Lite bilder från min balkong innan regnet kom

 Ananas salvia, hoppas jag kan övervintra den i år med! =)

 Eldkrona, blommor jättefint nu! =)

 Luktärtorna blommar fint nu också, från förra årets frön!

 Ros jag köpte i sommar, men har aldrig sett en ros komma med knopp inuti själva blomman! =)

 Stjärnöga, tjusiga när de blommar! =)

Zinnia, sått från frön jag sparade förra sommaren! =)

Recycle, Re-Purpose and Re-Invent Anything Goes September

Finally time for another challenge at the Recycle, Re-Purpose & Re-Invent blog and this time is a Anything Goes, so you can make whatever you want as long as you recycle something! =)

There are some amazing projects done and they are a great inspiration! =)

We are also welcoming Wendy as our special guest designer this month! =)

My sister gives me little boxes and things for me to use while crafting, so I got this mascara box earlier and have been planning to make something out of it, so decided to make a little giftbox from it! =)

I used the face from the Funky Art Doll kit that are coming soon and colored them in grey, silver and blue colors, added some patterned paper to cover it and painted on the front and one of the sides! =) Added a plastic cover from a watch to make the center image pop a little!

This is how it looked before the make over:

This is the final result:

CDAC Progressive "You can be the STAR" challenge! =)

Time for a new start on the Progressive Challenges at CDAC, this time if you want in and have a chance to be a STAR you have to get the image in advance by email and then make a card/creation with it! =)

Of course I wanted to try it out so I got the cool image with surfboards from Tiffany Doodles. =)

This is how my card turned out, I stamped some different images on the boards, the one in the middle are from a stampset my sister got me from Japan! =)

A sketch challenge or maybe not...

Digistamps4Joy are sponsoring Through the Craftdoor and we were told it would be a sketch challenge so I made my card after that, but just before I started I saw that the theme was:

Diva or Anything goes #33, so I printed out these Fancy legs from Digistamps4Joy and made a card with a little bling and torn paper + a nice doile! =)

I'm adding this to a Color My Monday challenge at Lady Anne's Paper Crafts that has a colortheme, based on a pic of Native American Running Bear!

New release at Digistamps4Joy

We are so excited to WELCOME  COUNTRY CRAFTS & STAMPS, based in South Africa, who have permitted us to digitise and sell their JANEL range of rubber stamps!!!

This is therefore a SPECIAL RELEASE to introduce you to this new range of digistamps now being sold at DS4J!

All of us in the designteam got one image each to make something with and I got this lovely image:

Heart of roses

I used some of the cs I got from Panduro's sale + patterned vellum that I got from the same sale as the card base, then I added the image colored with my promarkers and a glitterpen for the purple flowers! Hightlighted some details with a white gel pen too! =) Found the anonymous quote online!

You can stop by the blog and see all the images and the other's ones card there now + more will come during the week! =)

Snart sovdax

Första veckan med jobb helt och hållet har verkligen varit fullspäckad, långa dagar och många namn och saker i huvudet! Som tur var blev det dans i onsdags, det var en skön omväxling, även om jag var trött i torsdags och det blev en seg dag!

 Som tur var så hade jag torsdagsmiddagen att se fram emot! =) 

Den lyfte min dag och jag hade en trevlig och rolig stund med gänget + en liten tös som pratade med roliga ljud av varierande styrka! =) 

Helgen har varit lugn, spelat två olika Fluxx, plockat bär och promenerat! =) 

Fixat så att min egen dator fungerar igen, det tog hela min fredagskväll, saknar lite saker än men det ordnar jag under veckan! =)

Ösregnar ute så har räddat mina blommor, men lådorna hann bli rätt tunga, får hoppas att de inte blir helt dränkta under natten!

Avslutar med en rolig video! =)

Digistamps4Joy- Challenge 49: Back to school

Time for a new challenge at Digistamps4Joy and the theme is perfect for this time of year, which is "Back to school"! =) 

Team B has the first post this time, I wasn't sure which image I should choose so looked thru mine. Then I saw this cool girl and decided she was the one! =)

She's called "I am a GIRL" and that right, she's a cool girl on the way back to school! 

