I am not too fond of cooking but I like a new recipe from time to time. However todays recipe isn't about cooking:
This weeks challange at Karen'd Doodles Challange blog we're having a recipe challange. Don't worry you won't have to go shopping for "ingredienses :-)" here's the recipe: 3 Embellishments, 2 pattern papers,1 stamped image. that's not too hard.
Can't wait to see what you come up with.

another day another challange

Another week has gone by... and well I haven't gotten much done... what can I say ?
Nothing really don't know where the days go !!!
Todays card is for this weeks challange over at Karen's Doodles challange and the theme is halloween.
We don't celebrate Halloween here, well we have a few decorations but NOTHING compared to what's in the US. It's one of the holidays that I really miss from when I lived in New York. I LOOOOVED halloween and Thanksgiving.
Anyways here is my card:

My fave number !

THis week the challange over at the Karen's Doodles Challange blog the challange is to use 7 of something. 7 is my fave number ! Lots of reasons, married on the 7th, daughter is born on the 7th. this is my 7th. home and I feel more at home here then any other place. there are lots more number 7's in my life that makes me belive 7 is my lucky number. Will be fun to see if the new baby will be born on the 7th. too :-)
I used one of the older images from Karen's Doodles. the image is called on the run I really like this one, it's one of the really great teen images I have seen. I know for myself I tend to go for the Über Cute rather then teen images, but this one is a really fun image, both on a card but also to color.

Ooops I am late posting this !! Hope better late then never counts this once :-)
THis week the challange over at Karen's Doodles is to create a Criss cross card. they are always fun.
This card...is a collaboration between mY 7 year old and myself. She helped make the card or actually cards as we have made 16( so far) of these. She is totally inlove with Panda Bears so this image was her choice for her Birthday invitations. I have to agree with her Amanda Panda is a really cute bear :-)

Pretty in Pink

I think it's time that I appologize for being absent lately. It's been way too quiet around here ! the reason is that I am SO SO tired and if I am not sleeping I am laying on the couch trying to get the strength to get up and go to bed :-) No before anyone starts to get worried about me, the reason is a Happy one ! I am pregnant !! Yes we're having another baby, and We're thrilled !! I am not due until Mid March so just past the 12 week mark. but ohh boy is it different and HARDER to be pregnant now then it was 8 years ago ! I can differnitely feel that my poor body is older ! Eventhought I am in way better shape now then I was when I was pregnant with Ninna.
Anyways just wanted to let everyone know that I haven't dropped off the face of the earth... well I guess I kind of have since I sleep most of the time :-)
