Monday Greetings Challenge - Anythings Goes - GCC092616

Hello Crafty Peeps,

Hope you are all doing very well. I am doing ok, but I wish I had more energy. Lately I have been really tired and went to see a doctor and took some blood work, that came back normal. I guess I have just overworked my body and that it tells me to slow down. I guess it will be back in normal soon (I hope so at least)

This week over at the Outlawz it's the Anything Goes since it's the last week of the month. Our sponsor for this week is QKR Stampede and I choose the "One Year Older" image. I thought it was a fun image and so right to give as a birthday card.

I will keep this entry short and let you enjoy my card instead. Hope to see your creations for this weeks challenge at the Monday Greetings Challenge - Anything Goes.

Until next time, ...................... Craft on !!!!!

Monday Greetings Challenge - Brighten Someone's Day GCC091216

Hello Crafty Peeps,

Another week another challenge is on the way. This weeks theme is Brighten Someone's Day (Get Well) card.

This weeks sponsor is the talented SheepSki Design and I used Flutterby Image 18
and I have also used Freesia Vase Image 39.

I have used both Promarkers and some color pencils and even a little bit of a regular pencil to get some details and texture to it. The colors pencils are the kids so nothing fancy like Faber Castells or other good brands :)

My biggest trouble I have every time I do cards is the background papers. I never know what to do and I always think that I don't have good background papers. I guess I have to look into buying some other backgrounds paper than just colored one. Patterned papers are hard to find since I am picky as well but I guess I will just go with the flow.

Anyways, I will leave you with this weeks cards for you to enjoy and please comment what you think of it, both good and bad :)

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

I have used following Promarkers only:

Tea Green

Grey Green

Denim Blue

Monday Greetings Challenge Fall Colours GCC090516

Hello Crafty Peeps,

Puh, last week is finally over and I have gotten my home back and can sleep in my own bed. Last week we had a TV-production crew take over my house. The children channel has a show called "Fixing the Room" where the kids can get their rooms redecorated in their own way. My boys was chosen out of 3000 applicants. Since my boys share room it was also a bit challenge for the crew, since my oldest wanted something with music since he plays the french horn while my youngest one breaths/play soccer. So they had 2 rooms to finish in one so to speak and they did a fantastic job. It was worth it to have to live at my mom's house for the past week while they where working on the room. Daniel was with the crew from morning until afternoon, helping out with the room. It was all a secret for me so I wasn't able to see the room, hear about the room at all. My youngest son was also with them for a few days helping out on his side of the room. Since this show won't air until Feb/Mar of next year 2017 I will not be able to show you how the whole room looks like, but I have a few pictures that I can show.

Anyways, this weeks challenge theme is Fall Colors, I can NOT believe that we are in the month of September already. Where did the time go and what happened to the summer? Guess it's because I worked all summer it feels strange. Not a big fan of the colder weather but have to admit that I am enjoying the Fall Colors, when I lived in Florida there where no Fall Colors it was green or more green. I like it when the trees starts to change colors and you will see an ocean of green, yellow, red, purple, orange - you name it. There are so many different colors in the Fall.

This weeks sponsors are: Bugaboo Stamps and also Di's Digistamp
The images I chose from the sponsors are: Di's Digistamp Scruffy Kitty and for Bugaboo Stamps I chose Girlz Autumn Blessings

So with further due and until next week ............................... Craft on.

 Scruffy Kitty

 Gilz Autumn Blessing

Here is a sneak peak of how the room turned out. More pictures will be posted when the show has been aired here in Sweden.

Monday Greetings Challenge GCC082916 Anything Goes!

Hello Crafty Peeps,

 I have totally forgotten about last weeks challenge over at the Monday Greetings. This past weeks challenge theme was Anything Goes. We all had the same sponsor but some of us choose different images and some the same.
The sponsor for this weeks challenge was Rick St.Dennis and the image I chose to use is called Vivienne Hat.

Anyways, until next time..................... Craft on.

Hello Cupcakes - Lili of the Valley

Hello Crafties,

A couple of weeks ago I got this freebie image Hello Cupcakes from Lili of the Valley on the Kit and Clowders Facebook page, and when I saw that Twisted Thursday at The Outlawz had a challenge with the twisted add of cupcakes I thought I would color this new cute freebie.

I really enjoyed coloring this image and the mojo just came to me while I was coloring her and just went with the flow. I really love how the whole card turned out. I think the colors match each other just perfectly.

Anyways, I will leave you with my take on the image and card for you to enjoy and maybe inspire someone out there.

Until next time ..................................... craft on!!!

Monday Greetings Challenge - Use colors Purple and Green - GCC082216

Hello Crafties,

Puh, another week is starting and this week will be busy. I have to organize and clean my whole house due to a tv-show is coming to our house and are re-doing my son's room. They are doing a whole new room for them and the boys have decided what they want and I have no clue what they are going to do in their room or what colors etc.

Anyhow, this weeks challenge was a though one. I started out coloring the image I had gotten, and suddenly something felt terribly wrong so I went to check on the theme for the week and there it was: "Use colors Purple and Green". So I had to start all over again, but luckily I only had colored the face, hair and flower so it wasn't so bad. The only challenge was to stick with the colors Purple and Green. I think and feel like I have done a good job, sometimes when you have an image and there is something on the image or behind it that you have no idea if it belongs to the image or if it's something completely different and doesn't belong to the image. Anyways, it is always tricky when you don't know what the artist itself means, but sometimes that could be a challenge on it's own to figure it out and make it your special detail.

Anyways, I will leave you with this weeks sponsor Crafty Sentiment and the image Scilla - Fairy that I have done for this weeks challenge. I hope you would come and join in on our weeks challenge. If you feel like you would like to be a Guest Designer, please don't hesitate to contact me or send me a comment saying that you are interesting.

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