So glad you stopped by! You know the saying that practice makes perfect? Well, with this blog I'm chronicling my journey to reaching 10 000 hours (the amount needed to learn a new skill well) at card crafting. And yes, I'm enjoying the process :)

P*skarteluhaasteeseen mukaan kesäillalla
P*skarteluhaasteessa teemana on luonnos, joten pakkohan sitä on hyödyntää :) Kesäilta oli mielessä kun värjäsin tämän Bugaboo-kuvan ja valitsin muut värit, en ole ihan vakuuttunut että toimii mutta kiva kokeilla vähän näitä synkkiä värejä myös.

Klassikko!
P*skarteluhaasteen viikon teemana on värit, ja väreinä ovat oranssi, ruskea ja turkoosi. Ihania värejä (kaikki!), mutta askarteluvarastoistani löytyy valitettavan vähän turkoosia. Noh, Doodle Pantryn vintage auto on mielestäni turkoosinen, ja ihanassa Paperinauhan sponsoroimassa P*skishaasteen reseptihaasteessa Herra Random suosi ja voitin pupukortillani tässä käyttämäni ihananvärisen rusetin, joka oli osa voittopakettiani.
Vilken sötnos
Jag gillar dessa söta, men stora (på gott o ont) djur som jag fyndade på Sizzix-rea (min mus, ena hund och min andra hund).

Vintage menopeli
Doodle Pantryn kuvat ovat kyllä minuun makuuni. Tein kolmannnen kerran "easel" kortin - mitäköhän se on suomeksi tai ruotsiksi? - ja se tuntuu suht helpolta tavalta saada vähän erilaisen wow-efektin. Inspiraationa minulla oli Great Impressionsin tutoriaali mistä opin tämän tekniikan.
Osallistun seuraaviin haasteisiin: All about the Vintage (Kaikki käy), C.R.A.F.T. (Birthday Blog hop) Great Impressions (Use a GI tutorial), Totally Gorjuss (Don't be square), Allsorts (Fancy folds), Incy Wincy (Birthdays) ja Sentimental Sundays (Wheelie fun).

Valmistujaiset
P*skiksen teemana on kesän juhlat, joten tällä valmistujaiskortillani osallistun. Tykkään tästä Kenny K kuvasta, mutta tuntuuhan se aika jenkkimäiseltä, joten ei se oikein sovellu käytettäväksi Suomessa. Käytin Sketch Saturday-luonnosta pohjana, sommittelu kun on niin vaikeaa :)
My first easel card!
I watched this tutorial over at Great Impressions, and inspired by that I immediately made this easel card with the fun Doodle Pantry monkey. For once I can actually proudly say that I was happy with the outcome and I can foresee many more easel cards in the future :)
I'm entering my monkey into the following challenges: Great Impressions (Use a GI tutorial), Doodle Pantry and C.R.A.F.T. (Birthday Blog hop).

Soitellaan!
Villakeijun kortteiluhaasteessa on tällä kertaa luonnos tarjolla, ja sehän sopii kun useimmiten käytän sellaista. Täytyypä muuten kysellä omilta lapsilta jos tunnistavat mikä vekotin tässä on kyseessä :)

Seems a Little Sketchy #64 with Kenny K Downloads
The Kenny K images are so fun, look at the wonderful creations my Seems a Little Sketchy teamies made this week for the new challenge! I love the SALS concept of providing sketches ahead of time for future challenges, and in the last few months there has been quite few entries, so do participate for a good chance of winning some lovely digis :)
Here is the sketch for the next fortnight:

P*skishaasteeseen mukaan kirjoituskoneella
P*skarteluhaasteessa teema on tällä viikolla bingo, ja osallistun rivillä Ei leimausta - Kohokuviointi - Mustaa. Välillä en tiedä pitäisikö minun opiskella (tavalla tai toisella) askartelua (värioppia, sommittelua, uusia tekniikoita yms) tai valokuvausta. Mutta valokuvauksen suhteen taidanpa vaan olla niin laiska etten jaksa muulla tavalla kun kännykällä valokuvata, vaikkakin lopputuloksen presentaatio siitä kärsiikin. Askarteluhan se tässä kuitenkin on se kivoin osa :)
Trädgårdskrukor
Mina QKR-blommor (som då inte är på ett kvadratiskt kort, det är bara bakgrunden) deltar i följande utmaningar: Crafty Catz (Anything but Square), Friday Sketch, QKR (Mother's Day), Charisma Cardz (Mother's Day), Crafty Little Fairies (In the Garden) och Penny's (Pastel Colours)

Djurvänner
Jag gillar skarpt dessa söta Bugaboo-djur, men jag printade ut dem något för stora så jag fick lite problem med att få allt att rymmas. Men jag lät inte det hindra mig :)
Jag deltar i Catch the Bug (Stella says Sketch), Catch the Bug (Colours), MilkCoffee (Bright Colours), Kort o mania (AG), TTCRD (AG) och Simon Says Wednesday (AG).

I used the Sketch from Papertake Weekly when staging the scene for my QKR ragdoll gardener who participates in Crafty Little Fairies (In the Garden), Cute Card Thursday (Here comes Summer), Simon Says Wednesday (AG), CWL (In the garden) and Crafting by Designs (AG). Please note the Fiskars' garden tool that I so patriotically colored orange :)
