Happy Birthday No2

So April is a month with loads of birthdays in my family, and as I haven't met any one in march either, there is loads of cards to be given (I like to give cards instead of sending them). So I'm supposed to bring three cards tomorrow to my family, I'm lucky that I had some already made because I only made one today, but one great though. For this card I got inspiration from Colour Create Challenge #69 Pink, Blue and Brown and Just Magnolia and hAnglar and sTanglar Challenge #103 Sketch, so I will enter this card in both.

Sketch Saturday #144 and Colour Create #65

So told you about the stamps I bought last friday, well I just had to ink-up another one, Magnolia this too, soo cute. My inspiration today comes from Colour Create Challange # 65 3 Fruits, I choosen orange, apple and strawberry and I'm also using the sketch from Sketch Saturday #144 as I really love playing with squares. Hope you like it.

Jag berättade för er om stämplarna jag köpte i fredags, jag var bara tvungen att använda en till av dem, en magnolia, den är så söt. Min inspiration idag kommer från Colour Create Challange # 65 3 frukter, jag valde apelsin, äpple och jordgubbar, jag använder också sketchen från Sketch Saturday #144 eftersom jag verkligen tycker om att leka med rutor. Hopas ni tycker om den.

Box #2 and three challanges

My boyfriends grandmother is having her birthday in a couple of weeks, so I decided to be out early making her present. After having so fun making the last box I just had to make another one. I'm entering this box in three challanges, Whiff Of Joy - Used the wonderful sketch that Bev made, ABC Challange - R is for roses and Colour Create - Blush Pink, Lilac and Moss Green.

Min pojkväns mormor fyller år om några veckor, och jag tänkte göra färdigt hennes present i tid. Efter att ha haft så roligt med att göra den förra lådan så gjorde jag en till. Jag deltar med den här lådan i tre utmaningar, Whiff Of Joy - Använde den underbara sketchen som Bev gjorde, ABC Challange - R är för rosor och Colour Create - Rosa, Lila och moss grönt.

Colour Create Challange, Stamp with fun & Just Magnolia

This was a hard card to make, not the combinding the challanges part, that came all by itself. But acctually the challanges themselves.
First there is the Colour Create Challange #15 - Blue and Green, took a very long time until I found the cardstock and DP that went with each other.
Secondly there was the Stamp with fun challange #6 a beautiful sketch, but does anybody know how hard it is to make a good octagon without a template, finally I dusted of my knowledge in trigonometry and had something that was kind of symmetric.
And last there was the Just Magnolia Challange #4 - In stitches, I do like to sew, but my free-hand stitching sucks, I tried to make some lacy daisies but they woulden't look like I wanted, so I compromised, they became x-es.
I do like how it turned out tho :)
