Natsumi

Hi There Crafts and Me Fans....

It's Karen here, and this week I wanna showcase to you, Natsumi!! She is brand new at Crafts and Me and of course she is designed by Hannah Lynn.... just in case you didn't know!!

Hi everyone, Karina here today. I hope you are doing fine, just as I do. It's VERY cold outside and so what better can happen as to spend the day in the warm and cosy home crafting... just as I will do today on my day off. 

But first I want to show you a card I recently made, using the wonderful image 'Portrait of Ohpelia'... what a beautiful sounding name! Just love this name, and so I do the image. It is from Jasmine Becket-Griffith.


I coloured her with Copics. And the background papers I used are from Prima.
I wish you a wonderful day now. Thank you so much for looking!
Hugs, Karina

Brightest Blessings


Hello everyone, Karina here with my first post in the New Year. I hope you had a safe and sound landing into the 2013 and had a nice and relaxing festive season. For the most the daily routine has begun again, just as it did for me. But I was a lucky lady and were allowed to enjoy a 1,5 weeks holiday over Christmas and New Year.

My first creation I want to show you is... yes, a Christmas card... you cannot be too early with making Christmas cards, isn't it? :o). And Crafts and Me have such gorgeous images to make them. The one I used on my card below is 'Brightest Blessings' from Robyn Pushay. I coloured the image with Copics and added some sparkling to the wings of those sweet little angels.

The second card I show you is the one I created for our Christmas Bumper Challenge where we have the theme 'Winter Wonderland'. You still have 6 days left to join to have the chance to win one of our fabulous prizes. For my project I used one of my favorite image from Zindy S.D. Nielsen 'First Snow'. Also here I made the colouring with Copics.

Well, wish you a wonderful day now and thank you so much for your visit here.
Hugs, Karina

Esther Baby!!

Happy New Year Everyone!! I hope you all had a very Awesome New Years, and a Very Merry Christmas.... I certainly did, and I can't believe its 2013 already! WOW

Today the shop is back in business at Crafts and Me, along with all the Design Team Girlies!! I want to show you a card that I made using a December image, Art Deco Esther!!

I have coloured her with my copic's in a rich green, to make her a little more traditonal and 1930's feel :-) I have also used my Graphic 45 papers, Ladies Diary, which I think is pretty much perfect for her, so here she is, I hope you love her as much as me:-)


So what do you think? pretty ? I think so:-)  I have again kept the card nice and simple and somewhat small, so that the main part of the card is the actual image:-)

There is a brand new challenge starting today, so I hope you will come along and play... here is the link so that you can check it out

Till next time
Happy Stamping!!
