Mothers Day and Cute Card Thursday Challenge # 46

Hi,
ok so this is gonna be a long post... lol. I'm actually entering two cards for this weeks challenge at Cute Card Thursday. This time they wanted you to use some metallica on your card, and since I have a thing for cute charms I guess you can tell what I went for.. ;) I'm completely in love with the new Valentine Collection from Hänglar & Stänglar, they are sooo cute!!!! I also have a newfound love in this gorgeous papers from Maja Design. I'm sorry for the strange light in the pictures, but I hope you get the general idea anyway..

The first card is the one I gave my mum for Mothers Day on Sunday.

This text means "To my mum"

A little closeup

The two charms on the front, one heart that says "Made with love" and an angel with the text that says "Made for an angel" on the back.

The inside of the card. Another beautiful angelcharm dangling from the flower.

The text says: " Mother - another word for love"

The back with my personal stamp - as always;)

This is the card I gave my mother in law for Mothers Day. This is also another cutie from the new Hänglar collection, and also another paper from Maja Design. The tiny alphas spell the word "Mothersday". Don't know if you can see it, but I've sewn on my machine on both cards as well..

The inside of the card

The text says; "Word cannot express the force, the beauty and the bravery in a mothers love"

The back: CS: Bazzill

Stamps: Hänglar & Stänglar Allahjärtans-flicka and Flicka med stort hjärta

Accessories: Pearls and ribbon from Kort og Godt, Stickles from Ranger, charms from Lenes hobbyshop , flowers and leaves from Prima. All edges are distressed with Color box fluid chalk Pink Pastel.

Tiril 1 år/ Tiril 1 year

Her kommer kortet jeg lagde til Tiril sin 1-års dag som var igår. Valgte denne søte jenta fra Hänglar & Stänglar og det måtte jo selvfølgelig bli litt "jentete" farger og da:) Har sydd litt på maskinen min og har brukt litt rester av bånd og stæsj. Har forelska meg helt i disse blomstene som er i midten av Prima'ene, syns de gjør seg så flott der:) Må bare beklage det dårlige lyset på bildene, er ikke så lett når det er helt overskya ute å få fint lys på bildene...

Here is a card I made for Tirils 1 year birthday yesterday. I went with this cute Hanglargirl and I just had to go for these "girly" colours as well:) I've sewn a bit on my machine and I've used some scraps of ribbons and stash. I've totally fallen in love with the flowers you can see in center of the Prima, I think they look so yummy:) I just have to apologize for the bad lighting on the pictures, I tried but when it's just cloudy outside the lighting is just not good...

Her har jeg brukt Word Window punchen min på tekst skrevet ut på pc'en.
Here I have used the Word Window punch on a text written on my computer.

Friday Sketchers Sketch # 36 - the card that missed the deadline...

Our internet is finally back and I'm so happy!!! I made a quick post earlier today, and I had to use the computer at work during my break the be sure my card made the deadline lol. This one is a lost case for the wonderful sketch Bea made for Friday Sketchers last week, but I wanted to show you anyway. This is also a babycard that I gave to Hilde and her husband, they are expecting a babyboy in May. The sentiment "Hjertelig tillykke" means " A heartfelt congratulations"

On the inside I made a little pocket for the Bola necklace that I gave to Hilde.

These words in norwegian means " lying safely inside mummys tummy"

A little closeup from the back of the card:

This is an explanation for the use of this necklace. It is a little xylophone inside it that makes a sound that is suppose to be soothing for the little one in mummys tummy. The string is long so it will reach down on your tummy and they say that the child can recognize the sound from week 20 in the pregnancy. When the baby is born you can use it in the pram, in the nursery or other, and the child will recognize the sound from the time in the tummy. I think it's a really cute gift to give.

It comes in many patterns and colours


Thank you so much for visiting my blog, I just LOVE to read those wonderful comments you leave me! :)

Sukkersøtt # 25 skisse # 7

Dette blir bare en kjemperask post fra meg denne gangen, er uten internett hjemme så jeg snylter på jobb.. Koste meg masse med skissa fra Maya denne gangen og simpelthen elsker disse lilla fargene! Papiret er fra Adornit i tilfelle noen lurer;) Dette er da et kort til min bror og svigerinne som venter barn i juni. Har lagt ved et smykke som skal virke beroligende på barnet, veldig søt gave å gi.

Dette er da en meksikansk Bola, kan fåes i mange ulike mønster og farger.


Tusen takk for at der titter i bloggen min og for alle hyggelige kommentarer!

Friday Sketchers Sketch # 36

This weeks sketch at Friday Sketchers is given by the talentede Beatrix. I had so much fun working on it, and I've already got some ideas for new cards using this sketch - so thanks for sharing! :) I'm a bit hung up on shades of brown lately, but I've added some shades of blue too this time. I just love those adorable Valentine stamps from Magnolia, they are so cute! I've made this card for a friend of mine, not saying who right now, but I hope she'll like it:)
*****
This weeks sketch:

The front: The sentiment says "Gode venner" and it means "Good friends" I've sewn with my sewingmachine around the blue paper, and I've sewn the brown ribbon into the lace and the heart with a needle. The swirls are punched out on my Cuttlebug and painted with Brushed curdroy crackle paint.

Just a little close up on Tilda with the tag. I've used rubons and the word means "hug". Ive glues some thin lace around the oval that Tilda is seated on.

Page 2 on the inside:

A closeup on the tag which says: "A hug is like a handshake from the heart"

Page 3 on the inside: I've used my nesties on the Cuttlebug, and also some more swirls. These ones are painted in antique linen.

This is the first finished card, and I just loved working on this challenge. I love, love, LOVE, those brown colours!! Can you tell??!! lol.
