ABC - I for Inside and Friday Sketchers # 46

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!

Friday Sketchers # 44 and A Spoon Full Of Sugar # 44

And the Eastercards keep on coming.. Here is one made with the adorable Tilda hugging bunny, and I've used the sketch made by Bea for this weeks challenge at Friday Sketchers. I know I'm a little late, but time just keeps on running from me. This card also fits the challenge at A Spoon Full Of Sugar where the theme is "Easter". I've just been at Scraporama 2009 and at Happy Hobby they had these beautiful papers from Maja Design that I just had to have! lol!. I bought a whole bunch of papers from Maja Design, so you'll probably see some cards with some of the papers in the near future;). The sentiment says "Happy Easter". The flowers is from Papirloftet and the two pins are from Maya Road. I've used my heartborder punch from Fiskars, pearls from Kaisercraft and some ribbon from Europris. All edges are distressed with Cats eye olive chalk.

A little closeup where you can see the stickles on her wings:)

A little closeup on the flower. I've sprayed it with Glimmer mist Old lace

The inside:

The sentiment says; "Happy Easter! Enjoy life, the orange, kvikklunsj (Norwegian Chocolatebar) and the wonderful eastersun!" (Freely translated;))

Thank you for visiting my blog!

One box- three challenges!

Okei, så her kommer altså en boks jeg har laget etter inspirasjon fra Kirsten. Har du ikke besøkt bloggen hennes så gjør deg selv den tjenesten, hun lager utrolig masse flott!
Den er laget til tre utfordringer denne gangen, Torn edges på ASFOS, skissen til Kristine på Friday Sketchers og fargene brun og blå fra Colour Create.
Mitt første forsøk med mye klabb og babb så jeg håper det går bedre neste gang:) Denne boksen laget jeg til min manns bursdag som var igår, han er en real handyman som fikser og ordner det meste. Det som står på tag'en er egentlig en litt intern spøk oss imellom, men jeg måtte bare ha den med hehe;) Var ikke veldig enkelt å lage noe guttete må jeg si, er alltid lettere med det sarte og søte med dill og dall..men jeg har nå prøvd i allefall. Putta oppi noen melkesjokoladehjerter som falt i smak hos min kjære:)

***** So this is the box inspired by Kirsten. Go vistit her blog for inspiration, her creations are beautiful!
I've made it to fit three challenges; Torn edges on ASFOS, Kristines sketch at Friday Sketchers and the colours brown and blue and Colour Create.
My first attempt and I did struggle a great deal with it. Hopefully I'll do it better next time:) This box is made for my husband who had his birthday yesterday. He's a real handyman who can fix just about anything. The words on the sentiment saying that he is a tuff guy is meant as a joke between the both of us. He's not really that kind of man but I had to use it lol;) It wasn't easy to make something manly, it's so much easier to make something soft and girly with flowers and stuff...but at least I've tried. I filled the box with some chocholatehearts, they were gone in minutes:)

Dette er de nye stemplene fra Norsk Stempelblad. Veldig masse flotte og anvendelige tekster. This is some of the the stamps from the new collection from Norsk Stempelblad. The different frases says; "Happy Birthday Handyman!", "Still as charming as ever...", "Turning 29 were you?"

A little closeup on the buttons..

A shot from the side...

Where it closes. I meant to make it a litte more manly, but I didn't have anything to use..

The sentiment from Norsk Stempelblad from the inside of the box. Says; "Hipp hurray, birthday hug, congratulations it is your day"

The inside with the chocolatehearts:)

Thank you for visiting my blog and for all of your good thoughts and wishes about my new spot as DT for Stampacular Sunday Challenge blog!!!

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! :)

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.

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

*Friday Sketchers # 31

Here is my entry to this weeks challenge at Friday Sketchers. The challenge this time was a fabulous sketch by the oh so talented Claudia Rosa. I love the fact that I now can concentrate fully on making my Christmas cards and just play like I want in my craftroom. I really did enjoy making our weddinginvitations, but after making 32 it's good to use some new colours and papers;) I wanted to go really red this time and I'm totally in love with these wonderful papers! And who can resist this cute little Hanglargirl??

The sentiment on the front says "Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year"

For the inside I used the back of the paper and I just love these wonderful swirls:) Made a little pocket on the left and put some bags with instant hot chocolate. Yum!

The sentiment means "Time for joy"

*Vennskap er en gave*/*Frienship is a gift*

Her er mitt "i siste lita" bidrag til Friday Sketchers Sketch # 25 av Claudia Rosa. Jeg har vært veldig opptatt i det siste og har rett og slett ikke hatt mulighet før nå. Dette er et skikkelig høstkort, og du kan gjerne kalle det en stille protest mot snøen som kom ned i går! ;)
Jeg simpelthen digger disse dramatiske og fargerike papirene og jeg er totalt forelska i dette stempelet fra Magnolia! Hun er bare SÅ søt!

Here is my last minute entry to Friday Sketchers Sketch # 25 by Claudia Rosa. I've been really busy lately so I didn't have time to make it sooner. It is an autumn card, and I made it as a silent protest against the snow that came down yesterday! ;)
I just love these dramatic and colourful papers and I just love this Tilda. She is just the cutest!

The sentiment on the front means; Friendship is a gift (you can see it much better in real life..)

The sentiment means; Warm hugs
