Flashback Friday!

Totally forgot to post this for the fun challenge Flashback Friday where we are to show off the first of something we've created and posted to our blog. This month's challenge is "First Tag" - and the first tag I've ever made is this one from last year's PTI november bloghop: HERE is a link to that post!

I pine for you!

Oh nooo - Yesterday I got my new Lawn Fawn stamps which was a big YIPPIEEE and I started right away to make this card for the PaperPiecing Challenge at Lawnscaping. Did not cross my mind to check the due date till this morning before I went off to work and saw that it's TONIGHT. Got home at 6pm, finished the card and by that time it was pitch black outside. Now I've been trying different lamps, different backgrounds, different everything but finally had to give up. This picture does not make the card justice, but it is the best of a 100 bad ones )-: Well, well...

I'll come back and change the picture on Saturday when I'm home during daylight! Hope someone will come and check it out then (-:

I'm also entering this card for the anything goes challenges at Simon Says stamp and the Kraft Journal

Have a great night, hugs Karin

You are Unique!

This is the super fun picture to be inspired by at Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge:  and I couldn't help myself - I've already made two cards for that challenge. This is the second one.
At Wee Memories it is "Free for all" challenge this week and at Kraft Outlet it is "anything goes"! I used Nina's sketch (flipped upside down) at Lily Pad Cards as inspiration.

Hugs from Karin

Hang in There!

There's a super fun picture to be inspired by at Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge.
