Den kjempesøte lille pusen på kortet mitt er fra Maria Medel Illustrations ♥
Får meg nesten til å ønske meg en katt igjen! ... Er ganske lenge siden min Tamlin gikk bort.. Sånn ca. 8 år uten katt er lenge for en som er typisk 'kattedame', men jeg hadde ham i 14 år og det ble et så stort tomrom at jeg ikke ville ta inn en ny katt. Men jeg savner absolutt å ha en liten pelsdott og kose med så det blir vel ikke lenge til en kattunge, eller en katt som trenger omplassering, får et nytt hjem ♥
Om du leter etter vinneren av bloggcandyen min, så er det bare å scrolle litt lengre ned :)
The cute little kitten on my card today is from Maria Medel Illustrations ♥
Creating cards with kittens always makes me want to have a cat in the house again.. almost! It's been quite a long time now since my Tamlin died. About 8 years without a cat for a typical catlady is just too long ~ but I've found it difficult to fill that void with a new cat. I definitely miss having a little furball in the house to snuggle up with though, so I believe it wont be long before some kitten, or cat in need of a forever home, get to come live with me ♥
Now then, you might be here to see if you're my recent Blogaversary winner! Thaks for joining in ♥ I used the online random.org to pick ~ and it is lucky number 7! Lets have three cheers for..

My DT card for this fortnights challenge #149. at Creative Fingers has a beautiful oldfashioned (medieval princess?) motif from our generous sponsor LeAnn's World 101.
I was inspired by this Panduro paper with a background that has a vintage carnivale / circus motif, and I painted 'Raina' in the same colors. I absolutely love using pretty papers as cardbases, and coordinate watercolors for the motifs, it makes creating a card so much easier! .. Usually when I color a motif and then go looking for papers to fit, I end up spending an hour just to find the 'perfect' match ;)
As always Creative Fingers is having an 'Anything goes theme', and you are more than welcome to join with your creations ♥

Den søte larven tegnet av Goebie minte meg veldig om da jeg var liten og lærte meg å lese, og 'Den lille larven aldri-mett' var en stor favoritt. Og jeg brukte å lese høyt fra den til mine små brødre ♥

😎 Happy Summer! ⛅
I absolutely LOVE this cute little caterpillar from Goebie, it reminds me of the childrensbook 'The very hungry caterpillar' wich I read SO many times when I learnt how to read, and then later I read it to my younger brothers ♥ (see the Animated video of the book on youtube)
🍃 🐛 🍃 🍏 🍃 🐛 🍃
My DT inspiration card is a couple days late as I've been having a lot of aches n pains lately.. Especially in my hands, wich are all chapped and sore, and I haven't been able to craft or much of anything.. :( I'm taking light therapy for the psoriasis on my hands at the hospital, but that's two hours drive back n forth, wich only worsens my muscle n backpains. Hopefully I won't have to do as many treatments as last year before I see results. Would love to be able to spend more time in the craftroom this summer :)

I made some fun marbled backgrounds a while back, and thought the green one was a perfect match for my little caterpillar! I had added nailpolish (cheap ones) to a tub of water, swirled it with a toothpick and quickly add the pattern to the paper. I find placing the paper on top of the water rather than letting it pass down through the surface to the length of the tub / submerging it is a better way to get a good pattern. The red one was with submerging it, so next I just carefully layed it on the water and picked it up without getting it under the surface. I do reccomend working outside or with windows open, cause nailpolish really stinks! And I also let them dry off for many hours, and then days to get rid of the smell.. You can find heaps of tutorials on youtube for Nail Polish Marble arts.
And before you leave, have you checked out my awesome Blogcandy yet? :)

Et julekort i begynnelsen av Juni? Ja hvorfor ikke.. Her hvor jeg bor (Vesterålen) er det nå nærmere vintertemperatur enn sommer, og jeg har flere julekort jeg ikke har blogget enda ;)
Tror jeg har nevnt det før ~ Penny Black var min første stempel forelskelse ♥ Sånn 10+ år siden begyndte jeg å bli stempelgal.. og de første i samlingen min var PB stempler med bla. nusselige pusekatter, mus og pinnsvin, som kortet jeg viser litt lengre ned. Da fantest ikke clearstempler, de kom montert på tre klosser, og på ezmount eller cling som det også heter.
Mange scrappere har siden de-montert stemplene fra klossene, for de tar opp ekstremt mye plass.. men jeg har så nostalgiske følelser for dem at jeg klarer ikke gjøre det. Ikke enda iallefall ♥
Motivet på kortet under er fra et clearstamp sett som heter 'Christmas Critters', og om du klikker *her* kan du se flere kort og kreasjoner jeg har lagd tidligere med andre Penny Black stempler :)
Har du forresten sett at jeg har en bloggcandy med masse flotte

A christmas card in the beginning of June? Well, why not.. Where I live (northern Norway) it's closer to winter temperatures rather than summer, and I also have several christmas card waiting to be blogged, so bring on the chill! Lol :)
I believe I've mentioned it before ~ Penny Black was the first stamp company I fell in love with for over 10+ years ago, and that started my stamp hoarding with Cuddly kittens, mice and hedgehogs ♥
🦔 Like this old card of mine from 2007! 👉
Back then there were no clearstamps, they came only on wood mount blocks, later came cling and clearstamps. And many crafters begun de-mounting and throw away the wood-blocks to save space.. I got too much nostalgic feelings for them (and stamp-hoarding-tendencies) too rid of them, for now anyways ♥
The cute caroling mice motif on the christmas card is from a Penny Black clearstamp set named 'Christmas Critters', and if you should want to see more PB stamp creations by me you can click *here* to go to all those I have blogged before.
Oh, and did u see I have an awesome new Blogcandy?
