Merry Christmas to everyone!

Here in Norway we are celebrating Christmas day today, the 24th.  I was scheduled to work for a few hours today but my sweet boss managed to find someone that wanted to take my shift. So now my day isn`t going to be so stressful after all.

I am sorry but i haven`t had the time to make a new creation for today`s post, so i thought i would show you some of my previous makes for Crafts and Me. I have selected a few creations that are my favourites of my Crafts and Me makes.

The first card i want to show you is the card i created for the last digi-challenge. Since i wanted to show off this gorgeous image a little better i went for a 8x6 inched card in traditional Christmas colours. The image is called Poinsettia and is available here.

My second card i posted her in the shop blog a while back. I think this is one of my fav Sara Burrier images. She looks truly divine. She is called Twilight Lily Fae and she is available here.

This 3rd card is called The Talisman and is a card i created for the "lace" challenge back in august. I just love the colour combo of this card. You can find this super sweet image here.

My last card today i created for the "Use a digi" challenge. The image is called Lady of Opal and she is available right here. I noticed i only had picked cards using Sara Burrier images, lol. Well...she is my fav artist, so it isn`t so strange anyway, lol.

Well...now we`re soon off to my mother in law. Usually we are celebrating Christmas at home but since i originally was going to work today we had arranged to go and visit my hubby`s mother for Christmas. Lucky me don`t have to slave over the stove either today, hahaha. I wish you all, and especially my fabulous team mates and Teresa, a very merry Christmas. I wish for you to get a lot of crafty stuff under the Christmas tree, lol!

When you have the time there is still plenty of time to enter our big bumper Christmas challenge. The theme is anything goes. And there is a yummy lot of 6 prizes up for grabs!!!! Isn`t that magnificent? Hop over to the Crafts and Me challenge blog and join in on the fun.

Well, that`s it from me. Untill next time...

Fa, La La La the Angels sing....

OMGOSH the count down is on isn't it? I can't believe how fast this year has gone, it feels like it's only really June or something, but so glad it's not weather wise, it's starting to really warm up around here!!!

Today I have to show you a new release image from Crafts and Me.  This lovely Digi is called Casting Down and it's by Sara Burrier.  You can pick one up by clicking on this HERE link:-) 

So I have made another Christmas card, I counted them up and geeze I only have 16.... oops, thought there would have been a few more than that, but lucky I don't have to send out that many - so I should be ok in that department!! So here she is, a beautiful angel singing fa la la la- well I think she is anyway!!!  I hope you love her as much as me:-)

I have coloured her in my RV copic's as I wanted her to be in a slightly softer pink than what the R's give you.  Her wings are covered in Atyou Spica in Clear - gosh I love those pens!! and the raised parts of the wings is Liquid Pearls. I have also given her hair a touch up with the Gold Atyou Spica Pen. My Fa La La La paper is by Jillibean Soup, and I've used some Kaiser Craft flowers along with some Wild Orchid Crafts. I had to use some stickles, so that is around the image!! LOL   My sentiment is from SU, and I have also used some creamy lace and some cheese cloth to soften the card a bit. 

My next card I have to show you, is also by Sara Burrier, this one is called Poinsettia, I used this card in the challenge: Pearls and Swirls... I really love this one too:-) You can get your Poinsettia here

I've coloured miss poinsettia in some gold's mostly they are Y Copics with a little bit of E35 to golden/darken it up.  Her wings are of course smothered in Atyou Spica in Gold and Clear!! There is some more stickles on my sentiment which is by Dark Room Door, again there cheese cloth, laces, and wild orchid craft flowers and my Paper is by Websters - YUM YUM

So there is still time to enter into our challenge's, I can't wait to see what you girles have made:-)

Till next time (well right before Christmas actually - Christmas Eve, Eve, Eve, Eve LOL)

A Little Bit of This and a Little Bit of That . . .

Hi there! This is Rose sharing several Copic-filled images that I’ve been having a lot of fun with.  There is no real theme to the cards I've included here.  I've dabbled all over the place.  It's good to change things up a bit sometimes and I feel like I've been stuck on Christmas red since late August - LOL!!!

This photo shows a rubberstamped image that Elisabeth Bell designed for Sweet Pea Stamps.  Teresa carries alot of the Sweet Pea Stamps line and you can find this sweet Little Curls image here.  Isn't this little lady just adorable?

Speaking of adorable, take a look at this Mercreature rubberstamped image by Lisa Victoria!  You can find this fabulous Sweet Pea Stamps image here.  The snow globe that this mercreature is holding is left blank and you can fill it with whatever your heart desires.  How cool is that?!?!

Talk about cool . . . You'll need to step away for some cool air after dancing a night away like this elegant Art Deco Couple.  Teresa carries a fabulous line of eclectic 1920's art deco rubberstamps that are appropriate for many occasions.  You can find this handsome couple, full of lavish plumes, here.

You may have seen this card at the current Crafts and Me Digi Team's "Simples" challenge. I've used Hannah Lynn's Kissy Fish image on this side open card.  You can find her here.  This beautiful image carries itself well without a lot of supporting accents.  Keep her in mind for your loving Valentine wishes too!

What's that I hear you say?  You want to see Christmas red.  LOL!!!  Well, alright then.  Here's a sneak peek at a soon-to-be-released digi image that Sara Burrier has designed named Poinsettia.  I've used this beautiful fairy to decorate this Christmas cracker box . . .

* * * * * * * * *

You can find more newly released digi images at the Crafts and Me store here.  Very soon you'll see stunning new Hannah Lynn miracles and the Sara Burrier Poinsettia and imagination images.  Keep your eye out for them!  And, if we're very lucky, the rest of the Digi Team might give us a sneak peek at more of them this week.


There's still time to add your entry to the current Digi team's "Simples" challenge here.  Crafts and Me Stamps is offering THREE digi stamps to a randomly selected entry.  What a great way to get your hands on some fabulous new digi images!!!  Visit the Crafts and Me challenge blog again on Wednesday for a new Rockin' Rubbah challenge.


Wishing you a fulfilling day!  We're so glad you stopped by to visit!
