Lines kortmakeri

2011-01-25T12:00:00.000+01:00

Hei alle sammen!
Nå har jeg besluttet å opprette en ny blogg som viser litt flere sider av livet mitt enn bare kortlaging. Det hadde vært hyggelig om dere stakk innom og sa hei:) Den nye bloggen min heter Fru Rønningen og bloggadressen er:
www.fruronningen.blogspot.com

Hi everyone!
I've decided to create a brand new blog that show some of the other sides of my life besides cardmaking. I would love it if you stopped by and said hi:) My new blog is called Fru Rønningen and the blogadress is:

Vår lille jente har blitt født!/ Our little girl is born!

Her er vår nydelige datter Linnea! Fødselen startet litt raskere enn mamma'n og pappa'n hadde tenkt, men gleden var stor da hun så dagens lys ved hjelp av et keisersnitt den 2.august kl 15.44. Hun veide 3436 gr, var 51 cm lang med en hodeomkrets på 33 cm. Foreløpig er håret rødlig, så vi får se om hun har arvet det etter sin mor.. Vi kom hjem fra sykehuset den 6.august og vi prøver nå så godt vi kan og vende oss til vår nye hverdag:)

Here is our beautiful babygirl Linnea! The birth started a bit sooner than her mum and dad had thought, but we were so happy when she finally arrived by cesarian on August 2nd at 15.44. She weighed 3436 gr, was 51 cm long and 33 cm around her head. Her haircolor is reddish at the moment so we'll have to wait and see if that's something she's inherited from her mom.. We came home from the hospital on August 6th and are now trying as best we can to adjust to our new life:)

Her kommer et kort jeg lagde ferdig i helgen. Skulle lage et bursdagskort til ei jente som fyller 14 år, og da syns jeg denne shoppejenta fra WOJ passet fint. Mottageren er veldig glad i både klær og å shoppe:) Har brukt de nye, nydelige papirene fra Maja Design og gått litt bersherk med symaskin. Papirene kan virkelig anbefales!

Et aldri så lite livstegn.../ A little sign of life..

2010-04-29T12:05:00.010+02:00

Hei alle bloggvenner!
Dere lurer sikkert på om jeg har gått meg helt vill her i bloggland, siden det ikke skjer noe her i bloggen lenger. Jeg må bare beklage at jeg har vært en så dårlig blogger i lang lang tid, det har virkelig ikke vært ønskelig fra min side. For å gjøre en lang historie kort, så har det skjedd tøffe ting i livet som har ført meg inn i en lang korttørke. Jeg måtte derfor også ta et valg om å trekke meg fra designteamet i Stamptacular, hvilket var et tøft og trist valg. Jeg håper selvsagt på bedre tider framover, og prøver å finne igjen gnisten og lysten til å skape noe. En annen side ved dette, som er langt hyggeligere, er at jeg og min mann venter vårt første barn i august:) Svangerskapet har ikke bare vært enkelt, men jeg har et håp om at det værste er tilbakelagt nå. Vi gleder oss veldig til å bli foreldre begge to, og vi vet vi går en spennende tid i møte. Jeg vil takke dere som så trofast har fulgt meg i tiden som har vært, dere betyr utrolig mye for meg! Jeg savner både å være kreativ og å være en del av denne verdenen med alle dere fantastiske kortlagere! Takk for all inspirasjon!

Under her kommer det to kort som jeg ble spurt om å lage til desembernummeret av "Ett Trykk" ifjor. Det var virkelig en ære å bli spurt og dette er mine første publiserte kort:)
***
Hi all blogfriends!
You are probably wondering if I'm totally lost in blogland, since NOTHING has happened her for ages! I just wanted to say that I'm truly sorry for being such a bad blogger, it has really not been my intention. To make a long story short, there's been some tough stuff going on in my life that has led to this creative break. I also had to make a very tough and sad desicion to step down from the designteam at Stamptacular as a result of this. I sincerely hope to reconnect with this side of me and be creative again. Another side to this, and a far more joyful one, it that my husband and I are expecting our first child this August:) The pregnancy has not been very easy, but hopefully the toughest part is behind us now. We are both thrilled at the idea of becoming parents, and we know we have an exciting time ahead of us. I just want to send out a big thank you to all who has followed my blog, you mean the world to me! I really miss being creative and being a part of this world with you amazing cardmakers! Thank you for all your inspiration!

Below is two cards that was published in the norwegian magazine "Ett Trykk" in December 09. I was really honoured to be asked and these are my first published cards :)

Snakk om å slå tre fluer i et smekk.. :)
Det er søndag hvilket betyr en helt ny og spennende utfordring fra Stamptacular Sunday Challenge blog! Denne gang ønsker vi å se ulike posjekter og IKKE kort, og temaet for utfordringen er "Sweat treat".

Det er jeg som sponser denne utfordringen, og premien du kan vinne er hÄnglar & stÄnglar stempelet du ser bilde av under:

Og slik løste jeg ukens oppgave:
Dette er en "treat bag cover" som jeg laget med utgangspunkt i en tutorial jeg kom over. Tutorialen kan du finne HER.

Hjertet er kuttet ut med Spellbinderhjerte og pyntet rundt med små perler. Inni er det en clearbag som du ser gjenskinnet av her. Bagen har jeg fylt med Lovehearts til min kjære mann:) Tekststempelet jeg har brukt på framsiden er fra Magnolia og sier "Sweet wonderful you".

Slik ser det ut fra siden, og du kan tydelig se clearbag'en.

Baksiden:

Valgte å gjøre baksiden veldig enkel. Brukte baksiden av det utkuttede hjertet fra framsiden og pyntet rundt det med små rosa perler. Pirkearbeid! Stempeled "Be my Valentine" er også fra Magnolia.
DP: Making Memories Paperie; Fabric Brocade Rouge Paperie

Jeg fant en tutorial på en form for pop-up kort på YouTube, men valgte å gjøre en litt annen vri på den. Tutorialen jeg tok utgangspunkt i kan du finne HER. Har valgt et kraftig mønstret dobbeltsidig papir så jeg har ikke pyntet så veldig mye.

Har malt Tilda med distress inks og har pyntet syrinene med stickles glitter i rosa

Et lite nærbilde av hengselen som brukes til pop-up effekten. Den er festet med små skruebrads.

Slik ser det ut når man dra ut hengselet- bildet reiser seg opp (nesten som et Easel kort) og avdekker hilsenen under

Teksten er en rub-on fra Nors Stempelblad

Dette er innsiden av kortet. Har pyntet med det samme mønsterpapiret, og laget to paneler til tekst og hilsen.

Teksten er et stempel fra Norsk Stempelblad

Jeg har hatt lyst til å prøve meg på en slik hjemmelaget smell bong bong en god stund nå, og fant ut at denne utfordringen var den perfekte anledningen. Jeg har brukt en tutorial laget av den talentfulle Rachel Jakes på Whiff Of Joy Tutorials - & Inspirations blog. Du kan komme rett til den HER. Inni har jeg puttet en silkepapir krone og en vits:)

I've wanted to try out a homemade party cracker for quite some time now, and this was the perfect occasion. I've used a tutorial made by the very talented Rachel Jakes, and her tutorial is posted on the Whiff Of Joy Tutorials - & Inspirations blog. You can find the tutorial HERE.
Inside the cracker is a partyhat and a joke:)

Jeg har laget litt ekstra pynt på endene med litt vanlig kopipapir, har brukt en Martha Stewart punch og svertet med Cats eye Chalk.

