Anonyme Scrappere: hvit på hvit

If you are here to see my BLOG HOP post for Little Darlings and Scor-pal, please click 

YAY! Time for a new challenge with us ladies over at Anonyme Scrappere today :) 

This fortnight we would like to see you create something with just one color in mind, namely WHITE 

I made my first white on white card a few weeks ago and I loved it. I have seen them around on my friends blogs and as much as I have loved their makings I´ve been a wee bit scared og trying it myself. You should though and join us! Besides there are diffrent nuances of white and for instace I have used an ivory white bow that I bought when I visited the Maggiestore and two flowers from WOC in the same nuance. 

I choose to work with a Magnolia image from the christmas collection of last year. I think this cutie is so sweet and she seems perfect for an all white card ;) Added stickles star dust to both the image, flowers and snowflakes. The snowflakes are actually made with my edge punch from Martha Stewart and is what you are supposed to throw away ;) 

Tilda is colored with distresser on 300 g watercolorpaper. The lush rose is a Prima flower and the delisious ribbon is a treasured gift from my dear friend, Dena. Thank you sweetie! I love it! 

Please check out the amazing creations by my teamies here

Thank´s for looking today!

Deep ocean challenges # 10: Fall colors

OMG, I can´t believe this!

I´m here to tell you we are kickstarting our tenth challenge over at Deep Ocean challenges today, time truly do flies by ;) 

This time we are embracing the fact fall has grabbed it´s hold on us. I have told you before fall is not by any means my favorite time of the year but I try to stay positive ;) I´m thinking of cozy things like sitting undernieth the blanket with Johan whilst the candles are burning in the background. Now that´s a thought I LOVE ;) He,he,he! 

When you look at this card, you can probably see I haven´t been usuing colors within my comfort zone either ;) I usually only do orange on the pumkins on my halloween cards. I think this Tilda is truly amazing though so I think the end result is quite satisfying anayway ;) 

She was part of last years christmas collection (Magnolia) and the reason I´m so fond of her is that lushious hair and the fact she can be used for just about any card ;) 

The patterned papers are from Prima, a 6*6 paper pad called Fairy Flora and it was released last fall. I love them but I have been afraid to cut into them because they are very colorful. ;) 

The lovely sentiment is from Whiff of joy and the fall leaves are from Prima. All flowers from WOC. The corner adornments is a gift from my friend Kylie, thank you sweetie! I love them :) 

I followed the amazing sketch over at the Pink Ink sketch challenges when creating this card, here´s what it looks like: 

Thank´s for the amazing inspiration cards sweeties! Loved working with this sketch :) 

This card is also the second of the KAOS awards I´m sending off to three crafters I admire. This one is for Maria. I will never forget her first comment in my blog and my first visit back at hers. She is so talanted and I love to see the beautiful cards and Lo´s she creates. Thank you, girlie! 

Before you go you shouldn´t miss out on looking at the gorgeous projects made by my teamies, here

Thank you so much for checking in with me today!

Magnolia Open house 2011

If you are here to see my new creation for MDUC click here

For those of you that are like me, very into Magnolia stamps ;) I have written up this post about my day yesterday. Magnolia arranged an open house with great prices and the release of the new Sweet Christmas dreams collection in focus. I´m so lucky to live in Sweden an being able to attend this great event. 

I also met lot´s of my crafting friends! I hope that wasn´t the last time..

Being there meeting all of these cuties and now as I´m writing this post up I feel like a child on christmas eve :) I can hardly believe I got to meet these awesome ladies! 

On the picture above I´m togheter with one of my teamies in Magnolia Down Under Challenges, I bet you all know about her already since she makes the most gorgeous creations for Magnolia. Her name is Camilla S and I discovered her blog very early on and I have always loved seeing what she makes and her coloring is so beautiful - top class! 

I also had the opportunity to meet another one of my fabby teamies, Janne and you can see a picture of that below

Janne also makes the most beautiful creations! She is a new addition to the MDUC dt group and what an excellent choice that was. Make sure you check out her blog becuase it´s filled to the top with awesome things! As if that wasn´t enough they had brought some more Norweigan candy to the candystore ;) This talanted lady´s name is Auhild and I´m so happy to have met her (although I have to tell you and yes I´m ashamed ;)) I didn´t realize it was her until I was in my car on my way home...:o OMG! Norweigan and swedish are quite the same and let me tell you when they talked to each other I felt like an alien ;) He,he,he! So...I´m happy to say I hugged her but I should have given her some proper congrats becuase she is the TOMIC guest this week! I´ll say them here instead Auhild! You make the most awesome creations, girl! 

