Jasmine Inspirations

Good morning ladies (and gents if any about this early)

It is Thursday and we are halfway through the Valentine and love challenge over at LITTLE MISS MUFFET. So why not hop over to the challenge blog to see what fabulous inspiration my fellow teamies have for you - you will be blown away :).

I created this little card for Phoebe which I will give to her on Valentine together with a chocolate heart ........



.............. I used the sweet new image Jasmine - she's just so adorable holding her teddy. The papers are very old, must have been amongst the first I bought lol, which just shows that good things lasts forever :).

Anyways, you still have a week to enter out Valentine and Love challenge and with Valentine coming up the should be nothing stopping you so .................

go crafting.

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

Ladybug

Good evening.

Well, the snow has finally arrived. All 3 kids have just gone outside to get wet and cold and I have for once had the heating on all day - it's freezing. Normally I wouldn't do that as it's so expensive but today I did.

I have been staying indoors crafting most of the day when I have not been doing housework or being personal slave to my 3 kids - and yes, we have Ben home from Uni this weekend too.

I thought I might participate in a new challenge featuring a new stamp company The Alley Way Stamp. For their first challenge which you can check out HERE you should get inspired by .....



....... which isn't that hard as it's a fabulous photo with loads of inspiration. So, this is what I made .....



...... a little simple but loving the banners and colours. I used one of the fabulous freebie available on the blog. Hope you like it.

MATERIALS USED

Ladybug @ The Alley Way Stamps
White and kraft cardstock
scrap papers
Polkadoodles sentiment stamp

Dilly Bean Friday Challenge - Zombie Love

Good morning all.

Oh my goodness it's cold - definately wise to wrap up warm when going outside. And apparently we are getting snow tomorrow - hm, not sure I like that idea.

Anyways, it's Friday :) and that means another fabulous challenge at DILLY BEANS FRIDAY CHALLENGES. This week we would love for you to participate in a little bit of zombie lovin'. You may of course interpret that as you like but here's mine .......



.......... yup, no traditional colours here and I love this image. She's just so cute in a freaky sort of way. With this cold weather what better way to stay indoors and participate in a little lovin' and if you need any inspiration the Dilly Girls have loads to show you. Megan's fabulous images can be found HERE and I am sure there's one for everyone. So, what are you waiting for ........ join in!

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

Little Miss Muffet Challenge - Valentine

Good morning all.

It's Thursday which means it's time for another challenge at LITTLE MISS MUFFET STAMPS. Did you like the new release from last week?? Weren't the image fabulous and just perfect for this weeks theme

VALENTINE AND LOVE

When I lived home in Denmark we didn't celebrate Valentine. Only ever heard of it when watching films or TV programs. After moving to the UK I have naturally been bombarded with it hehe. It's even become big'ish in Denmark too lol. Personally I believe that you should tell someone you love them anytime and not have a special day for it but I think it's a good idea for young people - something fun for them :).

I made this card which I will be giving to my daughter for she is the light in my life. Don't get me wrong - I absolutely adore my sons and they are just as special to me but being teenage boys they do not sit and cuddle with me anymore lol.



If you are looking for a little inspiration jump over to LMM blog and check out the other fabulous DT ladies projects. I am sure they will inspire you to join in and make a Valentine for yourself. And remember - if you use a LMM stamp then it Anything goes evertime.

MATERIALS USED

Bailey
White, red and kraft cardstock
Bo Bunny dp
Ribbon
Buttons
