Do the Bell hop

As you all know - the release of the exclusive Elisabeth Bell images for SCACD takes place tomorrow. Make sure that you get your hands on these cuties. Mine arrived today and I was so excited to ink them up right away. They are adorable, cute, funky, wonderful, stunning....well the list could be long. I can't show you all of them here - of course - but if you want to join me for a blog-hop - then you get to see a lot of them and of course I will have a new card for you to show tomorrow :-)

I got to display Danni - Danni loves butterflies and as a coincidence - that's something our DT member Danni does too....so our sweet Susana decided to name this image after her - I think that is so super sweet and just like our Susana! This cute Danni has wings - but I wanted to show you what she looks like without them - just so that you know how useful she is with or without wings.

Inked her with Memento Rich Cocoa - love that since it gives the images a soft look.

Coloured her with my copics added some stickles and used my new White Inkssential pen for highlights.

I used my new DPs from Basic Grey - Urban Prarie - love them as well and especially this one - since it has butterflies on (right Danni?? :-). Added some Bella Baubles and a heart shaped charm. Cut out matching flowers with my flower punches and added spacers in the centers.

Used the Limeade Ribbon and addes some scrap from the DP.

Sentiment is a Susanament and I decided to use "Just because" - and that's for Danni my sweet DT friend - Just because of you sweetie - you inspired me to make this butterfly card.

I hope you like the new images as much as I do and now - go on our little blog hop - Please start at our talented Suzanne's blog.

Thank you also for your very sweet b'day wishes for Isac. He had a wonderful time. I'm totally exhausted after all the cooking and baking - so today I am just focusing on colouring these new cuties.

Happy b'day Isac

This is a picture of 4 generations of the Bärgman family. It's Isac, me, my Dad and my Grandmother Aina. She was so pleased that she could be part of Isac's Baptism, but she got ill the week after and sadly passed away October 2nd. She got to be 93 years old and we love her so much and we tell Isac about her often. She and I was very close and we had tons of fun together. The gown that Isac is wearing is a gown that we all have worn - even my Dad ;-)

You can see the names on the gown of all of us that has worn it.

Can you believe it - today this little cutie turns 3. I know that everyone keep on telling me that time flies when you have kids - but I mean - it can't be three years ago since this little fellow arrived. What did we do before?



Oh - I almost forgot to post the card that I made for him. Thank you Tammi for sending me the perfect image to colour- Isac love airplanes and dogs :-)

We all love our little Indian - So happy b'day Isac and now we better get your b'day party going!

Love Mom and Dad

Grattis - Congratulations

Ready for TIOT27? Well - here it is: We should use the following sketch provided by our guru - Suzanne and make a b'day card.
First I thought of making a b'day card for Isac - since he turns 3 tomorrow - but then I decided not to (well -I will make one for him of course - but not this one.. ;-). I wanted to make a card for a little girl this time.

I decided to use little Cathrine with kittens from Anki's Sweethearts #2. I coloured her with my copics. Then I was lucky to have my SU DPs in the mail last week (thank you Elizabeth) that would fit perfectly with these colours. Yes - I did colour Cathrine first - and then matched with the papers. Sometimes I do the other way around - but it's nice to spend some time just colouring when you are enjoying vacation time as I am right now ;-) Chalked around the edges with pine cone. Cut out matching flower with my punch and added some roses from stash to the center. Added the pink (it's more pink in real life than on the pic) ribbon from SU and some Bella Baubles. Cut out Grattis (Congratulations in Swedish) with my new QK alphabet that my Italian friend Serena was so kind enough to send me. Serena was also included a lot of stamps for me - what a suprise it was. And there I she had sent me this little cute mouse from all the way from Italy. I could not resist him - he needed to go on the inside of the card.



Hope you would like to play with us and upload your card/project on SCS or PCP with the keyword "TIOT27".

Oh - and make sure that you don't miss the chance to win some yummy candy - check out all the details on our store blog.

