Weekend again and time to get crafty!

I have been waiting and longing for this weekend just so I can sit in my closet and craft for hours again. And do some cleaning and cooking of course. Crafting yesterday went extremely slow, I was a bit low on inspiration and slow to start up but managed to make a few cards. The goal was to make happy Easter cards and that didn’t go very well. I did however make two birthday cards for upcoming birthdays in March.

This one is for my granny who turns 79 this year! Inspired by Mojo Monday #282 and Ladybug crafts current challenge.
The numbers are actually colored with chalk mist since I only had bigger white letters and numbers that would fit. I have a few other colors but I never ever have a card where they match with the colors.. but they are nice to look at!

I made this for my brother who is turning 23.. And now when it’s finished it feels more fit for a kid than a 20 something so I might add it to my growing pile of cards and make another one for him, more fit for his age.

Inspired by Seize the birthday #8 and 2 sisters challenge #133

Today’s last card

Is a birthday card (yes, again!) but it’s a masculine one (yes, again). There are simply more birthdays to attend than other holidays :-)
The card was made for this week’s Seize the birthday challenge and CASual Friday #90 since they have a color challenge!

Another color challenge!

This card was inspired by another two challenges (I’ve found it very useful and fun to combine challenges of different kind). These two are Ladybug and Alota rubber stamps #101

New born baby girl card

Another card where I combined two Promarker challenges, I love promarkers #155 and Passion for promarkers #185.  The layout is from this week’s sweet stop sketch but I forgot that I had to have birds and or bees, so I will have to make another card for that!
I must admit that I’m getting more and more in love with the Flexmarkers, the tip is just lovely to color with.  Today I also tried to use the fine liner tips for Promarker pens, too bad it messed up my normal tip, otherwise it was super neat! I used it to add dashes on the text piece. Next time I might try it on the wide tip instead as I almost never use them and I think they are slightly harder.

Any preggers out there that I know and who is expecting a baby girl? No?
