Christmad card using a die or two...

 

A Christmas card made to a dear friend of mine. I used 2 dies (standard circle from Spellbinders and a part from a Christmas tree from Sizzix) so I can join the challenge at SimonSaysStamp Wednesdaychallenge where you are supposed to use a craft die.

Stamps used from Inkadinkado, Reprint , Carabelle studios and MyStampBox.

Wishing you a lovely week!

Q&L - journey

Hello again!

Sometimes life feels tough and it is difficult to look forward in a positive way.  I found this quote on Pinterest and thought that -"yeah, why does it have to stop me"...

Life continues and we all have to keep going - we have nice days and we have bad days - just like everybody else.

This journal page is for the latest quote & lyric challenge at the craft barn were the theme this fortnight is journey / friendship.

I made the background with stencils, gesso, modeling paste, Indigo blue stamp and distress ink.The trees are very special to me - a stamp from Reprint.

The quote says " never let a stumble in the road be the end of the journey".

Wish you all a sunny november!

StampARTic challenge april "dies"

Hejsan / Hallo! This is my entry to the april challenge at StampARTic.
I have" loads of "  (some!) dies at home - a very nice collection, but nothing compared to friends of mine!
Scrapping , for me, is a kind of recycling as well. I love putting old stuff together and hopefully the end effect is the outcome I was looking for...:-)
Here, I started with an old button and added dies to the arrangement...
 I used the distressed doily die (Tim Holtz alterations), the Lovebird (Sizzix) and the layered Wings (Tim Holtz). The stamp is from the swedish company Reprint.

Hope you all like it!

the letter B

Hello again!

I've had some busy weeks and no time for ME and my basement...well, to be honest, I HAD the time but I didn't fell like crafting. My husband went to Africa and the first couple of weeks I enjoyed all my "free" time, but after 2 weeks it wasn't funny anymore. I started to miss him! This is, of course, a good sign for our marriage, but I just couldn't get my stamps out...

Yesterday we got the good news that our Lisa, made her year, and now can call herself  "éducatrice diplomee". She has been nervous and grumpy and it has not been the easiest time in life to be with her these couple of weeks. Our youngest daughter still has another 2 weeks of school until we get her results - this weekend she is off to "Rock A Field" - a big out door music event here in Luxemburg - I hope she will be okay...! Our son seems to be happy in Germany and that is nice too..!  ...one should NOT complain!

Anyway - this is my entry to the alpha challenge at the craft barn.

I choose the word "bottle" and used stamps from the swedish company Reprint and from  crafty individuals. I might seem hard - using poison bottles and writing "in vino veritas" but bottles are bottles!!!
I do enjoy my glass of red, but we have to remember, that for many people wine (and other alcohol) really can be like poison...

...and now I'm off to our yearly "promenade gourmande" -the sun is back and we expect 21-24° today - not bad at all!!!

Wish you all a lovely sunday!

a cover for Art Journal Journey

 This is my entry to Susi's Art Journal Journey.
This is the front page and the back is still not totally dry.

I used stamps from Reprint, Hero art and Paperartsy.

I call it "the whatevers" because here is where I will store my monthly pages for Nathalie Kalbach's creative storytelling called the whatevers.

Love this color combo!

Great fun on a hot and sticky day in Lux!

(my basement was nice and cool...)

STM - I had a dream.

"I have/had a dream", by ABBA.

My first thought went to Martin Luther King of course. And then because Abba came from Sweden, just like I do, I had to think of one of the most gorgeous characters in swedish children stories - Mamma Mu.

Text from Jujja& Tomas Wieslander and pictures by Sven Nordqvist.

Mamma Mu keeps dreaming of trying different things that no other cow would ever dream of;
 skating, swimming, biking, building a tree house...

Wonderful stories and I just love the happy pictures!

I used stamps from Reprint and Paperartsy.

This is my entry to Scrapping the music.

Enjoy!

HOLLY for inkurable stamps

This is my first entry to inkurable stamps. The theme is holly.I did this card last saturday on our workshop at the mosaikscrappers when Jaine showed us how to make 3D-cards.
...and if you wonder where I hid the holly - check the scrap paper where the girl puts her feet...

The stamps are all from a swedish company called reprint.