I've given it a little extra decoration on the ends with some thin paper from my copier, used a Martha Stewart punch and some Cats eye Chalk.

Har brukt et eldre stempel fra hÄnglar & stÄnglar som jeg har malt med distress ink, kuttet ut i cuttlebuggen, og pyntet med litt stickles.

I've used an older stamp from Hanglar, painted it with my distress inks, cut it out with spellbinders and added some stickles.

Jeg ville gjerne ha med en liten nyttårshilsen og da ble dette løsningen jeg kom fram til.

I really wanted to add a new years greeting and this was the solution I came up with.

Hilsenen er laget med rubons fra Doodlebug og sier; et riktig godt nytt år til deg!

The greeting is made with rubons from Doodlebug and it says; a very happy new year to you!

DP: Magnolia Collection
Stamp: hÄnglar & stÄnglar
Accessories: Prima bling, Ranger stickles, ribbon from Søstrene Grene, Martha Stewart border punch, jumpring, rubons from Doodlebug, cracker.

It is time for a brand new challenge at Stamptacular Sunday Challenge blog called "NATURE-tacular!" We wish to see cards/projects with the typical colors you find outside in the fall.

Our sponsor this time is Cute Stamps and Cards and the fabulous prize for you to win are these 4 Magnolia stamps:

Her er mitt DT bidrag denne uken, har brukt en herlig hÄnglarjente fra årets vårkolleksjon og noen nydelige papirer fra Maja Design. Har pusset alle kanter og distresset med Cats eye Chalk. Den søte teksten er fra Magnolia og oppsettet er fra denne ukes skisse fra Mojo Monday. Den kan du finne her.

Here is my DT submission this week. I've used one of the adorable Hanglargirls from this years Spring Collection. The papers are from Maja Design and they are sooo gorgous! I've sanded all the edges and distressed with Cats eye Chalk. The sweet sentiment is from Magnolia and the layout is after this weeks sketch from Mojo Monday. You can find it here.

Har gjort innsiden veldig enkel denne gangen, har brukt samme grunnoppsettet fra utsiden.

DT Stamptacular Sunday Challenge "Turkey time!l"

2009-11-15T12:00:00.005+01:00

Thanks for your kindness

***

Happy Sunday everyone! Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! It's time for a brand new challenge at SSC and with Thanksgiving around the corner it is now "Turkey time!". Here in my homecountry we don't celebrate Thanksgiving and therefor I don't own anything related to it. However I thought about the content of the celebration, about being thankful, and so I made a card for a friend to show my appreciation of that person being in my life.

God søndag alle sammen! Håper dere har hatt en flott helg så langt!
Det er tid for en helt ny utfordring hos SSC og med Thanksgiving rett rundt hjørnet er det nå "Turkey time!". Vi feirer jo ikke det her i gamlelandet så derfor eier jeg heller ingenting relatert til det. Jeg funderte litt på det og kom fram til at innholdet i feiringen er jo å være takknemlig, så derfor bestemte jeg meg for å lage et kort til en venn for å vise min takknemlighet for å ha akkurat denne personen i mitt liv.

Our sponsor this week is Simon Says Stamp and the prize is:

$25.00 Gift Certificate and FREE shipping

I found a recipe for something called a shadow box card and I just had to try it out! It's not too difficult to make and it is good to make something different. If you want to try one too you can find a great tutorial HERE

Jeg fant en tutorial for å lage noe kalt shadow box card og måtte bare prøve det ut! Det er faktisk ikke så vanskelig og det er gøy å lage noe litt annerledes. Hvis du har lyst til å prøve en og kan du finne en flott tutorial HER

A merry and bright wintery card in blue, white and silver with lots of glitter!

2009-11-14T22:20:00.005+01:00

Never ending stoory lalalalalalalalalala!

Beklager så mye hvis jeg nå gav deg en marete sang på hjernen, men jeg kunne bare ikke dy meg! HEHE! Du skjønner jeg har laga et Never Ending Card og da hoppa bare denne sangen helt plutselig inn i hjernen min:) Jeg lover at det går over veldig snart.. Nå over til kortet jeg vil vise dere. Det har vært både artig og tidkrevende, jeg har kutta MYE papir og så er det alle detaljene som så skulle passe sammen. Jeg fant linken til tutorialen på Lilly of the Valley, og du kan ta en titt HER hvis du er interessert. Det er ikke veldig lett å vise fram dette kortet på en god måte med bilder (skulle helst vært video), men jeg håper du får en ide om åssen det er live.
***

Sorry if I gave you a naging song on the brain just now but I just couldn't help myself! LOL! You see, I've made a Never Ending Card and this song just popped in my head right away:) I promise it'll pass any time soon.. Now over to the card I wanna show you. It's been both fun and time consuming to make, a LOT of paper to cut and glue, and then all the details that had to come together, BUT I finished it earlier today and now I have the time to publish it. I found a great tutorial as a link from Lilly of the Valley and you can check it out HERE if you like :) It's not as easy to show the card in a proper way through pictures, but I hope you get the general idea.

***
Framsiden: Tekststempelet er fra KH Design og sier "Gledelig Jul"
***
The front: The sentiment is from KH Design and says "Merry Christmas"

Så åpner du kortet ved å brette ut sidene til venstre og høyre
Then you open the card by opening up the left and right side of the card:

Innsiden etter den første bretten. Er ikke helt fornøyd siden man strengt tatt kanskje ikke skulle sett noe av hverken den stemplede teksten eller Tilda.. Teksten sier: Himmelske gleder daler ned som vakre snøkrystaller og gir lys i vintermørket"
***
The inside after the first fold. I'm not totally pleased with it since you probably shouldn't be able to see either Tilda or the stamped sentiment on the nest fold.. The sentiment says; " Heavenly joys comes down like beautiful snowcrystals and gives light in the winter dark"

De neste to bildene viser neste brett hvor man løfter opp teksten og snømannen for å avdekke det som er bak.
***
The next two pictures show the next fold where you lift the sentiment and the snowman to reveal what's behind.

Her ligger en tenkende Tilda med den passende teksten "Tid til ettertanke" Jeg har pyntet med litt blonde og perler.
***
Here lies Tilda thinking and the sentiment besides her says " Time for contemplation". I've decorated with some lace and silvery pearls.

Her kommer den neste bretten og som du ser er den mellom Tilda og teksten og du bretter disse sidene bakover.
***
Here comes the next fold and as you can see it comes between Tilda and the sentiment when you fold the sides backwards.

Du har nå kommet til den nest siste bretten av kortet og her har jeg dekorert med noen julegaver fra Magnolia og teksten fra Anka Design sier "Snipp, snapp, snute, så er ventetiden ute!"
***
You've now reached the second last fold on the card and here I have decorated with some Christmas gifts from Magnolia and a sentiment from Anka Design that says:" Snipp, snapp, snute then the wait is over!" (I don't know how to translate the three first words, it's a norwegian term we use at the end of a fairytale).

