Coffee with Grandma

Happy Saturday ladies!

First of all - thank you so much for your concern about Isac. He is now much better - the fever is gone.
I just wanted to share a quick post with you today. The DPs inspired me this time to the
colours of my image. The DP name is Grandma's house ;-)

So I went with one of the the stamps from Bildmålarna - Mimosa Tea. Well - I drink tea - but prefer coffee - so that's why she's serving coffee for me :-) Also - my Grandmother (on my Father's side) and I was very close. We used to watch the sports together on Saturdays and drinking afternoon coffee and eating a lot of her yummy cakes.
So sweet Mimosa got some grey hair. I coloured her with my copics, added 3d gloss on the cup and pot. Some stickles in her hair and on her trousers.
Cut out the circles with my nesties and added the lace behind the brown one.
Finally I added some flowers and drops from my stash.
Hope you like it!
Have a great weekend and Happy B'day Marlene! Hope you will have a great day!

A star is born

or should I say - a little girl = en liten tjej in Swedish.

Made this card for someone to give to a newborn little girl. Hence - the DP behind her
trying to be layered as a small star.
DPs are from SU, ribbon, roses and that teddybear charm from my stash.
Added a couple of Baubles as well. The cute little girl is Susy - from the SCACD Heart and Hugs release no2. Oh - and yes - she's coloured with copics of course ;-) Sentiment from Aud Design.

Sorry for this short post today - but I am home with Isac who has a cold, fever and terrible cough.

1 stamp - 4 seasons

Hej!

It's Tuesday again and that means a new challenge from our talented DT guru - Suzanne!
This time she wants us to show versatility with the E Bell Ornament serie for SCACD. I really love these and it was so much fun to force yourself to think outside the box - if you know what I mean. Well - I decided that I wanted to show you how you can use 1 stamp for all 4 seasons. I wanted to use the 3 French Hens stamp - so here we go:

Spring



Summer
Could not make a card without using the Basic Grey Lemonade Papers ;-)
I changed the leaves in her hair to be flowers - hence hey are blue. Added the sentiment Too cute from SU, ribbons from my stash, roses and Bella Baubles. I think she looks just as sweet as candy - and talking of candy - still had some left in matching colours :-)


Fall/Autumn
Here you have her dressed in the Fall colours. Used DPs from my stash and my new leaf punch - loving it :-). Sentiment is a Susanament.

Winter

Here you have a card saying Merry X-mas in Swedish (sentiment from Aud design).
I wanted to make the image look like a real X-mas Ornament in glass. Therefore I used the
technique cracked glass. Have never done that before - but it was a lot of fun. Not sure if you can tell from the pic though. Used DPs from my stash and added a ribbon.

Well - I hope you like my projects and get the inspiration to use these adorable images in many, many different ways. So you see - 1 stamp can be used for 4 seasons ;-) Have a great week and check out the rest of the DTs cards/projects.

PS. Sorry - I see that I made some ink run on one of the cards....just my typical luck......

Tania baking

Happy Monday Everyone!

Today it's time for a new challenge over at our RoP/BnW Challenge blog. It's our talented Jodi who challenge us to make a card using the colours Orange, Brown and Green. We should also combine it with a sketch. Luckily I've made one over at our BnW blog - so for me it was easy...*lol*
I coloured sweet Tania with my copics. Isn't she a darling. For my DPs I used both SU and some that I got at our local scrapevent Frändescrappen. Again - tried to keep a clean layout and of course - needed to use my leaf punch AGAIN... Hope you are not getting bored yet....hihi.........

Well - if you want to see the sketch that I was using - pop over to our BnW blog.
Also - please make sure that you check our RoP/BnW Challenge blog to see what the rest of the DT girls have been up to.

Kram and hope you will have fun!

Mmm.....Yes please!!

And who would love to have a piece of that yummy pie??? Well - I would. The weather has been really awful here in Sweden this weekend - it's November weather - meaning rain, rain and rain. So I would only want to stay indoors and of course - a slice of that pie would be great.
Don't you just love this image? They are so cute together. I coloured "Mmm....yes please" with my copics - trying to keep the same colours as in the DPs - Eskimo Kisses (love, love, love those yummy papers).
Kept the layout rather clean. Chalked the edges with pine cone. Added the buttons from Eskimo kisses and snow flakes cut out with my punch.
Well - that's it. Hope to see you back here tomorrow - because then we have some new fun for you for our RoP/BnW challenge and also on the BnW blog.
Kram and have a great Sunday!

Filled with chocolate

Loving Saturday mornings! Don't you? Where the family can walk in their PJs for a very long time...hihi.....

Just wanted to share a quick post with you today. I made this milk cartoon container for a friend of mine - they are going to a party this evening and she wanted something new to hold the chocolates that they are bringing. The tutorial is from Becky.
You've seen me doing this one earlier - but then it was covered almost with all of the Anki's Sweethearts images. This time I went for the style instead of the cute factor.

So here you have it! DPs from my stash, ribbon from Prickiform, stamps from SU.

Have a fun weekend and now I better get out of my PJ ;-)

Grattis på födelsedagen!

Hej!

As you all have noticed - this weeks TIOT is a Try it out Friday instead - due to our mini-release of the wonderful creations of Elisabeth Bell and Victoria Case for SCACD.

Suzanne wanted us to create a Halloween or Fall card. Well - we don't celebrate Halloween in Sweden (well - some have started to do so - just because the shops want to sell stuff ;-) - so I decided to make a b'day card using Fall colours.

I stamped the adorable Milla using my Memento Tuxedo Black - that I think is the best when you want to colour with your Copics.
Then I went for a rather "clean" layout using my DPs from stach. I also cut two laces with my Martha Stewart punches. Added some Baubles and matching Petaloo Dazzlers.

The sentiment is from Aud Design and it's saying Happy B'day in Swedish.

Wish you all a wonderful day and I am looking fwd to read your comments. Also - don't miss the rest of the DTs creations for you to be inspired by.

Kram Anki
