Time flies and it is time to introduce a new sketch at the Waltzing Mouse Stamps Sketch challenge. This week we have a great sketch from Lynn - To me it looked like letters tied together and I decided to make some beautiful envelopes instead of a card this week. I used stamps from Teeny Trees, Compliments of the season and French Country.

Now head over to the WMS challenge blog for wonderful inspiration from the other Mischief Makers -and to join in the challenge of course. You can win a full large set of WaltzingMouse stamps!

Have a great week-end, hugs, Karin

Spectacular Spectacles of the 80's

There's a fun challenge at Moxie Fab World - again!!! . At first I thought I wouldn't join because I couldn't come up with anything that wasn't already in the inspirational pictures or in the latest issue of Paper Crafts - but then, yesterday - when we had really nice weather here for the first time this spring I went to to get my sunglasses and found all the old ones I used to wear when I was younger - much younger...

It's probably not really what Cath is looking for, and to my disappointment my DH couldn't tell what  clebs I was trying to picture before I put out the names... Well, well, I had a lot of fun making it  (-:
For my card I used stamps from Hero Arts and Wilson's Designs and the stickers are from Crate Paper.
I'm entering this card for the "anything goes" challenge at Simon Says Stamp challenge too.

Hope you too are enjoying the sun today, hugs, Karin

Life!!

There's a wonderful inspiration card at Case Study (see below)  by one of my favorite designers, Laurie Schmidlin and I juat had to give it a try. This is the result:

Wanted to combine it with the glitter challenge at Unity Opportunity so I used stamps from Ippity and Unity. Book it and What matters most.


I'm also entering this for the "Anything goes" challenges at Simon Says stamp and Aud sentiments;

Just got home from work and I'm super tired (the rest of the evening is going to be spent on the couch!) , but I just wanted to pop in here first to post a card I made yesterday.

I was inspired by the TT picture from Moxie Fab World, the challenge to use two die cuts at Crafty Friends and the view/window challenge at A blog named Hero.

Make a wish!

This time at Lawnscaping we are to create a scene - and there just aren't any better stamps for that than Lawn Fawn's. I still have plenty of ideas in my head but unfortunately not a lot of crafting time

For my card I used Critters Ever After, Critters in the Forest and Bon Voyage and the patterned paper is LF Bright Side.

Have a great week, hugs, Karin

Home sweet Home!

Happy Sunday!

With very little crafting time I decided to try and combine some of my favorite Unity/Ippity challenges in one card. I used the sketch (flipped upside down) from Chick Challenges, the colors Pink, green and off white for the new Unity Stamp Company challenge and I made it sparkle for Unity Opportunity.
