Yet another card!

Yes, another card! I'm in a flow right now, LOL! Can you tell that I like this colour-combo? it's my favourite one right now...

This one I made for a friend who turned 40 in July. We were invited to her birthday-party last Saturday. The stamp is from Reprint (I think) and the design is made by my dear friend Maria (pointing over to my friends blogs), isn't it lovely!? I coloured it with ProMarkers. The tags I punched out using my QK Squeeze, and on one of the tags I put "40" and on the other I put "år", which means "years". At first I intended to put Sophie there, but the tags were too small... The paper... oh my gosh, I can't remember where that is from! Sorry!

Penny Black-card

Today my head feels like it's a little too big and I just want to go to bed (will do that in a minute), but first I wanted to show you a birthday-card I made the other week. I am participating in a birthday-swap in a Swedish forum, and this card I made for a lady who's birthday is in August, and sent it together with a little present. The photo is not too good I'm afraid, I have to practice that... But you get the idea! The stamp I used is from Penny Black, it's so cute!

Engagement-card

A friend of mine told me she got engaged without anybody knowing about it! I wish her all the best, she really deserves to be happy! I made her this card, I kind of like the vibrant colours, it's not as "sweet" as these kinds of cards tend to be! What do YOU think?

Rainy

Now evenings are getting darker again. By 9 PM I have to switch the light on - that has not been necessary for the past couple of months! And right now it feels as if autumn is knocking on the door again, because it has been rainy the past few days, and therefore not that warm...

Above is a Vintage Wedding ATC that I made for my group "LovelyDecos". It's pretty simple, but I think it turned out OK...

Summer!

This past week it has really been SUMMER! It's been really hot (around 30 degrees C, which is nearly 100 F) and sunny. I was hoping for some thunder-storms - yes I LOVE thunder-storms - but nope... Not here. Today it's slightly cooler - around 28 degrees C...

Mats had a small accident with his foot the other night. he was jumping off a stone-wall and came down badly. His foot hurt very much, but somehow he managed to drive home anyway... Today I forced him to see a doctor, because the foot was very swollen and it hurt very much. He had the foot X-rayed as well, but luckily it was not broken. Now he's got crutches to get moving and I also put his foot in a bandage. He's quite grumpy but very cute! LOL!

The deco above is a "Summer" deco that I made for my own group LovelyDecos. I like that stamp very much, thanks Maria for letting me borrow it!

Picasso

Now I'm back from vacation! As usual we had a car-vacation and this year we headed to France. We focused mainly on Normandy and visited lots of war-museums and cemeteries from the WW2. Kind of depressing, but very good to see! At the end of the trip we went to Paris for 3 days, which was as nice as always!

So, now that I'm home again I have a little difficulty in getting back into crafting - strange, I would have thought the opposite! It might have to do with the heat though - today we have had a temperature of 32 degrees Celsius! That is way too hot for me! But I did manage to craft a little - like this Picasso-deco that I made for my Swedish yahoo-group SvenskaDecos. It turned out pretty nice, I'm happy with it!

Visitors

After a few intense weeks with visitors from Germany (Hi Katha!) and Norway (Hi Marthe!) I'm back to normal again. Well, not THAT normal, since my son Gustav is having summer-break and is home all days. Well, mostly he's out playing with his friends, thank goodness! But it's still a lot to do - fixing food, washing clothes etc - more than when he's not here!

When Marthe from Norway was here we had really fun making lots and lots of decos and ATCs! For example, I made the deco above - it's a "My favourite rubberstamp" deco that I made for my Swedish yahoo-group SvenskaDecos. I'm very pleased with how it came out! Marthe, I can't wait to come and visit you and have another deco-making marathon! I just need to save up for the air-fare and all that shopping...
