Maja Design, "Life in the country"- part 1

Hi Bloggers!

How is everybody?
Me? Naaah! A half day sitting in the emergency!
No, No, Its not me this time, its my little baby girl. She has been having some kind of a lung infection, then she was ok a few days and then she got (me too, but a lot nicer one) this nasty eyeinfection. I feel so sorry for her, mummys little baby.

Anyways, last night when i was trying to move her away from taking over my side of the bed, i noticed some blood on the sheets. Hmmm, maybe some blood from her nose i tought, but i couldnt see any. Then i saw it...It was like from a terrible scary movie, waaaaaaht!!!? She was bleeding from her eye! oh, it was really nasty and i got so sceared. Didnt know what was going on.
So, in the morning we rusched her to the ER, and you know how hospitals is, wait, tests, wait, tests.....
well, its nothing dangerous at this moment anyways, we got a whole lote of different drops and creams to use and we have to keep a close eye on her eyes,lol, but goosch, this past 3 weeks has been kinda blaaah.

Oh well, we had a really lovely day here today! Really! I even put my sunglasses on. The sun was shining and it was so beautiful and white outside. I got that spring feeling today,yay! I so love that feeling.

We also have some stunning cards to show you today over at stampartic.
Al the DT girls played with the lovely Maja Design papers called "Lantliv"/" Life in the country". I so LOVE theese papers! They are gorgeous!
These papers really bring a feeling of summer and country life :).!


Here are my cards:

When i was cruising in blogland i stopped by Kylie, and she had made a little notebook.

So this idea i snatched from her.

I had this little green notepad laying around that i had wanted to do something with for a while. So this felt like a perfect idea, to make a little notebook card.

Flowers and butterflyes...

Here is the inside....

The adorable image is from Saturated canary and shes called Penny, see PEN.. (like to write with in my notebook).. ny,lol. ha, ha aint i clever?

I colored her with my copics.

Heres my second card...

A card with this beautiful image called "Lizzy" and shes from sugar nellie.

Lovely flowers...Love that big blue rose!

this is my first time to try color on craft,lol. What can i say? Gotta practise, practise.

but i had a whole lot of fun tho.

You just gotta head over to the stampartic blog, cause you wouldnt wanna miss out on the fabulous eyecandy and the wonderful inspiration that the DT girls have for you over there!

Thank you so much for stopping by today!

I just have to share a little pic of my poor little princess...

I would so appriciate if you would think of her in your prayers.

I know its nothing that big really, but i think 3 weeks beeing poorly is enough,right.

and you know, a mummys heart always bleed when their babies are in even a little bit of pain.

I just want my happy, stubbern baby girl back!

Thanks!

Have a wonderful day/night everybody!

hugs bettina

Last week i got theese new dies, they are so totally perfect for almoust every image, perfect sizes (altho i ordered the wrong dies. I was supposed to byu me some really big ones (Grand nestabilities) Somehow in the end everything turned out right anyways. Cause i got the big ones too, but now im realising that the big ones wont fit in my big shot,lol.)

 Are you still with me, or are you as confused as i am?? Sorry for my ramblings and for sounding so totally confused, but hey, im Swedisch!

oke, now i dont meen that sweeds are confused,( well, maybe a little ;)) i meen the language barriers.

Sometimes i have some fun or interesting stuff i wanna share with you but i cant get it out right, so its al just sounding so stupid, ha, ha. Oh well, maybe im offering you some good laughs at times, cause sometimes it can go so totally wrong. At least at some of my Dts we are laughing our pants of so many times. Can you imagine how it sounds when we al get togheter and start to chat,LOL!

See, now im totally of track, i was supposed to tell you about my valentines card.

Heres a close up...

The ribbon is from my stasch and i think that the lace is also from woc.

I also used some  magnolia doohickey dies, peony petals and flag and cloud.

Im gonna give this card to the bestest mum ever...mine!

At first i wasent sure about the image. Isnt valentinos arrows consisting of that passionate love? Like the love between a man and a woman? But i tought...so what if it is, i dont mind cause hes so darn cute.

Im also gonna give her this beautiful white heart.

It says..."The worlds best mummy"!

Trying something new!

Good morning Friends!

How is everybody doing in this freezing weather?
Hey, who brought winter back? Its -15 here in Sweden right now, brrrrr....