Her kommer altså den siste bretten, og som du ser på bildet er du nå komme til begynnelsen av kortet igjen!!! Som navnet "Never Ending Card" sier, kan du altså brette og brette det rundt så lenge du gidder uten at det stopper:) Akkurat som tittelen sier gitt! ;)
***
Here comes the final fold, and as you can see on the picture below you're now at the beginning of the card again!!! Like the name "Never Ending Card" says, you can fold it and fold it for as long as you can be bothered without it stopping:) Just like the title says! ;)

This card covers 4 different challenges:

Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge "Four seasons"
Charisma Cardz: "Merry & Bright"
Cute Card Thursday: "Glitter me Silly!"
Colour Create: "Blue, Silver and White"

CS: Bazzill blue & white

A distressed, snowy and blingy easel card!

2009-11-10T11:22:00.012+01:00

Good Tuesday to you all!

Here comes a new Christmas card from me, been in a Christmasy mood lately and with the brand new stamps and papers from Magnolia I'm just in heaven! The stamps are sooo adorable and those papers are so yummy! My sewingmachine has gone warm on this card lol, I just love that look with the distressing. I've actually managed to cover 5 challenges(!!!) with this card, that's pretty good I think! :) I've made an EASEL CARD which is this weeks challenge over at Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge.
At Cupcake Craft Challenge they want to see SNOW in some form on your card and at Allsorts Challenge they want you to bring out the BLING. Last but not least, at Just Magnolia and Everybody-Art-Challenge they want to see DISTRESSING on your project and here is what I came up with:

Here the card lies folded together. I've made a solution to keep it together (got pictures further down) so it easily can be mailed to the recipient.

Here's some pictures of the standing EASEL CARD from different angles

The sentiment I've used is from Ladybugandfriends and the sentiment says "A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year". As you can see I've used one of the snowflakes to support the card when it stands.

I chose to decorate the back of the card too, but I made it very simple using a paper doily. I've put on a pair of snaps to close the card so it can lie flat.

A little closeup on the closing mechanism

This is the bottom of the card, or the back when it's closed together. Decorated with some snowflakes, brown strawthingy (never remember the name..) and my personal stamp

Papertake Weekly does Roses On Paper...

2009-11-05T21:45:00.003+01:00

God Jul / Merry Christmas
Jeg fikk disse helt nye Magnolia stemplene fra Jolly Collection hjem i posten idag så jeg måtte bare ta fram blekket og leke litt!! Er de ikke bare helt herlige?! Jeg finner sjelden tid til å være med i andre utfordringer, men idag bestemte jeg meg rett og slett for å prioritere det og resultatet kommer her. Jeg brukte skissen på utfordringen hos Papertake Weekly Challenge og på Roses on Paper and Belles'n Whistles Combined Challenge hadde de temaet Jul så da slo jeg to fluer i ett smekk:)

DT Stamptacular Sunday Challenge Blog "Friendship"

2009-11-01T12:00:00.000+01:00

It's Sunday and time for a brand new challenge at Stamtacular Sunday Challenge blog. This time we want you to make a card for a special friend. I've made a card with one of the newest little angels from hÄnglar och stÄnglar called "Kram tjej" og "Hugging girl" if you like. I think she's just adorable and perfect for a card for a friend. I've used a text stamp from Norsk Stempelblad which says "Warm hugs". The beautiful papers are all from Maja Design.

Det er søndag og tid for en ny utfordring hos Stamptacular Sunday Challenge blog.
Denne gangen ønsker vi at dere lager kort til en spesiell venn. Jeg har brukt "Kram tjej" fra hÄnglar och stÄnglar. Jeg syns hun er så herlig og helt perfekt til et vennekort. Jeg har og brukt tekststempel fra Norsk Stempelblad med teksten "Varme klemmer". De nydelige papirene jeg har brukt er alle fra Maja Design.

This week we are also lucky to have two sponsors for our challenge, both with great prizes!
Our first sponsors this week is our very own Liza, and the price is this snowflake embossing folder from Cuttlebug.

Our second sponsor this week is Doodle street by Cassandra
Prize: one digi-image of winner's choice

Now over to my card for the challenge..

I had a hard time getting good photos of my card this time. I've showered my card in Glimmer mist so it keeps reflecting in the photos. I added this photo so you can see the shimmer that covers the card. It's not so noticeable in real life.

Jeg sleit litt for å få gode bilder denne gangen. Hele kortet er sprayet med Glimmer mist og derfor reflekteres det i alle bildene. Jeg valgte å ta med dette bildet for å vis hvordan det shimrer, det er ikke like tydelig i virkeligheten

The inside/Innsiden:

Beautiful butterflies...
Nydelige sommerfugler...

The sentiment on the inside:
A hug is like a handshake from the heart

Baksiden/The back: On the back I've used the same layout as the front, the rubon says "Friendship"

CS: Bazzill
DP: Maja Design
Stamps: hÄnglar och stÄnglar Kram tjej, Norsk Stempelblad
Accessories: Scrappersfloss, charms and flowers from Hobbyhimmelen, qk-leaves, prima roses, Karen Marie Klip butterflies (Panduro), Glimmermist Tattered Rose, Fiskars punch, ribbon from Papirloftet, rubons from Norsk Stempelblad.

DT Stamptacular Sunday Challenge "It's Fall Y'all"

It's time for a brand new challenge at the Stamptacular Sunday Challenge blog called It's Fall Y'all! Our sponsor this week is Shaz from Funkyfairys Papercrafts and the fabulous prize you can win are these gorgous papers:

Here is my DT submission for this weeks challenge. I just love these earthly colors and the gorgous papers from Maja Design is a joy to work with:) I've masked together 3 stamps from Magnolias Fall Collection last year. I've painted with my Distress Inks as always, and put some Diamond Glaze on the orange flowers.

Her er mitt DT bidrag for denne ukes utfordring. Vi ønsker altså å se kort/prosjekter med høstlig tema. Jeg simpelthen elsker disse fargene, og det er en fryd å kunne leke med de lekre papirene fra Maja Design:) Har maskert sammen tre stempler fra forrige års høstkit fra Magnolia. Jeg har malt med distressene mine som alltid og har putte litt Diamond Glaze på de orange blomstene.
On the left side I've put in a little tag with some Autumn Wishes. The sentiment is also from Magnolia. I've used a Fiskars punch on the tag.

Jeg har puttet inn en tag på venstre side av kortet og på denne er det en liten høsthilsen. Teksten er også et stempel fra Magnolia. Jeg har brukt en Fiskars punch på enden.

A little closeup...

The inside:

This is the text on the inside of the card. This is written and printed out on my computer.

Dette er teksten på innsiden av kortet. Den er skrevet og printet ut fra pc. Teksten sier; Høsten er som en annen vår der hvert eneste blad er en blomst.

DT Stamptacular Sunday Challenge "SPOOKTACULAR"

2009-10-18T12:00:00.002+02:00

It's time for a brand new challenge at Stamptacular Sunday Challenge blog - if you dare! It's gonna be a bit SPOOKY so brace yourself for what's to come! Booooo! This week we have two sponsors for our challenge.
First up is Digital Stamp Oasis
and the second sponsor this week is
Simon Says Stamps

--

Halloween isn't a big thing here in Norway, and therefor I didn't own stamps, pumpkins or anything close to spo0ky. Thankfully I could borrow this adorable Magnolia stamp so I could make something for this challenge. Thank you Kristin! I've made a giftbag out of a brown paperbag, ready to be filled with some trick or treat candy:) The fence behind Tilda is handdrawn ( I know it's a stamp but I didn't have it..)

