Kids can levitate?

Thanks.

Thank you, Lehtipollo, for this:

All my favs seem to have received it already, so I will be superboring and not nominate anyone...
Maybe I need to find new sites to follow?


Kiitokset tästä kunniasta, kaikki suosikkini ovat tämän jo saaneet, joten on kai aika etsiä uusia blogeja luettavaksi. Jos luet tätä ja tiedät/epäilet että en ole käynyt luonasi visiitillä, niin jätä kommentti!

Not much going on.

Still a week to go before summer vacation starts for me. DD has been busy playing outside with her little friends but I'm not getting anything done. A small 6 x 6 lo is all I have to share, Colorful and Tired, says the title. The dark blue background scanned black.

Matchboxes.

Xing arranged a matchbox swap, and I got this pretty little thing from Liisa. My box went to Xing and its the brown one in her post. Gotta love small goodies!

Xingin tikkulootavaihdossa parikseni osui Liisa, jonka ihana aski oli täynnä kukkia, nauhoja, haaraniittejä... Kiitos sinulle, Liisa! Oma lootani meni vaihtoemolle.

Gone for a week.

You can find me here, if you really need to see me :)

Gone for Midsummer.

I'm taking DD over to her grandparents' for Midsummer so I'm offline until Sunday. Hope the sun will shine!! Happy Midsummer!

Keep your head warm.

Stripes.

The camera hates me, the scanner hates me. This is supposed to be orange, the background is lovely Bazzill textured cs...oh well, I've tried. This is for Inspiroidu, too.

Inspired Again.

I did one of the earlier challenges at Inspiroidu, too. Better late than never. Some of the potty scenery has been airbrushed out. I will get better photos next week, I promise!!

Inspired.

A new Finnish blog offers inspiration for scrappers, visit Inspiroidu! This week was all about grouping photos and framing them. Here's my take on it, with a bad bad photo and title Tiny Touch. The single circle clip secures a journalling tag at the back of the 12 x 12 lo.

All I have is Kid Art!

I haven't done anything crafty for a while, not even played with my new Basic Gray papers. Shame on me. Luckily there is always kid art, DD swapped ATCs for the first time some weeks ago.

Been busy.

Last week of school for DD, tons of stuff to do...will be back soon!

Swapped.

More spring cleaning give aways (in Finnish only).

Vaihdan kahteen ATC-korttiin kaksi pientä ideakirjaa, kirjoittaja Jill A. Rinner, kirjat Creative Lettering, the Secrets Revealed ja Designer Die Cuts. Hihkaise kiinnostuksesi kommenttilootassa :)

Spring cleaning. (In Finnish only)

Kevätsiivousta koitan viritellä, ja tarjolla olisi kuorellinen paperien, kartonkien, tarrojen jne palasia. Aivan sekalaista seurakuntaa. Annetaan hyvään kotiin, eli ensimmäiselle haluajalle, kiitoksena toivon ATC-kortin :)

Nope.

I changed a dimensional "hope" sticker into a "nope" sticker :)

Turku / Åbo

This was made from the materials I got from my secret friend, whom I suspected to be from Turku/Åbo :) .

Art everywhere.

Ghosts.

No middle ground.

Secret cards.

These are the cards I sent to Jaana, whom I got to pamper during the round of secret friends, SATCY2. All materials were received my secret friend, Ansku. / Nämä kortit matkasivat Jaanalle SATCY2-kierroksen viimeisenä lähetyksenä, kortit on tehty niistä materiaaleista, joita sain Anskulta tällä kierroksella :) Kiitos Ansku, ja kiitos kiitoksista Jaana!

Blog candy goes to... / Blogikarkit saa...

Kultahippu!

No longer a secret /SATCY

My secret friend is no longer a secret. Thank you Ansku for spoiling me over the past few weeks, it was truly appreciated!

SATCY2 paljastui, Ansku onnistui pysymään salaisena vaikka kävin hullun lailla läpi Turun seudun ATC-vaihtajia :) Kiitos kivoista korteista ja tarvikkeista, joita sain viime viikkojen aikana!

