.: Happy Birthday....to me! :.

Happy birthday to me..! Happy birthday to me...! Happy birthday to meee...Happy birthday to...ME!! ; )

Yes..it´s my birthday...my annual 27th birthday. Even thou my drivers licens tell differently... ; )

And it´s also time for another Super Skechy Sunday at 365 Cards! Weehoo for that!
Here´s my take on the sketch. No rebel at all this week.

And here´s a close-up on the sentiment...

..which is one of three digis from Shannon´s Sentiments that I´ve used on the card. The other ones are the label (that holds the sentiment ) and the little tag hanging in the upper left corner.



And the sketch then...Fab one - as always, I might add! Pam seems to have unlimited inspiration to come up with new ones for us to play with.



And don´t forget to run over to 365 Cards to see all fantastic dt sample cards. You don´t want to miss that!





Ok..that was all for today.. Now I´m off to continue celebrate my birthday.

Sweet sunshine, the whole day off, friends coming over for a BBQ later on...Sounds like a good day to me! = )

.: Never-Ending Card...+ lite annat smått och gott :.

Hej, hej...! Blev ett blogginlägg till idag då... ; ) Måste ju visa upp bilder på det Never-Ending Card som jag gjorde igår på scrappträffen. Det var dessutom flera tjejer som ville få en liten snabb "kurs" på hur man gör dessa kort...så jag demade den här vikningen inte bara en, utan två gånger, igår. Men nu skall jag inte babbla på mer utan låta er titta på bilderna istället... Det här är framsidan.....
...och när man viker utt den första gången, möts man av det här uppslaget...
...vik upp en gång till och du ser detta...
..och vik en vända till och du ser sista uppslaget...
...och vik upp en sista gång och du kommer tillbaka till där du började. Helt magiskt!...och superkul att göra!

En tutorial på den här vikningen kommer upp här i bloggen under veckan.... ; )


******

Sen vill jag passa på att visa ett kort till som jag gjort. Tyvärr såg jag nu att jag missat tre små prickar...de över å och ö... ; ) Så det kan gå! Men inte orkar jag fota om kortet för den sakens skull, så ni får hålla tillgodo med "pricklöst"..

Det här kortet slängde jag ihop till dagens första tävling på träffen...deadline var fem minuter senare...men jag fick dispens med ett par minuter till. Från start till färdigt kort tog det mindre än 10 minuter iallafall...snabbscrappat, men jag är nöjd!
Här ser man att jag lagt crackle accent på fjärilen...det blir så fin effekt tycker jag.


Nåå...nu har jag inte så mycket mer att bjuda på för stunden. Men välkommen tillbaka fler gånger!


Kram!

.: It´s Sunday..and the sun is shining! :.

Yes!!! It´s a gorgeous Sunday here in Sweden. The sun is shining and the birds are singing....and all my kids are out playing! Don´t get any better than this! = ) Yesterday, I was attending a crop in Eskilstuna. It was so well organized, lovely people, fun challenges and we also had the chance on doing some shopping. I would like to say a big Thank you! to Camilla for inviting me to the crop. The last challenge of the day, was to use a self-made flower on a card or LO. My card won the second prize and I´m soo happy for that! Thanks to all who woted on my card! * blow kisses* Today I´m gonna show that card..for it so happens, that I combined that challenge with todays sketch at 365 Cards. Unfortunately, my printer is down with a flu or something...So, I could not use one of the lovely digis from Digital Delights - this weeks sponsor. But, if you take a peek at 365 Cards, you´ll see some dt sample cards using their digis. Ok, enough rambling...time to show my card, don´t you think! = ) And here´s the sketch I used...ok, I have to confess to being a bit of a rebel. But I think a little twisting and turning of the sketch is in place... ; )

And the place, to see more dt sample cards and even the chance to play along, is, of course, 365 Cards. The best place to find new inspiration in your cardmaking!


Have a wonderful Sunday everyone!

Now I´m off to do some gardening! = )

.:Spring is in the air! :.

