Visit by the Blomberg brothers

Well, last weekend we had the Blomberg brothers over - with their mom Anna (one of my husband's sisters).

The Blomberg brothers are Isac's cousins Emil, Viktor and little Alexander. Well - we all were watching the football - Sweden-Spain and that was a great game, but now the European championship is over for Sweden, since we lost against Russia....... Well - that's life....

However - here are some great photo's from the game Sweden-Spain.

Viktor in his t-shirt from our Chicago visit ;-), Isac holding Alexander, Emil - trying to hide.. and Isac shouting Go Sweden Go!

I also managed to finalize the gift-bags for Isac's teachers at the day-care center (luckily I like being up late at night when everyone else has gone to sleep ;-))

The stamps are from hänglar & stänglar. I hope you can see that I also used some glitter-stickles on as well...... Then I found cute silver hearts (with a bell) to go in each gift-bag......

This week it has not been any creativity at all, since Isac has been ill......., but I managed to order some new stuff from Stampin Up demonstrator Elizabeth in Chicago - thank you Elizabeth!!!

Some more cards and a giftbag

that I have made lately....

Time flies

Well, time flies when you have tons of things to do. It has been some long working days - both at work + at home. It is not always easy to combine your worklife, family life and your hobby ;-) But luckily there are 24 hours a day...

This week it is the graduation week for many of the students in our area and I have been asked to create some cards after specific orders. I must say - it is so much more fun to have someone special in mind while you create your cards. Especially, since you then need to draw things yourself and not only use stamps.

Well - here are the results of my orders....... Hope you'll like them. Looking fwd to hear your comments.

Lot's of love, Anki

PS. I made it to the beach as well - so I have not spent these couple of warm and beautiful days only indoors. Luckily it does not get dark in Sweden during June :-)

Not been able to create anything in over a week....

Well - last weekend we thought summer was here and everything was really great!
My cousin Niklas was here with his wife for a short visit. We had a BBQ for lunch and it was really a lovely Saturday. What we did not know was that Petar and I had caught a stomach disorder from another party we attended that week.
Sunday was as beautiful until.......yes, you can guess what...
So - finally - I am no longer "hugging" the bucket. The only thing that was amazing is that Isac did not get sick - really something to be grateful about.
Well - after a week in bed - doing nothing - you can only imagine how much I was looking fwd to get started again.
I have now also started to figure out what stamps that I do not see on the market - stamps that I myself miss. We'll see if I can get enough self-confidence and go ahead and maybe produce a few - only for myself...... Until then - we'll then I guess I have to stick to the stamps from hänglarochstänglar - that I think is really cute, but sometimes you do not want "cute" - if you understand what I mean......
Well - here are a few new cards, a small purse that I made for my neighbours daughter (turning 18 tomorrow). I also made a card for their son - but here I had to draw myself, since I could not find a stamp with a BBQ on ;-)
Hope you'll like them.... If you feel like it - let me know what you would like to see on this blog..... Lot's of love - Anki

PS. Fika means = go for a coffee, Student = The Swedish Graduation - coming up early June
