Flower fairies by Wee - for you on Valaentines day!

Hi everybody! 

Today Im back with an all new just for the fun of it card. Its another one I plan to give away for Valentines today. 

HAPPY VALENTINE! 

I will be spending the night with my family, we are not planned to go anywhere because Im still not doing well. As some of you may know Im suffering from double pneumonia. 

Ive been home from work a lot, this will be my third week and I was admitted to the hospital on tuesday as they didn't find anything wrong but my breathing didn't seem to go back to normal again. 

I hope you will be doing something really fun though! I think a lot of you are invited to a nice romantic candle light dinner - I know thats what I dream of ;) lol

These lovely fairies are from Wee Stamps, named Flower Fairies, they come in a set of two together with a lovely sentiment. Didn't use that here though. I inked them with my Copic sketches. 

I hope you will like this. 

Thank you so much for being here! 

Lots of love! 

My top 10 of 2013 (Ops, its a top 13 but don't tell anyone)

 Its a bit of a tradition for me to end the year sharing my top 10. 

This year will be no different, even though I didn't create anything between September and late December. 

Here it is:

Thank you so much for taking a look! 

I always enjoy making a top eh, eh 10 because it gives me a reason to reflect on the year that has past. I think 2013 is the year I can say I started using my Copic markers. In 2014 I will hopefully like the result I get using them. Muhahahahaha! 

Hope to see you in the new year! 

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! 

Lots of love 

Happy 1st birthday Ella

Hello there crafters! 

Long time no seen ;) Im enjoying vacation here, sadly I cant brag about the stunning summer weather with a beaming sun so I wont...;) I hope I will get to enjoy it soon though. 

Its sunday and my turn to host the inspirational post over at the Live and Love Crafts blog. As you all know by now we have been swooning in birthday celebrations for a couple of weeks now and today Im showcasing the last bday creation. Some of you may know that about the same time LLC was born the most adorable little baby girl (not that I am biased ;)) was born too, our little Ella. With this card we will wish her a first happy birthday! 

Ive used the most cute little girl image I could find, isn't she just stunning? She is available via the Wee stamp store and is named Angie. OMG...my heart can really pound at the sight of a stamp I love and  this made my pass out a little ;) lol! Angie is inked with my Copic markers. Im still going into the "zone" when Im inking. Poor family tries to talk to me and Im just mmmm-ing. ;) Its so out of my comfort zone but Im having fun! And without practice I wont get anywhere ;) I still have a loooong way to go but Im happy my inklings goes onto creations now so Id like to think there has been some progress. 

These beyond gorge papers from Pion Design are part of my all time FAVORITE paper collection, the "Studio of memories". Just look at those lush flowers on that 6*6 paper I used! Talk about making my heart skip a beat. Ella has always been very into music and every time she hears a tune she starts digging. The big metal music note is the perfect addition for her card, I added some shabby pink embossing enamel to that and the other metal ornaments, such as the love charm, the metal roses and the lovely number one embellie I added close to the image. And of course...I just had to use another one of those utterly beautiful frames from Melissa Frances again. They are addictive! 

I love that they are not that big, they fit onto a card really well. As always Ive added all the products Ive used with the Inlinkz gallery at the end of my posting. 

Heres some more close ups: 

Thank you so much for looking in today! Make sure to stop by again tomorrow cause thats july 1st and we are announcing a new challenge! YAY!
Lots of love

The tide always turns with Wee Shelley

Good morning everybody! 

This is my second posting as a gdt for WEE stamps illustrated by the hugely talented and very sweet Sylvia Zet. I made this sea themed card featuring the utterly sweet Shelley. She is available as a digi in the Wee stamp shop and as a rubber stamp in the Whimsy stamps store (amongst others). For those living in Sweden I can name a few rubber stamps stockists, they are available through Pysseltagen and Mikaelas Scrap in. Just follow my links. 

And what do you know? Sometimes Im a big surprise...she is inked with my Copic Sketch markers. And I can finally say Im happy with the result. I still have miles to go to be up there with my friends using this medium because they are such experts. ;) Unfortunately I was in a hurry to clean up my desk and didn't think to be as smart as some and photograph or name the markers Ive used...sorry. Here´s a close up of the lovely image: 

As always I added loads of stickles to the image. Mermaids are all about the glow right? 

The sentiment is from Magnolia stamps, so is those dies I used along one of the sides of the image (Thank you so much for them, Camilla, I treasure them very much!) and that cute to the boot Pirate Ship charm. I bought the shells in a local furniture store. Flowers are by WOC. Jute ribbon and the diamond (placed on the ribbon) Shelley found inside a treasure chest at the bottom at the ocean is bought at The ribbon girls. Ribbon is bought at Pysseltagen. You get a better idea of the items I just mentioned in the pic below. 

The beyond gorgeous lace was a gift from a treasured friend of mine, Elise. Thank you! 

With this card Id like to enter the current challenge with the cute ladies in the recently launched Copic Marker Sverige blog. The challenge is of course ;) to ink an image using Copics and also follow an amazing sketch. You can find the sketch in their blog. 

