Hi!

I wanted to join in the current challenge at A blog named Hero where you are challenged to case a Hero Arts Artist. The challenge wasn't to make this card, but to choose which artist to case and then which of their many fabulous cards - they are so amazingly talented I wanted to case so many. Finally I settled on this wonderful card by Jennifer McGuire ;

 

 

 

It was so fun I might come back and do another one soon (-:

 

 

Edited; I'm also entering this for the Hero Arts challenge - because I was inspired by their blogpost http://heroarts.com/blogs/club/2013/01/22/time-to-try-something-new/ and the wonderful leafy vines stamp is in the Stamp Your story catalogue page 13!

 

Have a great Sunday everyone!

Have a happy - 5th - Birthday!

Today I've made a card for CAS-ual Friday's  challenge called "Count me in". Since it is a summery birthday card I'm also entering it for The birthday card challenge at Moxie Fab World.

Åstol

Just got back from a wonderful and relaxing week on Åstol, a tiny fisherman's island off the west coast of Sweden and thought I'd share some pictures. We rented a house with a view of the ocean (hard not to have on this island (-; ) and it was fantastic except for one thing - I was promised internet, but when we got there it was down - so now I am behind on commenting and checking what everyone has been up to (-: Will try to catch up ASAP!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hope you are enjoying your summer too, hugs, Karin
