Floral Beauty ~ Fairy Cards 💗

Er fremdeles i ganske dårlig form... og stod over forrige utfordring (med meg selv som sponsor tilogmed!), men jeg har DT inspirasjon for denne! Litt forsinka med å blogge kortene da, men men.. se litt lengre ned for #spoonie #spoonieproblems 😊

Jeg har brukt blandt annet et digikit kalt 'Floral Beauty' på mine to DT bidrag hos Creative Fingers #244. som denne gang er sponset av vår DT Anne Constantly-Carding! Hun selger digitale kits / ark pakker gjennom CraftsUPrint, og gir bort tre flotte digikits som premie. Som alltid har vi et 'Lag-hva-du-vil' tema, og velkommen skal du være! 💗

 

I'm still in pretty bad shape.. had to sit out the last Creative Fingers challenge (and i was even the sponsor for it), but i have two cards as DT inspiration for the current one ~ a couple days late with my blogpost though, but i do what i am able to, and try not to stress over what i can't.. 😊

There are only so many spoons in a day.. and theese days i am running to quickly out of them.. And if u are confused about my use of the word 'spoons', look up spoon theory, its a term for us 'spoonies' with chronic illnesses 💗 There's a good article here at Happiful or listen to the person who came up with the term herself, Christine Miserandino on this youtube video. #spoonie #spoonieproblems.

My DT cards for this fortnights challenge #244. at Creative Fingers wich is sponsored by Anne Constantly-Carding! (who is also one of my fellow DT's) She's selling beautiful digital kits & paperpacks through CraftsUPrint, and three of the kits that the DT's has showcased this time will be the prize!
I have used the wonderful 'Floral Beauty Patterned paper pack' as well as other kits mentioned in the info section below. As always it is an 'Anything goes theme', and you are more than welcome to join with your creations 💗

Showing my LOVE of embossing! 😍

Jeg var desverre ikke i form til å lage noe som DT inspirasjonsbidrag i forrige uke, men tenkte jeg kan legge inn i ettertid noen kort og en tag jeg ikke har fått blogget enda fra da jeg var med på Bikubens Vårscrapp online treff! Ingen tvil her om at favoritt teknikkene mine er tørr-embossing, heat-embossing og distressinks?
👓 Har fått nye briller, og for første gang er det progressive glass, noe som ikke har vært greit å venne seg til... følt meg sjøsyk og svimmel, migrene, og gått på dørkarmer og nesten ramlet ned trappa hjemme! Denne bloggposten har tatt over ei uka å skrive for bokstavene er litt 3D innimellom...
Så dette er en påminnelse for Creative Fingers #231. 😊 Jeg er sponsor denne gang med mine digi stempler som premie, og som alltid har vi et 'Lag-hva-du-vil' tema. Velkommen skal du være!

Unfortunately I was not able to create anything as DT inspiration for #231. at Creative Fingers last friday, having troubles with my eyes and a longlasting migraines on and off.. 👓 Got new glasses, wich now were progressive ones for the first time, and boy are they proving difficult to get used to!!! Been 'seasick', feeling naucious and dizzy, and going from moving my head to focus (instead of just shifting my eyes) has been the most straining.. It's starting to feel better now wich is such a relief! Won't miss almost falling down the stairs and stubbing my toes!!! ... and this blogpost has till now taken me more than a week to complete because the breaks from looking at the words on the screen is too much in 3D!

I will need to go back to get the glasses better fitting on my nose and over the ears, and the temple tips was tugging my hair out each time I took the glasses off, as the plastic tips was not flush with metal, hair got stuck so I had to wrap some dark colored washitape around them! .... yeah, I really wonder what the optician will say about the pretty black glitter washi when I go see them next week LOL! 😂

The challenge is still ongoing for about another week so this serves as a reminder post, adding theese retrospectively ~ and I get to show some cards and a tag I had yet to blog from the online crop event I attended last weekend of march 😊 Can u tell I LOVE to emboss? Both dry-embossing and heat-embossing are my favourite kind of technique, besides getting inky with distressinks 😍 I am sponsoring with 3x of my digistamps as prize, and as always, theme is anything goes. You are more than welcome to join with your creations 💗