Hi...nice of you to drop by this lovely Sunday!
Today I´m gonna share my card for the Sunday Sketch at 365 Cards. We also have a new fantastic sponsor this week....it´s The Stamping Boutique, and the gave us girls some lovely digis to play with. I chose this sweet little Easter bunny. As the rebel I am, I turned the sketch to better suit me. = ) But I guess no-one is surprised about that... I used a designer paper with some gorgeous wood anemone on. That is something that clearly signals "spring" to me. The bunny is colored with distress ink and waterbrush and I think "she" is soo, soo sweet! Oh, the sentiment..it´s in swedish and means "Happy Easter". Don´t forget to go check out all other dt sample cards on 365 Cards. I´m sure there are plenty of inspiration there.
Have a wonderful day!

Hugs, Sophia

.: Heart Song Design and Sunday Sketch :.

Hi and hello...! ; )

Nice of you to drop by here. Hope I have something to show that might inspire you today.


Once again, the days just seem to have flown by, and it´s Sunday again. Someone pleeeeaaase stop time a little!....or, at least throw in a few extra hours per day. Ok..you say I have to settle with this. Alrighty then... = )


Sunday..and that calls for a new fab sketch at 365 Cards. I usually love Pam´s sketches, and this one is no exception. It´s one that opens for plenty of free interpretation. I rotated the sketch a bit, but other than that, I stuck quite good with it. And here it is.... I used a digi from our sponsor this week - Heart Song Designs - and it´s called "Love Birds". Colored with distress inkpads and waterbrush. And if you wish to join us in our fun sketch challenge...here´s the sketch for this Sunday. Enjoy!


Hope you´ll stop by at 365 Cards to check out all other awsome dt sample cards. You know...we have some amazingly talentad ladies on the team!



Thanks for stopping by!


I´d wish for you to take the time to leave me a little note. It´s always nice to read your comments.



Ok...have the best day ever!....and hope to see you back here soon.

.: Sketchy and Sassy Sunday:.


Hi and welcome!
Since it´s Sunday today, I guess it´s time for another Super Sketch on 365 Cards.
And we also have a new fab sponsor with the most adoreable digis - Sassy Studio Design.
They gave us som lovely ones to play with and for this challenge I chose "Hippie Chic 2".

Here´s the sketch provided....gorgeous one, right? Think this is one sketch that I´ll be using over and over... ; )

...and my take on it...with sweet "Hippie Chic 2".
And look! No "Rebel"-take this week! Guess Rose will be a little bit disappointed... ; )



Ok..what´s new this week, is that I abandoned my loved distressinks, for the benefit of my old Promarkers. Haven´t used them for almost a year now and it felt a bit strange.... but it worked out ok didn´t it?
I put some Glossy Accent on the flowers and her eyes and even some on parts of her hair...just enough to highlighten it a bit.



I also want to take the opportunity to welcome threee new ladies to our team. It is DoBea Alberts, Jennifer Greco and Annie Ling. It´s soo nice to have you girls on the team!
And as for the rest of you..don´t miss the chance to see these ladies first cards for 365 Cards..or the other dt sample cards either for that sake. ; )
Hope you liked my card and maybe found some inspiration....please feel free to drop a line or two,before you leave. It is much appreciated!
~LOVE ~

.: ..and lovely Sunday! :.

Sunday..and time for another Super Sketchy Sunday at 365 Cards.
And this is the sketch to be inspired by. Lovely, right?



...and my result is this! Soft colors of brown and lilac. But I guess the little Rebel in me just had to alter the sketch a little bit..... ; )

The sentiment is a swedish stamp that i just looove! I gave it some extra dimension by putting it on pop-dots.


Well..that was it for today. I´m a bit tired...right now it´s in the middle of the night here in Sweden and I have had a party at my house. The guests left just an hour ago.... Plenty of yummy food, wonderful music , drinks and good friends! What else to ask for, right? = )
Hope you´ll run off to 365 Cards to see all the other dt sample cards and I also hope you´ll join us on this sketch challenge.

.: Sweet Saturday :.

Hi everyone!
It´s ok...I haven´t lost track of the days or something...I know it´s Saturday...and yet here I am with a brand new card for 365 Cards! = )

Pam needed someone to take on the challenge for today and I kind of liked the idea of trying something a little bit different from a sketch.

The challenge for today is to "Keep it Simple!" - add pattern paper to the front of the card, add one sentiment and one embellishment. That´s it!
I brought out the Rebel in me and here´s the result. ; )

Gorgeous Graphic45 papers in layers...I even used them to create my flower.



