Nina of Norway

I've lost the will to craft :o( So I've been blog hopping... as you do, and I found this gorgeous card, well all her cards are fabulous. I remarked to Emilie once that the Scandanavians seemed to make the most beautiful cards and was it because it's so cold. And I was going to put my hands in the freezer to see if that helped my card making!!!
There's a lovely card Nina has made where she has used real sea shell as embellishments. It really is lovely.

Nancy - Super Mom :o)

Why Nancy Super Mom? Well you'd have to read her other blog -"Are we having fun yet" to know why. I found this lady when tragedy struck her young Nephew Marcus and Mary (My cardz) posted about him on her blog. So I went over to read what was happening and Nancy was mentioned in one of the posts, so as you do I hopped over to her blog, and this is what I found - a painted bird house, I just LOVE it, if I lived a couple of thousand miles closer I'd go and steal it :O) Or maybe not, her husband is a policeman. Moving swiftly on... Nancy is not only a furniture painter extra -ordinaire, she also makes some fabulous cards. Go take a look and do go and read her other blog, it'll make you laugh and cry, but I always come away smiling.

Jóna - Pieces of me

You just GOT to take a look at this lady's cards. Now I like to create scenes and mix stamps, but this lady takes it to a whole new level. Now when you get on to her site scroll down the page and you'll see green banners with titles on them. Click on these and you'll go to a new page dedicated to that particular subject. Took me a while to figure that out LOL. Any way if you click on the one marked Kort Card you'll get to these fantastic scene cards.

Link to profile, just found out she has several blogs all dedicated to a particular craft. So here's the link to her profile and just click on her blogs - http://www.blogger.com/profile/17400390542406998871

And here's the link to go straight to the cards, including the one above - http://www.imsland2.blogspot.com/

Anja

I had a job trying to decide which picture to use so I decided on this as it was the first card I saw of Anja's. Loved the way she coloured it and so went to have a mooch around her blog, WELL what can I say but...WOW. This lady is an artist, no really she is. You want to see what she does. Ive never seen colouring, painting, pastels etc etc like it before. She gives little tutorials as well. Anja is German but she speaks English, so if you need to know anymore about her work don't be afraid to ask, she is an extremely lovely lady.

Aina B

This is another of those blogs that keeps freezing om me. But after being incredibly persistant I managed to get these two photos. It was the altered frame that took my breath away, Just a normal frame from Ikea, and look what she did. She also makes the most gorgeous vintage cards.
