Bildmalarna :: A very happy friend

Hello all stamp lovers! Let's make this official. I am sure some of you notice my little banner on the side. Yeap, I am so happy to say that I will be having fun with sweet friends as a Bildmalarna Design team member! I am already having a good time with my dear senior dt's, they are so amazing and you bet they are preparing fantastic things for you to join the fun! You already can join us at the current Bilmalarna Challenge blog, the theme is make an easel card. Easy and FUN!

My easel card has what is becoming one of my favorites stamps from "mimosa' (a nick for bildmalarna), happy friends. I was  trying to keep it simple, and very generic. A card for all occasions. One of the reasons I like this image is the endless possibilities of how to paint. This time I tried my best to pull a nice horse feel...flickering and feathering, blending. I will say..I spent a long time on this image until I got more or less where I wanted to be! I am quite happy. I learned a lot...and the biggest lesson. Practice! : )
See you all . Don't forget to come by Bildmalarna challenge blog. Dont miss out on the exclusive images for the Club member!
Much luv

Monkey Business

We all know that in life, family and friends are the things that matter the most. I was lucky to have met my dear friend and “sis” Connie. She is a dear buddy in the embroidery +sewing world = everyday life. Connie and I bumped into each other over Craftster and we have exchanged items and helped organizing a couple swaps (it is so much fun!). We never stopped talking…a true friendship was granted thru craft! Well, like good girly gals we both moved almost at the same date this year…so I promised to make her “We’ve moved!” cards as part of her housewarming gift. Connie call her 8 (yes, eight and she is my hero and super mom) kids monkeys…so choosing a mascot to spread the word was easy!
