Happy Birthday

Found a image stamped and coloured a while ago... Decided to use this one for a card. I also decided that I was going to use this paper from Dream Street Papers. As I almost never use design papers... I am just not good at it... (just buying) But I think I managed okay with this one... I usually find all my design papers in the wrong colour and design.. Can´t seem to match anyone with my coloured papers... Therefore I often make my own papers with stamps, embossing powders and Distress ink pads and a sponge.

Stamps: Magnolia, Stempelglede (sentiment)
Paper: Bazill, Dream Street Papers (Lara Ellingson Design)
Punch: Spellbinder, Autumn Branch (Martha Stewart), Word Window Punch (EK success)
Embelisshment: Hydrangeas from Prima, Roses from Papirloftet
Techniques: colouring image whith Distress Ink refillers, Distressing edges with Tim Holtz distress tool.
Other: Stickles

big HUG from me

Made 20 years ago

I just had to show you! This is a fenjal soap i decorated over 20 years ago.... :)

Went to one of my aunts one of the days before Christmas... and she had something so show me.... So Fun! Just had to take some photos of it. I made this... when I still lived with my parents... I guess I was about 13 or 14 years old when I made this!...

For me It was so fun to see one of theese again... Cause I gave them all away to my aunts and uncles... Not even my mom got one I think.... (Sorry mom)!... And I guess I have to find the boxes, whith all this stuff... Cause I can use all of it for cards also... :) How fun...

Wedding Card

Hello everyone! Just wanted to post a wedding card I was asked to make, for a colleague of my godfather. They were going to celebrate them today at work.

As always with me.. It was a card created at the last minute night time... Soooo much to do before Christmas. And in just a few hours, I´ll leave for work for 6 days... Therefore I have decorated my Christmas Tree already... And my home is quite ready for Christmas... red cloths, candles and so on. And Just right now I listen to Susan Boyle and her album " I dreamed a dream" It is so beautiful... And her voice is stunning! I reccomend it! I will listen to her in my car also... I do have 2 1/2 - 3 hours to drive. The weather is not to good. Snow, wind. And I guess quite slippery on the road. I will take my time, and I am also prepared to wait in the car if the road is closed or something...... (read chocolate and snack :) )

I am sorry for such few comments from me on your blogs lately... I have been visiting... but have not taken the time to comment... I wish everyone in this Blog World a Merry Christmas. I wish you all the Best for the New Year. And I will see you soon!

Merry Christmas!

Hugs Solveig
