Out with the Girls

Back with my second post today!

We are having a new fun challenge over at

Anything Goes!

The theme we have been playing with is Out with the Girls! 

And now we are super excited to see what great ideas you have for your project.

I went a bit wild and crazy and mixed girls from Magnolia, Saturated Canary and from Whiff of Joy!

I guess this is a little me...shopping with my friends, 

having a coffee and running around with our handbags, lol.

All of the ladies are coloured with Copics but I was so caught up with my colouring 

that I forgot to write down which numbers I used :(

Anyway I got to use some metal, glitters and lovely flowers too on my side-step-card.

I hope you got some inspiration to join us in our 4 weeks long challenge

at Anything Goes.

But if you didn't, just stop by the blog and soak up more wonderful inspiration from my sweet teamies.

Thank you so much for giving me a minute or two!

Take care out there and have fun crafting!

Anything Goes #71, Relax with Lavender

Good morning!

A new lovely vacation day and a new challenge at Anything Goes!

This fortnight we want you to "Relax with Lavender" and use Lavender and Lace on your project!

I have used a stamp from Elisabeth Bell, I think she's called Melinda, coloured with distress ink.

The papers are from Maja Design and Bo Bunny as you can find at Craft Den with a hole bunch of other great products!

For example Magnolias Do Hickey's Tag. The sentiments are also from Magnolia.

The corner is punched out with a Nellie Snellen die.

I used glitter on the wings and on the stamped flowers.

Come and join is in the fun and make a project for this fortnight challenge at Anything Goes!
And make sure you take a good look at my teamies stunning work!

I wish you all a wonderful week both with and without vacation!

I would like to enter following challenges:

Elphine House: Distressing or torn paper

Lets Ink It Up: #25 All Girl

Hanna & Friends #135 Center-step-card

Here we are again with a new Thursday's challenge at Hanna & Friends!

We want to see you make a Center-Step-Card!

I made my card with a image from Whiff of Joy, coloured with distress ink. Used punches from Martha Stewart and dies from Spellbinder. Ribbons, brads and a metal butterfly also decorates my card.

The small text in the corner says, Coffee!

Now it's your turn ;) Let us be amazed by your cards.
And if you need some inspiration,
take a look at Hanna & Friends blog and see the lovely cards from the team.

Have a wonderful Thursday!

Hanna & Friends #134

Good morning all!

Hanna & Friends are back with a new challenge! And we would love to see what you can come up with on the theme "Something to hang"!

I made a "bottle-hanger" with Henry Mouse from WOJ. Back in my comfort zone again and coloured him with Distress Ink ;)I don't know if you can see it, but I put gloss on the eyeglasses and on the frosty drink. I decorated the hanger with flowers, leaves and some metal bling.

The text says, Cheers!

Hope to see you on the challenge at Hanna & Friends!

No reason

Hi everyone! Hope you are all having a lovely day!

My husband and I took a trip to the woods today to walk and train our dog, Kiwa. It's a beautiful sunny day with blue skies here in Sweden, Skåne. And I'm loving every moment!

For once I have made a card with no special reason. I have always been a sucker for Elisabeth Belle's motive. But very rarely I have had the opportunity to use them. So now I took the time to make something with sweet Willow.

I have used coffee filter as my card base. A SP heart with mini beads. The papers are from Maja Designs collection "Fika". A matching cupcake charm. And of course glitter on the flowers and on Willow's bow, jeans and apron.

So keep on have a lovely day :D

And I love every comment that you leave!

I would like to enter these challenges with my card:

Whiff of Joy: #120 Charms & Bling

Belles 'n Whistles: Warm Earth Colours

A little later Christmas greeting

I would like to wish you all a continued Merry Christmas (a copule off Christmas days still remains ;))

My family and I, and some of our friends, have been away on a mini ski vacation and we've had a lovely time.

And just back in time to celebrate Christmas Eve at home with our parents.

Here are some of my "quick and easy" Christmas cards that I made.

Enjoy Christmas and your loved ones!

Christmas hugs!

