Hugs and Kisses

this card is for a blog challenge by Moralia .
Can't get enough of this little Magnolia girl.She is popped up again though it's kind of hard to see it here.I preferred the cuttlebug texture upside down this time.

Sealed with a kiss

I am in love with this magnolia stamp,lol .I really like to play around with it.This time I cut the image out and popped it up and made it more proper for Valentine's ;).I used Nicola's sketch #3 again .I do need some more practising in embossing though UGH!.



Card #2 is for a daily challenge by Cora at Cococat's cardmaking
The challenge is to use only black/white and lime green.The card is made from a sketch by Terri also at Cococat's cardmaking.

card #3 is for another challenge by Cora - use an image of a dog.Suppose to be a real dog ,but we don't have one so I used this new stamp of mine.The collar has a little heart hanging from it so this card is also for Valentine's.The sketch is Nicola's.

XOXO

This card is for a sketch challenge by Nicola .I just realized I put the sentiment down instead of the middle ,but I hope it's okay.The stamps are G studio and I just received them yesterday from Amy at Cococat's cardmaking as my birthday present.Thank you so much Amy.

Here is the beautiful card I received from her.

It's your birthday

I have wanted to try out lace as the dress hem.Today I saw the daily challenge by Cora at Cococat's cardmaking and I had to try it out .Here it is.

A little man

A card I made for our neighbour who had a boy a few weeks ago.The card is made by a sketch #1 by Nicola .I love this sketch it is so easy to work with .The tiny steps are stamped and embossed,not easy to see here.

then 3 birthday cards I have received from friends .The first is from Debbie thank you so much the second is from Connie thank you dear and the third one came all the way from Australia from Melanie together with a great Australian stamping magazine, so much fun thank you so very much to all of you.

I was nominated...

Okay so this is little late but as you all know I was in Finland and I had so many other things to catch up with , I completely forgot about this.
Kirsi nominated me with the blogger award called "You make my day". Thank you so much Kirsi ! Now it's my turn to nominate 10 bloggers who inspire me. Here are some who's work I admire and who are lovely persons as well. There is so many more of you who are a true inspiration,but I tried to pick people who didn't have the award yet on their blog ,or at least I think they haven't .

I have been asked what the picture on my header is. It is a picture I shot in Finland , actually from my parent's balcony.It was the "clearest" day during that week,lol.Yes it was pretty grey all week to say the least.

Trying some new stamps

I bought some really nice stamps in Finland and I had to try them out .
The first card is for a sketch challenge #2 by Nicola . I made it with my new Magnolia stamp. Love this stamp. Colored it by chalks.

The second card is for a daily challenge (January 17th yes I'm a little behind ,lol haven't been here to make any cards ,but better late than....) by Cora at Cococat's Cardmaking
Cora asked us to make a card with some kind of a bird.Thought this stamp would be perfect for this challenge.
