Happy birthday, Susie!

Three years ago I had a baby girl at 22:23....I can't believe she is 3 already! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SUSIE!

Papertake Weekly Sketch #34

Just a quick post from me today. I made this card last week for my neighbour who was 5 on Saturday. I used this weeks sketch from Papertake Weekly Challenge blog, and have until tonight to enter it into this weeks challenge....

Thanks for looking!

Sketch Saturday Challenge #89 & Charisma cardz wk 6

Ahhh... I just put the girls to bed, and it's already quiet! Bliss!! I had to bring Susie with me to Maja's riding lesson today, that may have tired them both out... lol...

The challenge over at Charisma cardz this week is "Think male" and I have used this weeks sketch from the Sketch Saturday challenge blog for this card. It's for my brother's birthday on Saturday. Hope he doesn't look at my blog before then... I should have mailed something to him a few days ago, but you know how it is... leave everything to the absolutely last minute... I'll put it in the post tomorrow...
I usually find it really hard to make cards for men, but this one came together surprisingly easy, for a male card that is...

Just a detail of the card. I used silver gel pen to make the line on the black flowers and around the circle and sentiment. The sentiment and image are also popped up on 3d foam. The blue paper is pearlescent, so it shimmers real nicely in real life...

Thanks for looking. And I really appreciate all your nice comments.

Friday Sketchers #87

A morning post for a change. Maja is at school, Per is at work and poor Susie wasn't feeling well yesterday and is still asleep. Better use my time well though 'cause she'll probably wake up soon...

Work is still fine even though some days are really challenging.... Teaching isn't always a walk on the bright side... Well, enough of that... here's my card for the Friday Sketchers challenge this week.
I finally managed to ink up my "Me Time" Anya by The Greeting Farm. I won the "Me Time" set on a blog hop at Amy's blog (you better go and have a look, she's awesome!) ages ago and have just waited for an opportunity to ink her up....

I used some shimmering water colour for the foam and her head band and slippers. I guess you see it a bit better on the bottom picture.