I also got to meet these stunning friends; Hanne who has the blog Papirdilla! YAY! I´m a huge fan of her work, so I jumped right on and hugged her to ;) He,he,he! She is one of the greatest masters of the shabby chic style and her Maggie cards are to die for!
Lillemor, whom is also a part of the Magnolia dt and I was absolutely blown away to see her amazing creations live - my God, I knew they were beautiful but phew, they´re truly gorgeoues! She had used a material that is new to me, wellum, and I have to buy it - looked absolutely smashing!

Here she is togheter with another very talanted crafter, Sassa, whom is a dt for hÄnglar & stÄnglar amongst others ;) I have known about her before but I have never met her. She was such a darling too! I hope to see her again. She sat with Camilla S in her coloring workshop and let me tell you - she colors in the most awesome way!

Camilla H was also there and she showed how she makes her shaker cards and in front of her was some utterly beautiful creations, I´m so happy I got to see some of them IRL :) Stunning beyond words! And let me tell you - she´s such a sweetheart taking our pictures I ended up having none of her...*sob, sob* I can´t believe I missed out...I will have to ask her if I can get one from her own when she posts about this day later on ;)

I also missed meeting me other MDUC friends! I hope we get to meet someday: I KNOW we would have loads of fun!

Thank´s for checking in with me today!

MDUC # 117: Halloween

YAY! Time for a new challenge at MDUC tonight! 

We want to see you create something with Halloween in mind this time. 

I made this bag for my daughter Signe. We don´t really celebrate Halloween that much here in Sweden but as you know kids do just about anything for candy so she wants to go trick or treating. ;) I´m going to pick her friend up and then we will all head out. The girls are going to be the cutest witches ever ;) 

Please head on over to the challenge blog to look at the amazingly beautiful creations made by my teamies, inspiration guaranteed!

I also want to join two other Magnolia challenges with this bag, both of them also have a halloween theme. 

One of them is Tomic (the official Magnolia Inspiration challenge) and they want us to create something other than a card so my trick or treat bag will slip in just fine ;) I really heart this challenge but I rarely have the time to join in so I´m so happy to be able this week. Have you seen the gorgeous creations they made for us? 

The other one is Magnolia-licious challenge, it´s the very first time I join them and I feel very exited. Beautiful projects there as well! 

Thank you so much for checking in with me today!

However, I don´t picture mine filled with four year olds. ;) He, he, he!
Tomorrow it´s time to celebrate Ebba´s birthday. She get´s along really well with Signe so she´s really looking forwards to it and I was overwhelmed when she asked me to make a card for Ebba. AUW! Cute, I love my little girl, she´s my biggest fan for sure ;)

Tilda is coloured in with distressers on 300 g watercolourpaper. Patterned papers from Prima (the new Romantique 6*6 paper pad) and a to me all new brand, Simple Stories (Baby steps 6*6 paper pad). The alphabet stickers are from BG and all of the flowers are from WOC. As you can see in the pic below I added loads of stickles star dust from Ranger on the image. The edger punch is from MS.

DOC #9: HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Time for a new challenge over at this lovely place

with me and the rest of the Deep ocean family.

If you wan´t to join us this fortnight, we want to see your create something keeping our BIRTHDAY theme in mind. Isn´t that a lovely and very simple challenge? Everybody can join us so head on over to the blog to see the stunning creations by the rest of the team here and then grab your birthday gear and celebrate with us.

I have made a birthday card for somebody that is very important to me. You probably all know her to, or at least your followers of her amazing blog because otherwise you would just be stupid ;) He, he, he! LOL

Her name is Jane and just so happens she is also a dt for DOC ;)

I hope this has reached her home by now otherwise the surprise is spoilt but I think she´ll like it anyways. So Tilda and Tilda is cheering her on. I maked them togheter and it was hard to know which one I wanted in front of the other because they are eqaully lush don´t you think? As it turns out it came down to the balloon ;) It wouldn´t have shown if it was the other way around so not that a tough choice after all ;) They are both coloured with my di´s (Boy, I love em! Have you seen the new limited edition with fall colours?? Have to have them! ;)) on 300 g watercolourpaper.

The patterned papers are from a new Prima line called Pixie Glen and for a change we were´nt the last to have them in stock here in Sweden. ;) They arrived shortly after CHA in USA! Great me thinks! They are sooo my new fav paper pad.

The flowers are all WOC and I have added loads of stickles star dust to the images and a little here an there too ;) The banner is made from my spellbinder dies. Sentiment and ribbon is bought at the Magnolia store in Borås and the same goes for that pretty little bow. Alphabets stickers from Making memories. Corner adornments from Melissa Frances.

I have followed the new AWESOME sketch over at Sketch saturday (waving like crazy to the stunning ladies of the design team, had such a blast guesting them this summer ;))

Here´s what it looks like:

pretty lush ha?