Halloween er ikke akkurat en stor greie her i vårt hjemland, og strengt tatt ikke min greie heller.. Jeg eier derfor ikke noen stempler, gresskar eller noe i nærheten av skummelt. Heldigvis fikk jeg låne dette skjønne stempelet så jeg kunne få laget noe til denne utfordringen. Takk Kristin! Jeg har laget en gavepose av en brun papirpose, og den er klar til å bli fylt til randen med deilig godteri:) Gjerdet bak Tilda er tegnet for hånd (jeg vet det er et stempel, men jeg hadde det ikke for hånden..)

I just love this velvet ribbon! It's so gorgous!

Jeg bare elsker dette fløyelsbåndet! Det er så lekkert!

A little close up on the ripping, sewing and the cool bat paper in the background..

Et lite nærbilde på rivingen, syingen og det tøffe flaggermuspapiret i bakgrunnen..

I've made a little window who looks out on the moon and some bats flying. The window is made of a bit of plastic that I cut out of a cd-cover.

Jeg har lagd et lite vindu som ser ut på månen og noen flygende flaggermus. Vinduet er laget av plast som jeg har skjært ut av et cd-cover.

I've used some alphabet stamps from Papirdesign to write the words trick or treat.

Jeg har brukt alfabet stempler fra Papirdesign til å skrive ordene trick or treat

The back: I've used the same layout on the back and made a little window where I've put in my personal stamp. I've used Glimmermist Bronze on the whole bag and it's a cool shimmer in it!

Baksiden: Jeg har brukt samme oppsettet på baksiden, og jeg har laget et vindu hvor jeg har puttet inn mitt personlige stempel. Jeg har sprayet hele bag'en med Glimmer mist Bronse og det er en ganske stilig skinn i den.!

Here you can see the glimmer mist on the bats.

Her kan du se glimmer misten på flaggermusene.

DT Stamptacular Sunday Challenge "Character Counts!"

2009-10-11T12:00:00.000+02:00

Welcome back to a brand new challenge at SSC! Hope you all had fun with our challenge last week, I sure did! This weeks challenge is called "Character Counts!", and we wish to see some well known cartoon characters on your cards/projects. My choice fell on Eore from Winnie The Pooh. I've loved this little fella for as long as I can remember, I think it's his adorable way of being melancholic that just hits home with me. I'm a bit of melancholic myself.. I found this guy at Disneys site, printed him out and colored him in with my distress inks. If you wanna take a look at the different characters to choose from at their site go HERE

This weeks sponsor is
Your Next Stamp and the prize is this stampset called "Just Swimming By"

Velkommen tilbake til en ny utfordring hos SSC! Håper dere hadde det gøy med utfordringen vår forrige uke, det hadde i allefall jeg! Utfordringen denne uken er kalt "Character Counts!" og vi ønsker å se noen velkjente figurer på kort og prosjekter denne uken. Mitt valg falt fort på Tussi, jeg har vel hatt en forkjærlighet for han så lenge jeg kan huske. Han har en sånn herlig melankoli over seg som jeg ikke kan motstå. Er nok en liten melankoliker i meg og... Jeg fant denne karen på Disney sin side, printa han ut og fargela han med distress inkene mine. Hvis du vil ta en titt og se om du finner noe du kan bruke besøk DENNE siden.

A little closeup on Eore, the rubon says "Miss You"

These beautiful flowers are from Prima, and the blue ones come from a new line called Painterly Petals Hydrangeas. I've put the roses in the middle and distressed them a little with Cats eye chalk.

Disse nydelige blomstene er fra Prima, og de blå kommer fra en nye serie kalt Painterly Petals Hydrangeas. Jeg har puttet roser i midten og distressa litt med brun Cats eye chalk.

The inside:
Innsiden:

The sentiment is from Ladybugandfriends and it says; "Even if it rains and the day is grey, the sun shines when I think of you"

The back: I've used the same layout on the back and added my personal stamp. You might have notice a little difference though, I forgot to draw the stitching on the two little buttonstraps.. but they're on it now!

Baksiden: Jeg har brukt samme oppsett på baksiden og satt på mitt personlige stempel. Du har kanskje lagt merke til en liten forskjell da.. jeg glemte nemlig å tegne på de hvite strekene på de to blå bitene på knapper på.. men de er på nå da!

OCTOBER BONUS FUN DAY

YES! You found the right post!

This is MY favourite stamp, the cute Tilda With Rose from Magnolia. The reason why I love this stamp is the fact that I just can't resist her, she's so darn cute! She's so versatile and you can use her in whatever occasion your card/project might be. She's a dream to color! Last but not least, I love her because she reprecents a cause. She was made for the Pink Collection, a range of stamps from Magnolia that was made to support the fight against breast cancer. Here is the last card I used this stamp on, it was a birthdaycard for my best friend.

Now please take the time to tell me what you think about my favourite stamp in the comment section below, that way I know you were here!

I would love for you to join in my EXTRA FUN and I can't wait to see what you come up with!

Now if you're ready for your next stop on the way, please hop on to Simonne!

Here's my DT submission for this weeks challenge, and I've used a foldingtechnique created by Turid Mari. I've wanted to try it out for ages, but never got to it until now. It's so much fun and I'm definately gonna use it again. This technique was used in a challenge at StampARTic earlier this year and you can find the tutorial HERE. Get ready for A LOT of pictures! LOL!

Her er mitt DT bidrag for denne ukens utfordring kalt "Pull Out!". Jeg har brukt en bretteteknikk laget av Turid Mari. Denne ble gitt som en utfordring på hos StampARTic tidligere i år, og jeg hadde en plan om å prøve den ut en gang. Det er en artig bretteteknikk og kortet byr på noen overraskelser når du åpner det;) Tutorialen til denne bretteteknikken kan du finne HER.

Her har jeg åpnet den første delen (delen til venstre er baksiden av fronten). Jeg har laget en liten lomme hvor jeg har puttet inn en liten tag.

Here I have opened the first part (the part you see to the left is the back of the front with Tilda). I've made a little pocket where I've put a little tag you can pull out.

The text on the little tag says "Christmas hug"

Here is a little closeup on Tilda on the inside of the card. I've used a stamp from Anka Design which I think is perfect with this waiting Tilda. The sentiment is a bit difficult to translate, it's based on a frase we use in Norway when we finish a story or fairytale. But the main point is that the waiting for Christmas finally is over.

Her er et nærbilde av Tilda på innsiden av kortet. Har brukt et tekststempel fra Anka Design og jeg syns det passet perfekt med denne ventende Tilda.

Here you can see what's behind the waiting Tilda, it's fun cause it's like the card contains it's own little secret:) There's a panel where you can write your personal greeting and then theres the pocket containing two tags.

