I love you

Idag är jag på kattutställning så det är bara att hålla tummarna att det går bra.

Medan jag är på utställning så passar jag på att schemalägga ett inlägg här där jag visar upp veckans kort från The Paper Nest Dolls. Denna gång har jag färlagt bilder med akvarellfärg, eller nått liknande i alla fall.

-----------------------

Now it's time for this weeks post for The Paper Nest Dolls. 
I have made this card with a cure stamp called Girl With Kite. For a change I colored the image using my Distress Markers and a water brush. Kind of like the effect it gave. Hope you like it.

12 weeks and moving

Ja nu var det den tiden igen. Kattungarna har blivit stora och ska flytta i helgen. Tiden har verkligen gått fort. I dag fick de sig ett bad och i morgon bär det iväg till Östersund för en dags kattutställning. Får se hur det går för de små. Tror inte att de direkt kommer vinna nått, men det är ju intressant att höra vad domarna tycker ändå.

---------------------------

My kittens have turned 12 weeks and are ready to move to their new homes now. Their new families are coming this weekend to pick them up. But first we are going to the cat show in town just to hear what the judges think of the little ones. Hopefully they'll like them just as much as I do :)

Old, New, Borrowed, and Blue Blog Hop

Welcome to Day 1 of the Old, New, Borrowed, and Blue Blog Hop!

For my project today, I made a blue card using the image of Avery in her wedding dress. I colored the image with my copic markers and used a super cute die from spellbinders.

 

Wedding bells will soon be ringing as the wedding season is almost here, and the design teams of Red Carpet Studio and The Paper Nest Dolls have teamed up to provide you with some beautiful wedding inspiration by creating projects using Paper Nest Dolls digital stamps! If you've just come across the hop and would like to start at the beginning, please visit Red Carpet Studio.

Idag är det dags att via ett nytt kort från The Paper Nest Dolls. Tyckte denna lilla älvflicka var så söt så jag valde att göra ett kort med henne.  

-----------------------
 
Today I want to show you a new card I made with an image from The Paper Nest Dolls. I got some wonderful stamps from The Paper Nest to work with and I chose this cute little fairy called "Faerie With Flower Umbrella". Isn't it the most adorable image?

This card is made using some great patterned papers from the Echo Park Sweet Day Collection. I just loved this 6x6 paper pad and I think they worked so well together with the digital image.

As usual the image is colored with Copic Markers and unfortunately I can't remember what colors I used. For some reason I always forget to write that down and by the time I put my markers back I forget which one I used.

On the little fairy wings I added some diamond stickles as a final touch. Love the way they turned out.

Hope you like the card

And here is my card for today. It is a very simple and fast card, but sometimes I like to keep it really simple. Maybe I should have done some coloring to the leaves and the flower to make it "pop" a little more, but I am not sure. Perhaps I'll add some color to it later. :)

Freja

För några dagar sedan fick jag hemma en ny liten dam från SE*Prima Doll's.
Hon heter Freja och är en jättesöt liten tjej som jag bara inte kunde låta bli att ta hem. Hon har något speciellt och jag ser fram emot att följa hennes utveckling.

-------------------

A few days ago I brought home a new girl from SE*Prima Doll's.
Her name is Freja and she is a very sweet little girl with a lot of personality.
She is adorable and I just had to have her :)

7 weeks

Som vanligt är jag seg och glömmer att lägga ut bilderna på kattungarna.
De är ju nu 9 veckor gamla, men bilderna från 7 och 8 veckor är inte utlagda.

Så här kommer de bilderna.

Senare i dag, eller i morgon kommer de nya bilderna på dem.

----------------------------

As usual I am slow and forget to post the photos of my kittens. They are now 9 weeks old and I still haven't posted the 7 and 8 week photos. So here they are. New photos will be posted as soon as possible

Thank You

Idag gjorde jag ett enkelt tack-kort. Är altlid bra att ha lite enkla kort med ett tack på, man vet aldrig när man kan behöva ett.

--------------------

Today I mage a card for a challenge over at CASE Study.
I made a very simple card with a bit of easter inspiration as fas as color goes. I am not a big fan of yellow and orange, but this time I tried to use some of my orange inks. I think it worked out pretty nice.

The card is made with some orange and white cardstock from Bazzill, stamps from October Afternoon and gel-á-tins and the color I used is Distress Ink in Spiced Marmalade. I used some stickles and marker in the same color to add some accents.
