Edellisestä art journal -kerrasta on vierähtänyt jo jokunen aika... Halusin aloittaa art journaloinnin uudestaan mutta ajattelin, että itsekseni sitä ei ehkä niinkään tule tehtyä, vaan homma jää ajatuksen asteelle. Siispä otin ja liityin Wanderlust 2017 -kurssille! Se on koko vuoden kestävä nettikurssi, jossa julkaistaan viikoittain videoita ja muuta inspiraatiota. Tein tämän sivun vierailevan opettajan Mary Wangerinin videon pohjalta, aiheena oli Roald Dahl -sitaatti "And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it." Ja tällainen siitä tuli, paljon kerroksia, papereita, maalia, käsinmaalattu mandala, Hero Artsin lintu kruunu päässään...
It's been a while since I last did any art journaling... I wanted to start art journaling again but I knew I needed a bit of push to do it, so... I joined the Wanderlust 2017 course! It's an online event with loads of art journaling inspiration lasting the whole year, and I'm loving it :) I made this page inspired by a video by guest teacher Mary Wangering and the theme was this Roald Dahl quote: "And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you
because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely
places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it." There's loads of layers, stenciling, pieces of paper, layers of paint, happy colours, a hand painted mandala with a bird (a Hero Arts stamp) wearing a crown, etc.

Ystiksii ihan aina - Friends 4 Ever
Lisää pupuja :) Sain blogiystävältäni Patricialta leimakuvia ja stanssattuja kuvioita lahjaksi ja käytin niistä yhden tähän korttiin. Tämä suloinen pupu on Mama Elephantia, väritin sen Distress Markereilla ja laitoin hieman kimalletta pupun pitelemään sydämeen (ei tosin näy kuvassa). Pupu on kiinnitetty tarrapaloilla koholle. Paperit ovat sekalaista seurakuntaa Simon Says Stampin stansseilla stanssattuna ja tagi on stanssattu Tim Holtzin stanssilla, teksti siinä on Lawn Fawnia. Lisäksi hieman nyöriä ja kukkanappi.
It's a bunny card from me again :) My bloggy friend Patricia kindly gifted me some stamped images and die cuts (thank you, Patricia!), and I used one for this card. The bunny is by Mama Elephant, I believe, and I coloured her with my Distress Markers. I also added some subtle glitter to the heart she's holding (it's so subtle though that you can't see it in the picture :D ) and attached her with some foam adhesives. The papers are from my stash, I die cut them with Simon Says Stamp's stitched edge rectangle die and the curve is die cut with SSS's die, too. The round little tag is die cut with a Tim Holtz die and the sentiment is by Lawn Fawn. As embellishments, I added some twine and a cute little flower shaped button.
Haaste/Challenge:
* P*skarteluhaaste #338 - Neljä jalkaa ('Four legs') (pupulla niitä lienee neljä, vaikka tässä kahdella seisookin ;) )
Kiitos, kun käväisit! Leppoisaa lauantaita! :)
Thanks for your visit! Enjoy your weekend! :)

Pupu ilmapalloineen - Bunny with a Balloon
Lili of the Valley -linja jatkuu! :) Tämä söpöläinen on Balloon Bunny ja väritin sen taas Distress Markereilla. Tekstileimana käytin FinnStamperin leimaa, josta jätin sanan "sinulle" pois (se ei mahtunut! :D ). Stanssasin paneelin Simon Says Stampin ommelreunastanssilla ja kiinnitin korttipohjaan. Lisäksi laitoin vain muutaman pisteen mustalla liquid pearlsillä. En ole itsekään ihan varma, olisiko tämä syntymäpäiväkortti vaiko vain "ihanaa päivää, tässä sulle ilmapallo ja muffari" -kortti, mutta aika näyttäköön :)
Here's yet another card done with a Lili of the Valley stamp :) This one is called 'Balloon Bunny' and I coloured it with my Distress Markers. The sentiment says something like 'have a lovely day' in Finnish. I die cut the panel with the image and the sentiment with Simon Says Stamp's stitched rectangles die and attached it to the card base. I only added a few drops of black liquid pearls to finish the card.
Kiitos, kun käväisit. Ihanaa päivää! :)

