My DT creation for Digi Darla

I have actually made a layout to this weeks challenge over at Digi Darla. I haven´t given myself time to make any layouts for ages and I have missed it. So from now on I have decided to try to pick it up again and make more layouts.

This weeks challenge at Digi Darla fitted a layout great, the theme is

Anything Goes with a twist - you have to use a digital stamp, a bow and butterflies.

And if you want to challenge yourself a bit more - twist something on your project, twist your papers, embellishments, hey, even your ribbon! Have fun and get creative!

I decided to give myself a bit of help with this layout and used a great sketch from Veckans Skiss
and it looked like this:

And this is what my layout looks like:

I am so happy with it! I used some gorgeous papers from Maja Design. I "framed" the with paper with one of them. Then used a pretty pink page to back the photo. I splashed with black Glimmer mist on the white paper and used an edge scraper on everything. Everything I used are bought at my local scrap shop called Scrapbutiken.

I used this fun digi from Digi Darla. It´s called Number 1 Ribbon and you can find it here!

Some butterflies! Used one of my favourite Martha Stewart punches . I also used one of her other punches to do the little twigs. Some beautiful black lace.

A black bow made with some black zig zag ribbon. I love this photo of my little B and her Piglet. He does make a great friend.

I also draw with a black pen around the white cardstock and with a white pen around the pink paper.

I also found this fun challenge at 613 Avenue Creat. It´s called Create your own challenge. You have to pick 1-3 things from each colomn.

I also want to enter this project to following challenges:
Veckans skiss #34

Now this is what I made a new cover for my calender. I seen a few challenges about Back to school but often they talk about cards. I thought this calender could fit Simon Says challenge who also has a Back to School challenge.

I used one of the digis we got sponsored with from Kenny K. She is called Phoebe I actually thinks she look a bit like me! I used a lot of bright colours that make me happy. Strangely enough have orange and grey become some of my favourite colours. Me who use to be a black and turquoise girl..... The two old pen nibbs are another deco that I love. Some corners, stickers and a button.

I coloured with my ProMarkers and some Faber Castell pencils.

I have machine stitched around the flower patterned paper and also on the top and bottom of the calender.

I used a belt holder from an old pair of jeans. I also cut out a bit and put it underneath my letters.

This is my first DT card and I hope you like it. The theme this time round is Food and or Drinks. I have used two stamps from Scribbles Design. I thought they were a perfect match!

Used an old paper from American Craft. I also used some J. Collins stamps that I embossed with black embossing powder. I cut out the star with a die and then draw around the edge with a black pen.

Do the wave - it´s Monday!

I loooove Mondays because it means it´s time for a new challenge at Digi Darla. It´s me who picked the theme this week and I hope you´ll like it. It´s actually my Mum´s Birthday today so the theme pick was easy, it had to be Birthday Celebration.

My Mum is a mad cat collector and loves red so with this in mind I sat of to make her a Birthday card. I used a super sweet digi called Cat In Pajamas and you can find it here!

I like this black velvet frame and flowers from my local scrap shop called Scrapbutiken. Also ribon, pearls and the grey paper come from the same shop. I have coloured this sweet image with my ProMarkers and some Faber Castell pencils. Made the pants stripy using a white gel pen. I put a banner at the top to make it feel a bit more like a birthday card and also used a bit of cheese cloth. The sentiment GRATTIS means Congratulations and we use that in Swedish on our Birthdays.

I would also like to enter this card into following challenges:
613 Avenue Challenge #33 - Anything Goes optional twist - stitches real or faux
Amusing Challenge - Birthdays
The Ribbon Girl - August challenge - Colour challenge - red