Her kan du se hva som kommer fram bak den ventende Tilda'en. Det er litt artig for det er akkurat som kortet har sin egen lille hemmelighet:)
Her er det plass til å skrive en liten personlig hilsen, og nedenfor har jeg laget en lomme som inneholder to tag'er.

The text on the pocket is from the brand new collection at Norsk Stempelblad and the sentiment says; "Merry Christmas (in big letters) Joy, Caring, Warmth, Light, Time, Laughter, Memories, Celebration"

The tags has been pimped with some left over tulle from our wedding. Just love the texture!

Har pimpa opp tagene med litt tyllrester fra bryllupet. Digger det!

Both tags also has sentiments from the new collection from Norsk Stempelblad. The sentiment on this one says; "A lot of Christmas hugs og good wishes for the new year"

This one says; " Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year"

The back with my personal stamp
Baksiden med mitt personlige stempel

A little closeup to show the adorable snowflake charm that I've used on both the back and front. I've tied some string around the tulle that ties the card together and used a jumpring to attatch the charm.

Her er et lite nærbilde av den herlige snøfnugg charmen som jeg har brukt både på fronten og baksiden av kortet. Jeg har knytta blå tråd rund tyllen som knytter kortet sammen og brukte en jumpring til å henge fast charmen.

Just Magnolia "Bevs Sketch" and Roses on Paper "stitching"

2009-09-21T18:25:00.001+02:00

Good Monday people! With the time I have at home these days I'm finally being productive again, so I'm gonna keep on creating as long as my mojo is here:) It also helps that I've finally figured out how the wonderous Bind It All machine works, and I just had to make another notebook!!
This book is made after Bevs sketch at Just Magnolia. It was so much fun to work with, which really helps since I do like to coordinate both the back and front of the notebook;) With my faux stitching it also qualifies for this weeks challenge at Roses on Paper. This time I used another beauty from Magnolia, little Tilda with cherry dress is sooo adorable! Together with this new yummy papers from the Magnolia Collection it turned out a little cherrydream:) I didn't want to use too much embellishments, the papers are so beautiful in itself.

The front:

This heart is quite big and heavy but I love it! It's bought at a local store who sadly burned down earlier this year.

This little charm is on the back of the book. I was gonna use the same ribbon as on the front, but I couldn't find any more of it.. :( the string is quite decorative so I went with that.

The back:
CS: Bazzill
DP: Magnolia Collection
Stamp: Tilda with cherry dress
Accessories: MM Tiny alphas, ribbon and string from my stash, pearls from Kort og Godt, flowers from Prima, stickles from Ranger, big heart from local store, heart charm from Lenes Hobbyshop, Martha Stewart punch

DT Stamptacular Sunday Challenge "Anything BUT a card!"

2009-09-20T12:00:00.002+02:00

Her er mitt DT bidrag til denne ukes utfordring på Stamptacular Sunday Challenge blog. Utfordringen var å lage alt annet enn et kort, så da var det på tide å endelig teste ut min rååååsa Bind It All maskin:) Jeg kjøpte den på Scraporama, men har ikke fått testet ut vidunderet før nå..kremt. Nå vet jeg åssen den fungerer så det vil nok komme flere produkter i denne kategorien framover;) Har brukt nydelige papirer fra Maja Design og denne drømmende Tilda måtte bare få pryde forsiden!
***
Here is my DT submission for this weeks challenge at Stamptacular Sunday Challenge blog. The challenge this week was to create anything but a card, so I felt the time was right to try out my PINK Bind It All machine:) I actually bought it on the fear at Scraporama earlier this year, but haven't gotten around to test the wonder before now.. Now that I know how it works there will be more creative products in this range in the near future;) I've used some gorgous papers from Maja Design and this dreamy little Tilda just had to be on the cover!

***

Jeg har klipt Tilda ut og satt henne på 3d puter.
I've cut Tilda out and 3d cushioned her.

Noen detaljer...
Some details...

Innsiden: På innsiden av permen har jeg tenkt å sette inn en personlig hilsen til mottakeren. Permen på baksiden ser likedan ut og kan også gjøres mer personlig.
The inside: On the inside of the cover I'm gonna put a personal greeting to the recipient, therefore it's empty at the moment. The cover on the back looks the same and can also be made more personal.

Har laget denne labelen med et stempel fra hÄnglar & stÄnglar, deretter brukt rubons bokstaver fra Doodlebug til å skrive ordet "tilhører".

I've made this label using a stamp from hanglar, then I've written the word "tilhører" which means "This belongs to" with rubon letters from Doodlebug.

Baksiden: Her har jeg brukt samme layout som på framsiden, bare charmen er annerledes. Her henger det et hjerte som sier "made with love".

The back: I've used the same layout as the front, the only thing different is the heart charm that says "made with love".

CS: Bazzill
DP: Maja Design
Stamps: Magnolia, Norsk Stempelblad, hÄnglar & stÄnglar
Accessories: ribbon from All that scraps, charms from Hobbyhimmelen and Lenes Hobbyshop, flowers from Papirgleder, lace and pearls from Kort og Godt, Fiskars Heart Border punch, rubons from Doodlebug, sticles from Ranger.

A Spoon Full Of Sugar "Fall into Autumn" & Papertake Weekly "Faking it"

2009-09-17T13:28:00.011+02:00

Here's finallly a challenge card from me! I think it must be at least a year since I last entered a challenge besides my DT submissions for SSC... I'm home from work at the moment on sickleave, don't know for how long yet, so now I'm trying to recover by getting back to one of my passions. I actually struggled for ages with this, and I'm not to happy with it, but I had to start somewhere. I love these papers from MME and think they are perfect for both Spring and Autumn. I used this sweet Tilda from last years Autumn Kit from Magnolia (now I'm waiting for the new one..). I've entered this card to the challenge at ASFOS with their Autumn themed challenge and with my die cut flowers and leaves I can also enter it in the challenge at PPW this week:)

I was gonna put the tag between the two dp's but my sewing machine just kept on sewing and the opening was gone... so I had to 3D cushion the image and put it there instead;)

A little closeup on the umbrella charm...

...and the sentiment says; "Even if it rains and the day is grey, the sun is shining when I think of you!"

The inside...

A little closer look at the inside... The sentiment is a rubon and says; You bright up the day

a little closer look on the other side, here you can write a personal greeting

The back..

a closeup on the die cut flower with my personal stamp on it..

DT Stamptacular Sunday Challenge "sketch"

2009-09-13T12:00:00.000+02:00

Endelig et nytt kort fra meg! En del tøffe ting på den private fronten har ført til en uønsket og veldig laaaaaang bloggpause. Nå prøver jeg å komme igang igjen og håper at det skal komme litt mer i bloggen min framover. Tusen takk til alle dere som har besøkt meg og lagt igjen spor etter dere, på tross av at jeg ikke har vært å se eller høre fra. Det betyr utrolig mye for meg! Nå over til dagens kort (det første jeg har laget på en mnd..). Dette er mitt DT bidrag til ukens skisse utfordring på SSC. Jeg har virkelig kost meg og har fråtset i nydelige produkter fra Maja Design, Hobbyhimmelen og Papirloftet:) Kortet har nå funnet sitt nye hjem hos en kollega av meg som nettopp har bestått prøven til Barne og Ungdomsarbeider:)

Finally a new card from me!! Some struggles of personal character has led to an unwanted and very looooong blogbreak for me. Now I'm trying to get back on track and hopefully there will be some more postings in my blog in the time to come. Thank you so much to all of you who has visited my blog and left me comments during this time, I really appreciate it! Now on to the card(the first one I've made in a month..). This is my DT submission to this weeks sketch challenge at SSC. I've really enjoyed making it and I've just drowned myself in delicious products from Maja Design, Hobbyhimmelen and Papirloftet. The card has now found it's new home with one of my colleagues, she just took an exam and now has a new title as a Children and Youth Worker (my own translation;))

Lagde en liten tag med WW punchen, rubons fra Doodlebug og et dåpshjerte fra Hobbyhimmelen.
Made a little tag with the WW punch, rubons from Doodlebug and a heartcharm from Hobbyhimmelen.

