Creative Fingers thanks their sponsors of 2021!

 

Om du bruker å delta på utfordringene våre hos Creative Fingers, så tar vi en pause og den nåværende utfordringen #221. varer til over nyttår, 4 uker istedenfor de vanlige to. Men vi kommer til å ha vår årlige bloggpost første juledag (eller julaften for de som ikke bor i norden) med julekort fra designteamet OG en super Bloggcandy!

I dagens blogpost hos Creative Fingers takker vi alle våre flotte sponsorer gjennom 2021. Mitt første kort er en spesiell takk til Maria Medel Illustrations, og har den søteste figuren ever ~ Totoro! Mitt neste kort, med den morsomme frosken 🐸 er en takk til kjære Angelique på designteamet som generøst sponser stortsett alle fysiske premier i bloggen 💗

Autumnal fairy card 🍂

 

Tenk nå er vi allerede i oktober! 🍂 Jeg har lagd et høstlig kort med kjempesøte fairy motiver fra vår sponsor Maria Medel Illustrations. Printeren min er fri for blekk, men jeg hadde heldigvis to flotte stempelsett jeg kunne bruke for min DT inspirasjon for Creative Fingers #216.
Som alltid har vi et 'Lag-hva-du-vil' tema, og velkommen skal du være :)

 

 

🍃 🍂 🍁 🍄 🍁 🍂 🍃

 

 

Already in october! Where did september go? 🍂  I have made this autumn ~ fall themed card with adorable fairy motifs from our sponsor Maria Medel Illustrations. My printer ran empty of ink, but luckily I had two awesome clearstamp sets by MMedel to create my DT inspiration for our fortnights challenge #216. at Creative Fingers.
As always we are 'Anything goes theme' at Creative Fingers, and you are more than welcome to join us with your creations ♥

● As You Like It ~ Favourite Autum Or Winter (& why)! [Oct.6th.]
AUTUMN maybe a bit more than winter?.. Both are actually equally my fave seasons though, far above summer and spring, but if pressed, I choose autumn/fall due to the gorgeous nature colors, sleeping better (land of the midnight sun here u know, too bright in summer), the temperature of the season is juuuust right for me. Not too hot, not too cold. Mosquitos be gone! Also ~ Halloween time (not celebrating but love the genre) is in the autumn! :)

Hello Kitty card & Blogcandy winner!

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..

Congratulations! ♥ Please email me at tindaloo at hotmail dot com with your address, and if u can also mention you're a BlogCandy winner in the headline topic so it won't get missed :)

There were not as many entries as I'd hoped, so no bonus winners this time around, but there's always another blogcandy not far off ~ I can actually promise a big one in a couple of months as there is a major event in my life coming up soon :)
