Adore


Finally I got some time to play with Tiets lovely sketch over at Sugar Bowl.
It is a really fun sketch and I moved some pieces around - but I hope you can see it anyway. It was also a long time since I used this sweet Sugar Nellie image - I just adore it ;-)
I am also trying to figure out our new scanner and how to scan my cards (I used to take pics of the cards with our camera). The colours really do not show off as in real life - I think it looks so pale vs the original. Any tips or ideas on how to improve the scanning are greatly appreciated.
Card ingredients:

Cardstock and DPs - all from SU
Flowers from stash
Spacer from min underbara vän Marlene (yes - another Swedish lesson for you my friend)
Ribbon - both from SU
Ticket - from the sweet Judy
Stamp - Sugar Nellie - Pickin' Apples
Colours: SU markers, highlights with stickles and white gel pen.

Well - that's all for tonight. I need to go to bed early today. No more holidays. Tomorrow I'm back in reality again - i.e working, working, working.........

Hej!
Jag börjar känna mig lite tjatig;)
Du gör så väldigt fina kort och det här senaste är fantastiskt!
Funderar på att spendera lite pengar på Stamping up- punchar. De är grymma.
Ha det bra!

WOW WOW Anki... That card is adorable. I was sitting here trying to figure out what color you used for her pants, I LOVE that color. Then I read you used Stampin up. But I'm still guessing what color! LOL
I see a swedish lesson here, and I'm glad that Marlene is your wonderful friend! HA... =) And I was just at her page as well. Fantastic work she does! =)

About your scanner, I think once you scan the image then you can adjust colors in your photo editing program. That usually works for me when I scan any type of pictures.
ha det bra min van! =) is that right?
