To Tilda!

I am not going to be late for Just Magnolia this week, so here is my card!! The challenge is masking, as you can see I masked Tilda and stamped the Magnolia tree, which I gold embossed! The gift is on 3D cushions! Just as simple as that!! Hope you are having a great weekend!

A beary Merry Christmas!

I found this way to fold the card on a Swedish blog, thought that looked fun! So here is a card for Penny Black Saturday (I know the last minute, again) challenge, Christmas for the guys and A spoon full of Sugar, Baby/preschooler's first Christmas! Maybe not so much baby card but I thought I send this one to a 7 months boy who might be able to laugh at the bear, or?? And here is the inside and the close up of this adorable stamp!

Tilda in blue!

Confused, yes that´s me! I was in a hurry today, I wanted to make a card for Just Magnolia and so I did, I thought?? But I used the same sketch as previous card from Sketch Saturday. Oops! So I guess this is a card without a challenge! Never mind I am happy about it! Oh dear!! Where does time go??

Orson is back!!

Good morning all friends! Hope you like my Christmas layout! Today I will show you a card I made for my father who is turning 80 on the 26th of December! I asked Orson (Nina May's adorable monkey) to help me carry a Happy Birthday (Grattis) and a cake to him! Since my fathers birthday is around Christmas I made it in red and green with the help of sketch 77 from Sketch Saturday and at Stamping for the Weekend they wanted us to us BIG numbers, and I think 80 is BIG enough, lol! Happy Birthday Dad!!

As you can see I used Orson twice and this is how the original digi stamp looks like, with the cake! Plenty of room on the other side to tell my father all the best wishes!

DT Monday - Mimosa meets Mr Penguin!

Lalalala.. Monday!! DT day!! At STAMP WITH FUN, the challenge is to make an Advent calender or a Christmas decoration. The winner (randomly) takes home a beautiful price from Tina a Hanglar stamp! I decorated a box and inside the box I put 12 tags (double sided) with the numbers 1-24. I filled the tags with a wisdom card, so instead of chocolate my friend will receive 24 wisdoms, I wonder if she will be happy, lol??





At There's Magic In The Air, you get this beautiful and fun image Free, Penguin Skating. The challenge this week is to "Use a reflective material (e.g., metallic paper, foil, mirrors, etc) on the project". Nina's price is beautiful brads and ribbons! As you can see I used a piece of foil decorated with a stamp and glitter glue around it. I also made, for the first time, an easel card. I followed Erika's instructions, you find it HERE!.

Snow Seeds!

I hear it's snowing in Sweden and it's cold in Europe! When one lives in the tropics like myself, you have to check the calender to see which season it is. lol! 32 C and sunshine almost everyday, that is my season, I admit I am loving it!! Today I have made my first pink/baby blue Christmas card, it's kinda of cute, for a change, even if I will probably stick to the old fashion red and green in the future! I used a sketch from this week's challenge at Winter Wonderland!
