I am back....

I am finally back on track after being really sick for a while.
I got the flu and in just 4 days it went into a double sided pneumonia that sent me to the hospital.

They had to give me a strong dose of penicillin straight into the blood, and after that I have been really low, and forced to be in bed for a long time.

Finally I am starting to feel better, but I am still eating penicillin.

I am still struggeling, but there are always someone else that feels worse, so I try to stay optimistic. 

In this period we lost our orange cat, Simba, and its really empty without him.

He was my guardian angel and always let my husband know when I was getting ill....so he was really special to us.

After this we got a new family member, the cute little dog Flisan.

Her previous owner was going to move back to Norway, so we were asked if we would like to have her.

Of course we said yes, and up til now my hubby has been taking care of her...but now I have started to take her out more when my strength has returned,

She is 3 years old and a real doll, and the cats love her. =)

Well, this is my update for now.
Hope to see you all soon.

Guest-DT for Pysseldags - Old love never dies...

Hi there,

Hope you´ve had a great crafty week, wherever you are.

I have had a week with a nasty cold, pain in my knee efter a bad fall last saturday night, and, like if this wasnt enough; toothache.

But I can manage this, I comfort myself with that it could have been a lot worse. =)

Even this week I have made a card in a Love-theme....

I have used the sentiment GAMMAL KÄRLEK ROSTAR ALDRIG (translated: Old love never dies) that you can get both as

DIGITAL and as RUBBERSTAMP.

I have also used the stamp

HJÄRTAN PÅ RAD. (translated "Hearts on a row")

Even that one is avaliable both as  DIGITAL och som RUBBERSTAMP

In other words, just to pick and choose. =)

The backing paper is (of course) my favorite oaper from IMAGINE THAT! 

As decorations this time, I have used a red cherryblosssom, some white flowers and red Rhinestones.

Now, have a great week, and remember, I LOVE your comments.

From those of you that leaves a comment this time, I will pick 1 person that will get a crafty gift, so dont forget to leave your email address so I can contact the lucky winner. =)

Creative Knockouts - A Hug Card

Hi my friends,

I have made another card for

And even this time its a card with the stunning image from the sponsor

I have made a simple, but yet sweet Birthday-card for you as my first project for Creative Knockouts.

I colored the flowers with my promarkers, in blue colors.

Then I used my White Wink of Stella-pen to create some effects.

After a while I realized that the white pen maybe now was the smartest choice, but then I colored the edges of the flowers with some more blue, and I got really surprised with how beautiful the result got.

I will really use this combo in other projects. 

When the colors had dried a bit I painted the flowers with the clear glitter Wink of Stella-pen, but just as the last card its hard to get a glitter to show up good in the picture.

I PROMISE that its even more pretty when you see it live.

As I final touch I added some white and green flowers and some blue rhinestones.

At the moment I wonder if this is too much to be concidered as a CAS-card, so I really need your oppinion here.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges

Crafty Gals Corner - AG

Well....now I look forward to see what you think of my card.

Creative Knockouts #77 - A Birthday card

Hi my friends,

I have some news for you....I am now a

I am so very happy for this opportunity, and I hope that you will like my cards that I will show you from now on.

This weeks sponsor is 

I have made a simple, but yet sweet Birthday-card for you as my first project for Creative Knockouts.

I colored the bird and flowers with my promarkers, and then I used my 2 Wink of Stella-pens to create some effects.

Its just too bad that its hard to get pictires that give the card justice, I can assure you that the card is even more blingy when you see it live.

I felt that there was something missing, so I took a sponge and made a blue background.

As I final touch I added some red rhinestones.

Well....now I look forward to see what you think of my card.

It was really fun and a incredibly happy bunch , so I could not have had a better birthday .

Oh well, time for this week's short ... a birthday card

The beautyful sentiment stamp is a  DIGITAL stamp and its really one of my favourit ones.

This time I dont have a backing paper, I have used some white cardstock that I have inked the edges in a light yellow color.

I have gone on a rather simple style with the decorations, some white flowers and white pearls from my stash.

Hope you liked my card, and see you all soon.

Guest-DT for Pysseldags - The best we got

Hello again,

Then its Sunday again, and time for me to do another blog-post as Guest-DT for the Swedish shop Pysseldags.

I must admit that I sat down for quite a while and thought of what kind of card I was going to make....it really wasn't easy this time.

The theme I knew, but then what?

It ended up that I printed out some digistamps and digipapers, then I sat down and moved everything back and forth for about one hour.

Then it said BOOM and I knew exactly how I would do.

At once  the choice of stamp and paper became so obvious and then it went so easy.

And the card then?

Well, this is the result ...

The sentiment-stamp is really beautiful and you can get it both as a 

RUBBERSTAMP and as a DIGITAL STAMP

The backing paper comes from IMAGINE THAT DIGIS BY KRIS.

Why dont you pay her shop a visit and see all the lovely papers she makes.

The decorations comes from my stash... and the pink rose that I think fit so nicely had one of my four cats found and put on my craft table, right where I sit.

It was, in other words the ment to be on my card. * big smile*

I want to enter this card in the following challenges

Card for a baby girl

Oooooh yes, even day 6 of my UFO cards became a Baby card.

Not sure what I think of the result here....either I decide that its okay and keeps it in my stash, or I decide that its not okay and throw it in the garbage.

So...I am gonna let you help me decide....

Is it a KEEP or is it a TOSS?
