February blogcandy

So many lovely candies last month. Did you enter any? I did and actually won two of them. However I didn't get back to one of them in time and she drew another winner. Funny thing is that on the other one the second prize winner didn't get back to her so she decided to give me both prizes. So in the end it all evens out I guess :D

Here's is a list of all candies I can find in february. I update this list when I find new stuff so check back often. I'm linking this list in my sidebar under candy so it's easier for you to find. Hopefully this month I will finally get my own candy together. I've been very fortunate lately and want to spread the love. Good luck in your entries and I see you in blogland.

Loves me

 Hi everyone and welcome back to my little place in blogland. I've been having so much fun today. I started on two cards and managed to finish one of them - this one. I made it for this week's challenge at just magnolia. They had a wonderful sketch that I wanted to try. I made a Valentine's card to fit the theme at caardvarks (red and hearts) crafty card makers (hearts and romance) I also used a lot of different punches to be able to join creative card crew.

I used one of my new magnolia stamps and my brand new pad from Basic Grey called sugared that I got today. I ordered it in late november and still hadn't heart anything from the company last week. I had mailed them several times to different mails, their blog and so on with no reply. I felt quite disappointed getting tricked like that so I thought I'd give it one last try to contact them. I wrote and said that if they didn't get back to me I would be forced to post on my blog and any forum not to buy from them. 2 HOURS later I get a mail saying my package had shipped, lol. And today I got it with a little bonus even. So my tip of the day is to threaten with bad publicity. Gets any company going since they know what internet can do for/to them. I'm usually very understanding about these things, but didn't like the fact that they didn't even get back to me explaining anything. Nobody stiffs me, lol. Here are the goodies I got - the Woj sheep was my first buy, but it came last so can't wait to ink him up :)

 

 

 

Promarkers: ivory, blush, carmel, walnut, burnt sienna, honeycomb, baby pink, cocktail pink, burgundy
Stamps: Magnolia, sweet pea stamps
Paper: Basic Grey "sugared"
Other: corner punch, qk hearts, borderabilities frame, flowers, bling, pink shimmerz

Be mine

Today I'm inviting you to take a look at a card and some blogcandy I won. I made the card for a lot of challenges.
I really want a lighttent and found an instruction on how to build your own which I've been wanting to try forever now. The most expensive part of that though is the lightbulb that gives daylight. The bulb itself costs around $30! Yikes, but now I know what to wish for for my birthday. If you know anywhere cheaper I can get it on the net, let me know. I think it makes such a difference with good photos and it would be great to be able to photograph at any hour of the day.

Here are the challenges I'm entering with this card:
Magnolia stamp lovers - sketch
A spoon full of sugar - anything you like
Magnolia down under - Valentines
Magnolia-licious highlights - pretty in pink
ABC challenge - masking
Stamp with Sarah Kay - Love/Valentine's
Die cuts r us - ribbon

I had a couple of other in mind while doing this card, but I missed the deadline.
I used two magnolia stamps - the girl and the branch. I actually won the branch stamp in a candy and thought I'd try masking this time. I really like the paper and tried to use the decorations by applying glitter, bling and dimensional glaze to make them stand out more. I used little letterstickers to spell "be mine" and two different ribbons to make the lines. I also used a decorative punch I bought the other day. Thought the card looked to plain otherwise. It still looks like its missing something, but at least it's a little better now.

And finally - here's the lovely first prize candy I won from Jo. She has designed the asiainspired stamps herself for stamp attack. I really liked the other stamps aswell and the big scrolly one is fab! Can't wait to start using them. She also sent a keychain she made and a beautiful box. Thanks a lot for the goodies Jo!

Promarkers: blush, oatmeal, baby pink, salmon pink, cocktail pink, cerise, ice grey1,3,4, cool grey5, blender.

A friend is someone...

...who reaches for your hand and touches your heart.

Today I finished a card I've been working on during the week. It's a friendship card using black white and silver from the stamptacular sunday challenge. I used a sketch from a DT call at simply scrapping. I'm not sure if I will apply, but I got really inspired to combine these two challenges together. Think it turned out quite well and very different from everything I've been doing lately. I think it shows my style pretty well, at least how it used to be before I got influenced by all bloggers :)

Hey gorgeous

Have you seen that Katharina - the owner of Whiff of joy has a guest design call? She will be having a new call every other month. You can read all about it on her blog. This time she wanted us to follow a sketch.

One of my new year's resolution is actually to get on the team or at least be a guest designer for Whiff of joy so it is great timing. I will have 6 chances to join this year. Ok, on to my card.

I used papers from a pad that I just fell inlove with. I saw it on a blog somewhere and wanted to get it. I googled it and it was just one place that had them. And they just had 4 pads left, so I got 2, lol. This pad and BG's eskimo is my fav line of all times. I just adore the colourcombo and the patterns are gorgeous. I'm actually saving the rest of the pads for a project that I will keep, like a travelalbum. I got so inspired to use it straight away though and what better reason than a DT call?

I used autumn Charlotte that I got before Christmas. I got 16 stamps from Whiff of joy which I haven't had the chance to use yet. She was the one I wanted to use first since Charlotte&Charlie and the animals drawn by Alison Acton are my favourites. She's also dressed the way I dress so it was fun colouring her. She's me if I would be a cartoon :)

The bird is made using a qk die, CB embossing folder, a flower cut apart and the petals glued on the tail. The pink border is cut out twice with a spellbinder borderabilities and glued opposite eachother.

Charlotte is coloured with my beloved promarkers. I think I did very well colouring her.

I used dimensional glaze and bling on some flowers I cut out from one of the patterned sheets.

I forgot to say that I'm also adding this card to this week's challenge at Simon says stamp with "punch it" as their theme and charismacardz with "fruity colours" as theirs.

Hope you enjoyed my card as much as I did making it. If you like it - leave me a comment. I really apreciate your comments.

Promarkers: blush, oatmeal, ice grey1,3, cool grey5, tea green, cool aqua, duck egg, apple, pear green, baby pink, rose pink, cerise.
Paper: Tiffany's from We r memory keepers
Other: Qk birddie, spellbinders borderabilities, cuttlebug embossing folder, flowers, bling, dimensional glaze. 

Simply love

Hi and happy "little saturday" as wednesdays are called here in Sweden.
I've been working on several cards at the same time lately and yesterday I managed to finish one of them.

I used the colourcombo pink/grey from this week's cute card thursday challenge. I used a part of a house mouse called a spring tail - HMOR1129.  The stamp was one of my latest buys and I love how versatile it is. You get several stamps in one. The paper I used fit the theme at house mouse challenge: "faux grid". I didn't find any sketch that I thought worked so I freestyled. I wanted the silver branch to stand out so this is what I came up with. It's a slightly different card coming from me, but I love the simplicity. When you have beautiful papers - make them do the work :)

Promarkers: ivory, satin, baby pink, dusky rose, antique pink, ice grey1 and 3, blender.
Papers: paperpad "I do" from making memories and pink paper MME Wild asparagus "Pretty little girl".
Other: nestabilities blossom and circle, letter stickers, silver pen.
