Nook Card Challenges

Every Monday and Wednesday we have card challenges at MyScrapbbookNook and the DT do a marvellous job with giving examples for each challenge.

You may have heard the sad news about the Nook closing from the end of September, but the activities will go on through the entire month. I'll be hosting the Monday Card Challenges, so stay tuned to get ideas what you can do with the September kit!


I have played along in August as well and here are the cards I made for the two last challenges:

Poor Kitty!

Our kitty (well, actually she's not a kitten any more at 3YO, but she still acts like one) had been into a cat fight some weeks ago. She had gotten some bites, and they became infected (cat bites are the worse). There was no other solution that taking her to the vet to have her infections cleaned up, stitced and to put her on heavy atibiotics and pain killers).

I have never seen any cat beeing so sorry for her self.

Journaling and other details

At first we put on her this super cute PJ to prevent her from biting her stitches, but that didn't work at all. She refused to take a single step with it on, so we had to remove it and out on her this acrylich screen instead. And she wasn't happy at all.

But after a week of recovery, and indoor grounding she is as good as new and ready for new adventure.
And I am broke!

16th Anniverary (and a card kit winner)

Two weeks ago my hubby and I celebrated our 16th anniversary. 16 years! And before we married we were partners for a few years, so if I sum up we have been together for about.... 18 years. Wow, that's a long time!!!

He bought me beautiful flowers on anniversary day and I made this layout where I wrote a few lines about how our marriage has been so far - just nice words, as it has been a nice time :-)

Have you ever scrapped a photo from an anniversary day?

Last week I had a blog post where I bragged about my new DT spot at Cardabilities. And in that post I had a giveaway, a card kit. DS9 has played Mr Random and he picked Teresa as the winner.

Congrats Teresa! Would you please send me an e-mail to the adress in the right hand bar, and I'll send you the prize right away!

Cut it!

Today I'm having a Tecnique Class at Myscrapbooknook where I am I focus on cutting papers and making your own embellies - hence the title of this post.


I'm a paper junkie, I admit it, and I just love cutting.
Most parts of the embellies on this layout are hand cut from paper.

Do you want to know which paper I cut them from (one paper, three different embellies)? Please visit the Nook forum or Nook blog to see my ideas.

Happy cutting!

Nook Card Challenge: Flower

Mondays and Wednesdays are card challenge days at MyScrapbookNook. It's Danni, Jessy and Shelley who runs them and I love playing along. For the last months I haven't been able to play as much as I wanted, due to "Life Happens", but as life has calmed down, I'm back in business.

For the month of September, I'm going to run all the Monday challenges, and I can't wait to share what you can do with the upcoming kit.

Yesterday was Wednesday, and this simple challenge was up: create a card with at least one flower


Here is my take on the challenge: a super easy card using papers and sticker from the August kit and Carta Bella Beautiful Moments:

The flower and butterflies are cut out from papers in the kit, the rose trim is also from the kit, while the bling brad is from a previous kit.
