Fussy and fancy at LLC

Hello there everybody! 

Its finally sunday again and that means Im hosting todays posting over at the Live and love crafts blog - yay! Our theme this week is Fussy and fancy and if theres any card you can make however fancy and fussy you want its a wedding themed one ha? I never have trouble adding details, however to stop at the right time can be a bit challenging. After all you are supposed to see the image ;) lol! 

I received a lovely quest from a lady this week that asked if I wanted to make her daughter a wedding card. Now theres something to think about? NOT! he, he, he! 

As her daughter gets married during the easter holidays coming up she wanted some easter stuff on there and bits and pieces of yellow. I added some cute daffodils and used a dp from Pion design called Newly hatched. White is otherwise the color I immediately think of when hearing the word wedding so I also decided to add loads of white details. 

I used two of the new gorge laces that Sandy only recently added to her stock. You can find them in the LLC store amongst so many other amazing details. If you want to you can browse til the end of my posting to the inlinkz gallery where you just click the pic and it will take you right there. The one with hearts alongside my image is called "Amour". Isn't it just beautiful?? 

I hope she will treasure this for her daughter. I sure enjoyed making it. 

Lots of love

With this little miss - easter greetings at MDUC

Good evening (or good morning to my aussie friends ;)) 

WHOOOOOT WHOOOOOOOT!! 

Time for another challenge with us at Magnolia Down Under and this week, very suitable our challenge is EASTER GREETINGS. 

I chose to work with my all time fav Magnolia easter stamp again. Isn't she just adorable? Its one of those I know for sure I will use again and again ;) 

She was planned to be dressed in green to match the beyond lush dp´s also from Magnolia but then I saw my teamie Debbie's card in the pre post and my lord...well, lets put it like this. Her card is like...amazing and then some and she used the same stamp and colored her green so I thought I would not since theres like no chance in hell I can play in the same division ;) lol! 

There are some beautiful pink flowers on the dp as well so I chose to color her in pink nuances and poor Tilda was colored in my couch in the evening with obviously just a tinch of light and she got a tan. There was no time for me to do it all over again so come on, lets pretend! She literarily just got of the plane for the Canary Islands ;) he, he, he! I will never try that again ;) I like living on the edge though ;) 

So in spite of Tildas "lovely" tan I hope I have inspired you to join us. We would love it if you could! We are so thankful each week to see so many entries and they are all awesome, I love to hop around to get to know you all. 

I also thought I would mention that I appreciate all of the lovely emails and messages asking me how my girlies are doing. Thats just so cute! 

They are improving but sadly they did spread it, so now I have a cold. But better me than any of them.. 

Bring on spring!  Im soooo more than ready...

Lots of love 

Inspired by a picture at LLC and midway reminder at CLP

Good morning friends and followers! 

Today Im actually a bit ashamed...a while ago I received the most amazing email! Be calm, thats so not why Im blushing right now..Anyways, it was from a beloved and much admired friend namely Chelsea. Im sure you already know about her - her style is through the roof beautiful and vintage and shabby and all the things I love :) She is also the owner of the most awesome sketch challenge blog there is, CLP challenges. I have always done my very best to enter each month because the sketches only are so lush and inspirational and lets face it. We all get stuck sometimes and theres nothing better to help but a great sketch! Therefore I was ecstatic when reading her email, she wanted to add me to her design team and let me tell you I didn't even have to consider that two seconds! Its a YES! 

She already had a great dt but as some of them decided it was time to move on not only me but a lot of my most treasured friends in blogland got the same invite. Im so proud to be working alongside these gorge ladies. But then it happened..I chose to be on the reminder post midmonth and that was this friday right? OMG!! My poor little ladies had been ill again and I totally couldnt contribute in time so thats what Im ashamed of. My very first CLP post and I miss out!! Can you believe it! Well, yesterday hubby was at home to and took the little ladies so I could get down and crafty! I decided on making my first CLP card but since its luckily sunday its also my turn to host the gorge LLC blog and I did a combo this time. 

Over at LLC we have been busy with interpreting an inspirational picture this week. As always I want to remind you to also look at the adorable creations my teamies has done too while you're there. Its amazing how many ways there is to interpret a picture. 

The picture is courtesy of a swedish interior design shop called Ljuva hem, in Nödinge, Sweden. Adorable ha? Right up my alley ;) 

It was so easy to sit and create, I had that flow again. Sandra really is so generous and she stocks like..everything i want! The only hard part is to decide on what to use because she now stocks even more gorge embellies! I used some of them on my card. You can see them listed at the bottom of my post but just to mention some, check out that amazing gingham ribbon (sigh..gorge!) and the big lush lace. Not to mention the flower spray! Sooooo my new addiction! Image is Magnolia Tilda and I colored her with my di´s on 300 g watercolor paper. 

