MONDAY GREETINGS CHALLENGE - GCC062617 - ANYTHING GOES

Hello my Crafty Peeps,


Wow, what a weekend I have had. During this weekend we have a traditional holiday here in Sweden called Midsummer. We eat and dance and have fun with friends and families. We decorate a midsummer pole with flowers and leaves and dance around it and sing songs. We also eat traditional Midsummer food which are following: herring, potatoes, chive and sour cream, and for dessert you eat strawberries with cream.


Anyways, I had an extra day off this past Friday and it was lovely. Now here we are with another week starting and a new challenge over at the Monday Greetings. This weeks sponsor is our talented Creative Bug, and my image is called Ms. Sunshine.


I do hope to see you all in the Monday Greetings Challenge for this week, since it is Anything Goes you can put in your card in the challenge to be eligibly to win.
So with further due I will leave you with my take on this challenge.


Until next time ......................................................................Craft on.

Monday Greetings Challenge - Use more than 2 layers - GCC101716

Hello my Crafty Peeps,

Wow, I can't believe it is already Monday again. I have gotten more energy after I have visit another Dr and getting a second opinion. Thank God for doing that. Instead off increasing on depressive medicine he ordered me to increase my medicine for my Thyroid. Just the day after I had more energy and more and more has come for each day. Having problems with your thyroid is not an easy thing, but I am glad I went and got a second opinion.

Anyways, lets go on with this weeks challenge. For this week the theme is Use more than 2 layers, here you can really get creative and find your mojo in doing cards that you have been wanting to do. Is it to start with more Christmas card, or Birthday cards?? What ever it is it's a great opportunity to do that this week and enter Monday Greetings at the same time.

This weeks sponsors are: Angies Cards and Digis and also Creative Bug and each of them are having fabulous prices to the winner.
For the Angies Cards and Digis I choose to use: Daisy May Pumpkin Carving and the background paper I used on this card is actually one of my DTs own work. If you want to download her digital paper as a Freebie visit Pat Matins blog and show her some love when you get this lovely paper.
For the Creative Bug I choose to use: Mrs. Sunshine. The latter I chose to use Faber Castell Polychromos pencils for.

I have been wanting to try out real pencil markers as an addition to my Promarker pens. I finally got a really good deal off of Ebay and so I ordered them and have had them in the box for weeks now. I have been scared to even try them on. I wanted to try how they felt to color with since I know a lot of people using them and their work is magnificent. So, I decided that I would try one of the image for this weeks challenge, and I got pretty satisfied on how it turned out when it was done.

I would love to hear what you think of my first time ever coloring with Faber Castell's Polychromos, so please show me some love and let me know your thoughts.

Anyways, I will leave you with this weeks cards that I have done.... and as always........ Craft on!!

Monday Greetings Challenge - Summer Beach Party

Hello again my crafty peeps,

Wow, it's Monday already and that means of course we have another challenge starting today at The Outlawz and Monday Greetings.

This week we are privilege to have 2 sponsors again. It is so much fun when we have more than one sponsor to make cards for, but the only problem I see is that I don't know what to do with all my cards. Hm, I have to figure out what to do. I do try to sell them as well, but I am making more than I sell.

Anyhow, this weeks sponsors are the following:

 Eureka Stamps

Creative Bug Digital Stamps

In the Eureka Stamps I chose to use: digi20106 Beach Girl 

I really enjoyed coloring her up and liked the way I choose to layout the rest. I chose to use stamps in the corners from DIGISTAMPS4JOY

This card my son's music teacher got last Friday since it was the last time before summer vacations. I thought the card was on the spot with that sentiment as well since school is out now and it is summer vacation.

 For our sponsor over at Creative Bug I choose to color the image Time Well Spent.

I thought this image was good with the theme, since it's summer and I have such lovely memories when I was a child. I can remember to go out fishing on my grandpa's boat and make a fire to cook the fish we caught and eat it for dinner the same day. 

Colors I have used using Promarker:

Face: Coral, Sunkissed Pink, Blush

Hair: Cocoa, Cinnamon

Bathing Suite: Rose Pink, Baby Pink

Floaty: Canary, Buttercup, Pink, Forest Green, Bright Green.