Day three of Little Darlings sneak peeks: Throwing leaves

Welcome to day three of the Love to stamp sneak peek´s on the new Little Darlings Halloween / fall release. They will be available in the store on wednesday :) I bet you can´t wait! ;)

My card for today features a cute little girly that really knows how to best enjoy fall. I remember doing this myself as a kiddo! Anyone else?

I have used dp´s from Basic Grey, a paper pas called "Indian summer" that was released about two years ago. She is inked with Copics and the stars are made from grungboard by TH. Firstly I covered them in Distress crackle paint tea dye and the splinked them with three diffrent glitters from Martha Stewart´s holiday pack. All edges has been sewn. The big lush and very autumny flower is from Prima and the rest comes from WOC. The same goes for the seam binding. Lace is from a swedish scrapstore: Lektyg och hantverk.

I´ll be back with more lovely Little Darlings stamps on wednesday when a brand new challenge goes live. You should join in the current one, we are looking for a guest designer! So grab your chance :)

MDUC #115: Fancy Folds and KAOS award

Time for another great challenge with us at Magnolia Down Under challenges and this week we would love to see you create something using a FANCY FOLD.

I made a princess twisted easel card. This ballerina Tilda is my absolute fav Magnolia stamp - all time!

I know I always say you shouldn´t miss out on the wonderful creations made by my lovely teamies and this time is no diffrent: the girls has outdone themselfves again! Take a look here. You are in for some serious inspiration :)

A while ago (I´m ashamed to say it´s been weeks now...:( ) I recieved a lovely card in my mailbox and it´s from my very talanted friend, also named Louise. It was not only amazingly crafted it was also a KAOS award. (KAOS= Kreativa Artister med Otrolig Skaparglädje) I´m pretty sure this is an award that doesn´t exist internationally - YET ;) I happen to know I was lucky enough to recieve another one this week and when I´ll be sending those out I will send it to some peeps I adore abroad. Be patience, I won´t be ready with them all until next year with the pace I´m having ;) So in english I think they would be called something like CAIC = Creative Artists with an Incredible joy for Crafting. Now please check out Louise´s lovely card:

Made by Louise Uddenbjörk

Now I need to tell you some more about the KAOS award. If you´re lucky enough to recieve one you are to send it onto three crafters that inspires and impresses you. The creation you pass on are supposed to reflect your own personal style and it is originally supposed to be 10*15 cm but I hardly EVER do those so I couldn´t do that AND create a card that reflects me ;) So I´ll be making three totally diffrent creations. You are also supposed to blog them all in the same post but ´knowing how busy I am right now I will do them one by one or I will never get to it ;) So I´m combining a challenge dt card with a kaos award - the best of two worlds ;)

You are also supposed to write a little bit of why you want to send your KAOS award to that specific person. My first one I made to a lady I admire a lot! I have been visiting Kamilla ´s blog on a regular basis ever since I started out with cardmaking in 2009. She has an amazing personal style and I feel there is really nothing she couldn´t create. She loves to try out new things and she often creates awesome designs that loads of people seems to love and then ask her to make a tutorial on ;) So I have followed them on numerous occasions.

Kamilla, please send me your home adress to my email: louise.fraenell@hotmail.se and I will send you your Kaos award card in an instant. I hope you will love it as much as I do :) We have one thing in common (well, of course you can imagine we got more than one but...) and that is we both LOVE the colour PINK. I can tell you without liying I will have a hard time saying bye bye to this pink card :)

So I´m aware I´m not totally playing this by the rules but I hope I´m excused?? ;)

I also want to enter these challenges:

Addicted to stamps - stitching

Anything goes - anything goes

Thank you so much for looking today :)

If you made it all the way here I´m grateful ;)

Little Darlings: A snappy dresser sneak peek

Hi everybody!

I´m so proud and happy to showcase this little adorable guy from the Love to stamp ´s own brand Little Darlings, he´s name is Snappy dresser. Isn´t that just the perfect name? I think he´s so cute and I knew I wanted to create something featuring this little guy right away.

This is another trick or treat bag suitable for a candy gift on Halloween.

Snappy dresser is inked with Copics.

Papers are from a paper pad by Basic Grey that was released two years ago. The fence is a Magnolia Doo Hickey die. Alphabeth stickers from MME and the window in the bag is cut out using nestibilities circles die from Spellbinders. I made a frame with the nestibilities scalloped circles die too.

It´s been a while since my last posting now. It´s a wee bit funny because all of my dt work is concentrated around the middle weeks of the month. Well, in september that has been a good thing because I have been able to focus on my studies. It´s still a bit challenging planning around to be able to do everything but I feel I´m getting there ;)

How are you?

If anyone has missed me I can tell you I´ll be back already tonight with my posting for Magnolia Down Under. Hope to see you then!

Thank´s for looking!

Hugs xXx
