Pirate cards!

It all started when my co-worker started to play "pirate music" one afternoon. It cheered me up and I got the pirate music in my head - and it stuck!
You've got to go with the flow, right? This is what happened!

WELL, I thought I'd have to participate in the WMSC. The sketch this week really appealed to me. Here is the result. I've been using the stampset "Back in the saddle" from Waltzingmouse stamps, as well as paper from Bo Bunny (12" whoo-ligans rahh - I used the back side!), Tim Holtz dies in plenty, Spellbinders and a button from PTI.

I'm a Big Cheese winner!

"And our Big Cheese for this week, a showstopper from Elisabeth Larsson!

A classic! Pairing Vintage Ornaments with the backdrop of Festive Foliage, Elisabeth has created a gorgeous holiday card. I love the addition of the glitter on the branches and the perfectly-placed rhinestones. And that pop of purple again for Christmas! Maybe we can convince Lynn to make that one of the Christmas Card Challenges! Thank you for sharing your fantastic creation, Elisabeth"

WOW WOW WOW!

Another Western Card/Ett till Westernkort

With some PTI ink (Fresh Snow), some Kraft paper and some WMS stamps I put this little card together. I doesn't hurt to have some old metal flowers and an old ribbon from some random Halloween set laying around either.

Jag satte ihop detta lilla kort genom att använda lite PTI ink (Fresh Snow), lite Kraftpapper och några WMS stämplar. Det skadar ju inte heller att ha tillgång till lite gamla metallblommor och ett gammalt band från något Halloweenset i närheten.
