The royal (Magnolia) family is back at Sofiero

Hi there friends and followers! 

Welcome to my last anything goes themed creation for the Live and Love Crafts blog, this is also a GDT card for Noor! Design.

Ive chosen to work with an utterly lovely little Tilda princess and placed her in a window of a castle released early on. She is inked with Copics. Of course I just had to pair her up with my absolute fav paper collection. Its called Sofiero and is from Maja design. I decided I wanted to challenge myself a little by not using the sheets that are soooo obviously me and went for the also amazing but not that pink sheets. Ive used both front and backside of "Princess Margareta´s garden". For those unaware of what Sofiero is and why thats the name I can tell you a little about it cause it also explains the title I gave my post. 

The summer of 1864 the swedish crown-prince couple named Oscar II and his wife Sofia spent a summer at a friends house in south the south of Sweden near the city of Helsingborg. The both loved it so much they started looking for properties they could buy. It was considered a good thing for them all as they were sick and they needed the fresh air. They soon found a property with a priesting on it called "Skrabelycke" and renamed it "Sophie-Ro". They lived a much more free life on their in their new castle but as they became king and queen of Sweden they moved back to Stockholm and the royal visits to the castle became more and more rare as time went by. The beautiful castle is still there and today its a beautiful park with amazing nature and beautiful plants. Year 2010 it was named the most beautiful park in Europe.

So this is why I wrote the royal family is back at Sofiero ;) Princess Tilda is royal indeed :) Don't you think? ;) 

Ive also used another amazing LLC product that I want to mention. Ive always loved the flower sprays and now Sandy of LLC also decided to stock them in  my fav color - pink! OMGosh, I cannot tell you how lovely these are! Stunning! I have also used the amazing tulle :)

As always you can see the products Ive used listed at the end of my post, just click the picture and it will take you right there. 

The Noor! Design products of my choice are these two luscious dies: 

I love them both so much, the first one was a gift from my beloved friend Debbie for my birthday. Thank you so much sweetie! 

That was all from me today, I hope you liked my make :) 

Lots of love

Santa Tilda is coming to town

Hi there fellow crafters and friends! 

I´d like to welcome you to the start of our new challenge running all throughout august over at the Live & Love crafts blog. We have another amazing theme that was really fun to work with, its WARM or COOL colors. This is also a GDT card for Noor! Design. 

I chose to work with warm colors. Let me tell you it turned out to be a big challenge as everything about winter season is cold ;) And my gosh, its a good thing white is neither warm or cold but a complimentary color (as well as black) because then I could use that freely ;) lol

Heres a picture to help you see which is which if you're not sure: 

The stamp is a Tilda from Magnolia and I colored her with distress ink pads on 300 g watercolor papers. 

The papers are from Maja Design. The collection is called "Its christmas time". Look at that cute Santa peeking out ;) I felt I had to also add a couple of christmas apples and the mini apples are perfect for that. I paired them up with the amazing berry pin. It looks a bit like a snowball don't you think? A very fashionable snowball but still ;) As always you can see all the products Ive used from Live & Love crafts at the end of this posting. 

In this picture you can also see the beyond lush snowflake die from Joy Designs (Noor! Design) a little better. 

Here´s the BEAUTIFUL laser-cut snowflake I was talking about. Its designed by cute and incredibly talented Jolanda Bergman for a newly started dutch company called Dutch Doobadoo. 

Do not forget to take a look at the gorge creations by my talanted teamies :)

Thank you so much for being here today :)

Friends are sisters we choose (GDT Noor! Design)

Hi crafty friends and welcome to my place! 

Im so hugely exited about todays posting :) A few weeks ago I was asked on Noor! Design as a gdt by lovely owner and designer Jolanda and Im still doing the happy dance. I really adore their products and Ive been using some fabs on this one. Firstly the beautiful frame around Tilda, its been available through the swedish scrap store Moas pyssel but I believe its currently sold out. Look at those cute adornments (I made mine in pink)  that is also included in the die pack. I have also used the beyond gorge butterfly edger. Here´s a better close up of them all:

Im telling you they sell really quickly so if you want one you should hurry up ;) lol 

I have once again inked up a Tilda using  my Copic Markers and Im loving it! It is so much fun! This adorable little Tilda was part of the summer stamp club kit that I ordered from Magnolia. The papers and the pink flower is also from Magnolia. The turquoise roses are by Prima, the rest is from WOC. The Frantage is "Aged ivory". Sentiment is once again from Little Darlings. The charm and seam binding is from Live and Love crafts. Isn't that rudder just amazing?
