Ahoy Tilda!

I had another play with my new Magnolia stamps this morning. This time it´s Ahoy Tilda´s turn to see some ink. I think she is really cute! And well, what do you know? Can you see any pink on this creation?? :o I don´t think so! I went totally outside my comfort zone on this one and I´m not totally happy about the end result but I think that can happen when you take "risks" like these ;) God knows, I felt like adding some pink somewhere on there! ;)

For that nautical feeling I chose to work with some dp´s from Maja Design that came out last summer. The big beautiful white flowers is a gift from my amazing friend, Jane. Thank you hunni! While on the gift subject the lush nautical blue ribbon is a gift from another cute friend, Alberto. Thank you Alby, lurv it!

The anker charm was purchased at the Maggie store in Borås as is the lovely lace. As promised yesterday I decided to use cheesecloth on this card as well ;) The blue roses are all WOC. Tilda is inked with di´s as usual.

I´d like to enter my card in the current sketch challenge over at one of my fav blogs, CLP challenges. The sketch for May is amazing and looks like this:

Have to go now, I have been adviced by my doctor to take some slow and short walks during these last few weeks that is left of my pregnancy. I was asked yesterday how long that is and as if today I have ten weeks left! OMG, I can´t wait to hold that little baby in my arms. Okay, I´m off!

Big hugs

Thank you so much for visiting me!

Whimsical Tilda

Welcome everybody!

I want to start todays posting with a HUGE thank you from the bottom of my heart to everybody that still comes in here to take a lookie look everynow and then. :) Of course a special thanks goes to my wonderful friends that still bears with me and leaves some love before you head off. It really does mean the world to me, I´m so grateful you haven´t forgotten all about me while I have been dealing with renovations and preparations due to the new little baby.

I think I´m finally getting a hold of things again and might I say I´m so happy that I´m visiting you lovelies on a more regular schedule too ;) To look at your stunning creations is what has made me finally not give up on my crafting.

Well, enough of me rambling on..and on to todays card. I have inked up another one of the Tildas from Magnolias collection "Summer memories". Dear God, I have been selling a lot of my old Magnolias because I simply can´t store them and then I have simply fell in love with so many of the once from the recent collections I bought so many I can´t even see that I have sold some ;) He,he,he!

She is inked with di´s as usual on 300 g watercolorpaper. She has been given a splash of Stickles Star dust on various places and of course some cute little earrings. ;) The papers are from an old Pion design collection called "Minnenas Ateljé". Love those! It´s not often I dress miss Tilda up in lilacs but I had to try it this time. And those of you whom knows me well can see I also had to add my fav color which is piiiiinnnnkkk! For the first time ever I have finally gotten around to try some of that cheese cloth thingy all of you are already using and I fell hard in love. Prepare to get tired of seeing that here ;) All flowers are WOC and the alphabeth stickers are both Basic Grey and Making memories (Making memories is in the frame) Frame from Melissa Frances and the lovely bow and lace both comes from the Maggie store in Borås. Pearls are bought at my local scrap store.

I´d like to join the following lovely challenges with my card:

Magnolia stamp lovers: where one of my sweet former teamies, Lim (on DOC) asks us to ink a Tilda or Edwin with flowers in the hands.

Just Magnolia: Anything goes with the options of pearls and swearls.

Midweek Magnolias: Add flowers to your creation

So what do you think? Isn´t she adorable?

Thank´s for taking the time to check up on me!

See you at your blogs! Hugs xXx

MDUC More than one fold: Card for my mother on Mothers Day ♥

Today it´s time for another challenge over at MDUC :) Yay!

This time we would have loved to see you create something that includes MORE THAN ONE FOLD. So basicly something other that just the "usual" 6*6 inch cards. I´m looking to get inspired by a lot of diffrent folds this upcoming week especially since I feel a bit stuck. I usually end up choosing a easel, twisted easel, criss cross or just the plain ones. ;)

For instance for this one I made a twisted easelcard ;)

I used one of the new images from the just now released stamp collection from Magnolia called "Summer Memories". I think she is so cool walking along looking like a real lady in those platform shoes! And the dog is so cute tagging along with that swag going on ;)

The papers are from a paper pad called Lost and found - Marker street from My minds eye that I found on sale!! at a scrapfair I visited late march outside of Helsingborg.

Once again I have used a PATP set from Martha Stewart for the edges. All flowers are from WOC. The corner die is from QK. All sentiments are also from Magnolia. The circular one I stamped on the bottom part says: The worlds best mummy. Thought that would suit very well since this ended up being this years Mothers day card from me. The stamp in the backround "Boutique" is also from Magnolia. All edges has been sewn as usual and I have added lot´s of pearls from Panduro Hobby. The ribbon is bought at the Magnolia store in Borås. All images is coloured with di´s on 300 g watercolorpaper. If I missed anything please don´t hesitate to send me an email and I will get back to you as soon as I can.

Before I go I want to encourage you not to miss out on joining in this week! Head on over to the MDUC challenge blog to take a look at the marvelleous creations my teamies made this week :)

I also want to join in on some other challenges with this card, here they are:

The sketchy challenges want´s us to create something using their amazing sketch:

Sketchy colors want´s us to create using the colors mint, pink and white. It also says you can add another color of your choice but it may not be dominant. I´ll let them decide if they think I used to much brown on mine ;) Close call I think myself ;)

Before I head off to bed I just have to share this picture of my very soon to be five year old daghter - she looks so cool doesn´t she? A bit like Tilda on the town ha? ;)

Thank you so much for looking!