Blog candy / blogikarkkia

I have this set of lovely clear stamps that I got during one of the rounds of secret friends. I love some of the stamps, but some are going unused so I'm gonna give them away. I managed to make a really bad scan of them, but bear with me, please. The stamps are unused and in prime condition (even if they look chopped up in the scan). I will throw in some bits and pieces of paper and an ATC, too. All you have to do is to leave a comment by Thursday morning (my time) and I will draw a name and post the goodies.

Ja samma på finska: Sain yhden salainen ystävä-kierroksen aikana tämän superkivan setin polymeerileimasimia, mutta ikävä kyllä osa on sellaisia, jotka eivät vain istu kortteihini :(
Siksi annan ne pois! Kuva on huono, leimasimet ovat käyttämättömiä ja ehjiä. Lisään pakettiin vielä sekalaista paperitavaraa ja tekemäni ATC-kortin. Jätä viesti torstaiaamuun mennessä ja olet mukana arvonnassa!

Term of references.

Ebba sorted and typed.

Powers of seduction.

Another ATC just for me, from materials received during the round of secret ATC friends.

Amusing vulgarities.

ATC made from materials that I've received from my secret ATC friend, SATCY2. This one I'm keeping for me :)

One, two.

6 x6 layout with Bazzill, Basic Grey and some rub-ons. I had some leftover prints of DD's b-day pics, 1st and 2nd. Look at those adorable cheeks she had when she was one!

Trade.

For ATC38 at Hiekkaoliivi. The link to the pretties I got in return from Hiekkaoliivi is here.

Thank you, my secret ATC friend, SATCY2!

I have no clue who you are but the goodies you send are perfect! / Siis oikeesti, mulla ei oo aavistustakaan kuka olet, mutta aina onnistut lähettämään ihania juttuja, joten kiitos, ja pian salaisuudet selviää!

Brilliant mail days!

Gotta love the mail I've been getting over the past few days:

- from Wendy

- from Elle

- three cards from Hiekkaoliivi, Purple Mosaic, What happened? and Need a break?

- from Helmetti

- and a lovely pack of supplies and a pretty card from AnneHelena

Spring.

It snowed a lot yesterday, but today there is again sunshine and it just may be spring. All this light is making me use colours I normally wouldn't use. This little ATC accompanied a "clean your stash"- swap.

From my secret ATC friend / SATCY2

More amazing goofies from my secret friend, and she had packed it all in an altered tin, too! / SATCY2 jatkuu ja tällä kertaa sain ihanassa koristelussa rasiassa nappeja, nauhoja ja haaraniittejä, sekä vanhoja kirjan sivuja ja nuotteja! Kiitos, nappipaketti :)

Let there be movement.

This child of mine is meant to swirl and dance around. Hope she stays that way.

Witness.

A Bit of Silliness.

Fish on a Bike for Take Part, Fish Theme.

A Good Saturday.

Gotta love catalogue cards. Make your own here.

Goodies from secret ATC friend / SATCY2

Once again, lovely goodies from my secret ATC friend, SATCY2.

SATCY2 kierros jatkui 20 kuvan paketilla, taas kerran nappivalintoja, ja erikoiskiitos hauskasta ja opettavaisesta kortista :)

Rested.

"I returned to my busy life well rested."

ATC with Basic Grey, rub-on image and a bit of text from old mag.

Not an ATC.

It's fun to work on bigger formats than ATCs for a change. Here's a card for all the moms out there -- "I couldn't possibly take time off, says mom."

From my secret ATC friend / SATCY2

It's been snowing and snowing here since last night and when I finally got home (by foot), there was the most woderful envelope waiting for me! You can see a glimpse of the decorations above, together with a lovely card, and amazing goodies that came in the envie!

Kamala lumituisku senkun jatkuu ja olin kotiin tullessa aivan läpimärkä ja vihainen, mutta SATCY2-kierroksen eka yllärikuori pelasti päivän! Upeasti koristelu kuori, hauska kortti, ihania leikekuvia kauniissa pikkukansiossa ja superkivoja taustapapereita paketissa, jonka kääreen käytän keti askarteluun lankoineen kaikkineen! Kiitos vallan mainiosta paketista salainen ystäväni!