Et lite nærbilde av søte Tilda. Har maskert sammen Tilda med det gamle valentinbrevet. Har og brukt glossy accent på rosene.
A little closeup of sweet Tilda. I've masked her together with the olde valentine letter. I've also used glossy accent on the roses to make them pop.

Innside: Jeg har brukt et tekststempel fra Stempelglede som sier "Magi er å ha tro på deg selv. Hvis du klarer det kan du få hva som helst til å skje".
The inside: I've used a sentiment from Stempelglede which says:"Magic is to believe in yourself. If you can do that you can make anything happen".

2009-07-19T11:59:00.000+02:00

Her er mitt DT bidrag for denne ukes utfordring på Stamptacular Sunday Challenge blog kalt "A shapetacular card!" Jeg har valgt å lage et tag-kort, har nemlig hatt så lyst til å lage dette i lange tider. Blei et veldig stilrent et fra meg denne gangen, men jeg skal absolutt lage det igjen, kanskje med litt vintage preg.. ;) Har brukt to stempler fra Magnolia denne gang, det ene fra Påske kolleksjonen, og det andre er helt nytt fra Sommerkit'et. Jeg elsker is så det måtte bare få bli med på sommerkortet mitt :) Åpningen er laget med en av nestabilities sirkel, bare limte alt sammen og rulla igjennom i cuttlebuggen. Skulle nok ha stoppa litt før, men nå har jeg i allefall lært til neste gang! ;)
**
Here is my DT submission for this weeks challenge at Stamptacular Sunday Challenge blog called "A shapetacular card!". I've made a tag-card, I've been wanting to try this out for ages. It's a clean and simple look from me this time, but I'm definately gonna try this again, maybe with a little more vintage look.. ;) I've used two stamps from Magnolia, the first one is from the Easter collection, and the other one is brand new from the Summer kit. I just love icecream so I had to take her with me in my summer card:) The opening is made with a nestabilities circle, just glued everything togheter and rolled it through my cuttlebug. I think I should have stopped a little sooner, but at least I've learned before the next time! ;)

Innsiden: Har laget et panel til å skrive på og en liten lomme til tag'en. Teksten på tag'en sier "Du er så søt"
The inside: I've made a little panel to write on and a pocket for the tag. The tag says "Yoy're so sweet"

DT Stamptacular Sunday Challenge "Christmas in July"

2009-07-05T12:00:00.002+02:00

Bjelleklang, bjelleklang...
Her er mitt DT bidrag til ukens utfordring på Stamptacular Sunday Challenge blog kalt "Christmas in July". Her ønsker vi altså å se litt jul i en av de varmeste tidene på året! Var litt rart å finne fram den stemninga akkurat nå, men kan jo være greit å få spredd det litt utover året og så ikke alt må bli laget i siste lita! ;) Har laget et kort med skuff, er en del av de rundt i bloggland nå så jeg måtte jo prøve det ut. Hadde ingen mal for hånd så jeg har laget min egen, den er 10x10 cm i størrelse. Har maskert sammen Tilda og benken og malt med mine distress reinkere som alltid.
***
Jingle bells, jingle bells..
Here is my DT submisson for this weeks challenge at Stamptacular Sunday Challenge blog called "Christmas in July". So we wish to see you all christmasy in the hottest time of the year! I found it a bit weird to bring out the jolly feeling right now, but I guess it's just an advantage to get some of it done now instead of the last month before Christmas! ;) I've mad a card with a drawer, I've seen quite a lot of these around in blogland so I had to give it a try myself. I didn't have any tutorial og measurements to follow so I made my own. The box is approximately 10x10 cm. I've masked together Tilda with the bench and painted with my distress ink refills as always. The sentiment on the front says; "Time for Joy"

Inside the drawer there is a sentiment that says; "May your Christmas celebration be filled with warmth and happiness!"

Her er kortet vippa opp for å vise hvordan det hele hører sammen..
Here the card part is open for you to see how it all ties together..

Innsiden av kortet/The inside of the card: The sentiment says; "With hope of a peaceful Christmas to you and your family"

Som dere ser så har jeg denne gangen laget et kort og alterert en blomsterboks fra Prima, begge med matchende papir og bånd:)

Here is my DT submission for the 13th(!) challenge at Stamptacular Sunday Challenge blog. This weeks theme is called "Party Animal" and I've used this fun stamp from Penny Black. As you can see I've made a card and altered an old flowerbox from Prima, both in matching papers and ribbon:)

Et lite nærbilde.. jeg har kutta vekk noe av motivet for at det skulle passe i sirkelen..
A little closeup.. I had to cut away some of the image to make it fit the circle..

DT Stamptacular Sunday Challenge "Red, White, Blue and a STAR too!"

2009-06-21T12:00:00.001+02:00

Her er mitt DT bidrag til denne ukes utfordring hos Stamptacular Sunday Challenge blog hvor vi ønker å se prosjekter med fargene rød, hvit og blå OG en stjerne (eller fler). Jeg har valgt å lage et guttekort, siden jeg allerede var inne i mood'en etter de foregående utfordringene. Er ikke akkurat dreven på guttekort så fant ut at jeg skulle smi mens jernet er varmt. Kommer tidsnok tilbake til jentete dill og dall igjen;) Har brukt Edwin med caps og fargelagt han med distress ink. Den røde lukkemekanismen er faktisk en skinntag fra Prima. Jeg hadde selvfølgelig bare denne ene, så de andre er laget av rødt Bazzill papir som jeg har klipt ut og sydd rundt. Har også sydd en del både på utsiden og innsiden, men det synes nok litt dårlig på bildet.. Det går an å klikke på det for å få en forstørrelse.

***
Here is my DT submission for this weeks challenge at Stamptacular Sunday Challenge blog called "Red, White. Blue and a STAR too!". A colorchallenge with a twist;) I've made a boy card this week too. I'm still on a learning curve when it comes to this, but I thought I should take advantage of the flow I'm in from the previous challenges. I'll get back to the girlie pink stuff soon enough;) I've used Edwin with cap and I've painted him with my distress reinkers. The closing mechanism is made from a Prima leather tag. Of course there is only one of each in the package so I had to make the others with red Bazzill paper and sew around it. I've also sewn quite a bit on both the inside and outsid, but I guess it doesn't show so good in the pictures. You can click the image for a larger view.