The release day is getting closer ;-)

RoP Summertime and Vacation

We are having a new challenge for you over at Roses on Paper. This time it's our sweet Iris who is your hostess. She wanted us to make a card with Summer and Vacation time in mind.

Well - as you might now - Summer in Sweden is either sun and heat or rain. I can tell you this last week we have really had our share of rain. We had a heat wave the week before and everyone was thinking - Oh - it's too hot. Well - now we all are wondering - where's the sun??

So for my card I decided to use Miss Anya from the set Rain, Snow, Shine.

I coloured her with my copics and made the "sun" behind her with copics as well. Chalked around the edges with pine cone. DPs from SU. Added the letters "SOMMAR" = Summer in Swedish from the stickers I received from sweet Serena. Added flowers and the "Hälsning" = Greeting in Swedish.

Hope you like it. Also - I hope that you have not missed the news regarding Belles'n Whistles.

I also want to take the time to congratulate the ladies that made it for the Guest DT spot for August and September:

Lilian of Color to Paper
Lynda of Lynda's Scrappy Place
Krumel of Kruemels Bastel Blog

Kram and hope that you find the time to join us for this challenge.

The challenge over at Papertake weekly is "My favourite things" - well for me it's always family and friends and then of course the Anki's Sweethearts ;-) especially when I see what you all have been creating using my illustrations. So of course - I had to colour one myself again - here you have Young Julia with purse - inspired as you know by my niece Julia (now 7 months old).

I coloured her with my copics and then using - just repeating myself these days it seems......the wonderful, wonderful DP from SU. I am so in love with them. The colours are just what I like - YUMMY ;-=)

Cut out some flowers with my punches and added Bella Baubles to the center. Added the Sentiment "Friend" from SU. Also - attached the Cupcake ribbon.

Here's what the inside of the card looks like:

And the back - loving the personalized stamp that I won over at Prickiform.

Hope you like it and I am so pleased with myself - finally got the chance to participate in several challenges again. Can't say it enough times - I'm loving vacation!!!

Thank you Miss

The challenge over at Cute Card Thursday is to create a thank you card for the teacher.

Well - I am lucky to have - as I hope you agree to - a perfect image for this - Teacher Rebecka from Anki's Sweethearts collection no 2.

I also must say - I am so happy that I got the time to play in this challenge again. I have sooo missed being part of this. So again - vacation is just wonderful. I inked up Rebecka with Memento on the new papers that Jeanette was so kind to send me. What a difference - the copics worked so much better on these papers than the one's I've had earlier. Thank you dear.

Decided to make a gate fold card. They are so easy and fun to do - don't you agree?

As you know by know - I am totally in love with my new SU DPs so - here you see that I've used them again. Also - I think it was Bev that once said that she was into the pink and green season - well dear - you've passed it on to me. Didn't know that it was that contagious ;-)

Chalked around the edges with pine cone and then added the heart that I've made out of flower tread/wire. Finished it off with some Bella Baubles.

Added the matching DPs to the inside of the card.

Hope you like it!

Also - just want to whisper in your ear - you've all seen this blinkie - right?

COMING IN JULY!!

Hugs to you

Hope you are having a great Friday. Here it has been raining, raining and raining. I guess that's what we get after the heat wave that we had earlier. So - the good thing is that I can spend time in my craft room without feeling guilty ;-)

Here's a card that I wanted to show you. I received this cute stamp from my Italian friend Serena. Thank you sweetie - loving it! It's from an Italian store that you can find HERE.

I coloured this little fairy with my copics and chalked around the edges with pine cone.

I wanted to keep the layout rather clean and simple - as I said in my earlier post - back to basics:-). Love the new DPs that I got from SU - they are to die for. Would love it if they one day would enter the Scandinavian market. Until then - I have my sweet friend Elizabeth providing me with the new stuff :-)

Added Cupcake ribbon and hearts. The hearts are made by me - using flowerwire - you know the thinner metallic one - that you can find in different colours. I added a Bella Baubles in the center of them as well as on the bottom of the card.

Well- I hope you like it and that you will have a wonderful Friday!
