Ms Ivy...

The parent's meetings at school are finally over and done, so hopefully things will calm down a bit now. The weather here is changing between really hot spring days, to snowy and windy, to wet and cold... You never know what the next day is going to be like.... and it will also change between all the types of weather in the one and same day.... can't wait for the weather to settle down a bit too... lol...

I have made this card for challenge #203 over at Sketch Saturday, so obviously, I have used their sketch...

Image is Ivy KETTO. Isn't she cute. I got her from a friend (thank you!!). Coloured with Promarkers. I have also used a couple of different paper tapes from Panduro for the vertical stripes. Sentiment from Kort & Godt. And as a final touch, I have added some Liquid Pearls (you can see it a bit better on the pic below) and some bling...

Thanks for looking.

Sketch Saturday week #93

I think spring must be right around the corner... the weather has been brilliant for days now. Today I took my coffee and a book with me outside, so I could sit and enjoy the sunshine while Susie was playing in the big heaps of snow still in the car park outside our house. And it was actually sunny all through Maja's riding lesson this afternoon. Weeheee! Maja's class has just started galloping now (2nd time today), and I don't think I have ever seen anyone with a smile as BIG as Maja's when the horse picks up some speed... lol...

Well, over to my card... The sketch I have used is from this weeks challenge over at Sketch Saturday.
The image is a digi I found on the net a while ago, I didn't note down from where... It's coloured with watercolour pencils.

Thanks for looking and taking the time to leave me a wee comment!

Sunny days and Sketch Saturday challenge #53

Would you look at that.... my counter has passed 10 000... wow! A big thanks to everyone that pops by to say hello.

We've had a few REALLY nice days here over the week end. Hubby was off, for a change, and we spent the days together outside. One of the days we went to a park not too far from where we live, where we could look at farm animals and "play" with the goats. The girls loved stroking the goats and feeding them grass.As you can see, the weather was perfect for a day out...

We brought a barbecue and some sausages.... that way we didn't even have to go home for dinner....

The girls have had their first swim in a small lake not far from here too... and, to my surprise the water wasn't too bad/cold either... I hope summer is here to stay...

Although the weather has been really nice I've managed to squeeze in some card making (late in the evenings, after the sun has set and the girls have gone to bed...). I found it so fun to do the Sketch Saturday challenge last week that I decided to have another go this week. Here is my contribution to this weeks sketch.

I couldn't resist using this bright yellow after all the sunshine... Again, I've used my new "spring girls" stamps from Panduro. Coloured with water colour pencils.

The sentiment is mounted on pop dots, and I added some gems for a bit of "bling"...

And look... I managed to add my signature... (got it from here)

Sketch Saturday Challenge no 52

This card is for this weeks Sketch Saturday challenge. It's the first time I participate in this challenge.
I've used one of my new "spring girl" stamps from Panduro. The bucket of flowers is from the same set. The image is coloured with water colour pencils, and one of the flower buckets are mounted on pop dots.

This was a fun sketch to work with. Hope I've done it right... I appreciate your comments. Thanks.