The text says "Congratulations"

Ps! Jeg har litt problemer med en tilbakevendende brun blogbakgrunn, så beklager så mye hvis den er uleselig til tider. Den skal egentlig være lys med en shabby bakgrunn så noen ganger hjelper det å trykke oppdater knappen oppe i menyen. Takk!

DT Stamptacular Sunday Challenge "Fathers Day"

2009-06-18T07:49:00.000+02:00

Her er mitt DT bidrag for denne ukes utfordring på Stamptacular Sunday Challenge kalt "Fathers Day". Nå er det riktignok ikke Farsdag i hjemlandet akkurat nå, og ikke er det noen fedre i familien å gi det til heller, så jeg har valgt å lage et mannlig kort uten mottaker foreløpig. Har brukt en kjekk kar fra hÄnglar & stÄnglar og fikk ideen til bukseselen derfra. Har brukt et båndrest jeg hadde liggende og et par knapper fra knappeskuffen min:) Syns det blei litt tøft om jeg kan si det sjøl:) :) Innsiden har jeg latt være åpen så lenge til jeg vet hvem som skal få det og kan gjøre det litt mer personlig.
***
Here is my DT submission for this weeks challenge at Stamptacular Sunday Challenge called "Fathers Day". It's not Fathers Day at this time of year in my homecountry, and with no fathers in the family either I've made a male card with no recepient at the moment. I've used this handsome bloke from hÄnglar & stÄnglar and this is where I got the idea for the suspender strap. I've used some left over ribbon and some buttons from my drawer, and it turned out pretty cool if I may say so myself :) :) I'v left the inside open for now until I know who'll get it and I can make it more personal.

Jeg har brukt en Hitch fastener fra Tim Holtz til å lage et håndtak for å åpne kortet.

Her er mitt DT bidrag til Stamptacular Sunday Challenge #10. Kan ikke fatte at vi alt er på den tiende utfordringa, tida går fort!

Here is my DT submission for this weeks challenge at Stamptacular Sunday Challenge called "One for the boys". I can't believe we're already on challenge #10, time has really flown!

The text on the front means "Congratulations"

Et lite nærbilde av den søte hÄnglargutten..eh jeg mener barske! ;)
A little closeup on the cute Hanglarboy.. eh I mean tough! ;)

This is my very first entry to the Just Magnolia challenge blog, I've wanted to since it started, but time has not been on my side for months now.. This is a birthday card for a little boy who turned 3 on June 1st. I've used a stamp from the Butterfly collection, and I just love this Edwin chasing bugs! The birthdayboy is completely obsessed with catching bugs at the moment so the image was just perfect for him:) The text means "Congratulations"

2009-05-31T12:02:00.001+02:00

Her er mitt DT bidrag til utfordring #9 hos Stamptacular Sunday Challenge blog med bryllupstema. Har valgt å gjøre et lite forsøk på litt vintage stil denne gangen, vet ikke hvor mye jeg lyktes men... Var gøy å prøve i allefall! Jeg har fått mye inspirasjon fra Jannhild sine fantastiske konvoluttkort i det siste og måtte til slutt gi etter og prøve selv:) Gjør deg selv den tjenesten og besøk bloggen hennes, hun lager helt fantastiske kreasjoner!!
Noe så genialt og enkelt! Dette skal jeg virkelig gjøre igjen:)

Here is my DT submission for Stamptacular Sunday Challenge #9 with a weddingtheme this time. I decided to try out the vintage style this time, not sure I succeded though.. but it sure was fun!

It's just so genious and simple at the same time! I'm really gonna use this again!

The little sentiment on the front says "Faith, hope and love"

Let The Summer Begin.. Blog Hop!

2009-05-31T12:01:00.007+02:00

Hi everyone!

I'm so glad you've been playing along with us for our first ever Blog Hop!
Before visiting me you should have already been to Paula and Nikki and seen their fabulous creations, read all about what they do during the summer AND left them some love by posting a comment on one of their blog entries! If not...please go back! You won't want to miss out on your chance to win the Grand Prize once you've made it through our Hop!

During the summer my husband and I always seem to have a lot of projects that needs to be done, but of course we enjoy the time off from work too! We try to be with our families as much as we can and just relax, barbeque, take the boat out and just feel the breeze swipe our faces. Good times! I'm a wimp when it comes to bathing so it has to be really hot water for me to jump in it, but it happens! LOL! I'm also a fond gardener and spend much time in our garden taking care of my beloved plants and bushes:) Summer is my favourite time of year and it just makes me smile and feel happy:)

Please let me know what makes you smile when Summer comes!

Included with this post are some of my past summery creations! Enjoy!

Your next stop on your Hop will be Priscillas blog! Have fun!

Beklager forsinkelsen (har vært på tur med jobb til Gøteborg fra torsdag-søndag) men her kommer endelig mitt DT bidrag til den femte utfordringen på Stamptacular Sunday Challenge kalt "Mums, the word!". Til denne utfordringen ønsker vi at dere lager noe som gir heder og takk til mødre og den fabelaktige jobben de gjør! Vi i teamet har fått leke med digitale stempler fra Sketching Stamper og dette var mitt aller første møte med digitale stempler! Jeg har malt motivet med distress ink, putta på diamond glaze, før alt ble sprayet med glimmermist old lace. ***
I'm so sorry for the delay (I've been on a trip to Gotenburg with work from thursday-sunday) but here's finally my DT card for the fith challenge at Stamptacular Sunday Challenge called "Mums, the word!".

En vanskelig dag og et vanskelig kort / A difficult day and a difficult card

2009-04-24T18:45:00.009+02:00

Hei alle bloggvenner.
Ville bare gi en liten forklaring på mitt fravær her i bloggverdenen den siste tiden. Min kjære svigerfar har kjempet en håpløs kamp mot kreft og sovnet inn i sitt eget hjem omkranset av sin familie på lørdag. Begravelsen var igår og vi er utrolig rørt over alle som møtte fram for å ta et siste farvel. Jeg har aldri laget et kondolansekort før, og det var tøft at det første skulle være til noen i så nær familie. Jeg håper dere forstår hvorfor jeg ikke har vært rundt og besøkt bloggene deres og lagt igjen kommentarer, jeg kommer sterkere tilbake! Jeg koser meg alltid når jeg kan hoppe rundt fra blogg til blogg og suge til meg inspirasjon fra alt det flotte dere lager! Ønsker dere alle en super helg, og stikk gjerne innom Stamptacular Sunday Challenge blog på søndag for en ny utfordring :)

Hi all blogfriends.
I just wanted to give you a little heads up on why I've been so abscent in the blogworld lately. My dear father-in-law faught a hopeless fight against cancer and passed away on Saturday in his own home surrounded by his family. The funeral was yesterday and we are all incredibly moved by the number of people who came to say their last goodbyes. I've never made a card for this occasion before, and it was tough to make it to someone so close to me. I hope you understand why I haven't been around lately to visit and leave you comments, I promise I'll come back soon! I really enjoy bloghoppiong and getting so much inspiration from all of your creations! I wish you all a wonderful weekend and please stop by the Stamptacular Sunday Challenge blog on Sunday for a new challenge:)

The sentiments means "With the deepest compassion"

The poem says; "No one is with us forever, time drifts away so fast, but the memories we can keep, to relieve when the loss is big" Jeg setter utrolig stor pris på at dere besøker meg og legger igjen så hyggelige kommentarer. Det varmer virkelig!