Hanna & Friends #118

This week Hanna and Friends are having a new challenge with a sketch that Nicole from the team have made. I had so much fun playing with this one, so I recommend that you do the same :o)

I used a stamp from Whiff of Joy, Charlotte, and I decided to make another shaker card!

This time the color choise was green (favorite) and brown. Papers from Papirdesign and Inkido. The shaker frame are made by a Spellbinder die, and the Christmas tree bells (!?) are from a Martha Stewart punch, covered with glitter. The flowers are a Magnolia Doo Hickey die. I found a mini tag in my stash that a stamped with a "Merry Christmas" text.

Just a little something about what material I have used. Oh, almost forgot, colored the image with distress ink.

Come and play along with us this week and see the amazing work from the DT!

You're gonna love it!

Thank you so much for stopping by!

My first DT card for Hanna and Friends

Okey, it's Thursday and Hanna and Friends have a new challenge for you.

This week it's all about Glitter!

And as you know from my other posts I just love glitter.

But this time I kept it clean and simple.

I have used a Whiff of Joy stamp. I think she is just adorable.

Of course I have glittered her wings and even around the Spellbinder die too. The snowflake border is a Martha Stewart punch.

So come and play along with us at Hanna and Friends and make sure you take a look at my new team mates designs. The are gorgeous!

Take care!

Hugs Annette

WOJ Challenge

I have already worked for a whole week and soon I'm entering my second :P It's amazing how fast you are back in your routines again. I don't know if it's good or bad... ;o)

This weekend I have made a couple of cards since I was to tired last week to make any in the evenings.

One of the card I made is for the Whiff of Joy Challenge #110 Buttons & Bows

I made a twisted easelcard and decorated it with flower, bows, buttons and pearls.

Sorry to keep this post short but now it's time for me to hit the sack.

So good night and welcome back!

Hugs

Annette

Sportlovsledig

Idag har jag lyxat till det och varit ledig med mina grabbar. Jag var förvisso inte helt säker på om de vill spendera dagen med mig eller om de hade andra planer. Men det hade de inte :o)
Vi gjorde inget speciellet egentligen men att bara umgås är värdefullt nog.
Och det bästa av allt är att jag har en ledig dag till, jippie!
I helgen gjorde jag ett kort till Whiff of Joy´s challenge # 83 där utmaningen är "Paper Piercing".
Har använt mig av riktiga Annette färger ;o) trots att det inte blev så mycket grönt, snarare gul-grönt.
Magnolia swirlen är verkligen en av mina favo dies för tillfället, så himla användbar.
Mitt senaste inköp var jag bara tvungen att få med på detta kort, MS bladstans som jag placerade under texten. Love it!
Och som vanligt lite annat smått och gott, blommor, band och bling.

Nu när man är lite bonusledig ska jag så klart lägga en del tid på mer kortmakeri. Det innebär att jag kan vara upp halva natten och bara skapa ;o)

Hoppas att alla ni andra också njuter av er kommande vecka som jag kommer att göra!

Sköt om er och tack för titten!

Utmaningar

Trots att jag inte har bloggat på ett tag har jag inte varit sysslolös.
Jag har gjort en del DT-uppdrag till Stämpelgården som jag kommer att visa här så småningom. Det är jättekul att utmana sig själv med nya motiv och nya sätt att tänka.
Men jag tyckte det var hög tid att få bort julkorten från startsidan, så jag hittade en färgutmaning som jag tyckte lät spännande. Och efter lite surfande hittade jag faktiskt en tävling till som kunde passa med samma kort.

WOJ Challenge #96 Chocolate, Teal and Cream
7 Kids Challenge #13 Challenge Yourself

Jag har utmanat mig själv genom att göra ett ramkort som är nytt för mig. Lena har gjort några som jag har beundrat ett tag och nu var det dags för mig att prova på. Lite knep och knåp var det allt för att få till måtten rätt men det lyckades till slut.

Jag använde mig av Melinda från WOJ som jag målade med distresser. Papperna är från Maja Design, Martha Stewart hjärtan och blommorna från Magnolia.

Ha nu en fortsatt bra vecka!

Själv ska jag kurera mig från en envis influensa som inte vill ge med sig.