Pressure.

"I have felt this pressure in my chest".

Kid art.

DD made an ATC. My kid! The card is called Butterflies and a tulip.

Ah.

Combining Basic Grey with my fav. stamp cannot go wrong. Lucky me.

Thank you.

This one's for my sister, who spoils me and my DD. See, I used stickers!! / Siskolleni, joka lähettää ihania paketteja minulle ja pikkulikalle. Oho, mie käytin tarroja!

Two ATCs.

She.

Updating my Flickr.

Put some new cards on Flickr. Available.

Ear infection.

Got myself an ear infection. No wonder it's hard to hear (let alone understand) what people are saying. I'm going to clean the kitchen first and then make some cards, I wanna try out moos :) But in the meanwhile, why don't you go and enjoy a cuppa!

Somebody loves me.

Old book page, aged with inks, stamps from Finnstamper.

Muse.

Vintage music sheet with a bit of inking to add aging, lovely lady from Finnstamper and text stamp by MaVinci. Ah, keeping it simple!

Scraps.

I have a bowl on my desk where I put all bits and pieces that are left over from bigger projects, and also stuff I get as extras with swaps. This little fella was there, too :)

Good housekeeper vs. bad housekeeper.

Decide for yourselves, which is better, to be a good housekeeper with a bit of spark or a bad housekeeper with a very glittery life (and head, had a bit of an accident with the glitter pot...). Or is it really the other way around?

Buried in Papers.

For the past two days I've been buried in papers. Unfortunately not the pretty patterned kind, but in articles and books that I need to read to finalise my Master's thesis. Something I decided a very long time ago not to do, but of course had to change my mind a couple of times... I have set myself a goal for today and once I've reached it, I will take out a box of crafting goodies and do something fun!

Wish me luck!

Final mail from secret friend, Satcy.

One of the things we did during the round of secret ATC friends was send materials for three cards and receive the finalised cards.

You can see what I sent to Piia here, and out of the very green materials she made these pretty cards:

Helmetti sent me the materials in this post and this is what she got in return:




Eli nyt se on ohi, hauska ja inspiroiva Satcy. Kiitos Sandylle, kiitos Helmetille, kiitos Piialle, kiitos kaikille. Oli kivaa!

Package of Joy.

EDIT: Both packages are spoken for / molemmat paketit varattu!

I received a huge box of goodies from my dear friend Anja. It was called a package of joy and it's meant for sharing -- I get to pick out those goodies I like and add good stuff that I don't use from my stash. My favourite kind of recycling!

I will probably split the package up to two or three smaller ones, so if you are interested in getting one, please drop me a line at moonunit36__AT__gmail.com.
********************************

Lisäys suomeksi: Eli sain saksalaiselta ystävältäni "paketillisen askarteluiloa", jossa oli kaikkia upeita materiaaleja skrappaukseen ja korttiaskarteluun. Tarkoitus on, että otan mitä haluan, ja lisään tilalle omista materiaaleistani hyviä, mutta tarpettomia. Aion kuitenkin jakaa tuon laatikon sisällön ainakin kahteen, että postikulut pysyvät aisoissa. Jos haluat osallistua, ja saada siis minulta kuoren täynnä askartelujuttuja (enimmäkseen koristeita, myös skrappaukseen sopivia), josta voit ottaa mieleisesi ja lisätä omista tavaroistasi tilalle, niin laita viestiä moonunit36 miukuumaukuunaukuu gmail.com :)

Secrets revealed / Satcy paljastuu...

I had so much fun during the first round of Satcy, Secret ATC Friend! I received amazing goodies from Helmetti, and got to spoil Piia myself!


Kiitos Satcy-kierroksen uskomattoman ihanalle ystävälleni Helmetille, jonka henkilöllisyyttä en arvannut, vaikka bloginsa tuttu onkin! Kiitos tuhannesti kaikesta, ja ensi viikolla saat sitten ne kolme korttia, joiden ainekset lähetit :)

Itse sain ilahduttaa Piiaa, joka olikin uusi tuttavuus! Alankin hetimiten ehdottelemaan korttivaihtoja sekä Piialle että Helmetille :)
