Mojo Monday 114

Don't you just love Mojo sketches. They are such a joy to follow and I like them. This is the first Mojo sketch I have done in a long time but will be doing more especially atm to make christmas cards.

For this card I have used a sweet image by Bildmalarna - isn't she cute hugging the polar bear?

Stamp: Mimosa by Bildmalarna
Paper: a gift as is the ribbon
Colouring: Prisma pencils

Kortudfordring 5

As a danish girl stranded in the UK it's nice to be able to join in a scandinavian challenge and seeing all the great talents in my own country. Kortudfordring (Card challenge) has some fabulous DT members, forthnightly challenges and super prices. Their page is translated into english so everyone can join.

For this challenge they asked that you make your own background paper using any technique you like.

I have tried my hands at using acrylics (which I love) and for this paper I put several blobs of different colours onto the paper and loosely moved it about using a credit card then stamped onto this with a snowflake stamp I got from Crafty Individuals. I rather like it :).

Stamp: Snowflake angel by Elzybells.
The snowflakes are from a sweet lady in the states.
Colouring: Prisma pencils
Glitter glues.

Sugar Bowl No 24

Two posts in one day - swoon............and this time a card - double swoon. Well, I thought I would try my hands at the Sugar Bowl Challenge as I have just purchased this lovely image from Funkykits. Been wanting this for ages and now the poor thing is in a box with other sugar girlies hehe.
For this challenge you have to create a card following a lovely sketch by Marlene and I believe you have a chance of winning some new stamps.

Monthly ATC challenges

I have been very busy this month trying to make the ATCs for this month's groups. I do not make a lot of cards as I find I end up with space shortage and end up giving them to the local church to sell for funds. And I love swapping ATCs. It's so wonderful to see all the amazing talent that's all over the world.

This first one I wasn't really going to do. ATC swappers challenge for this month is "12 days of christmas" which meant we have to do 12 ATCs. But got a e-mail from Paul which was so nice that I hardly could refuse. So I set up a production line, gave my kids sweets, pop and a good movie, put on my glasses and created this..........

Stamp: Carol Singers by Elzybells Stamps
Colouring: water colours
Glitter glue

This ATC is for the Monthly ATC Swap. The theme for November is "Anything Goes" as long as it's cute. I love this little girl. She makes me smile :).

Stamp: Annie by Leanne Ellis (Sugar Nellie)

Sentiment: Hero Arts

DP: erm ............. dunno

Colouring: water colours

Last but not least is Addicted to ATC. Although a little late their theme is "Spooky". Alright, I know this image doesn't exactly frighten anyone but imagine IRL hordes of halloween kids all demanding sweets .......... now that is scary.

Stamp: Trick or treat by Elzybells

Paper: Paper Mill Shop

Colouring: Prisma pencils and Sansodor

Hope you all enjoyed popping by and have a super day, Mette

Thank God it's Friday No 112

Sorry I have not been blogging for a few days but things have been a little hectic hehe. Had the cast-iron wood/coal burner installed in the living room yesterday, just in time for winter. But would you believe I cannot get it going lol - getting more and more blond with old age. I'll be sitting here when it's freezing cold, clattering my "false" teeth (they are not hehe) and trying to light the silly fire.

Enough of my ramblings. I am for the first time joining TGiF - this week's challenge is Femme Fatale (I wish). But I wanted to play along anyways.

I found this beautiful lady in a fashion magazine and though she look absolute gorgeous. The pink background is me again experimenting with colours (this time Acrylics - gonna get myself some Claudine Hellmuth for xmas I hope). I love the effect these paints give. Added a flower, button, a feather and word and voila .................... a very pink femme fatale.

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

Crazy Amigos

I just thought I would do another challenge while my princess was at Playgroup. She's a little delicate atm - she tripped yesterday and hurt her little finger quite badly. Went to the doctor who said that even if it was broken there's really nothing they can do. So she's a little tearful and needing a lot of mummy love. To cheer me up I placed an order with Crafty Individuals for 2 plates :). And the postman brought my Whee with drum from Whiff of Joy.
The challenge I did was Crazy Amigos who this week want to see paints. I love painting both large and small.


The backgroup for this ATC was an experiment I did using a gold leaf pen and then added very runny water-colours. I think it looks gorgeous. Only thing I added was this lovely mother/child picture from Crafty Individuals and a sentiment. To me it seems that my mum is made up of an array of beautiful colours and no matter which colour she is, she's always raidiant. 2 small flatback pearls are added. I hope you like it.

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

Think Monday - Think ATC

The moment I saw this weeks Tmta challenge "Black, White and Red" I immediately thought "99 Red Balloons" by Nena. I had to google it to find out when it was recorded ............... 1984!!! "Cough cough" I am getting old. I remember dancing to this in my mum's living room like it was yesterday hehe.


I dug out this old balloon image that's been in a box for ages but it's just perfect for this. Matted and layered it onto black and red paper. It's not very clear but I put a piece of red ribbon between the white and black layer. The ballloons are coloured with markers and 2 have had a nice coating of crackle accent.

Stamp: Party Balloons
Paper: from my scrap box