And since its a combo I followed this luscious sketch at CLP, we would love it if you could come join us! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ASKING ME Chelsea, its a huge honor and I promise: next time I wont be late! Check out the pics below for more of my creation up closer: 

Thank you all so much lovelies for checking in with me! 

It means so much! 

Lots of love,

Excuse boys...you're in my gym space

Hi there friends and followers! 

Its sunday and little lucky me is hosting the Live and love crafts blog today :) 

This week we have celebrated woman around the world and as soon as I heard of this weeks theme I knew I wanted to be pretty literal about it ;) 

I had the perfect digi stamp in mind and she's from Saturated Canary. Pretty strong ha? I also fell like a rock for the cool sentiment that comes along with the image. It says: "Excuse me boys, you're in my gym space" Gotta love that! 

(Actually its something I wish I could have said but...Im never at the gym..soooo...that ship kind of sailed...I don't see myself going anytime soon either! ;)) 

Im still loving those Alma papers from Pion Design and I used two lush sheets here. The charm is named "Kings crown" and I thought it would go great with this little spunky lady. (all items will be found listed at the end of this post via Inlinkz.com) 

I used some of the awesome shabby seam binding and colored it in with my di ink pad, weathered wood to achieve that dim blue nuance. Heres some close ups, Im hoping you will like this! 

Thanks for looking! 

Lots of love

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MDUC!

Hi lovelies! 

Today is a very special day indeed! Its MDUC time again BUT we are in a celebrating mood since we are turning 4!! YAY! YAY! Congrats to us! 

We would seriously be nothing to talk about if it wasn't for all of you whom enters and are following us. THANK YOU so much for sticking by us, we really appreciate it. Love is coming your way! 

So in honor of MDUC we have all created some pretty stunning birthday themed projects. Hurry on over to the challenge blog to take a look at all of them. 

I decided to do a card with two little Tilda's again. Im pretty fond of that and have made a couple already. Ive also stepped out of my comfort zone pretty big on this one...can you see one Tilda has got red hair? My word, I don't know if I fancy it yet? Ive never colored red hair with di´s either so I can see I still need practice ;) Otherwise Ive also used a couple of different other Magnolia products on here, namely all the dp´s, the sentiment and the heart die. 

Before I leave you Id like to share some more close ups:

Thank you so much for checking in with me today! 

Lots of love, 

You are a pearl for LLC

Good morning and WELCOME! 

Today is sunday already and that means its my turn to host the lovely Live and Love Crafts blog. Our weekly theme is PEARLS. If you haven't looked at the beyond gorge creations made by my teamies throughout the week I really think you should. As always theres a little bit for everybody. Magnolia, vintage and shabby chic all rolled up into one amazing week of posts. A little reminder also about our monthly challenge for march, a nice, easy one - its Easter. We would love it if yo joined in! 

Back to my card. I have actually used Violets times two on here. The image is a lovely Saturated Canary named Vintage Violet and I inked her with my Copics this time. The papers are soooo scrummy and of course they are Pion Design called Violet. 

The alphabet stickers says "You are a pearl" in swedish and I don't think you say that in english, right? Well, its almost the same as your: "You are a gem"

To apply for a dt assignment with Live and love crafts store and Sandy sure is the best choice I made in my life craft wise - man, she stores some AMAZING decos! ;) lol! Its so easy to make cards now. The Poppies I have applied amongst the flowers are so stunning and has quickly become a fav flower. Sandy stocks them in amazing colors such as white, pink, lilac and teal.  I have a better close up of the flowers beneath.

You will find the links to all the beautiful decos Ive used on my creation at the bottom of this posting. 

Look at those beyond lush poppies on top!

LLC Challenge march: Easter

Hi there friends and followers! 

Wow!! We have the most amazing sunny day in Sweden today! Oh, how I have longed for the yummy sun to show its vibrant face :) Welcome spring! 

I'm also very happy to welcome you here to let you know all about the new Live and Love crafts challenge! Our theme for the month of march is EASTER and this is what I created. 

I have coloured up a new tooooo adorable little ballerina bunny Tilda from Magnolia, you can see her up close here: 

I choose to color her to resemble our very own little buddy: Thumper. Thumper is already two years old and here he is together with my daughter Signe. Thumper is a little black, beige, "yellow" and grey. He's a real sweetheart and allows us to really cuddle him. 

I guess its no surprise to anybody these days that Im such a sucker for Pion Design papers? Sandy made us all a huge favor and decided to restock these BEAUTIFUL easter themed papers from the "Fairytale of spring" collection. I used the one with these adorable chicks called "Newly hatched". (You can click the link in my Inlinkz gallery at the end of my post and it will take you there in an instant. Sandy also has purchased a lot of new items lately, for instance some really lovely laces. A check up at the Live and love crafts store is in place if its been a while. My teamies have created the most adorable makes for this challenge for you all to inspire from. As always theres something for everybody, a little vintage, a little shabby! 

Thank you so much for checking in with me today! 

Lots of love
