Card Day

3:47 AM | Posted by Camilla Ekman | | Edit Post

Wohooo! It is a new exciting week. I am off work and had lots of time to browse the lovely Swirlydoos gallery. And I found some stunning cards to share with you today.

First a card by Shona where she has used the LaBlanch stamp that came with the tech kit in June. Fantastic card!

The this soft and delicate card by new designteam member Paulien. I just love the colours of it. And those flowers are to die for.

I hope you will enjoy your week!

Layout of the Week June 26, 2011 LisaD (featherrs)

8:43 AM | Posted by LISA | | Edit Post

A SOLDIERS PRAYER

With Independence Day just around the corner, and Memorial Day just past, We remember those who fought for our freedom.
This week we bring you this gorgeous layout from LisaD...Lisa happened to find this photo of her dad under the bathroom sink, after he passed away. And what a find!! He sort of looks like a handsome Jimmy Stewart!! The techniques used are fantastic from Lisa's hand altered flowers to the beautiful altered hinges. (both from 3TailsCraft...I love Faye!!She sent me a wonderful package all the way from Queensland!!)) The masking, layering, and clustering are perfect. Just looove the way the small pocket watch reflects the year. Just Beautiful!! This is one gorgeous heritage page. Thank You Lisa for sharing such a wonderful photo of your dad. And using the looking glass kit to honor it!!
Please visit Lisa's Blog The Shabby Horse Cafe for more inspiration.

It's Friday....it's Friday *doing the cabbage patch* HAPPY FRIDAY!!!

It has been such a fun and crazy week in the forum. CHA sneak links are being posted and everyone is weighing in on their favorites. We are winding down our monthly challenges and I really believe that we have the most talented members there are...hands down!! I learn so much from these women and I am constantly picking my jaw off of the floor.

Here is an entry in the Superhero Challenge that was created by the wonderfully talented Peggy.

And an ATC by one of our newest DT members Paulien

The DT is working on a few ideas that I think you are all going to love. Make sure to sign up to follow our blog by email so that you don't miss out on some exciting news!!! The sign up box is at the top of the blog on the right side. :)

Have a beautiful weekend! Make someone smile.

Product Pick

8:00 AM | Posted by Camilla Ekman | | Edit Post

Scrapbooking is all about preserving memories in different ways. For me, focus is on my photos. Sometimes I add journaling, but not often enough. I wish I wrote more on my layouts. And there really are so many great journaling products out there to use.

For example, in the Swirlydoos store you can find these lovely journaling cards from Jenni Bowlin:

And these cardstock stickers from IOD:

And I browsed the Swirly gallery and found LisaG's fantabulous page about marriage. Look at that gorgeous journaling tag:

And then I found Renea's layout about her dear grandparents where she has used a journaling card for the writing. Beautiful!

How do you journal?

Card Day

3:00 AM | Posted by Camilla Ekman | | Edit Post

Hello Swirly friends! It is Sunday and time for some card inspiration. This is a card I made just for you. I used a mix of Swirlydoos kits for it and I just love to layer things. You might have noticed. LOL

The patterned paper, the ribbon, and the flower are from the June kit. I also used the gorgeous Tattered Angels clear stamps from the June kit. The large tag is from May and the alpha is from a much older kit.

I hope you'll have a great Sunday!
