Mariner ~ Summer ATC's

 

Nå er jeg fullvaksinert! 👍 Det er en lettelse ettersom jeg er i et par av risikogruppene. Fikk andrestikket på onsdag, og har dritvondt i armen nå ~ men det tåler jeg fint. Gleder meg til å kunne dra på handletur igjen!

Er med i en Sommer swap på en facebook gruppe kalt Scrappesyken :-O, og lagde da disse sommerlige maritime ATC kortene ~ venter spent nå på å få fine ATC'er tillbake i posten! Har ikke vært med på mange bytter, eller lagd mange ATC'er før ~ dette er bare mitt tredje. Kjempemoro! De to første var i samme fb gruppa, når de arrangerte online scrappetreff. Vi er veldig heldige som kan ha kontakt med andre på nett i disse tider! ❤️

ATC kortene er mitt DT bidrag hos Creative Fingers #213., hvor jeg er sponsor denne gang! Premien er et nydelig Gorjuss stempel og brads fra Storyteller.
Utfordringen varer i 4 uker denne gang og som alltid har vi et 'Lag-hva-du-vil' tema. Velkommen skal du være ☺️

Yay! I'm now fully vaccinated! 👍 Got my second shot on wednesday, and it's super painful in my arm right now, but well worth it! Such a relief as I'm in a couple of the risk groups. Looking forward to be able to go shopping again!

I'm taking part in a Summer ATC swap in a norwegian facebook group, and I made theese fun nautical mariner little cards. They should be reaching their new homes right about now, and I'm exited to see what surprise cards I'm getting mailed in return! It's only my third time exchanging ATCs, the previous two swaps was in the same groups online scrap events. How lucky we are that in theese pandemic times we have the technology to be able to meet online! ❤️

My ATC cards is DT inspiration for challenge #213. at Creative Fingers ~ of wich I am the sponsor of this time ~ with a Gorjuss rubberstamp and Storyteller brads. It is an extra long challenge of 4 weeks summer schedule, and as always an easy peasy 'Anything goes theme'. You are more than welcome to join with your creations ☺️...
