Evening all.

As promised I am back with something totally different. However, I am having a really HUGE emergency here. It has almost reached near panic ............. the reason? One of my most used promarkers have run out of juice. It's one I use all the time for skin so I might have to use other colouring methods until my replacement pen arrives. Here I was happily colouring away and BAM!!! No more :( for the time being.

Anyway, here is what I wanted to share with you .................



........... this is a card I made for CAS-ual FRIDAY and CLEAN & SIMPLE challenges. For this I have actually used my Prisma pencils for colouring as I wanted a softer feel. Again a lot of white (yup, totally not scared anymore) and I like this one :).

MATERIALS USED

Hero Arts "Hello Birdie" sparkle clear
Prisma pencils + Zest it.

I hope you all have a lovely evening and thank you for visiting. Hugs, Mette

Hearts

Yup yup yup - I am back with post number 2 of the day. Don't worry - this "more-than-one-post-a-day" mood won't last lol.

Phoebe wanted to do some stamping this week-end with all my stamps and inkpads. A right mess but we did have a lot of fun. She made a little card for a friend and I decided to make this .............



............. I am still debating whether I should have used kraft cardstock or not. I am going to enter this in the challenge at LESS IS MORE. I love those as big white spaces have always scared me and I am teaching myself to LOVE them hehe.

MATERIALS USED

Crafty Individuals CI-017
Hero Arts "Heart to heart"
Ranger "Vintage photo" ink pad
Versamgic "Red Magic"

Thank you for dropping by and have a super day. Hugs, Mette

Adorable Baby Girl

Good morning all.

And it's Saturday. Sun is too sure whether it wants to play hide and seek but doesn't really matter - Phoebe and I are gonna have a super time today. James has gone to his Saturday job so we will be baking, cleaning, playing "very strange 5 year old"-games which will involve Phoebe's school, dancing, singing etc. And I am looking through my stamp collection to find "neglected and in need of a new and loving home" stamp for ebay.

But before I get to all the fun just wanted to show this ...............



........... which I put together this morning while the idea was in my head (if I waited till later I'd have lost it hehe). Used a little sketch from CLEAN & SIMPLE CHALLENGE and combined it with ALLSORTS CHALLENGE "Clean and simple". There are a lot of expectant ladies around at the moment so I will need a few of these. Hope you enjoy.

MATERIALS USED

Hero Arts "adorable baby girl" stamp set
Scrap paper from Bo Bunny

Thank you for dropping by and enjoy your week-end. Huggles Mette
