Nostalgia Mermaid

Er litt på etterskudd med kortet mitt på grunn av en langvarig migrene, og bildene ble tatt litt slurvete så jeg fikk ikke helt frem at det er utrolig mye shimmer i fargene! Prøv og se for deg at den gulfargete bakgrunnen egentlig er gull, og det er shimmer i alt 😊 Kortet er DT bidrag hos Creative Fingers #195., og det nydelige motivet er fra vår sponsor Ching-Chou Kuik. 

Jeg har brukt et gummistempel fra Sweet Pea Stamps som ikke eksisterer lengre, men man kan kjøpe det som digistempel fra etsy shoppen hennes her! Som alltid har vi et 'Lag-hva-du-vil' tema, og velkommen skal du være ❤️

 

I'm a day behind with my DT card for this fortnights challenge #195. at Creative Fingers, as I've had a longlasting migraine.. My photos were a bit off too, so just imagine that the yellow actually is a bright shiny gold and everything is all shimmery 😊

The gorgeous motif is from our sponsor Ching-Chou Kuik. I used a rubberstamp called 'Nostalgia' from the discontinued CCK collection at Sweet Pea Stamps, but it is now available in her digistore on etsy as part of a collection of four images, wich you can find here! As always it is an 'Anything goes theme', and you are more than welcome to join with your creations ❤️ ...

Espresso yourself!

 

Jeg begyndte ikke å drikke kaffe før jeg var godt over tredve, og enda foretrekker jeg pepsi max før kaffe ~ bortsett fra når jeg får en god kopp med noe 'ekstra' oppi.. som caffe latte! karamell & fløte, eller en iskaffe latte *nam* 💗

Kaffe Kortet mitt er DT bidrag hos Creative Fingers #193., med et flott motiv fra vår sponsor Jan's Digi Stamps. Som alltid har vi et 'Lag-hva-du-vil' tema, og velkommen skal du være :)

 

 

A coffe themed card all in monochrome browns, cream and a touch of gold! My favourite colors 😍 I was actually never a coffee lover until in my mid thirties,  (I've always preferred my Pepsi Max) when I tasted a caffe latte for the first time! Only when I get a cup of coffee with something extra added, like cream n caramel though, don't like the bitter plain coffee taste... My favourite is iced caffe latte! 💗

My DT card for this fortnights challenge #193. at Creative Fingers has a lovely coffee motif from our sponsor Jan's Digi Stamps. As always it is an 'Anything goes theme', and you are more than welcome to join with your creations 💗

Just keep swimming.. & blogcandy winners!

 

Såe... beklager at det har vært så stille på bloggen min, har slitt litt ekstra med helsa i det siste og ikke klart å sitte på scrapperommet (eller 'sitte' ned i det hele tatt..) og hendene har vært så oppsprukket at hver minste bevegelse har vært smertefullt, ganske sannsynlig forverret psoriasisen pga all håndvaskingen de siste mnd.. 🙁

Har ikke vært noen steder siden mars eller hatt noen andre enn familie på besøk, så jeg er såå glad for å ha netflix og alle andre strømmetjenestene ~ og youtube har vært min beste venn! Mange som live-strømmer og jeg ser både på mixed media, kortlagere, matkanaler, gamere og ikke minst humor ~ en god latter er det man trenger nå! 😄 Du finner lenker til 'noen' av favorittene mine litt lengre ned!

Creative Fingers #191., er sponset igjen av vår DT Angelique, med ikke bare en men to flotte premier ♥ Som alltid har vi et 'Lag-hva-du-vil' tema. Velkommen skal du være 😊 Utfordringen vil vare i 4 uker siden vi har sommerferie på designteamet.

..om du titter innom for å se hvem som vant min forrige blogcandy, så rull litt lengre ned! 👍

I'm sorry to not have been present much lately, my health has been worse than usual, and I haven't been able to sit down and craft (or sit down at all really..), and my hands psoriasis has been really cracked and sore ~ probably due to all the extra washing.. 🙁 

My DT card(s) today took me several days to make beacause of those darn aches, and I am sorry it's so late (supposed to be up last friday), but I got to make two cards at the same time though, as all the supplies were already on the table!

Creative Fingers #191., is sponsored by our own DT Angelique again, with not just one but two lovely prizes! As always it is an 'Anything goes theme', and you are more than welcome to join with your creations 😊 The challenge is lasting 4 weeks, as we are still on summer schedule.

 

 

I have not been anywhere since march, or had anyone but family over to visit, so I'm starting to get a bit antsy! Soo happy to have netflix and all the other streaming apps, & youtube have been my best friend with all the live streams and all the mixed media, card craft, gaming & foodie contents ~ and a happy dose of humour! Some good laughs we all need now ~ Go check out some of my fave  channels for some inspiration & comedic relief 😄 

Here just a few: Crafters Jennifer McGuire, K Werner, Tim Holtz (+on FB watch) Dede Willingham, Finnabair, Keren Tamir, Patti Tolley Parrish, Kelly Latevola, Sandy Allnock, Maremi SmallArts, Koren Wiskman, Scrapbooking Made Simple. Nintendo switch gamer BeatEmUps. Foodies Jamie Oliver, Barry Lewis, Delish, Akis Petretzikis & chili challenger: First We Feast! I happen to loooove hot food, I hot sauces like Sriracha & Tabasco on everything, and carolina reaper chili powder for special occasions! 🌶️ Just for fun/standups Graham Norton Show, Michael McIntyre, Sarah Millican, Russell Howard, Comedy Central Drunk History, Good Mythical Morning. At Qi, Today I Found Out & Kurzgesagt you'll learn some amazing facts, and for some cuteness overload: Kittisaurus! Simon's Cat!