A close-up on my flower.
Ok...I think Rose will be delighted to see me being a Rebel...and if Gloria sees this, I think she will be pleased to. = )
Tomorrow I´ll be back with yet another card....Hope to see you all back here then!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Oh...just a quick reminder..I simply loooove to see your comments on my work and i would love to return your visit. so please, leave a little something so I know you´ve been here.

.: First sketch of the new "365 Cards"-year :.

Hi and hello!
Time to kick off the new 365 Cards year with the fresh and fun sketch!


And here´s my take on it...sweet Webster´s Page papers and soft colors....mmm...love it!
I also just loooove the sentiment in the middle. So, so wise words!


Ok...this is probably my shortest post ever..but today I don´t have time to be online very long.
Soo...thanks for looking...and don´t forget to have a look at all other dt sample cards over at 365 Cards ( and to play along! ). They are fab!

.. A 365 Cards year is coming to an end :.

Hi and Hello...!
Yepp...that´s true.
Today is day 364 and that means it´s my last post for this 365 Cards year.
But, you don´t have to worry...I´ll be back next Sunday as I have decided to stay on the team for another year....

This week we are welcoming back a wonderful sponsor - Robyn´s Fetish. They sponsored the team with some lovely digis and they are also offering one lucky winner a great prize.

Pam gave us a fab sketch to play with and I liked it very much...no neeed to twist and turn or whatsoever....! ; )


And here´s my take on the sketch. I used two of the digis from Robyn´s Fetish - the frame and the little sheep.
The frame is printed onto pattern paper and then cut out by hand and the sweet little sheep is colored with distress ink pads and waterbrush.


I kept it quite CAS, don´t you think? Oh, by the way... the sentiment is swedish and it says "Glad Påsk" or, "Happy Eastern". The lovely daffodils are a new find from Wild Orchid Crafts. Just looooove them!


Here´s a chance to take a closer look at the digis from Robyn´s Fetish....soo wonderful and versatile!
Hope you found some inspiration.
Tomorrow is the last day of this 365 Cards year and it´s also the last chance to take a look at Gloria´s fab work since she´s leaving us. Don´t miss out on that.
And something else you don´t want to miss is our DT-Call....! Woo-hoo...!
If you are interested in becoming one of our new team members, check out the conditions HERE .

Ok, now I´m off to have breakfast with my family... See ya!

.: Seven Sketches Week ...Sunday :.

Hi and hello! = )
Valentine´s Day...! Wow, how fast did not that day come?!
At 365 Cards we wanted to celebrate Valentine a little bit extra, soo, we decided to have a 7 Sketches Week just for that occasion. Great huh? = )

We´re kicking off with this fantabulous sketch by Wendi. Way to go girl! I´d like to subscribe to a sketch every week from you I think... ; )


And the result then..... Taa-daa!
All Valentine-themed, bright colored and very romantic!


I´ll give you the chance to have a little closer look at the gorgeous sentiment. It´s a Swedish stamp I bought a couple of months ago. I just looove it!

Ok... that´s all I had to show today. But I do hope you run off to check out all the other dt samples at 365 Cards. The ladies always have tons of inspiration to share....!
Have a wonderful day!..and thanks for looking.

.: Sunday Attitude...once more! :.

Hi everyone...!
Hope you had a great weekend, so far.
I´m struggeling to take care of my family...they´ve got the flu and have been sick for the last week and a half. Luckily, I´m the one that´s managed to stay well...

Today, I´m gonna show you the card I made for the Sketch Challenge at 365 Cards.
We are also having us a wonderful sponsor ..."Digis With a Attitude"...and I choose to work with one of their images this time. ( Two weeks ago, they were sponsoring us, and I then chosed to work with only a sentiment )

And this is the lovely sketch for this week. Clean and simple...ready to make your own interpretations. Pam, it´s fabbie!

And this is what I came up with yesterday. The image is one of the digis from "Digis With a Attitude" and I have colored her with my distress inkpads and a waterbrush.
I´m not completely satisfied with the coloring...but it´ll have to do. I wish I could get the hair to be more black...like raven black, you know. Someone out there who can give me a hint on how to do that...?




And here´s a close up on the image. I´ve used a small clearstamp with stars and stamped randomely around the girl. The sentiment is from another set of clearstamps...Inkadinkado I belive.

Ok...that was it. Now I´m only praying the internet will work long enough for me to get this posted. It´s been on and off at it´s own will for a few days now....I´m soo tired of that!!!
Oh...it´s working!
Bye, bye...