Colored her with my promarkers, highlighted some details with a white gel pen and added a green paper + some leaves I got from a friend last year! The quote is printed and my own design!

Smartson - Testpilot på Hellmans majonnäs

Jag fick ett erbjudanade om att testa Hellman's produkter via Smartson och nappade på det, som tur var blev jag utvald också! =) 

Så idag kom jag hem med en flaska Hellman's majonnäs med smak av vitlök! =) 

Hittade det på andra affären jag letade på, så det gick snabbt!

Hade gjort en dressing tidigare med bla creme fraiche och ruccola, så tillsatte lite majonnäs och det blev perfekt! =)

Min syster har också testat att blanda ihop det och hon gillade det också! =)

Så här såg det ut med min majonnäs och tjocka revebensspjäll i bakgrunden! =)

 

Smartson - Testpilot på Pearl River bridge soya

Jippie, jag blev antagen att testa Pearl River Bridge Soya via Smartson och nu har jag hittat den på affärn också! =) Måste bara hitta på några bra användningsområden för den, så ska utforska det! =)

Den fanns på tredje affären jag letade på, så det var inte alltför svårt att hitta den!

Funderar på att göra en egen teriyakisås och använda den till lax, det kan bli bra, så återkommer när jag har testat detta! =) Bäst att bjuda in några på middag då också! =)

Digistamps4Joy - A portrait of a woman

Time for us in team B to show you our creations for our challenge at Digistamps4Joy, the theme is "Portrait of a woman" in celebration of National Women's Day in South Africa, it was a week ago but I think we can celebrate us women every day! =)

Here is the card I made for the challenge, I used the lovely Chubby girl in floral dress, added some brads, one is the flower in her hair and a quote from a fortune cookie I got recently, that I really liked! So a little recycling on my card this time! 

The border on the side is made with washitape, my new "must have" thing! =)

The quote says: 

You'll never know what you

can do until you try.

Dax för oss i team B att visa våra skapelser för vår utmaning hos Digistamps4Joy, temat är "Porträtt av en kvinna" för att fira Kvinnans national dag i Sydafrika som var förra onsdagen, men jag tycker att vi kan fira oss kvinnor varje dag! =)

Här är kortet jag gjorde till utmaningen, jag använde den underbara Knubbig tjej i blomklänning, lade till några brads, en är blomman i hennes hår och ett citat från en lyckakaka som jag fick nyligen, gillade verkligen citatet! Så det blev lite återvinning på kortet denna gången!

Bården på sidan är washitejp, min nya "måste ha" sak! =)

Citatet säger:

Du vet inte vad du 

kan göra förrän du provar.

Art With No Boundaries - Anything Goes & Rhythm of the sea part 2

Time for Part 2 of our Anything Goes and Rhythm of the sea challenges at Art With No Boundaries! =)

Anything goes can be whatever you want, but if you want a chance on the prize, use the Rhythm of the sea as your inspiration and add BR after your entry! =)

 

As usual we have worked with CS Designs fabulous images and for this challenge I used the Sea Nymph Round! =) 

I printed out two images and cut out the starfisk and raised them on  3D pillows, as I did with the image to make it stand out in front of the swirls and the sea background paper! =) Shaded the letters with a darker color to make them look like they are raised too! =)

Art With No Boundaries - Anything goes + Rhythm of the sea part1

A new month and our Anything Goes challenge, for the bonus round it's an ocean theme this time! =)

My card for the first week is made with the A friendly light sentiment from CS Designs, I printed out two images, colored one and then cut out the lighthouse on the second and colored it too!

I raised the second lighthouse up on 3D pillows, tore the edges around the sentiment and found a beach themed paper for the background! =) I added highlights to the lighthouse and the text white a white gel pen.

So please come and join us at Art With No Boundaries for this new round of challenges! =)

Another Sunday release for Digistamps4Joy and this time we had two images to choose between, I used the beautiful Zen Bird from Jen and it was a delight to color! =) 

Used some beachthemed paper that I had a bit of the sky with saved and it was so perfect, added a chipboard sticker too! =)
