Snowflakes are Winter's butterflies

Good morning my crafting buddies :)

The release of the new images from D'Arcy's Diaries is coming closer and I would love to show you another card with the beauty ;)

I have used the image before, in different colours and on a tag. You can se it here if you like.

And since it is friday it is also Fairytale friday at the Teddy Bo blog, you really should check it out!

This time I made a wintercard to one of my friends :)

Image is DARCYSDIARIES_04

Papers from Pion design and white and grey-blue bazzill

Snowflakes from a Marianne die

Text is computer generated

Bling swirl from Prima

Spellbinders mega oval and scalloped mega oval.

Haven't made an easelcard in weeks, so easelcard it had to be!

I have only used Copics in C7-4-3-0 and RV 95-93-91 for her clothes.

Think it makes a fantastic combination!

Fairytale friday, last for 2011

Gooood morning friends :)

The year 2011 is soon ended and we are about to enter 2012. 

I found out I wanted to write down some of the things I am happy for

I have  had a fantastic year.

I am so happy that I have my family, my husband and our kids, my parents and my sisters around me. Thats means the world to me.

And I got my crafting life,- my blog, my crafting space, my design teams and my wonderful friends all around the world. I enjoy life the way it is right now.

I have almost blogged a year now and it has been a joy from day one. When I look at the cards I made when I started my blog I can see that I have learned a lot. My colouring skills are much better now because of all the inspiration, all the tips from other crafters, all the tutorials I have watched and of course all the colouring I have done :)

I have been so lucky to be a part of some fantastic design teams in 2011.

I was with Allsorts for 5 months, thank you Brenda for a fantastic time with you girls!

I was in the DT at Sukkersøtt for 6 months, and enjoyed every second of that too. Thank you Nancy for everything!

Right now, I am in Tickled Pink Stamps DT and love to work with theese fantastic images.

 I have recently been lucky to become a member of the CopicMarkerNorge DT too, a really fantastic group with talented Norwegian crafters that I really look forward to work with.

And last, but not least,- I am part of Teddy Bo design team. From day one I have loved the bears and making card with theese images is a pleasure. So thank you Gayle for letting me be a part of a fantastic team, letting me work with the most beautiful graphics and most of all thank you for all friendship from you and the rest of the design team. MWAH!!

That was a little of my thoughts ;)

This is my card with the same image that I used yesterday,

 but in totally different colours:

The back

The inside with the text I have got from Maritha a long time ago.

Gabriella said that this was her card, so the text is just perfect for both her and the lovely Teddy Bea in a Cat costume ;)

Image is TEDDYBEA_103 again...LOVE it!

You find it here

Coloured with Copics as usual

Papers from Panduro

Seambinding and flowers from WOC and Maritha :)

Blingswirls from Prima and a hommade hatpin from my friend

Mini Postage stampset from Whimsy Stamps

I hope you find the time today to read Colettes fabulous fairytale from our life at the Teddy Bo tower, I love fridays even more because of this!

You find it here a little later...

Enter my card here:

Hi friends!

I have made a card today with the lovely Teddy Bea as a kitten, and I think she is fantastic!
Gabriella saw this image on one of Chrissy's ( a Teddy Bo fan ;))cards and she started to cry when I said I didn't have that image..But mom, I love it she cryed...
Sooo like the kind mother I am, I asked the lovely Teddy Bo boss herself if she please could help me out! Of course bloglands best boss did that and the monster fell alsleep with the graphics in her hand.. She has made a lot of "cards" with this image and today it was my turn :)

I think this is a perfect image for baby cards to, my talented friend Maritha did one for a baby girl and you find it here, it is fantastic!

Here is my card
