Scrap-day

London 2005

Precious Mom

Last week I had a day off from work and I spent it with my very dear friend Sollan. I don't scrapbook very often, but I do have a small album in the size of 6x6" and since Sollan is a great scrapper and a huge inspiration, I thought I would do some LOs while I was there. Here above are 2 of the LOs that I made during that day. I had great fun, and I will try to scrapbook more often! Theank you Sollan for the inspiration, input and also the embellishments you let me steal from you! ;)

The one at the top is showing pics of when M and I were in London in November 2005. The other one is a tribute to my mom, she is the best mom ever!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year, everybody! I hope you will have a great, crafty new year!

Here are some of my latest work. The one at the top is a deco, themed "Snowmen" (obviously, LOL), made for a group-swap. I must say that I am quite happy with the way it turned out . Note that the lovely stamp was made by my dear friend Maria! Isn't it gorgeous? I coloured it with my watercolour-pencils.

The next is a Christmas-card! Yes, Christmas is over and done with for this time, but it's never to late to begin making Christmas-cards for the next year, right?! The text on the paper "God Jul 24:12" means Merry Christmas December 24 - because here in Sweden we do ur main celebrating at Christmas Eve!

The last one is a birthday-card (probably). I did not have anybody in particular in mind when I did it, it just came to me... Both this card and the Christmas-card was coloured in with my Promarkers.

Retirement-card and Christmas-cards

 My former boss Margaretha retired last Friday. Of course I had to make her a card! She is a non-fuss woman who is always dressed in black, so this is what I came up with. It was really fun to give it to her because she was so very emotional. She hugged me and stroke my cheek - so not her usual self! 

These 2 Christmas-cards above is what I made recently. I guess it's about time to send the Christmas-cards out soon! Especially those that will go overseas!

Birthdays

A couple of weeks ago both my darling and his mom had their birthdays (at the same day). Of course I had to make them birthday-cards! The top one is for my sweetheart - "Puss" is Swedish for "Kiss" - and the other one is for my Mother In  Law. She loves cats, so of course I had to make a cat-card for her!

Halloween cat and Christmas-card

 

Halloween is coming up! I have participated in a group-swap in EuropeArtDecos @ Yahoo - a deco with the theme "Halloween cats". Isn't the kitty I chose cute - and scary?! 

I am continuing producing Christmas-cards. I will sell some at work and also need some for myself. This one is in untraditional colours - I was thinking of the pink symbolizing the Pink month of breast-cancer awareness when I made it. And I also made it for the challenge at Althea's Mix, which was to create a Christmas-card of your own choice.

Vintage ballerina and won the challenge at Skapa Hobby!

New deco: Vintage ballerina - isn't she pretty?! I used black cardstock from Bazill as the base, then a pink paper with black print (some of the images are embossed). I am sorry, but I don't know the brand of the paper. I stamped a swirl from Panduro in the left corner and embossed it with a hologram-powder. Turned out pretty nice!

I am also extremely happy to tell you that I actually WON the challenge at Skapa Hobby for which I made the card in the previous post! I am waiting to receive the prize and can't wait to find out what it is! :)

Challenge at Skapa Hobby!

Another Christmas-card! This one I made for a challenge at Skapa Hobby. I was inspired by the lay-out, the repeated elements (in their card butterflies, in my card hearts), the text on the background and the torn edges. The card ended up not too Christmassy, but if you're Swedish you can read the Christmassy words in the background! :)
