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 

My top 10 of 2012! Happy new year!

Good morning friends and followers! 

Today is New Years Eve and to tell you the truth I can hardly believe it!! Where has the year gone off too?? My word! 

This has been the most amazing year of my life where I finally after many years of trials and obstacles gave birth to my second child. Little Ella came to us and completed our little family in the most splendid way. She is our little sunshine! And our oldest daughter has made me proud so many times this year as well. She has handled the getting a big sister business very well! I must admit I was worried during my pregnancy that she would backlash and have a major breakdown and or be kind of a badass towards Ella. Simply because she has been the only child in our family and is very spoilt. (of course) but she still amazes me with her awesome big love towards Ella and she takes care of her in the most loving of ways. Im impressed! But then again, she is my darling! ;) 

This time off year I usually list what I feel are my top 10 cards and so I will this year as well. Why break a perfectly good tradition? ;) If you want to take a look at my previous listings look  here (2011) and here (2010). 

I think its hugely fun to look at those and see the progree Ive actually made during the years ;) 

The cards of 2012 is not listed in any particular order, although I must confess I like number 1 the best! 

Because off the unexpected way this turned out. I usually have a finished project in my mind before I start off but this one turned out way different. As you can see I wanted to practice making red cards that I hated to do in the past and then I went crazy and added lots of soft pink and I loved them together. They marry well I think ;) 

I jut love the image! My very first Saturated Canary rubber-stamp and it was love at first sight! Besides that I surprised my self with coloring her lush hair red. Cool! 

A christmas card that I truly enjoyed making! The challenge was for MDUC and it was to be song inspired and as you might see I chose "Hark the herald angels sing". My teamie Camilla Stöen Bakke (that I admire a lot)  had made a fabby tutorial on how to make pop up cards the week before and I couldnt wait to try one. 

The inside of the pop up card

I have a special bond to anything australian because I have so many amazing friends there via my dt position at MDUC and this image is so close to my heart because of that :) 

Im loving the pastel colors! 

My last christmas card of 2012 and is on my top 10 because I colored with red and ended up loving it ;) 

I love this stamp from Wee stamps and this card means a lot cause it represents my own " comeback" in my mind. As I got pregnant I was feeling very sick and decided to quit making cards and creating. I actually started selling some of my stash and then as months past and I still had my dt position at MDUC (cause I wouldnt ever want to leave them!! :)) I started to feel it was fun again. Today Im very thankful I didnt end up quitting ;) 

I made this card for a coworker of mine as i was going on maternity leave as a thank you for the three good years we had together with the amazing class of students we taught. Linda is very special to me so thats why the card is I think. Besides that Im loving the color combination. The blue and yellow are also the colors of the swedish flag and to transfer that into a card was a lot of fun :) 

Talking about special people, my mum (of course) is another one of those. This is the birthday card I created for her this year. Im so into that image Elisabeth Bell has designed for Whiff of joy. She´s angelic! A shaker card needed to find its way to my list too ;) 

The last one is also for my mum...;) She must be good! ;) 

This is an easel card I created for her on mothers day :) 

I ADORE that stamp and she felt like a perfect fit with that store window also from Magnolia. 

Thank you so much for wanting to see my top 10 2012. 

I cant wait to see yours, have you made one yet? 

Lots of love, Louise 

PS: I will be back tomorrow with two post. One for Live and Love Crafts and the other one for Deep Ocean challenges, hope to see you then ;) 

Top 10...eh...top 15 2011

Hi everybody! 

First of all I want to THANK ALL OF YOU that are still visiting me although I haven´t updated with something new in quite some time now. In my last post I wrote about me talking a break. And let me tell you I´m still not ready for my comeback yet but at least I can let you guys know what´s keeping me away ;) 

Me and hubby are expecting a baby during summer 2012! We are of course very happy! 

Unfourtunately I feel very tired and ill but I´m hoping I will feel a lot better soon.

This means I have resigned from two of my dt positions, both Little Darlings and Anonyme Scrappere. I´m on a break from Deep Ocean and MDUC. Hopefully they will let me back on when I´m ready ;) 

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR VISITING and leaving so many nice and encouraging words for me 

Big hugs, Louise

xXx

My top 10 cards 2010

I listed my top 10 cards last year on my first crafting blog and I like the thought behind that and wanted to do it again this year. I got an invite via Facebook to upload my link to Suzi`s blog between 28-29 dec. I know a lot of other crafters I admire will do the same. After everyone has linked we can have a blog hop and enjoy lot´s of talant and beautiful cards! Why don´t you do the same!?

Well...I´m aware this isn´t a card..:o I hope you don´t mind me posting this deep edge canvas frame too though. I looove this pic of my daughter and made this for my parents. Love how I ended up arraging the gorgoeus flowers :)

Made this card for my friends wedding in august. It was a beautiful day and my friend married her prince ♥

There aint nothing quite like true love ;)

I made this handbag for my first dt moms, Millan and Marie as a thank you for everything. I think this is one of my absolute fav Tildas. She´s so cute :)

I made this card directly after coming home from Borås and Magnolias grand reopening in october. Remembering I was pretty alone with this cutie - for a day or two. Great feeling ;) I won top 3 at Sketchy colors with this card.

One of my first cards as a dt at Whiff of joy challenges. I used a lot of favourite things on this card. In my mind this patterned paper is the queen of all. Comes from Prima, of course. The collection is called Fairy flora. I chose my favourite stamp too, Musing Melinda. She´s such a stunner!

I made this giftset for my father on his 60:th birthday. An altered album and matching card. The stamp comes from Magnolia. Patterned papers from Tim Holtz. Love those - too ;)

I choose this card because it´s my very fist Halloween card and the colorcombo is so not like me. Dispate that I like the way it turned out in the end :)

I seem to have done a lot of thing for my father this year ;) He got this altered paper bag as a gift on Fathers day. After all, he is the greatest dad ♥ The stamped image is called "Henri hugging heart" also from Whiff of joy :)

Little flying Tilda is a real cutie and a lot of fun inking! She suits perfect in to this nestie. My first joy fold card. This Tilda is so veristale, you can use her for almost any occasion :) Good buy ;)

Last but not least! Made this just a few days ago! I was so tired of making chrissy cards and wanted to do a spring card. It´s a favourite because it´s my very first card with a LOTV image. 

Well, I´d be thrilled if you left a comment before hopping on to the next awesome scrapgirl :) I´m soo looking forward to checking out some top 10´s now :)

Thank´s for taking the time to look ♥