Konepellin alla - Under the Bonnet
Toinen synttärikortti meidän pian 4-veelle, tämän hänelle antavat isovanhempansa. Leimakuva tässäkin on Lili of the Valley'n, nimeltään Under the Bonnet. Väritin sen Distress Markereilla, stanssasin Simon Says Stampin ommelreunastanssilla ja kiinnitin siniseen paperiin, jonka stanssasin Spellbindersin stanssilla. Kiinnitin kuvan korttipohjaan tarrapaloilla hieman koholle. Taustapaperi on Echo Parkia, lisänä tekstileima ja stanssattu numero (Memory Box).
Here's another birthday card for our soon-to-be 4-year-old, this will be given to him by his grandparents. The stamped image is once again by Lili of the Valley and it's called 'Under the Bonnet'. I coloured it with my Distress Markers, die cut out with Simon Says Stamp's stitched squares die, and matted onto a piece of cardstock die cut with a Spellbinders die. I then attached the whole thing onto the card with some foam adhesives, so it is a bit raised. The background paper is by Echo Park, the number is die cut with a Memory Box die, and the sentiment says 'Congrats!' in Finnish.
Haasteet/Challenges:
* Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Start Afresh (a new stamp that I've not used before)
* Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: New Something (the stamp)
* Cute Card Thursday: Challenge 459 - What's New? (the stamp)
Kiitos vierailustasi tänään. Mukavaa maanantaita! :)
Thanks for your visit today. Have a fab Monday! :)

Hiihtäjä - Ski Jump
Nyt vähän talvisempiin tunnelmiin. Meidän nuorimmainen täyttää tässä kuussa 4 vuotta ja tein hänelle tällaisen synttärikortin. Leimakuva on Lili of the Valleyn Ski Jump, jonka väritin Distress Markereilla ja stanssasin irti Simon Says Stampin ommelreunastanssilla. Lisäsin leimakuvan lumeen hieman kirkasta Wink of Stellaa ja pöllyäväksi lumeksi laitoin muutaman tipan valkoista enamel accentsia. Taustapaperi on Echo Parkia ja ruskean kartonginpalasen kohokuvioin My Favorite Thingsin Stitched Strip -stanssilla. Koristeina Lawn Fawnin stanssilla stanssattu tähti, jossa Memory Boxin stanssilla leikattu numero, ja tähtinappi. Tekstileima on You Don.
This time I've got a bit more wintery card to show you. Our youngest son turns 4 later this month and I made him this card. The stamped image is 'Ski Jump' by Lili of the Valley and I coloured it with my Distress Markers and die cut out with Simon Says Stamp's 'Stitched Squares' die. I added some clear Wink of Stella to the snow drift and a few drops of white enamel accents to represent flying snow. The background paper is by Echo Park. I dry embossed the strip of brown cardstock with My Favorite Things' 'Stitched Strip' die, and added as embellishments the die cut star (Lawn Fawn) with the die cut number (Memory Box) and a star button with a twine bow. The sentiment says 'Congrats' in Finnish.
Haasteet/Challenges:
* Lili of the Valley Facebook Challenge: January - Anything Goes
* Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Start Afresh (a new stamp)
* Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: New Something (the stamp)

Auringonkukka ystävälle - Sunflower for a Friend
Väriterapia ja auringonkukat jatkuu! :) Bongasin Seven Hills Craftsillä kivan luonnoshaasteen ja tein tämän kortin sen pohjalta. Leimakuvana tässä on taas auringonkukka Lawn Fawnin Our Friendship Grows -setistä Copiceilla väritettynä ja kohotarralla kiinnitettynä. Raitataustan leimasin Simon Says Stampin Wide Stripes Background -leimalla ja Simonin High Dive -musteella ja stanssasin Simonin ommelreunaisella stanssilla. Kiinnitin senkin tarrapaloilla hieman koholle korttipohjasta. Tekstileima on Dekoretten setistä ja koristeina vähän nyöriä ja jokunen enamel dotsi.
It seems that I can't get enough of colour therapy and sunflowers now in the dead of winter! :) I noticed a lovely sketch challenge over at Seven Hills Crafts and made this following the said sketch. I used the biggest sunflower in the 'Our Friendship Grows' set by Lawn Fawn, coloured it with my Copics and attached with foam adhesives. I stamped the stripey background with 'Wide Stripes Background' stamp by Simon Says Stamp and their 'High Dive' ink, and die cut it with Simon's 'Stitched Rectangles' die. I attached it to the cardbase with foam adhesives, so it is a bit raised. The sentiment says 'for a friend' in Finnish, and as embellishments I've used some baker's twine and a few enamel dots.
Haasteet/Challenges:
* Seven Hills Crafts Monthly Craft Challenge: January Sketch
* Penny Black and More: January - Anything Goes (my 2nd entry)
Kiitos taas vierailustasi! Leppoista loppiaista! :)
Thanks for your visit today! Have a lovely Friday! :)