Hugs xXx

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

MDUC: Anything but a card

Today it´s time for another smashing challenge with us ladies over at Magnolia down under and I´m very exited to tell you all about it. This week we would love to see you create anything but a card! So in other words we are looking forward to some awesome alterations :) Our very own, very cute teamie, Karen, has kindly decided to donate this weeks price and it is:

Beanstalk Tilda! Oh, how I wish I could join in ;) I don´t have her but boy, I´d love too! ;) Thanks Karen!

I´m of course loving a great card challenge but sometimes I get a wee bit stuck and these challenges always help me think a bit outside the box again :) It is so much fun to make something other too! One of my friends is expecting a little babygirl very soon and I decided to alter this giftbag for her. She has no name yet so I guess that´s the last thing I´ll add to it. Look at this little cutie! Isn´t she simply gorgeous? I´m sooooo into the Magnolia stamps and with this latest "Prince and Princesses" collection I personally think Pauline outdid her self - again! ;) Baby Tilda is inked with di´s on 300 g watercolourpaper. The patterned papers are from a new paper pad (well, at least to me ;)) from Bo bunny called Country Garden Collection.

All the edges has got a taste of the wonderful di Picket fence paint. Added some lace from the Magnolia store in Borås, some lovely ribbon that was a gift from my cute friend, Jane. All the flowers are from WOC and the alphabeth stickers are MME.

I hope you will get the chance to join us, we are so inspired by your creations every single week :) And hey! Do not forget to head on over to the MDUC blog to see the amazing creations my teamies made :)

Thank you so much for looking!

Have a great day! Hugs xXx

Tomic: criss cross cards

Well, well...what do you know ;) It is not time for a new challenge over at MDUC today and I´m posting a new card! :) YAY! When I noticed this weeks theme over with the gorgeous ladies at TOMIC I just felt I had to join in :) They want to see us create a criss cross card featuring a stamp from the "Princess and Princesses collection". In case you have never tried making this fold the ubertalanted Silvie has created a wonderful and very easy to follow tutorial that the girls are linking to on the TOMIC blog. Head on over there, the dt ladies has oudone them selfes - again! ;)

I made my card for Jane´s  lovely little daughter Kara. The dp´s are all from Magnolia. The big lush lightyellow rose comes from Prima and the rest are all WOC. I actually recieved a birthday gift from Jane this week and inside was amongst other things this amazing ribbon. Thank´s hunni!

The alphabeth stickers are MME. The sentiment is from a lovely set designed by my swedish craftbuddy Linda, aka Pieces by pieces. Loads of great sentiments in that set, let me tell you! The set can be found in the swedish scrapstore Hildas rum from time to time. The set contains both english and some swedish texts.

Tilda is as usual inked with di´s on 300 g watercolorpaper. I´m hoping little Kara will treasure this card.

Tilda is so cute with those big bows in that lushious straight hair :)

Thank you so much for checking in with me today!

MDUC #141: Gorgeous sketch by Kylie

Hi everybody!

Welcome to our new challenge at Magnolia Down Under challenges :) We have an amazing sketch for you to play with this week, made by our fanatastic teamie Kylie. I must say I do love a great sketch and this one was exceptional. Very easy to work with and leaves a lot to your own imagination. Here it is:

I decided to make a just because card. I like to have some of those in my stash, you never know when you might need one. ;) I used one of the new stamps from the Prince and Princesses collection. I have inked her with di´s on 300 g watercolourpaper. Matched her with some of the gorgeous shabby papers from Pion :)

I wasn´t sure I´d make this challenge in time...my life feels really hectic again. Even though it´s easter I have not had any time off until yesterday. I can´t even begin to tell you how good it feels to finally be able to do what ever I want ;) and of course catch my breath a little. I have had a terrible cough for about three weeks now and I have some trouble breathing properly. My MIL has been here for a week long visit too and this morning I had no finished card! :o Help! But I managed to tag along this week as well. I hope you like it :)

Thank you so much for visiting me this week :)

MDUC: Lets play BINGO!

Hi everybody!

Yay, I´m really exited about this weeks challenge over at Magnolia Down Under challenges and I can´t wait to tell you all about it! We would like you all to join in a little game of tempting BINGO! 

I chose to work with the lace, flowers and buttons one. I have had these wooden letters that I bought for Signe what feels like forever ago ;) Since we are renovating our house in order to do add another room for our second little princess arriving in july I thought it would be great to fix them up now that Signes room is finished. The only thing left is for us to chose which colours she´d like on her walls. So here they are!

I tell you the weather in Sweden is a bit strange at the moment, either the sun is beaming from a clear blue sky and I´m certain spring has arrived or the fog is so tight I can´t see three metres in front of me ;) So a bit hard to photograph them in a satfisfiying way. But this is as good as it gets :)

I altered the letters with papers from Magnolia and Signe got to chose which Tildas she wanted added to them. You can tell this little four and a half year old is a wee bit into princesses ha? ;)

Just for the sake of it she did pick one pirate Tilda too! :) Auw, she is such a darling.

After altering them all I just added some decorations I thought was suitable, luckily Signe agreed ;) Some ribbon, lace, flowers, MIC chippies, buttons, and TH metal embellies found it´s way on to there. 

Now we can hardly wait to see the beautiful creations you will upload for us this week :) 

Head on over to the challenge blog and take a look at what my teamies have created, they have once again outdone themselves. So many gorgeous creations!  

Thank´s for looking!

Hugs