I hope you like my creation! 

Lots of love,

April showers brings May flowers

Hi there everybody! 

Its sunday and my turn to host the inspirational post in the Live and love crafts blog. Today Ive chosen to work with an utterly amazing rubber-stamp by Wee stamps illustrated by the talanted Sylvia Zet. And you know what?? Im so HAPPY I think I could pass out ;) lol Lovely Mariska, dt coordinator at Wee emailed me asking me if I wanted to guest design for them? EH...let me think??? No! Of course Im just kidding I had to say YES right away! I will be a guest in may together with some other stunning guests, if you want to know more check the Wee blog here. 

Over at Live and love crafts our weekly theme is April showers brings may flowers. And little Hopeful by Wee is perfect for this occasion for two reasons I think. Of course has luscious flowers in her hair but also since my fav season is summer and spring is the next best thing Im loving her name too. Hopeful, Im hopeful summer will come ;) Soon ;) 

Can you see that amazing lace Ive used, its a real broad one and I LOVE it! As usual you can find the links to all items used via Inlinkz at the bottom of this posting. With a simple click it will take you right there in the LLC store. 

I hope you like todays make

Lots of love 

Wee...ry cute winterfairy

Hi friends and followers! 

Im just in for a quick posting today to share a tag card I made featuring wee stamps cute little winter fairy :) 

Its a christmas card and I have given my Copics a try again. Not at all satisfied this time...guess it goes up and down. ;) Just when you think you cracked the code you realize you're just one of those trying to learn. This might sound really weird but what I want to achieve is really a more scandinavian look, resembling my di´s. ;) I bet many of you are thinking, why don't you just stay with those then? I truly love the result Copics brings, they are more "clear" in some way. Hm? Do you know what I mean? 

Id really LOVE tips on which colors to buy then. So if you have a tip or two? Bring them on! 

The papers are from Pion Design. The sentiment is from Stempelglede. Have to run now! Sorry! 

Big hugs! 

Thank you so much for checking in with me today! 

Lots of love 

Wee stamps: Hope ♥

Welcome! I´m so delighted to see you here! ♥

Today I´d like to showcase an easelcard I made :) And..it´s not with a Magnolia stamp ;) I´m sooo into those I seem to choose them all the time! This is little Hope, she is illustrated by the extermily talanted Sylvia Zet and I´m sure you heard about her. She has her own line of beautiful whimsical stamps, available both in digi and rubber version. This little stunner is part of a set I bought last summer from SCACD. If you visit Sylvias lovely blog via my link up here you can learn more about how to order your very own. Which you want, right? ;)

I prefer rubber since my medium is di´s :) I know a lot of you talanted crafters out in blogland knows how to color digi´s with di´s but no matter how many god tips and amazing tut´s I see and people share with me I´m so off in that matter. I never seem to get it right ;)

I have used some truly gorgeous di´s that were a gift from my amazing friend, Jane, for my birthday. They are My minds eye and is named Miss Caroline. Thank you so much hunni! I adore it! ♥  

The lilies are from the Magnolia store i Borås and all of the other flowers are WOC. The sentiments are from Magnolia too, so is the lovely charm.  I have used a PATP set from MS for the lacelike edge. As usual all edges are sewn and I have also added some picket fence distress crackle paint on there.

I´d like to enter my card into two challenges:

CLP Challenges : following this lovely sketch

and over at Deep Ocean challenges my former teamies want´s to see us use punches / dies.

Thank´s to all of you for creating such amazing challenges for us all to join! It´s so much fun!

Thank you so much for checking in with me today!

Hugs xXx

Deep Ocean Challenge #12: Vintage

Time for a new challenge at Deep Ocean today and I´m so exited to tell you about the theme we have chosen for this fortnight. It´s VINTAGE! 

One of my absolute fav cardmaking styles. The funny thing is I´m not totally sure my card is vintage, maybe I would call it more shabby chic but to me they kind of go hand in hand ;) 

Click here to see the beautiful entries by my lovely teamies - we are welcoming some new members this week. Curious? He, he,he! I´m such a tease, they are stunning cardmakers so head on over to see who it is! 

We are so proud to have you girlies! 

I used this amazingly cute image by Sylvia Zet. This one is relased by Whimsy Stamps and is called Rose´s bike ride. I´m so happy I decided to buy them because I truly enjoy working with them, they are stunning! 

She is inked with my di´s on 300g watercolourpaper. The gorgeous vintage looking papers are all from Pion Design. The little pretty bow with the rose is bought at the Magnolia store in Borås, as is the cute charm, the tulips, lace, minitag and the lush big Prima Rose. I have added Distress crackle paint picket fence to all the edges as well as I have sewn them. All of the other flowers are from WOC.The clock is a die from TH. The alphabeth stickers I placed on the minitag is from Making memories. 

I used the marvellous sketch over at Pink {INK} sketches and it´s so beautiful! Loved working with it :) 

Thank´s cuties!
