So it's Wednesday...

...and that means that I should update, right?!

Of course I will, too!
These beautiful pieces of art are made for the challenges I posted last time. The first LO and the card (I added the detail pictures too, because they're just so good) are made by the very sweet & talented Lene - she used the kit Virkelig Vintage (meaning "Very Vintage") from her kit shop Ecclectic kits for them both.
Doesn't that just look yummy?!

The blue layout is made by the amazing Maja who's beautiful style you might recognize, since been a guest designer here before.

Thanks to you both for playing along!
:D

Sketch #31 and an announcement

Hello & happy Wednesday!
This is my 31's sketch for this blog, and this week it's been interpreted by Leonie and Jenny H - who both won a guest designer spot when I did the sketch challenge a while back.
Didn't they do a WONDERFUL job?! :D

Now - for the less fun news.
This will be the last sketch for a little while. The blog will be pretty silent for the rest of the year, most likely. I have stepped down from both my DT's temporarily and I felt that I have to give this a rest too. Nothing serious - I just have to take a vacation from all the scrappy responsibilities for a while.

I might sneak in a sketch or two somewhere, but if I do. it'll be a lot less scheduled.
See you when I get back!
*waves*

Sketch #28

Another Wednesday - another SKETCH!
This week, I have got no less than three beautiful LOs from two amazing ladies: Maja (the first LO) and Lynlee (the two following)!
Lynlee said I could choose. She was way wrong. How could I ever?!
So I added both her LOs.

These ladies were both in my challenge a while back, and I asked if they'd like to make an LO for me.
They did - which made me VERY happy.

Thank you, gals!
:D

Look here:

Sketch 19 is updated with another piece of art.
Isn't it great?!

:D

Sketch #26

Surprise!!
I know it's Thursday, buuuut - since I happened to get Tammy Tutterow to do not only one but TWO sketches for me, I decided to put them both up pretty immediately.
(Can you blame me?! *grins*)
That woman is wicked talented - just look how different this LO is from the former - and how it still has that elegant flow to it!
Tammy - you seriously ROCK!

:)

Sketch #25

I'd like to start this Wednesday early (it's just past midnight in Sweden, but I'm too jittery about this to wait any longer!...) by welcoming a fantastic guest artist onto the blog.
You see - I've managed to get none other than one of my biggest idols, the great Tammy Tutterow to design from my sketches!
Imagine my surprise and pride, when my mail came back with a positive reply!

With a heartfelt THANK YOU to the wonderful Tammy, I give you all this week's sketch and the beautiful LO based on it.

♥

Sketch #23 - and the interpretations

First of all - I'd like to say THANK YOU to everyone who participated and who sent me kind notes regarding both this and my other (less fun) post, the other day.
You guys are the reason why I do this.
♥

Second of all. I couldn't choose. No way! You're all so amazingly talented and each and every interpretation had it's own charm and personal touches that made the unique, special and oh so beautiful!

...so I decided to showcase them ALL!

You guys ROCK!
Thanks so much for playing along!

Ps. I'm sorry your names don't show up, but I didn't want to ruin your pictures with watermarks. If you click on a photo, you'll get to it's page, and the name of it's maker will be visible for you. Thanks!

Sketch #22

This week, the sketch is a bit more freestyle - or clean if you will. There's a lot of room for personal interpretation (which I absolutely love and encourage!) as you can also see from the lovely LOs - made by my dear, wickedly talented friends Annika (the first one) and Sofie (the second one - and by the way, Fiffi, I'm still not sure it's legal, being as beautiful as you are!!... *smiles*).

Hope you love the LOs as much as I do - and don't hesitate to leave the artists behind them some love!

Thanks for popping by!

A special sketch (#21)

A little while ago, I got this very sweet email from a super kind lady over at the Aussie shop & forum Country Papercraft. She asked me if they could use one of my sketches for their newsletter - and of course they could!
I actually thought they deserved a bit better than that - so I made a sketch for them, exclusively.

The newsletter (hey - start subbing - it's filled to the BRIM with awesome inspiration!! And check out that forum too, while you're at it!) is out now and I asked if I could show you all their amazing takes on the sketch on the blog, and they agreed!

So - this week's very special guest artists are the awesome Country Papercraft's Crew:
Michelle, Deb, Leonie and Lynlee!

Thanks for scrapping my sketch! I am honoured!

Sketch #20

Number twenty... Already! WOW!

This time, the guest designer, who made the beautiful LO Nocturne, is the sweet & talented Evelina/Wih.
Leave her some love! :D

LO #2 is my own.

Sketch #19

Wednesday - and the sketch is here!

This week, the talented designer guesting the blog is the very talented AnnaG - you can see her gorgeous card below. Drop into her blog and be amazed - she rocks!
I've also have the honour of presenting an LO by the wickedly great scrapper Vicki. Her LO is below too.
Thanks a bunch, girls - for helping me with this sketch! :D

I'd also like to thank everybody who leaves kind comments and supports this blog, my sketches and the designers' work. You're the ones that make this fun. Thanks!

Sketch #17

Think I'm a day too early?
I'm not, really. It's past midnight in Sweden and I went to bed 3 hours ago.
At least that was my intention. Somehow, I ended up on an extended bloghop instead and, well... I might just spoil you with this Wednesday's sketch being a bit ahead of time!

The LO, this time, is made by the very talented Monique! TFS! :D

Sketch #16

Saturday - and lots of time to scrap. I guarantee that you'll be inspired and amazed by this great LO, provided by Pam!
Hopefully you'll like the sketch too.
Have a good day!

Sketch #13

Another Wednesday = another sketch.
The amazing LO is made by Ewonne and I'm sure it'll inspire you all!

Thanks for visiting! :D

Sketch #11

Happy hump day!
In honour and celebration of being halfway to the weekend - I present to you:
A new sketch AND a super cute take on it by my dear friend Nina (who isn't "only" a super talented card maker - she designs the CUTEST stamps as well!) - just to show you that my sketches are easily adaptable for cards, LOs and altered alike.
Hope you like it!

I hope you've noticed...

...the updates?

Three new LOs are uploaded for your viewing pleasure + inspiration.
They are sketch two, seven and number nine. Aren't they amazing!?

Leave some love for these ladies - their links are all shown just to the right of this post.
:)
