Spring in my step and in my pocket

Hmm, this looks much more plain than intended and IRL.

Koira-kevät!

Sizzixin ale-ostokset ovat inspiroineet koko viikon - onneksi on pääsiäinen niin saa askarrella tavallista enemmän :)

Kevättä ihmettelevää koirani ottaa osaa seuraaviin haasteisiin: Creative Knock-Outs (Furry friends), Simon Says Wednesday (Animal Antics), ABC (J is for Just as you like it), Suzy Bee (AG), Gem of a Challenge (Spring is in the Air) ja Fab'n'Funky (Flower Power).

Osallistun seuraaviin haasteisiin: Fan-Tastic Tuesday (Use some pastels), Simon Says Stamp Monday (Winged Things), Simon Says Wednesday (Animal Antics) ja Penny (Ice cream colours: strawberry and blueberry)

P*skishaasteen värilastu

P*skishaasteen värilastu sekä Sizzixin alennuksesta ostetut ihanuudet inspiroivat tämän kortin. Hieman lisää kontrasteja olisi ehkä kaivannut, mutta kun vaan teki mieli käyttää näitä stansseja tänään, niin näillä mennään :)

Christmas came early

I went a bit mad when I saw the Sizzix sale, and among the goodies that arrived on Monday, there were these Christmas dies. Boy did I feel like Christmas had arrived and I'd been a very good girl!

I'm participating in: Digi Sketch (Sketch only), CHNC (Make it square), CRAFT (Christmas), ABC Christmas (H is for Home - and where else would you hang your Christmas stocking :) and CHNC Extra (April).

Pink Xmas

The skates are pretty and girly (the pale pink coloring came out nicer than I thought it would), but the papers I chose did not manage to make the Sketch Saturday sketchie justice. The inspiration came from these challenges: CHNC (Make it square), CRAFT (Christmas), Winter Wonderland (I'm Dreaming of a Pink Christmas), CHNC Extra (April) and Suzy Bee (AG).

Födelsedagsvår

Många av barnens kusiner har födelsedag på nu vårsidan av året, så det blir många glada kalas och mycket kaka :)

Påskägg

Vilken besvikelse det var igår då inga små påskhäxor besökte oss!

Det här kortet gjorde jag med så gott som bara freebie-papper från Papercraft Inspirations-tidningen, ägget är 3D (iden rakt kopierad från tidningen), och blev finare och se ut än jag tänkte mig. Jag påskägg deltar i: Totally Papercrafts (Easter), A Creative Romance (Eggcellent Spring), Milk Coffee (Easter), QKR Stampede (Easter), Crafts 4 Eternity (Easter), Pinspirational, Created With Love (Easter),  Simon Says Wednesday (Easter), Kort'o'Mania (Påsk) och Whoopsi Daisy (Easter).

Peek-a-boo!

Med samma skiss blev det ett rätt likadant kort som tidigare idag. Förgerna kommer inte riktigt till sin rätt på kortet, och texten "Friends" som finns på charm-en (vad heter månne utsmyckningen på svenska?) syns inte heller.

Jag deltar gladeligen i: Catch the Bug (Stella says Sketch), Catch the Bug (Spring time), Totally Gorjuss (Charm-ing), Fan-Tastic Tuesday (AG), Fairytale (Schmetterlinge), Creative Knock-Outs (Spring is in the air), Penny's (Flower Power), Creative Card Crew (Spring), Allsorts (Spring Blossoms), Crafty Catz (Animals) och Gem of a Challenge (Spring is in the Air).

Vårregn

Jag fyndade (eller så berättigade jag iaf inköpen) lite Promarkers på Stockmanns Galna Dagar och genast fick jag lite mer nyanser i mitt färgläggande. Jag deltar i: Stella Says Sketch, Robyn's fetish (Must have a hat), Suzy Bee (AG), Southern Girls (Earn your stripes), TTCRD (AG), Charisma Cardz (April Showers), Crafters Cafe (Spring) och Cupcake Inspirations.

