A cardful spring, part one.

Today was a great day! I woke up early, got up, put some nice electro music on and crafted the entire (very sunny) morning! I managed to finish a card that’s been lying around for a week now and I also made another two cards! Between the card making I put up a rail under a shelf above my desk and made a few hooks out of some wire I had. The hooks from IKEA didn’t fit my clamps so I made my own instead.
My desk area looks a bit more organized now I think, but the most important part is that I can put up all my important papers, such as bills and notes etc so I don’t forget them! And I found a way to avoid fighting with cables as soon as I need a charger or USB cable.

I won’t give you any image of my desk, at least not now, but I thought I’d share a few images of the cards I made. I don’t feel finished with the green card yet but it’s not very urgent so I have time to think about it.
The stamps are some of the results of my aquarelle practicing. Could have been more careful with the coloring on the lion but it turned out OK anyway. Kinda like a cartoon!

I’m sorry for the very bad pictures, the colors look horrible. I need a photo studio! And a new camera. I hope you’ll survive anyway!

The green/yellow details are more yellow and sparkly. The paper is gorgeous! The text says congratulations.

The red color is slightly darker and the pearl decorations are white, not grayish. The text says congratulations.

Best card picture today! It looks pretty much the same here. I think it needs something more. A work in progress! The text says Leon 2 years.

And as a bonus: a card I made for my brother a few weeks ago. Maybe not my best card (or picture) so far but I was quite low on inspiration and ideas. The card is dark blue, same color as the numbers.

A little something

Long time no posting, I know.. It doesn’t mean I haven’t been creative tho! I’m just a bit lazy and… yeah that’s it. I have been trying to organize stuff and learning new techniques. Since the scrapbooking/card making thing is quite new to me I have a lot to learn. I purchased a bunch of cute stamps and now I’m mostly practicing working with aquarelle.
I also have a few birthdays coming up so there will be lots of reasons for practicing card making too. Yay!

Anyway, I made a simple thing for Malin and her new apartment. I have one myself in blue and my mother has one in yellow. I got the idea from her actually, not sure where she got it from tho.
Since Malin keep her bathroom in black and white I decided to make one what would match!

Last but not least. My brother had his birthday a few days ago and I baked a bunch of cookies for his birthday dinner. Dangerously delicious as usual and very appreciated!
I also made a few for my aunt when I was visiting my new born cousin, she liked them too!

Yummy!
