My first X-mas card

and my contribution to this weeks Friday Sketchers challenge. http://fridaysketchersblog.blogspot.com/

The card is coloured with SU markers and highlighted with white gel pen. I wanted to try this time to only use the SU markers without my aquarell brush. The colouring is much stronger of course, but I thought it turned out OK anyway.

The stamp is from Inky Antics Rubber stamps http://www.inkyantics.com/best.htm

Paper from our local shop Pysselakuten. Text stamp from stampinup http://www.stampinup.com/us/enu/default.asp.

Looking fwd to read your comments. (Hopefully you'll see the cards better if you click on the pics.)

Ps. It was actually fun to create a X-mas card already. I did not think that I would be in the mood, but since vacation period is over - I was :-)

Friday Sketchers

My first entrance to the Friday Sketchers challenge (http://fridaysketchersblog.blogspot.com/).

I found the link to this fun and inspirational site from the talented Marlene http://mar1ene.wordpress.com/. So I thought I would give it a try. The colours were difficult to catch with my camera, since the lightning indoors is not perfect and it's pooring buckets outside.... Hope you'll like it anyway. Colouring with my SU markers and highlighted with glitter stickles, text stamp from SU as well as the white rub-on flowers. Cardstock from SU and from our local shop Pysselakuten. Pearls from our local shop Pysselakuten. The cute stamp by Elisabeth Bell (bought from Funky Kits http://www.funkykits.co.uk/catalog/)

Isac our 2-year old son love to help out, so he picked the flowers.

Some photos from our week at Romholmen

We spent a week in Romholmen (located in Nyköping) and from there we went on daily excursions to Skansen in Stockholm http://www.skansen.se/, Kolmården http://www.kolmarden.com/Om-Kolmarden/Sprak/English/ (a great park - if you ever visit Sweden you should def go there. Their dolphin show is amazing) and Julita gård (to visit Pettson and Findus) http://www.nordiskamuseet.se/julita/and also a short trip to Trosa http://www.trosa.com/index_eng.php.

Here's some photos....

Alexander's Christening

We were asked to be Alexander's God Parents. Alexander is Isac's youngest cousin (so far).
The Christening went well and Alexander were just adorable. Here's some few pics from the Christening + also the card that I made for him.

Water bottle holder and Post-it-notes cover

The days by the beach seems to be over. It's pooring down here at the moment and have been so for many days. The grass is growing, so I guess it looks like we are not here at all :-)
Well - inspired by the talented Angie http://chicnscratch.typepad.com/stampinacademy/ I tried to make some water bottle holders and post-it-notes covers. She has many great tutorials and I think it is fun to get a lot of new inspiration and not only for card-making.

I guess the water bottle holders could be used for example at big parties putting a name-tag on each of them. I put a "Merci-chocolate" in mine. (I am just showing one of the one's that I made).

The covers for the post-it-notes holder are light-weight coasters that I bought from Angie.

Hope you'll like them. Looking fwd to your comments.
Love,
Anki