I cant believe how long its since i made my last post, over a week.
Well, i have been busy, busy, busy.

One thing we have been doing is visiting a whole lot of different high schools.
My son is becoming a big boy.
Dont know if im too happy about that:(, hes really growing up waaaay too fast.
But i think he is happy about it, especially the part of deciding for himself, making his own decisions and choises,lol. Even tho he is realising that its not always that easy to do.
Its really a special and tough time in his life right know. Many choises to make.
I think he has made up his mind...Hes going to the navy highschool!!

We did visit both the school and the big boat ( witch mostly will be his classroom:)) and i think this is perfect for him. There will be so many new adventures  and so many new possibilities for him.
Keeping my fingers crossed that everything will work out, just have to wait and see...

and talking about trying out something new...I have been trying out something new too,lol.

Its Februari the 1st, (where did Januari go?) and that meens a NEW challenge over at stampartic, Yay!
The NEW challenge is... Do something NEW!
Fun huh?
A perfect chance to try out something that has been on your mind.
You now the thing that you have been wanting to try out for such a long time now, but you kinda havent gotten there. What you waiting for, now is the time to do it!:)

Whilest bloghopping i came across a beautiful pop up card that i just had to try out for my self. Such a wonderful desing, just looksie...

Isnt the design just awsome?

I tought it was going to be really hard to do, but i followed the tutorial over here and it went really easy.

I have used little Tilda and her fence.

The papers is also Magnolia.

I stamped around the edges on the craft paper with my MS punch.

I also used my new tree die from Marianne Design, love it!

The flowers are a mix of woc and i am roses .

The coloring was made with my beloved copics:

Here you can see when the card is closed...

and here its pulled open.

Fun huh!?

Even my hubby said...

This is the best card you have ever done hunny! lol:) Isnt he just too sweet?

It was really, really fun to make this card, so i warmly recommend you to try it out, if you havent yet.

and for some inspiration and some lovely eyecandy hop on over to the stampartic blog.

The girls have some amazing stuff to show you.

Hope you liked my little pop up card.?

Thank you so much for stopping by today, makes me so happy!

Poored up some of that warm coffe and stumbled in to my own little space (i got theese lurvy slippers with huge bunny ears for christmas, therefor the stumbling, those ears, they are cute but genormeous:))

Hi Friends!

Its time for a new fun challange over at southern girls!:)

Tilda with flower!

Hello friends!

It feels like i have been gone like forever. and i have missed you al lots and lots!
What can i say other then busy, busy and a sick baby on top of that, so not much playtime for me.
well, guess you al know how it is.

Anyways, today im here to show you my first dt card for copic marker europe blog, yay! Im soo happy about that but also a bit nervous. Im really not that sure about my coloring skills .I promise that i will do my best, but please be nice oke,lol

I made a card with this sweet little Tilda called Tilda with peony tails. She's from the new "sweet crazy love" collection. I love al the stamps from this new collection, so its really hard to choose witch one to color up first,lol.

After a while i decided to go with this beautiful tilda.

I made my desicion becouse of my design papers. I have theese beautiful Maja Design papers with beautiful purple roses on that i have been patting for a long time know. Some papers are so hard to cut in, they are so beautiful. But now i finally decided to cut in them..

I wanted to color that big flower that Tilda is holding in lilac/purple. I actually haven't used that much lilacs so I was off to the craft room to experiment a little on which copics to use.

I think i finally found a good combination, what do you think?

I really like this purple, green, black and white color combo.

The beautiful Maja Design papers are called "Ska vi ta en fika"

So, so sweet!:)

Some beautiful flowers from prima and woc

love those purple blings too,lol.

Copics i have used is:

Skin/Haut: E50, E51, E00, E11, Cheeks: E93, R21

Hair/Haar: E51, E31, E33, E35, E37

Dress+ Shoes/Kleid und Schuhe: W1, W2, W3, W5

Flower/Blume: RV91, V06, V12.

Leaves/Blätter: G40, YG61, G94.

If you dont have her yet, and you really have to, wanna, must, go crazy without  this sweet Tilda, Just head on over to Bunny Zoes and there she will be waiting for you,lol.

Enabler! Who? me?....

Thanks alot for stopping by today, meens so much to me.

Hope i could give you some inspiration, just like you al give bunches of to me.

Have a wonderful evening lovelies!
