Two cards for dad

I haven't done much crafting this week, since I got an infection in my arm that hurts pretty bad. But I made these two cards for my dad, who turned 44 on wednesday. This first one is made with A spoon full of sugars challenge "Little Gem".


I have seen so many cute cupcake cards everywhere, so I just had to try making one. Really simple, and fun:)Hope everyone had a great weekend, and I wish you a really good week!

Clean & simple

Denne uken er utfordringen på Sukkersött å lage kort i clean and simple/minimalistisk stil. Langt fra det jeg pleier å gjøre, men moro likevel. Det var så kjapt og greit gjort, så jeg lagde like godt tre stykker mens jeg var i gang:)

Av en eller annen grunn jeg ikke vet selv så passet det veldig å lage babykort i denne stilen, så det ble ganske søte kort fra meg. Men det var som sagt veldig moro å prøve noe nytt, selv om jeg i grunn hadde lyst å hive på mer stæsj på hvert eneste kort *fnis*

Ønsker alle en riktig god helg!:)

Farg et trykk og la det vandre..

På Papirgleders Kreative sider kan du lese denne artikkelen.



En del av oss kortdesignere sendte hverandre fargelagte trykk og lagde kort med de.
Jeg fikk dette flotte Ladybug and friends trykket med Ann Margret. Jeg likte fargene kjempegodt, så har prøvd å fange de opp igjen i mønsterark og pynt.

Det var kjempegøy å lage kort med ferdig fargelagt stempeltrykk, kan anbefales!:)

A gorjuss card for Friday sketchers

I've had little time to play with stamps and stuff the last couple of days, so tonight I just had to make something with one of my Gorjuss girls from Sugar nellie. I used sketch #43 at Friday sketchers for this.

I've made the background paper myself, with my glimmer mists and srpay inks. I've also used a paper lace that's been chalked, a little piece of pink lace, a green Prima flower and some white paper roses sprayed with glimmer mist, and a little piece of a really old book page. The pink flowers and butterflies has been cut out from a beautiful glittery paper. Around the edges of my gorjuss motif I've used grunge corner from Stempelglede and chalks.

Sukkersött fargeutfordring

I dag er det fargeutfordring på Sukkersött. Vi har valgt fire farger som skal brukes på kortet, i tillegg er det lov med litt hudfarge, sort eller hvitt.

Mitt kort ble til i litt hui og hast og jeg er derfor ikke kjempefornøyd, men synes jenta fra Whiff of Joy er kjempesøt da:) Beklager at bildet er kornete, jeg hadde glemt å stille på iso'en i går kveld så det ble tatt med iso 800.... Skal se om jeg får tid til å ta nytt i løpet av dagen.

Vi har også tatt i bruk Mr. Linky, så nå håper jeg flere får til linkingen. Les mer på bloggen.

More art journal pages

I thought I'd show you some more art journal pages here. Tomorrow is the last class, and it'll be really sad. This class has been great and I've learned so much from the talented Dina. Hope she'll be having more classes soon;)

These two pages is from last weeks layering class. The first one I lifted from Dinas and has eleven layers, the second one has fourteen!!


I love the layering, can't you tell?;)

Ladybug and friends News

ScrappeMania ScRapp

Denne gangen har vi scRappet Gudrun, hun har laget en kjempelekker lo i clean and simple stil. Du kan se Gudrun sin lo, og de andre Maniajentene her.

Jeg scrapper så og si aldri clean and simple, det har vel skjedd et par ganger før bare. Men jeg fant ut at jeg skulle prøve, og sånn som dette ble resultatet:

På de oransje papirremsene har jeg brukt håndsøm. Jeg måtte teste ut etter å ha lest Kines artikkel i Vi Scrapper. Kjempegøy! Og så mye effekt som det gir også, tror jeg må få meg tak i mer broderitråd;)


Jeg har blitt valgt ut på Stripa denne uka!:) Med et kort og en layout:


Elis valg:

Denne er bare så fantastisk flott at jeg måtte velge den denne uken. Sjekk papirkomboen og fargene! En anelse rosa + det grønne og gule får denne til å poppe og så digger jeg bildet. Ble så inspirert at jeg satte meg rett ned for å scrappe - så takk for at du delte denne neeta!!

Tessa79s valg:

Denne uka fallt jeg for dette kortet av neeta. Nydlig fargekobinasjon av brunt, rosa og orange. Flott pynta og veldig fint fargelagd stempeltrykk!

Tusen takk Eli og Tessa for at dere valgte mitt kort og min layout!!:)

More "gorjussness"

I couldn't resist making a card when this gorjuss cutie pie was in front of me. And when looking around the challenge blogs, I figured I could make a card for three challenges at once;) So this card is made with Mumurs sketch #42 at Friday sketchers, it has torn edges for challenge 41 at A Spoon Full of Sugar and finally I made them with the colors pink, orange and brown, for this weeks challenge at Papertake Weekly.

The image is a Gorjuss girl colored with distress refills, and the text is from Scarlet Lime kit club. The papers are from Sassafras and Making memories.

Hope you like it!:)

Sukkersött utfordring #31

Here is my card for this weeks Sukkersött challenge, which is a sketch made by me.

My Gorjuss stamps finally arrived, so I painted a few of them yesterday - boy are they cute!!:) And so much fun to color. My papers are from Basic grey, Making memories and some leftover dottie paper. Flowers are Bazzill and Primas, the text is some Doodlebug sticker alpha.

Here's the sketch too, if you'd like to give it a try:)

Have a wonderful Friday everyone!

Art journal pages

Just want to show you some of the stuff I'm working on from Dinas AJ 102 class. I have filled almost half a book, but most of it is unfinished and some is just plain weird. Testing, testing! *lol* But these two I really like. The first one isn't finished yet, but I'm not sure what to do next, so I'm going to leave it for a while. The second one I think I'm done with, but you never know..;)

Word Up #46

I've made a layout for OLW challenge this week, the word is SEE.



I've actually used some techniques Dina is teaching us in AJ 102 - which I still love!:) The big white flower is a hair thingie I bought on sale and the orange ones are a prima lollipop I took apart. Papers are Basic grey. I've also used glimmer mist and paint to stamp with. There's hand writing around the darkest paper, some of it hidden, I don't know if you can see it.

I hope you like it!:)

Birthday cards for my brother

I have used Dawnys sketch #9 at Papertake Weekly to make this card for my brother. He's 19 years old today, happy birtday!! I used this cute stamp with Henry the mouse from Whiff of joy, so it also fits the Cute Card Thursday challenge, Animal Magic.

I've tried something very different too. Making a card without a painted image, and in a more funky way. I've seen so many of these cool cards and I really love them. Not sure if this is my "thing" though, but it sure is funky *lol* I like all the happy colors. This is also for my brother.

And he's going to get the card together with this wrapped milk chocolate, which I know he loves:)Hope everyone has a great Sunday!:)
