Summer Tag

 After many weeks abroad, first in Germany, then in Norway,
we are back home again.
So good to sit down at my desk with all my papers and toys!

There are lots of birthdays coming during the next weeks,

so I made a simple summer birthday tag.
And of course, the tag is upcycled.

Birthday Card

Some weeks ago Beccy asked me on my blog
if I would be taking part in a Christmas marked this year.
I did not answer, because I did not know.
Earlier years I loved to take part on such markets,
but with the different diseases I've got the last years,
is it rather difficult to stay outside for hours in cold winter weather.
So I thought I had to think about it.

But this Sunday I got an invitation to take part in a spring marked!
And I said YES!
So now I have to hurry up, getting new cards, journals and knitted stuff ready.
I'm full of inspiration and happiness.
Here we go! 😊

My first card for this marked has got an image and sentiment from Beccy.
Embossing folder: Lifestyle.
Dies: Spellbinders "Oval", Elizabeth "Curvy Leaves",
WeR Memory Keepers "Nesting Card".
Flower punch: EK Success, Corner punch unknown.
Stickles on the flowers, Stabilo marker for the faux stitching.

The Summer Girl 2

As I was a child,

I used to get books from my dear grandmother

for every Christmas and every birthday.

One of the "birthday books" was called

"The Summer Girl"

("Sommerpiken" in Norwegian),

and I thought of this book

as I used Beccy's "The Rose Hat" image

for my last cards.

Therefor I call these cards "The Summer Girl".

Here comes number 2.

I used:

White double card,

Sigel's patterned paper with the sky and the clouds for the mat.

A leftover from a patterned paper from "More Time To Craft".

Scrap papers, different colours.

Image from Beccy: "The rose hat", 

coloured with water colour pencils and a water brush.

Dies:

Fence: Marianne Design,

Grass: Nellie Snellen.

Punches:

Cat: Atelier Terziev,

Flowers: EK Success.

Green pen for the doodling,

"Gold" glitter glue.

CAS Greeting Card

So therefor I like to have some cards

which I can use for different greetings.

Recipe:

Design paper: Sigel,

Yellow paper.

Place Cards

For my birthday party I made some place cards.

Well, I did not write the names of the guests on them.

Then I wanted my guests to sit where they wanted to.

So on each card I wrote a message:

"Thank you for being here and sharing this day with us!"

For each card I used:

White card stock,

snippets of pink, cream and green papers.

Dies used:

Banner and flower: Marianne design,

Leaves: Cottage Cutz "Ivy" on most of the cards

 and leaves from Craft Sensations for a few of them.

I also used brown distress ink, green pen and silver glitter.

Here are some of the cards.

I made the photos at home before we left for Norway.

I also want to show one of the flower decorations,

made by my cousin and her husband.

The celebration took place in Norway

as we had our holidays there,

about one month before my birthday.

So this year my birthday lasted veeeeeery long.

But you don't celebrate your 70th birthday every year, - do you?

I used many snippets on the place cards,

so therefore I want to show them on:
