High Hopes No. 52

Omg!!!! Two posts in one day. Well, in between looking after my daughter, cooking, cleaning, washing, being a nurse maid, psychologist, home-work helper etc etc I manage to send 5 min here and there on my favorite hobby and eventually projects get finished.

This weeks challenge at High Hopes is a super sketch which was a delight to follow and I used this delightful dragon which I coloured with water-colours. It's for my daughter's little friend who is 4 soon.

Anyone for Anya

My niece has just past her final apprentice exams after 3 years of being taught the ropes as a hairdresser and beautician. And she passed with flying colours. I am so proud of her - too bad she lives in Denmark otherwise I could do with a little beautification lol.
I am sending her this sweet card which I made for the Anyone for Anya recipe challenge:- 3 papers, 2 buttons, 1 bow. My favorite colours are citrus colours as they remind me of hot summer days. Hope you like it.

Stamp: The Greeting Farm "Annika"

Papers: still can;t remember hehe

Buttons and ribbon from a local market

Mo's Challenge No. 5

Don't you just love Mo's images!! First time I saw one I thought "omg - must-have" and I did get. Not only is Mo a brilliant illustrator, she's also a kind and caring person. She gives freebies and is very involved in her online fan-club. If you have not visited her shop yet you better go to Mo's Shop right away. You may also like to join her fan-club over at PaperCraftPlanet to be inspired and have fun.

And it was only a matter of time before Mo had hear own challenge blog which this week would like to see 3 different glitter elements.


The image I have chosen is the funny "I dunno" featuring Bella and Bronte. I am sure most mums have seen that expression. I have coloured the image using water-colours. My 3 glitter elements (although difficult to spot) are the Designer Paper, glitter glue on the green tutu and a green green in the Prima flower. The sentiment "wat birfday kake" is handmade. Hope you like it.

Thank you for popping by and have a crafty day, Mette

Some ATCs

Been a few days since I last posted but I have not been lazy. Still got several little projects on my workdesk which needs to be finished off but thought I would just put a few images up. My list of "TO DO's is getting longer but my list of "DONE" isn't hehe.
I have been doing a few ATCs for a few challenges that I haven't done before so without further ado

This 1 is for Wednesday Stamper where the theme is "Asia". I think most of us like that theme. It reminds me of tranquility.

The stamp I used was free with a UK Stamp magazine. The colours are red, black and gold (doesn't show).

This ATC is for a scandinavian challenge Art Pieces. This week's challenge is "Hats". Not something I wear but this young lady is looking to buy 1.The backgroup paper I made myself using baby wipes and inks. The Stamp is a big Mona Lisa I got of ebay.

The last ATC is for 3 Muses. Their theme is What a Peachy Pair. I have a feeling the gentleman is thinking of the lady in the background.

Well, that's it for the moment but will be back soon with some more to show.

Thank you for dropping by and hope you have a lovely day, Mette

Quixotic No. 1 "Birthday"

There is a new challenge blog in Bloggerland. Elaine at Quixotic and her super DT have started a challenge blog and as it was Elaine's birthday on the 4th November the first theme was .................... you guessed it "Birthday".

My "dad" is 60 at the end of November and I wanted to make him a special card. He loves Country Music, Line dancing, playing the guitar and he and my mum visit Nashville when they can. I thought it would be super to join the first ever challenge with a card for my "dad".

This handsome cowboy doesn't look anything like my dad but he was the only image I had which fitted a little. He is from The Greeting Farm and I have coloured him with Prisma Pencils. The papers are from K & Co. and I made some myself too.

This is the inside of the card. For those of you who don't read danish it simply says:-

Grandad - happy 60th birthday.

I hope you like him. I had a great time making the card. Just wish I had a guitar to add.

Thank you for stopping by and hope you have a crafty day, Mette

Spread the love for Jaimie

I love to visit all the wonderful blogs out there in Bloggerland and I usually have a good laugh and share everyones creations and talent. But sometimes you come across a story which touches your heart and you simply cannot turn away.

And there is no way I could turn away from the terrible story of Jaimie Cates who lost her mother in a horrific, senseless act on October 4th. For more information please visit Katharina's blog. All the details are there including the Blog Hop Candy although I am certain everyone would join in even without the candy.

The address for sending your card is here


This is the card I made for Jaimie. I am not sure whether it's the best as I don't often make cards like this. Besides, I read that Jaimie is a little tomboy who loves skateboarding, biking etc. She even has a black belt in karate. She will need the angels to watch over her now and I will be sending her all my prayers .

Stamp: Diane Duda charity

Papers: found in stash box

Gems: Bunny Zoe's

Heart charm: A lovely RAK from Elaine Hughes

Hope you all have a crafty day and thank you for popping by, Mette

Tilda and frinds

OK!!! In between sneezes, coughs, hot lemon/honey teas, fever and still looking after 3 kids - yup, even helped out at my daughter's playgroup - washing, cleaning, cooking etc etc and I even managed to make 1 ATC!!! Man-flu???? Not in my house hehe.

This one is for the last ever Tilda and friend challenge "Autumn colours". It's a sad day but I do understand their reasoning for stopping. I have as usually coloured my image using water-colours (need to go back to prisma colours again).

Stamp: Bildmalarna Sitting Mimosa - The sentiment is from last year's Magnolia Fall Kit.

Flower: Woodware

DP: you know by now - my memory is failing :P

I will go to bed and nurse my flu. Was up all night cos someone was using sandpaper in my throat and I found it difficult to sleep. Tomorrow I am going to make a special card for a young lady in the US for whom my prayers go out to tonight.

Take care and stay safe, Mette