Love-ly bear

Det här blev tack vare pappren o färgerna Valentindags-känsla över det hela, mer än jag tänkt mej. Jag deltar i: Sweet Sketch Wednesday, Digi Sketch (Theme: Bears), Fan-tastic Tuesday (AG), TTCRD, Crafty Catz (Animals) och Suzy Bee (AG).

P*skishaasteeseen mukaan Jäätelökesällä

Enpäs uskonut onneani kun Onnetar suosi viimekertaisessa P*skishaasteessa :)

Nyt P*skarteluhaasteessa #228 teemana on luonnos, ja koska itse tykkään kovasti käyttää luonnoksia (milloinkohan sommittelusta tulee helpompaa?) niin innostuin tästä, ja uskonpa että tulen käyttämään tätä uudemman kerran! Yksinkertaisuudessaan se on kuitenkin yllättävän monipuolinen, oli inspiroivaa käydä katsomassa DT-töitä sekä jo osallistumaan ehtineita!

Glad Påsk!

Jag använde igen den här söta Bugaboo-påskharen (en freebie som du ännu kan få!) och deltar i: Catch the Bug (Stella Says Sketch), Passion for Promarker (So Sentimental), Love to Create (AG for Kids), Artistic Inspirations (Easter Animal / AG), Sweet Stamps (Easter), Simon Says Wednesday (Easter), Cute Card Thursday (Easter), MilkCoffee (Easter).

Påskhare

Jag använde mig av pappret som var i Papercraft inspirations förra (?) numret, men limmade det ljusröda pappret åt fel håll (det skulle vara enfärgat, inte rutigt). Men nu funkar det ju någotsånär såhär också :)

Min påskhare deltar i: Sketch Saturday, CRAFT (Recycled - the button is an extra for a shirt), Creative Card Crew (Spring), Glitter'n'Sparkle (Pearls & Lace), Dream Valley (Easter), Artistic Inspirations (Easter Animal / AG), Robyn's Fetish (Easter), Card Mania (Easter), A Gem of a Challenge (Ribbon & Lace), Created With Love (Easter) och Catch the Bug (April AG).

INSPIS-haasteeseen pääsiäiskortti

Inspis-haasteessa teemana on allaoleva malli, ja itse tykkään tästä kovasti! Sommittelu on omasta mielestäni erittäin vaikeaa, ja tästä syystä käytän useimmiten jotain mallia apuna. Kuva on Robyn's Fetish:n, joka sponsoroi tämänkertaista Seems A Little Sketchy haastetta, missä nimensämukaisesti on malli-haasteita, erikoisuutena se, että siinä on myös tulevien haasteiden mallit valmiiksi näytillä.

Sunny tunes

Isn't it lovely that spring (more or less) has arrived and you can hear birds singing?

My songbird tweets herself into the following challenges: CRAFT (Recycled - the flower is made from a used envelope and the background paper is from a magazine - meant for crafting but would otherwise heading for the recycling bin), Creative Card Crew (Spring), Suzy Bee (AG), Pinspirational, Penny's (Feathered Friends), Delicious Doodles (All seasons in one day), Crafty Ribbon (Summer Colour Explosion), Totally Papercrafts (Pastels).

Oh, and does it ever happen to anybody else, that suddenly you have an epiphany of what your creation is missing? While writing this, I got the idea that the thing I need to add is the Tweet-text that I have as a die :)

Grattis!

Min fotbollsspelare deltar i följande utmaningar: Catch the Bug (April AG), Creative Knock-Outs (For a Child), Cute Card Thursday (All Boy), Simon Says Wednesday (Happy Birthday), Divas by Design (AG), Love to Create (Anything goes for kids) och Clear it Out (Theme: Boys, Stash Stickers - the stars).

