Tim Holtz Christmas card

I've made this card with one of my Tim Holtz stamps - the lamp post is soooo gorgeous!

The alpha stickers say "Merry Christmas"

The flower is a Prima Trellis Rose, which I have squirted some Tattered Angels glimmer mist (Brick) on. I've realised that I really like those glimmer mists, so now I need more of them. Shame on me - I can make my own using Perfect Pearls and distress inks, but I'm lazy...

Since I'm on my way to a crop today (and the rest of the weekend) I've made sure there's an update for you tomorrow as well, so check in if your curious!

Have a great weekend!

A RAK card

I have made yet another RAK card for my stash. I plan to send some RAKs out soon, so it's good to have the cards ready. ;)


The Steel pen-piece is a square from a Graphic45-paper, what else? ;)

Have a wonderful Friday, y'all!

Another birthday card coming up!

This one is covered in a Prima swirl and flowers, just because I felt like it:


I do love using my mini roses and those cute Adornit alpha stickers. The patterned paper is a Graphic45 - I have to try and use some other brands now, I'm stuck on them at the moment. ;)

The weekend it closing in now - on Saturday I'm off to a crop in Ärla, close to Eskilstuna, with a bunch of fantastic girls! I'm really looking forward to that, and it gives me a chance to use my new wheeled tote for the first time! Do you think it will hold everything I want to bring...? ;)

Take care!

My Mother's Best Friend

...turned 60 just recently, and my mum asked if I could make her a card. She likes purple and black, so I made her this:


Mum told me she was very happy about the card, and that's all that matters! I was very glad to hear that, because purple is NOT my colour and I hardly ever use it. It was a fun card to make, though, so I'll try to challenge myself to use some more purple in the future! ;)

More updates coming up tomorrow, so stay close if you want to see what I have in store for you...

Tadaaa!

More Christmas cards

I don't know where my Grinch is?! The non-Christmassy me has vanished, disappeared! :0 Well, I'm not really looking forward to all the Christmas decorationg and stuff like that, but I do enjoy my card making for Christmas. ;) Here's more proof of that:


For this I used my new stamps by Deleelsia (can be found at Kortmakaren)- they are absolutely beautiful and I really look forward to using them again. I'm very happy with how this card turned out - the colours are yummy! I think I have to make more cards with these colours.

Tomorrow there will be a new update, so if you are curious I'll see you then! ;)

Take care!

Short and sweet today - take care! ;)

A card for a newbie

One of my best friends recently gave birth to a son, and I've made a card to send to the little newbie and the happy family. The little one is going to have the name Love, a fairly common Swedish name which is a Swedish form of the French name Louis. Yes, I cheated a bit - I didn't know that so I looked it up at svenskanamn.se. ;)

The text says "Welcome Love"

The proud mother might be snooping around here, but I'll let her have a peek anyway. ;)

The weekend is now over, and tomorrow I'm off to work again. This week will be a bit calmer (I think) since all students have the week off. Not us teachers - we have to work... *sigh* Well, well.

Check back tomorrow for new updates!

Smile!

I've created a LO with my mischievous daughter - she always smiles to grandpa's camera:


She's our little rascal - always up to something, or looking like it! ;)

I'll post some more of my latest doings tomorrow, so if you're curious - stay tuned!

Take care and have a lovely Saturday evening!

No blogging - lots of scrapping

We've had visitors this week (our dear friends Annika & Adam), and that meant many scrappy evenings, and I've been enjoying every moment of it. I have several cards and a few layouts to show you, but I need to take pictures of a few of them first and the batteries to my flash is charging right now. Will try to do it tomorrow in between visit from mother-in-law and garden work. :)

I also have to tell you that I've preordered the new Christmas set from Quickutz, called Santa's Workshop! The alpha is really nice and the dies (for making your own mini albums) look very promising! :D I'm not sure when it'll arrive, but I suppose it can't be THAT long. Looking forward to playing with those dies... ;)

Tadaaaa for now!

The Gothenburg Weekend

Hi all!

I'm back from our trip to Gothenburg now, and let me tell you - I had a GREAT time!! :D Not only did I get to spend some quality time with my husband and my good friends, but I also stayed at a great hotel, had great food, met lots of sweet scrap girls and did some fabulous shopping (and thus spent loads of money).

Since I really love to look at pictures of what other people shop, I'm going to indulge you in my shopping too - so if you're not interested; close your browser NOW! ;D

My collection of Distress Inks is now complete! ;)

Cardstock, yummy stamps (yes, there are Christmas stamps there, too!) and Prima flowers.

Plenty of alphas - foam, mini stickers, Thickers - Pearlmakers and a QK die I've been dying for (HA HA!) ;D

Finally - my very own scrap tote on wheels!!!

So, needless to say, I'm quite pleased with the weekend. Also, Kajsa has been a ray of sun at her grandparent's place - she just didn't want to go to sleep Saturday evening. Go figures - she takes after her parents - little night owl. ;)

Have to get back to work now before my break is over.

Take care!!