Aurinkoista - Sunny
Kaksi ensimmäistä korttia tälle vuodelle tehty! Hiukan on ehkä aistittavissa valon puutetta ja auringon kaipuuta, sen verran aurinkoiset näistä tuli... :D Tein nämä molemmat kortit My Favorite Thingsin luonnoshaastetta seuraten. Yhtään MFT:n leimasinta minulla ei ole (...vielä... ;) ) mutta käytin näissä molemmissa MFT:n stansseja. Ensimmäisessä kortissa leimakuvana on ihku auringonkukka Lawn Fawnin Our Friendship Grows -setistä Copiceilla väritettynä. Taustan vihreä paperi on stanssattu MFT:n Wonky Stitched Rectangles -stanssilla ja banneri taas Fishtail Flags -stanssilla. Paperit ovat Simple Storiesia ja Lawn Fawnia, tekstileima on Mama Elephantin Organic Blooms -setistä. Koristeina muutama enamel dots.
Here come my first two cards of 2017! Wohoo! Apparently, I'm suffering from the lack of light and missing the sun (oh, the Finnish winter...) as both these cards are quite... bright! :D I made these both following the sketch over at My Favorite Things. Sadly, I don't have any MFT stamps (...yet... ;) ) but I do have their dies (which I love!) so I used them. The stamped image on the first card is the gorgeous sunflower from the 'Our Friendship Grows' set by Lawn Fawn, I coloured it with my Copics. I die cut the green paper with MFT's 'Wonky Stitched Rectangles' die (love!) and the banner is die cut with the 'Fishtail Flags' die (love!). The patterned papers are by Simple Stories and Lawn Fawn, and the sentiment is from the Mama Elephant set 'Organic Blooms'. As embellies, there are few enamel dots.
Toisessa kortissa on söpis pupu, Purple Onion Designsin Rosie, Copiceilla väritettynä ja irti leikattuna. Taustan vellum on stanssattu MFT:n Wonky Stitched Rectangles -stanssilla ja banneri Fishtail Flagsilla. Sydämet stanssasin Lawn Fawnin stanssilla. Paperit taas Simple Storiesia ja Lawn Fawnia. Kerrankin sain muuten käytettyä tuollaista paperia, jossa on teksti valmiina. Yleensä paperit, joissa on tekstiä tai kuvaa reunoilla/kulmissa, ovat hieman haastavia minulle, mutta tässä sain sen toimimaan.
The cutie bunny on the second card is 'Rosie' by Purple Onion Designs. I coloured her with my Copics again and fussy cut her out. The MFT dies used on this are the same as in the first card, Wonky Stitched Rectangles and Fishtail Flags. The hearts are die cut with a Lawn Fawn die. The papers are by Simple Stories and Lawn Fawn. I'm quite proud of myself for the way I was able to use the background paper with the sentiment 'Hello Sunshine' here, usually patterned papers that have writing or images on the edges or corners are quite tricky for me but I think I was able to make it work here.
Haasteet/Challenges:
* My Favourite Things Card Challenges: Wednesday Sketch Challenge - Sketch 313
* Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge - Start Afresh (both the stamps are new and never before used)
* Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Anything Goes
* Penny Black and More: January - Anything Goes

Top 10 2016
Vuosi on vaihtunut ja on aika katsoa taaksepäin vuoden 2016 kortteja. Kovin paljoa en ehtinyt tehdä ja vielä vähemmän ehdin blogata, mutta jotain silti ehdin tehdä ja hyvä niin. Tässä siis minun Top 10 vuoden 2016 korteista, aikajärjestyksessä. Linkkiä klikkaamalla pääset alkuperäiseen postaukseen.
New year has begun and I'd like to take a moment to look back on the cards I made during 2016. I didn't have the time to make as many cards as I would have wanted to and of the cards I made, I didn't have the time to blog them all. But I made some and I'm grateful for that. So here is my Top 10 of the cards I made in 2016, in chronological order. If you click on the 'link' beneath the photos, you'll be taken to the original blog post.

Siinäpä ne, itselleni mieluisat vuodelta 2016. Toivottavasti vuosi 2017 on yhtä antoisa ellei antoisampi askartelun (ja sen ajan...) osalta. Hyvää askarteluvuotta 2017! :)
So there, my favourites of 2016. I wish 2017 will be as good, or why not even better!, in regards to crafting (and time...). May your 2017 be full of craftiness! :)