Seems a Little Sketchy #62 with Robyn's Fetish

In Finland we celebrate Mother's Day in May, so in anticipation of that I made this card. The generous sponsor (3 digis) this week at Seems a Little Sketchy is Robyn's Fetish, and below you can see the sketch. Do head over and see what my talented team-mates have done, I was (again) awestruck by their work (I got a sneak-peak, you see), and had to take a few deep breaths before pressing the publish button. So take a look and be prepared to be inspired :)

My strawberry enters these challenges: Inky Chicks (Butterflies), Crafty Catz (AG), Send a Smile from kids (Happy Mother's Day - I see my kids using Mother's day a the perfect reason to without any self-interest prepare a strawberry cake :), Sketchy Colors (Lime Grön & Gul) and Get Inky (Spring/Easter).

Kenkiä kenkiä

Päätin käyttää tätä Bugaboo-kenkää uudemman kerran ja osallistua seuraaviin haasteisiin: Amalian haasteet (Ripaus Pinkkiä), Pile it on (Feminine), Catch the Bug (April AG), Glitter'n'Sparkle (Lace & Pearls), Crafty Catz (AG), Creative Inpirations (Lovely Lace), Love to Create (Colour Challenge - and the pearls are green, which isn't easily discernible in the pic) ja DigiSketch (Sketch)

Merry Penguin!

This cute & cuddly Bugaboo-penguin is supposedly surrounded by snowflakes and snowballs (the gems), even though now typing away I realize it's not *that* obvious. Nonetheless, I'm entering the following challenges: CSAYL (Lots of Layers), Catch the Bug (Recipe: 4 layers, a flower (gingerbread flower in this case) and a ribbon), Sweet sketch Wednesday, Penny's (Feathered friends), CHNC Extra April, Fan-Tastic Tuesday (Use a patterned paper), Top Tip Tuesday and Winter Wonderland (Snowballs).

I'm entering the following challenges: Digi Sketch (Sketch), Suzy Bee (Spring), MilkCoffee (Welcome Spring), Cupcake Inspirations, Top Tip Tuesday (Cute), TTCRD (AG), Totally PaperCrafts (Pastels), Crafty Catz (Springtime) and Fan-tastic Tuesday (Use a patterned paper).

My Crabby Cathy enters the following challenges: Tuesday Morning Sketches, Passion for Promarker (Give us a laugh), Fan-tastic Tuesday (Use a patterned paper), Crafting for all Seasons (Dies and punches) and Crafting by Designs (April AG).

Muffin-hare

För några veckor sedan köpte jag Papercraft Inspirations och där med kom lite papper och söta djur, som denna Muffin-dekorerande sötis.

Jag deltar i: Fan-tastic Tuesday (Use a patterned paper), Totally Gorjuss (Food and/or Drink), Papertake Weekly (AG, and I actually used Sketch #29 for inspiration), Crafty Catz (AG) och Top Tip Tuesday (Cute).

P*skarteluhaasteen resepti

P*skarteluhaasteessa on resepti tarjolla, ja sekoittamalla sen ainesosat (eläin - nappeja - raitoja) syntyi tällainen yksinkertainen lopputulos.

Skating around in Circles

I know this resembles my previous card, but now in addition to Hazels card, I tried to emulate the sketch at Feeling Sketchy #85, even though I spread out the circles a bit wider. Nontheless, I loved the background so much that in an attempt to put the skates in the corner they actually now are partly outside the card... But boy did I make a mistake: The inspiration for the skates came from Marianne's beautiful ones at Winter Wonderland, but mine looked a little bit drab so I thought I'd add some glitter glue. But alas, half-way through I regretted it, but by then it was too late to put the glitter back in the tube.

I'm entering the following challenges also: Get Inky (Circles), Sweet Stamps (Use Dies), CHNC (Going Round in Circles), CHNC Extra April, Winter Wonderland (Get Krafty - the skates), Allsorts (Use those dies), Crafty Katz (AG) and ABC Christmas (G is for Glitter).

Trains and trucks

I made this with my nephew Mr C in mind, as he really loves his cars and vehicles (and of course Daddy being a huge enthusiast has an impact).

My vehicles enter the following challenges: Clear it Out (Theme: Boys/Men, Stash: Stickers - the two cars), The Crafting Café (One for the Boys), Paper Crafting Journey (AG), Crafting by Designs (AG), TTCRD (AG) and Papertake Weekly (AG).
