Card dare and magnets...

Finished this week's card making dare yesterday. This week's challenge was to create a card using a foreign language. Suited me perfectly! Though Ross' suggestion made me laugh, he said I should have done my card in English since that is not my first language! LOL! Anyway, here's what I came up with...




...and for those of you who can't read Swedish: "Grattis På Födelsedagen" means "Happy Birthday". Tri-folded my card, sliced off the top diagonally, added some Basic Grey papers and buttons. Quite enjoyed doing a card in a different shape...

On Sunday we went to IKEA (being Swedish, I just loooove the Sweden Shop at the end!) and I got a little magnetic board to put all my notes on. Bought some magnets too, but they looked rather boring and plain:


...so I ended up decorating some of them a bit. Might have got a bit crazy by making them so bright...but hey, at least they make you smile when you look at them, which is the main thing. And the magnets themselves were so cheap that if I get tired of them it's not the end of the world to throw them and buy some more.

I got some exciting post yesterday afternoon. Two pizzaboxes with stash were delivered. One was the mystery kit for the UK Scrappers cybercrop in two weeks. Since it's a secret kit, I guess I'm not allowed to say what's in it...but let's just say the colours didn't surprise me. Some of the papers inside I really, really like - so I'm sure I can make something out of that.

The other box contained a very cool DT kit. I've been asked to be a guest member of a DT. Not sure how secret or not it is, so I better not mention who for just yet. You'll find out in about a month's time... Anyway, I'm really excited about it (and feel very honoured to be a guest DT member!!) and can't wait to have a play with the goodies.
