Follow Your Dreams, DT card for HM&FMC

A quick CAS card from me today to remind you

that we are half through the ongoing challenge at

House Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge.

Stacey is our lovely host this time and the theme she

has chosen is a funny one:

FLOWER/ FLOUR POWER (if you dear)

 As I said, a simple card from me today, the image is called ' In A Nutshell'.

I have stamped directly on to the cardstock and coloured 

the little sweety with my Prisma Colour Pensils.

I have added a lot of glitter onto the water.

For once I desided also to stamp the sentiment on to the

cardstock, but what happend then??

I maneged to smear it out and had to look for an alternative.

A piece of ribbon and some white buttons and some banners

and my card is ready.

We are proudly sponsored by:

Flower/Flour Powder, A DT card for HM&FMC

I'm late with my post today  but better late than never.

Our super talented Teamie Stacy Morgan is hosting this Challenge and has chosen...

 FLOWER / FLOUR POWER

I have used this super cute 'Lavender Dreams' for my card.

Originally I had intended to use a different image, but when a friend of

It's diffecult to see but it's a step card.

Flower, pearl and ribbon are from my stash.

Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells.... A DT card for ABC Christmas Challenge.

Good morning to all,

a new Wednesday, a new letter and a new challenge at 

ABC Christmas Challenge.

Lacey is our host today and she has chosen 

J for Jingle Bells

The only image I have with a bell on is  'Jingle Jangle Tilda' from Magnolia.

She is put together with design paper from 'Glitz',

and if you take a closer look I think you'll

be able to see the bells on the brightest paper.

The big poinsettia is from Prima, and the banner with 'Jul' -which means

 Christmas- are made with a die from Magnolia.

Stickles are added onto Tilda's hat.

All edges are distressed with Vintage Photo.

My usual backside with my personal stamp.

 "Feeling Blue"

I have made a little 'To Feel Better' gift for someone.

A teacup filled  a chocolate and a hot drink.

 with the right sentiment.

I have used it for a Christmas card earlier,

you can find it here.

Ribbon, charm and pearls are from my stash.

4x julehjertekort.

Nu skal I ikke tro at masseproduktion er blevet almindeligt hos mig,

men jeg havde brug for nogle gaver/gevinster til en speciel begivenhed,

og sammen med  'Henry Fejrer x4' er det mine bidrag.

Vi er 15 damer fra jobben som rejser med tog til Oslo i eftermiddag,

vi skal for 4 gang deltage i Holmenkollstafetten. 

Min etappe er nr 13,

håber det ikke betyder uheld med det nummer!

På vej ind med toget skal vi hygge os med lidt mad, drikke og underholdnning-

bla et lotteri, hvor overdkudet går til tørstige stafetløbere!

Jeg glæder mig for det er en herlig 'gjeng'.

Jeg lavede en pakke med 4 nok så enkle julekort, hjerterne er standset

ud i stofrester som jeg havde liggende fra et andet projekt.

Sammen med et tekststempel fra LOTV, og en rød kant punched

med en MS punch er det såmænd det hele.

Kanterne er rundet af med en hjørnepunch for at lave kortet lidt blødere.

Inden i er der blot pyntet med indmaden af nogle af hjerterne.

Så blev de også brugt.

Her er de alle fire, ens men lidt forskellige.

Udfordringer:

•  Divas by design- Anything Goes
• Crafty Ribbons Challenge- #45 No design paper
• Whimsy Stamps Challenge Blog- Anything Goes
• Papertake Weekly- Anything Goes 
• CSAYL- #15 Lace or Fabric
• Totally Papercrafts- #166 CAS

Happy Christmas, DT card for ABC Christmas Challenge.

We are half way trough the

I for Inspirational Photo

 

at ABC Christmas Challenge.

We want you to get inspired by this beautiful photo and make a Christmas Project.

For today's card I have found my inspiration in the baubles,

and I have made a little garland with baubles in different colours.

The image is from Penny Black, it's the first time I ink it up.

The sentiment is from LOTV.

As you can see I have added Stickles to the image.

I did not take a photo of the backside of the card today,

because it only had my usual 'Handmade by' in a scalloped oval.

We have two fabulous sponsors this time, this means  two chances

 for you to become one of the random picked winners.

Feeling Blue.... DT card for HM&FMC.

On this beautiful Monday, House Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge brings

you a brand new challenge.

Could you imagine a better way of starting a new week??

Our lovely Paula  has chosen the theme this time and it's

Feeling Blue??

Interpret as the colour blue or unwell/sad!

I needed a card for my cousin who gave birth to a wonderful  baby boy a while ago,

so I went for a card with  the colour blue.

The image is called ' In A Pinch'

The papers are a mix of Bo Bunny and Little Yellow Bicycle, correct me if I'm wrong.

The wonderful die cut I have used as a frame, was a little gift

 sent to me from a lovely crafting friend.

I think it's a Memory Box die.

The tag with the sayings about babies, is made with a Magnolia die.

Together with the tag ther's a little pram (oh I love the word ) charm and Seam 

Binding coloured with Distress Reinks.

Well here is my usual back side with my personal stamp.

 

I have used sketch # 68 from Papertake Weekly.

Happy Purr-day.

Lidt lørdagsblogging samtidig med at Indiana Jones ruller 

over skærmen og beskæftiger den øvrige familie.

En film vi har set mange gange men den fænger stadig.

Jeg elsker eventyr- og fantasyfilm.

Kortet her er sendt for længe siden, helt uligt mig. Jeg blogger som

oftest kortene før jeg sender dem. Det er selvfølgelig ikke så 

spændende for modtageren hvis hun/han følger med her,

 men det passer som oftest bedst sådan!

Kortet er 'pige-udgaven' af dette kort, hvor jeg brugte bamser fra LOTV.

Kattene er fra Penny Black, jeg må nok tilstå at de så langt fra er slidt op.

Men de er super søde og perfekte til hurtige kort.

Papiret har jeg ikke helt styr på hvor er fra.

Inden i var der lige plads til en gratulationskat.

Bagsiden ligner forsiden.
Jeg har et 'plain' rundt stempel med 'Håndlavet af Dorte',
som jeg ofte kombinerer med en del af motivstemplet på fronten.
