To a garden lover....

Well I actually found a little bit of scrap time this weekend and made this little Birthday Card to someone who loves gardening. 

So I picked paper with flowers and a lot of pretty flowers as embellishment!  

Hope you like it....

I played along with a pretty sketch that I found at Hanna and Friends.

I have colour with my ProMarkers and Faber Castell pencils. The image is from NutCrafters.

I have stitched around each square with my sewing machine. I punched out this pretty butterfly and stuck three of them on top of each other to make it more 3-d.

I used a lot of pretty flower, bling and pearls around the image. I like the purple flower. Didn´t have a flower in the right colour so I took a white one and use Distress Stains and then some Frantage on top of it. Came out really cool a think...

My DT creation for Digi Darla

I have actually made a layout to this weeks challenge over at Digi Darla. I haven´t given myself time to make any layouts for ages and I have missed it. So from now on I have decided to try to pick it up again and make more layouts. 

This weeks challenge at Digi Darla fitted a layout great, the theme is

 Anything Goes with a twist - you have to use a digital stamp, a bow and butterflies.

And if you want to challenge yourself a bit more - twist something on your project, twist your papers, embellishments, hey, even your ribbon! Have fun and get creative! 

I decided to give myself a bit of help with this layout and used a great sketch from Veckans Skiss
 and it looked like this:

And this is what my layout looks like:

 I am so happy with it! I used some gorgeous papers from Maja Design. I "framed" the with paper with one of them. Then used a pretty pink page to back the photo. I splashed with black Glimmer mist on the white paper and used an edge scraper on everything. Everything I used are bought at my local scrap shop called Scrapbutiken.

 I used this fun digi from Digi Darla. It´s called Number 1 Ribbon and you can find it here!

 Some butterflies! Used one of my favourite Martha Stewart punches . I also used one of her other punches to do the little twigs. Some beautiful black lace.

 A black bow made with some black zig zag ribbon. I love this photo of my little B and her Piglet. He does make a great friend.

 I also draw with a black pen around the white cardstock and with a white pen around the pink paper.

I also found this fun challenge at 613 Avenue Creat. It´s called Create your own challenge. You have to pick 1-3 things from each colomn.

Give me more summer...

please, please let the summer stay for a bit longer. It was cold this morning when I went to work and the grass was wet.... it felt like autumn! I love autumn with the beautiful colours but I still want some more sun and hot days....

I made this card to try to help myself to stay in summer mood...

I used papers from Bildmålarna and Maja Design, two Swedish manufactures. I love these papers they make me remember summer days down the sea. I just found a new challenge blog called Parade Your Craft. Their theme this week is Down by the sea, perfect right?  The stamp is from Pollycrafts latest Lil Dumplings and she is called Shelby. Gorgeous, don´t you think?

 I coloured with ProMarkers and my Faber Castel pencils. The twig, button, pearls and ribbon comes from my local scrap shop - Scrapbutiken! They are soon starting up their web shop!!!!

I also used some cheese cloth and a craft tag.
