Happy Christmas!!

Good morning Thursday.

Oh My Goodness - woke up this morning and the sun was starting to break through. What a wonderful surprise although it does mean catching up on my washing and less crafting time. But gotta make the most of a lovely day now that they will be few and far between. Not a lot else happening here apart from Phoebe is now getting settled in school and doesn't cry when I leave anymore. It's heart-breaking walking away from a crying child.

So onto today's card. Now that we are getting closer and closer to christmas I am making more and more and I do love them. There is nothing like a handmade card to tell someone they are special. This card is for 4 challenges - I used the sketch over at Just Magnolia, added a lot of glitter and bling (although it's difficult to see since I scan my cards but there is a lot on the wings and baubles and the paper is covered in gold writing) to fit in with the challenges for Crazy 4 Challenges and Totally Tilda and the christmas Theme is for Totally Gorjuss. The sentiment is in danish and basically means "Good Christmas". I stamped with Versamark and embossed.

I hope you like my card, I do think Magnolia make the most adorable images for christmas time.

Halloween

Morning Tuesday.
Well, what do you know. It's grey, damp and chilly again so no change there. Not that I really expected it from the english weather but would be nice with a little sun. Ah well, there is always tomorrow (yeah right, in my dreams lol).

I know we don't really send halloween cards here in England but with so many cute halloween images around it's almost a shame. So without further ado I am presenting .......... tada, another halloween card (huge smiles). I made this for the Quixotic challenge who wanted to see Halloween themed creations and I know that Elaine LOVES halloween. I used this adorable little girl - been wanting her since I first saw it. This is a digital image available at All That Scraps but it's also available as a rubber stamp. Although I love digital images (fast delivery, easy storage and re-sizable) there is something addictive about new rubber. Not sure if it's the smell or the fact they look too clean - just gotta ink them up.
Enough of my ramblings - hope you like this little darling.

Thanks a Bunch

Good morning Monday.
Grey, wet and cold - that's today's weather here and I hate it. So I think I will be staying indoors and do some colouring today and some housework to keep warm. Hopefully my card for today is gonna cheer you up - it's summery :). I made this to tie in with - wait for it - 5 challenges lol. Whiff of Joy and Craftalicious asked for Thank you's, Flutterby and Paper Sundae both wanted to see Things with Wing and I just loved the sketch at Friday Sketchers. Well, I am quite please how this turned out - hope you like it too.

Music Saved my Soul

This is the second week of Marcea's saturday feature "Music Saved my Soul" and I wanted to participate. I listen to music whenever possible and love it all, from Heavy Metal to Opera. I don't know about you but once a year - around May time - I get all excited and buy Popcorn, soft drinks etc etc and sit down to watch


EUROVISION

This year was from Norway and the act during the voting period was Madcon. Love them and their music so my entry today is



ENJOY!!!!!!

My first ever DT work

Oh yes!! I can't believe it but the wonderful Linda Wright asked me to join her DT for Jazzlin's Design which is selling all kinds of crafting goodies. And I got to play with some of it these last few days.

This first card features the lovely Willow with baby from Whiff of Joy and it is available from Jazzlins shop or mail order. The papers are K & Co. "Classic McKenna" and all the embellishments are available from Jazzlins.




My second card features a Stampavie by Rachelle Anne Miller "Birthday Monkeys" which you can get from Jazzlins, priced at £5.95. The funky paper is by Bo Bunny which I had in my stash and needed a fun image to use it for.




I hope you like my cards, I definately had fun making them. If you are interested in any of the items featured here please contact Linda :).

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

100% Huggable

Good afternoon Friday.
Hope you're all doing fine. Been really busy these last few days and it doesn't help that Phoebe has caught a bad cold. Unfortunately she suffers from really bad asthma when she gets a cold so have to take her to the doctor later as she is struggling to breath. It's rather upsetting. Well, the nice weather didn't last long - thunder and lighting here yesterday evening and I did worry (just a little) if my car would be swept down the hill with all that rain hehe.

Anyways, onto my card for today. I have used one of my absolute favorite stamps "Beary Big Hugs" from Belles'n'Whistles. I wanted this stamp for a long time before she was back on stock. I made this card for the Belles'n'Whistle challenge which simply asked that you do a CAS card (Clean and simple). Hope you like this .

Which has left little time for my favorite past-time - crafting. But that's ok cos it will be waiting for me when I have time again.