I really appreciate you visiting my blog and leaving me those wonderful comments. It warms my heart!

DT Stamptacular Sunday Challenge "Black and White + ONE"

2009-04-19T13:23:00.007+02:00

Her er mitt DT kort til den tredje utfordringen på Stamptacular Sunday Challenge blog kalt "Black and White + ONE". Har brukt et av stemplene fra Gorjuss Girls set 1 (og gleder meg forøvrig vilt til set 2 kommer i posten! :)) Tror vel aldri jeg har brukt akkurat disse fargene sammen før, men det er absolutt spennende å trå litt utenom det vanlige. Tror nok at jeg kommer til å bruke denne kombinasjonen igjen:) Klikk på bildet så får du en større utgave.

***
Here is my DT card for the third challenge at Stamptacular Sunday Challenge called "Black and White + ONE". I've used one of the stamps from Gorjuss Girls set 1 (and I can't wait to set 2 arrives in my mailbox!:)) I don't think I've ever used these colours together before but it is definately exciting to step outside of what I'm used to. I think I'm probably gonna use this colourcombo again:). The text on the front means "Congratulations". Click the image to get a larger view

På innsiden har jeg brukt nestabilitiesene mine og stiplet opp linjene for å markere de litt mer. Har brukt litt mer av tyllen og blingen som også er brukt på framsiden. Teksten er fra Stempelglede.
On the inside I've used my nestabilities and then I've drawn up some stitching to make them stand more out. I've used some more of the tulle and bling from the front. The sentiment is from Stempelglede and says: "Have a nice birthday"

The Sugar Bowl sketch by Tiets, Trykkpressa "striper" og A Spoon Full Of Sugar "To die for"

2009-04-15T18:02:00.007+02:00

Jeg hadde virkelig lyst til å få prøvd ut det fabelaktige skissa til Tiets hos The Sugar Bowl denne uka. Dagene har rett og slett flydd fra meg (igjen!), men her er kortet selv om jeg er ute litt i siste lita.. Hos A Spoon Full Of Sugar denne uka ville de se bruk av puncher og die cuts, og det har jeg jo begge deler av:) Til slutt er dette kortet også kvalifisert for Trykkpressa for april hvor oppgaven er å bruke striper i en eller annen form. Igjen må jeg beklage det dårlige lyset, bare trist og grått vær ute idag og:(
***
I really wanted to try out Tiets fabulous sketch over at The Sugar Bowl this week. The days has just run out of me (again!), but here it is even though I'm a bit late.. At A Spoon Full Of Sugar this week they wanted you to us punches or die cuts, and I've used both:) Finally my card is entering Trykkpressa where the assignment for April is to use stripes of some sort. Again I have to apologize for the bad lighting, the weather has been so grey and sad today:(

The sentiment "Gratulerer med dagen" means "Happy Birthday"

The sentiment "Ha en fin bursdag" means "Have a nice birthday"

.:Marius 8:.

2009-04-13T12:51:00.012+02:00

Min nevø Marius hadde bursdag nå i begynnelsen av april og da måtte jeg jo lage et kort til han. Guttekort er ikke min sterke side, men med litt god hjelp fra min kjære mann så ble det i allefall ikke for barnslig:) Har printa ut crosseren fra internett og malt den med distress ink refillers. Har brukt noe restepapir fra Sassafras Lass og har embossa den sorte kartongen under crosseren i cuttlebuggen.

Har brukt tiny alphas fra Making Memories inni rammen.

Siden han blei 8 år har jeg festa en rubons med tallet 8 på både hjelmen og brystet til crosskjøreren:)

Har laget en liten lomme til tag'en bak crosseren.

Teksten er fra Stempelglede og sier "Ha en fin bursdag"

Inni har jeg laget til en snor for å holde på plass pengene til bursdagsbarnet:)

Bildet er litt mørkt (det er et nitrist vær ute), men her er det plass til å skrive en liten hilsen

A Spoon Full Of Sugar # 47

2009-04-10T10:00:00.001+02:00

Her er mitt bidrag til denne ukens utfordring på ASFOS, der oppgaven var å ha med et årstall. Mitt tall er ikke veldig stort, men det var heller ikke tanken. Jeg har tatt utgangspunkt i en Toffifee eske og brukt den som mal. Det er altså en liten "skuff" man kan skyve ut som jeg har tenkt å fylle med godsaker til bursdagbarnet. Er mange som har bursdag på denne tiden av året, så blir en del bursdagkort framover:)
***
Here is my entry to this weeks challenge at ASFOS, where the assignment is to include a number in your creation. My number isn't very big, but that wasn't my intention either. I've used a box of Toffifee as inspiration and made my own little box. It has a little "drawer" that you can push out, and I plan to put some goodies in it for the birtdaygirl:) There's a lot of my friends and family who has their birthday this time of year so you'll see a lot birthdaycards in the near future:)
En litt nærmere titt på den søte hÄnglar:)

A little closeup on the cute hÄnglar:) Er ørlite nærbilde av tallet, sånn i tilfelle du lurte på hvor det var.. ;)
Here's a little closeup on the number, just in case you were wondering.. ;)

A closeup on the beautiful flowers from Papirloftet. They've all been glimmermisted:)

Tyllen har også fått en dæsj med glimmermist. Er forøvrig en rest fra bryllupet vårt:)

Here is my last minute entry to Friday Sketchers # 46 with a great sketch by Heidi. My card also fits this weeks challenge at ABC where they want to see you decorate the inside of your card. I've used 3 of the stamps from Magnolia spring kit and the log is from the autumn kit last year. I've masked them all together and created a little scene with a touch of spring:) This is NOT the colours you'd normally see me use, but I just love the freshness of it all! I really really enjoy this time of year with all the flowers popping up in my garden:)

This stamp is from Inkandinkado and I just think this sentiment is so beautiful!

Det første kortet har jeg laget etter skissen på Sketch Saturday. Er litt i siste lita med årets påskekort, så blir et lite røsk nå helt på tampen;) Har maskert sammen to av de skjønne hÄnglarstemplene fra påskekolleksjonen. Er de ikke herlige!?

The first card is made after the sketch at Sketch Saturday this week. I'm a little late with my Easter cards this year, so this is the final attempt to reach the finishline;) I have masked together to of the lovely hÄnglarstamps from the Easter collection. Aren't they just too darn cute!?

Det andre kortet er også laget etter en skisse, dette fra Magnolia vs Stampavie. Som dere ser er dette også et påskekort, og jeg er virkelig svak for disse søte påskemagnoliaene og jeg:)

This is the second card also made after a sketch, this one from Magnolia vs Stampavie. As you can see this is also a Eastercard, and I do have a thing for the sweet Eastermagnolias to:)

Innsiden/The inside:

Jeg beklager virkelig det dårlige lyset på bildene, men det er skikkelig grått og trist vær her.
Tusen takk for at du besøker bloggen min og for alle hyggelige kommentarer. Dere lyser opp en grå hverdag!

I do apologize for the bad light on the photos, the weather is really grey and dark here.
Thank you so much for visiting my blog and for all of your lovely comments. You brighten my day!
