I absolutely l o v e bingo cards! I found lots of vintage
stuff at my grandma's house and
scanned it into my computer. I love how they turned out...

And then i discovered the funniest thing:
This stamp from Prima:

It's exactly the same! Only the numbers are different!
Can you believe that?
I wonder if they too had a Grandma who played bingo..? LOL! ;-)

anyway... I wish you all a great weekend!

Back for good...

Hi everyone! It's about time to wipe some dust off this blog, don't you think?
We've had an amazing summer this year! Although the weather
has been really bad, I've enjoyed every minute of it. I haven't had the
time to make any cards though, so I've spent this entire day making cards,
banners for my blog and so on- and it feels so good to be back on track! :)
I have a few things to share with you today:

Something "different" LOL:

I was looking through my photos a couple of months ago,
and realized that I forgot to share our 2009- calendar.
The calendar-pdf is made by Celeste.

I'll be back soon...
Thank you for visiting my blog!

Silvia

Thinking of you

I am still working on my "other projects- post",
but I have a card for you today.
I hope this makes you feel like summer!

Thank you for your sweet comments and all the awards...
I hope you know how much that means to me!

hugs
Silvia

I'm back...

(...after quite a bit of computer trouble! I hate when that happens...)

Anyway- I've got this card for you today:
(Please click the photo for a closer view...
Sometimes I find it so difficult to capture
"the feeling of the card" with only one picture.)

Material list can be found HERE

I love the spring! Today it's raining, but I won't complain because
we've been blessed with weather like this lately:

As you probably know by now, i love cardmaking,
but I actually do a lot of crafting besides that too.
So, I've decided that I want to show you some of my other hobbies-
and as soon as I get my computer back on track I will have a
post about that. Stay tuned!

hugs,
Silvia

A peek inside my daily life...

(Ready for a long post?)

I thought I'd show you some of the projects
I've made that I use on a daily basis.
First: My inspiration journal! I put whatever inspires me in
this journal- quotes, pictures, stories, papers,
fabrics- you name it- it's in there! :)
If you want to learn how to make these journals,
you can purchase the workshop HERE at
Donna Downeys online store.
But I'll have to warn you- it's addictive!

I also wanted to show you a simple recipe book.
This is also from a Donna Downey workshop. It is
called "book, bound & crackled" and you'll find it HERE.
I really wanted this book to be simple.
That way I could use it in the kitchen
without thinking about making
a mess all over the embellishments. :)

(If you click on the photos you can see that the entire cover is pained with crackle paint)

The Papir i Hjertet DT was challenged
to make table cards and invitations for Confirmations:

For boys:

For girls:

That's all for today... :)
Have a beautiful day everyone!
-Silvia-

This is for YOU guys!

It's been crazy around here lately, and I've been the worst blogger.
So last night I decided to make YOU a card.
Thank you for visiting my blog, and thank you for
leaving me kind words! You ARE my inspiration!

Feeling romantic...

Hi everyone! :)
Just wanted to show you something I made for
my husband a while ago. :)
I found these cute candy hearts, and wanted to
use them in one of my projects...


A couple of closeups:You'll find a list over the materials I've used HERE.


And since we're already in the romantic corner...
As you can see, I used a lot of
Making Memories in both of these projects.

Thank you for visiting!
Have a great weekend! :)
