Red Hearts ♥

Jeg har allerede mange stempler fra Sweet Pea Stamps ~ men motivet jeg har brukt på disse kortene er fra et digitalt decoupage ark fra Crafty Purple Frog som du skriver ut og klipper så det blir i 3D, og det er utrolig mange vakre motiver å velge mellom! ♥ Husk blogcandy'en min før den 15. oktober! 

I already have lots of Sweet Pea Stamps ♥ but I'm sure going to get more of theese gorgeous digital 3D decoupage papers from the Crafty Purple Frog!

Feeling the Blues..

Var et utrolig merkelig værfenomen her om dagen ~ natt til 1 August.. Noen som vet årsaken? Forurensning? Støv? Tok mange flotte bilder som dette!
Jeg har også et enkelt monokromatisk blått kort å vise frem ~ kansje til noen som er like glad i Gene Kelly og gamle romantiske musikaler som meg? Jeg har det med i fem utfordringer, som du kan se litt under her :)


Beautifully weird clouds on sunday night ~ August 1st. Anyone know why such bright pinkish clouds? Got lots of awesome photos of the phenomena :)

A day for Daisies sin utfordring var å bruke en eller to av de 'hemmelige ingrediensene' for #23. Dette digi stemplet av mor og barn er bare helt nydelig! ♥ Og det passer kjempefint på et staffelikort :)

New Love ~ New Joy ~ Congratulations!

A day for Daisies Challenge #23. has two "Secret Ingredients", in wich I think I recognized both, but decided to use only one, as I really wanted to paint up this image to have on an easel card :) Lovely newborn image don't ya think?
