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

Lil Pinkette Hope

Good morning all.

Well, autumn is definately here with wind and rain but it's still feeling warm - to me anyways lol. Hope you all had a super week-end, mine was very quiet and peaceful. Got my cleaning done and spent time with Phoebe doing thing SHE wanted to do. It's nice to take time out from the daily routine and do her wishes with regards to food she loves, games she likes to play however childish they may seem and watch disney princess movies hehe.

My card for today is made for a special cause. Most of us have been effected by cancer one way or another. I thought I had escaped until this summer when it turns out my grandma (mormor in danish) has a tumor the size of a small soccerball in the uterus (15 cm in diameter). The month of October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and I will be joining in with




I confess that I "squish" at least once a month and I did find a tiny pea-size lump a few years ago. Luckily it turned out to be a blocked hairdot that had become infected but the agony I went through before seeing the doctor is indescribbable.



I have used an image from Tickled Pink Stamps. Lil Pinkette Hope is available for $1.00 and ALL the process is donated to Beast Cancer Research. You can find her HERE together with others. I will also be entering this into the TICKLED PINK CHALLENGE.

Pirate

CRASH .................... I know this is my 2nd post for the day but there's no need to fall of the chair hehe.

Hands up who hasn't got a few stamps never inked up! I know I have a few and I am trying to redeem that by using some of them. And this one is one given to me by a friend a long time ago. It's always freightend me to ink it up as I didn't feel brave enough to colour her ...............



............ until now - a friend asked me to make a card for her daughter who's very much into pirates and this was the only one I have (I think). So I gave myself a little shake and I really enjoyed colouring it. I have always loved Sweetpea Stamps but as I said, felt a little scared to colour them. Hope you like this as I have kept it on the simple side.

Sweetpea stamp (not sure of the name as didn't come in original bag)
Kraft cardstock

Good morning all.

Whoa - what a thunderstorm we had here yesterday evening. Loud and bright and the heaven opened to throw 1 months worth of rain on us lol. Was quiet amazing to watch but I only say this cos we haven't had a lot of rain for quite some time. At least the sun has decided to come out this morning which is excellent when having to walk kids to school :). I could actually just buy a catapult and throw her to school - we live pretty close hehe.

Well, with my card today I am adding another christmas card to my pile ............



.................. I was lucky enough to win this fabulous angel from KRAFTIN' KIMMIE CHALLENGES and wanted to use her for this week's challenge. Isn't she fabulous!? She comes with her own little sentiment. I totally love the Moonlight Whispers and have starting a slowly growing collection lol. Her dress has been paper pierced and I have kept the design simple to show of the image.

Late rabbit

Good afternoon all.

Sorry this is going to be a quick post but I have Phoebe at home with a temperature and terrible cough. She get's astmatic so it is sometimes a little scary listening to her struggling for breath. Hopefully it'll be over by tomorrow as she is a little bored and misses her friends.

Yesterday we went to the local church for the school's harvest festival concert. I really enjoyed it and I think she did too.

Well anyways, on to today's card ..............



.............. not to sure about the colours and I think it needs something - buttons perhaps. Made this for the challenge at Mo's "Furry Friends". Used one of the wonderful images that the generous and talented Mo Manning offered as a free image a while back and I think he's super. He's called Late Rabbit and goes with the Alice in Wonderland series. He's has had a light colouring with Promarkers.

Good morning all.

Well, it's monday again and I don't know about you but time is FLYING. I can't believe we are in October already and christmas is just around the corner AGAIN.

I had Ben home this weekend and naturally I spoiled him. Especilly since he stated that he had missed me - yes, my cooking, washing and all-round maid hehe. It was great to see him again and re-assuring myself that he's doing fine on his own. It's a mummy-thing I think, always worrying about our kids.

Didn't get a lot of crafting done but managed to mix together this ..........



.......... isn't this a fabulous image. It was from one of Simply Betty's group and I think she's gorgeous. Put her together with some paper I had from a while back and coloured with Promarkers. Was a little scared about using the green for her skin but turned out ok I think.

Good morning all.

Well, it's October but it sure feels like July. The weather is glorious but the funny thing is they are promising us snow in about 2 weeks time lol. From one extreme to another. I am totally confused!!!!

Ben came home last night. Hasn't changed a bit (well, he has only been gone for 3 weeks) and no, he didn't bring back a load of washing - just a hungry stomach. But it was so nice to see him again and making sure he's ok. I can spoil him for a few days before he goes back.

Anyways, this is the reason for posting here ...............



.................... isn't she just fabulous?! I love Krista's images, the huge eyes and they are such fun to colour. I made this card for the 1st SATURATED CANARY CHALLENGE - a super sketch with optional theme Halloween. I hope it's ok I have turned the sketch a little.
