfälle att få vara kreativ, träffa likasinnade och bara insupa massor med inspiration! Åh, vad jag längtar! :D

Måndag den 19 maj kl 18:30 är det ännu en kurs med samme Frank Garcia från Prima, men denna gång är det ett minialbum som ska läras ut. Jag är tyvärr inte anmäld till den kursen, men är helt säker på att den kommer att vara lika rolig och inspirerande som den första kursen. Hade jag haft möjlighet hade jag DEFINITIVT gått på den också. Vet att några av mina vänner i scrapvärlden kommer att gå på båda... ;)

Vi kommer att hålla till på Cervins väg 15 i Spånga, men det är Pyssloteket som står som värd för evenemanget. Du kan också köpa din kursplats via Pysslotekets webbshop, och det finns platser kvar!! Pris per kurs är 695 kr men då ingår också material från Prima Marketing till ett värde av nästan 900 kr!

Nu blev jag så pysselsugen av att skriva detta blogginlägget att jag är tvungen att pyssla lite! *hehe*

Trevlig helg!

A Card with a Hug

A hug is always welcome, and a card with a hug is something you can send to someone wherever they are! This card is made for Hobbyworld, showing lovely flowers and patterned paper from Prima Marketing, a super cute stamp and mini roses from Marianne Design, and of course lovely dies from Spellbinders:

I also share an idea on how to use your paints - on this card I've used my Martha Stewart Craft paints to make some colour splashes. Please visit the Hobbyworld blog for short tutorial and list of supplies! :)

A Card for a Friend

Ok, you know that I like colour challenges - that's not news at all. This card is made for a challenge from a friend - the combo was pink, black, and white. Not very difficult, but even so not a combo I use a lot, so it was fun to create with those colours. 

I made a card for a friend - always good to have in store - and I used lovely, lovely flowers from Petaloo, and gorgeous patterned paper from My Minds Eye. I love the combination of the distressed stars and the romantic flowers. The chalk theme is something I've fallen in love with, and there are so many things I want to create - time is not enough right now! :)

I hope that I could inspire you a little bit today - for the full list of supplies, please visit Pyssloteket's blog.

A Girly gift

A gift for someone who celebrates confirmation (or a gift for any occasion) is fun to cosumize for the person who is about to recieve it. Today's creation is a gift bag for a girly girl; a gift bag with a girly gift. 

I have used pastel colours considering the time of year, and pink because I wanted to make the gift bag a bit more girly.

Take care!

Confirmation card

Confirmation time is closing in here in Sweden and today's creation is a Confirmation card. I wanted to keep it fairly white, but still with a touch of colour, so I painted the lavender roses with white and painted a few punched out butterflies with Martha Stewart craft paint. I really love that about having paints at home - you can always paint your embellishments to suit your creation - you don't always  have the right colour embellishments at home, right?

More inspiration and list of suppies for this project can be found in the Hobbyworld blog.

Elsa - dear friend

This is Elsa, a very dear friend of mine - AND sister-in-law - she just happen to hook up with my brother... ;-) I guess she likes our family.

She's smart, beautiful, and so much fun to be with! You wouldn't believe half of the things we've been up to together... *teehee*

List of supplies can be found @ Pyssloteket.

Painted mugs

I had some old chipped mugs that I wanted to throw away, but I needed to replace them with new ones. These mugs I found at a local store - just 5 Skr a piece! I bought a bunch and used my easy to use Martha Stewart craft stencils and craft paint to make them more personal. This is how some of them turned out:

List of supplies can be found @ Hobbyworld - so please pop on over if you are curious! :)

Easter tag

I've made a tag that could go well with a flower or a gift to give away for Easter. Maybe to someone who doesn't eat sweets, but still deserves a little something?

List of supplies can be found in Hobbyworld's blog, so hop on over there if you want to know more!

Take care!

April Challenge @ Hobbyworld

I realise that there is a lot of Easter creations in my blog at the moment, but Easter is soon here and this year I really felt like doing Easter cards, eggs, etc. - and I haven't before. Today's post shows my inspiration for this month's challenge @ Hobbyworld - April's theme is EASTER - surprise! ;-)

This month we want you to create a project on the theme Easter - check out the other designer's fabulous creations if you want some more inspiration!

The challenge runs from April 1st through April 21st, and your project has to be made specifically for our challenge and can not be combined with another challenge.

Add your project with the blue inLinkz button at the end of the challenge blog post @ Hobbyworld. Make sure that you link directly to your entry, not to the entire blog - that way it's easier for us to find and admire your entries! 

We will choose three winners and they will be announced at the end of April. This month Marianne Design are giving away the yummy prizes!

Take care!
