Lawn Fawn CHA Winter 2013 Challenge


 
 
 


I created this Lawn Fawn card for the fun ; Lawn Fawn CHA Winter 2013 Challenge! To go to CHA would be a dream come true - so I might just post this and send it to myself (-:
 I'm also showing it off here:
Hanna & Friends - Animals

My Mum's Craft shop - 3E - #85 Inspiration from a song
We sing happy birthday to you

And may all your dreams come true


  
Hope you are having a wonderful Sunday evening and a great week to look forward to!

Lawn Fawn CHA Winter 2013 Challenge!

 
 
Hi! Popping in to post one of my favorite Lawn Fawn cards.  You might have seen it before, but I created a new bg for it so I can enter it for the super fun; Lawn Fawn CHA Winter 2013 Challenge! I'd LOVE to go in person one day, but till then I'd be super happy if at least one of my cards could  (-:
 
For my card I used Claire's ABC's and Critters in the burbs - Aren't they just the cutest??? - Well I adore all the critters sets - all so perfect for creating sweet little scenes that will make the person who gets your card smile really wide. I'm posting another card right after this where I've used critters down under - hope you'll like it! Have a great evening, hugs, Karin

WMSC # 125

Hi!
There's a new sketch to play with at the Waltzing Mouse Stamps Sketch challenge. -Yippie!




Don't you just LOVE this sketch from our super talented Mischief Maker Jean Martin:




I fell in love with this sketch first time I saw it and I imagined I'd make something beautiful and romantic with lots of lace and bows and flowers. I guess that just isn't me because I had all of that out on my desk but then I start taking away and taking away - and ended up with this - I still have not accepted that it didn't come out the way I had planned, but I just hope you'll like it anyway.
Good thing is I really don't need to worry because only one click away I can guarantee amazing inspiration from the rest of the Mischief Makers and some of the DT's   + that's where you'll find all the info you need to participate and your chance to win a full set of WMS of your choice - go  HERE!
For my card I used Waltzing Mouse Stamps from Li'l Buddies and Fancy Frames. The patterned papers I used are from PTI and Prima.
I also used inspiration from the challenges at:
the Ribbon Reel (pic above)
Divas by Design - 2E - #62 Use 2 or more Patterned Papers
 
 
Have a great day, hugs, Karin!

I'll be with you wherever you go!

I'm just here to share a song I love listening to right now - I know it's in Swedish but I just think it's such a great recording and hope you'll like it anyway. It is about the good feeling of coming home to someone you love and about being there for eachother but also about knowing you take someone for granted and wanting things to be like when you were younger. Have a great Saturday, hugs, Karin

I'm back!


So sorry for having been so bad at returning comments this past week and a half. I've been on vacation to the United Arab Emirates with my family and where we stayed internet access was super expensive )-:





We had the most wonderful time and I just wish we could have stayed longer. To come back from 39C (air) and 30C (water) to  a cold and rainy November-Gothenburg was NO fun at all.

Have to rush to work now but will be back tomorrow with a sample for the Waltzing Mouse Sketch challenge!
Have a great Friday, hugs, Karin
