Sjokoladetrut

Selv om det ikke synes her inne, så har jeg faktisk scrappet litt i det siste. Ikke mye, men litt. Bloggen har vært veldig nedprioritert, det er så mye annet som må gjøres og fikses hele tiden. I tillegg har ikke inspirasjonen til å scrappe vært på topp.

Men denne morsomme utfordringen fra That's just so cute måtte jeg bli med på. Marianne Hope er gjestedesigner og har laget en super tutorial som var utrolig morsom. Den inspirerte i alle fall meg til å få gjort noe:) I iveren etter å lage noe med min fine bakgrunn glemte jeg helt at temaet skulle være høst, det eneste høstrelaterte jeg har fått med er rosa blader og bilder fra september *knis* Men det viktigste er i grunn at jeg fikk scrappet noe og hadde det gøy.

Jeg har ikke laget ramme som i tutorialen, men i stedet brukt hele som bakgrunnsark til bilder og tittel. Jeg har også brukt mange forskjellige farger litt her og der på teipen for å få litt ulike sjatteringer, før jeg gnikket med papir. Synes denne teknikken ble veldig stilig og gir masse tekstur til layouten.

En liten closeup:)

Jeg har i tillegg til den hjemmelagede bakgrunnen brukt ark fra My minds eye, bølgepapp, thickers, klistrebokstaver fra MM, utklipte blader fra Kitschy digitals, spray ink i brunt og et journaling stempel jeg dessverre ikke vet hvor er fra. Det har jeg stemplet på vanlig kopipapir,  klippet ut og krøllet litt for å få ujevnt utseende.

God tirsdag!

Hermegåsa

Scrapping the music har en utfordring akkurat nå som går ut på å herme etter en av deres layouter, Hermegåsa. Jeg ble inspirert av Vibeke sin layout, som heter "Vi hopper opp, vi hopper ned", og det er den jeg har hermet etter.

Arkene jeg har brukt er fra October afternoon og Sassafras, pluss gamle boksider.
Fargene ble litt feil på hovedbildet, de vises mer riktig på detaljbildene:)


Jeg har brukt crackle paint og rosa glimmer mist. Den hvite blomste har jeg laget selv av filt, og sydd fast en perle.


Hekleblomsten har mamma laget til meg, jeg har hatt litt mønterpapir og en stoffbrad i midten.Bokstavene er foam thickers og mm mini klistrealfa.

Morsom utfordring!:)

A card for two challenges

I painted up a lot of the WoJ Summer kit stamps the other day. So last night, when the wallpainting was drying and I was waiting to put on another coat (we are painting my daughters room) I put together this card. I used the sketch on Whiff of Joy challenge blog, and since this is a birtday card this also fits for this weeks Celebration challenge on A spoon full of Sugar.
I made the card shorter in front so you can see a bit of the inside. The text in the front of the card is from Stempelglede and says "Magic is to believe in yourself. If you can do that you can make anything happen". The text on the inside says "Happy birthday" and comes from Ladybugandfriends.com.Papers are this and that from my left over box, ribbon from papirgleder.no, flowers from Prima and halfpearls from Kaisercraft and some old book pages. The lace is from Prima and is originally green, but I sprayed it with Glimmer mist, Vanilla Breeze.

Hope you all are having a wonderful weekend! I'm (hopefully) going to finish painting the room today:)

A card for StampARTic

I've made this card after Pias sketch for the StampARTic blog. The sketch was great!

I usually don't use this color scheme on my cards, but I wanted something forest-like, so there it is. The bakground paper is made with spray inks in yellow, green and orange, plus some blueish glimmer mist that you can't see on the photo. It's really shimmering! The border is stamped with Stempelglede grunge border. The Whiff of Joy image is painted with distress inks. The flowers are sprayed with inks and also got some ink and glitter on them. the top sentiment is from Stempelglede, the other is printed. The blue paper is from MME and the silver dotty green one from Pink paislee. Some dots of Liquid pearls around the edges. Practically everything on this card is shimmering og glitter glued:)

Vintage layout

Jeg fant ut at jeg helt har glemt å legge ut denne. Jeg lagde den forrige uke, og jeg brukte Skissedillaskisse #5 som Lula har laget, men jeg glemte jo å levere hele greia innen fristen.. men jeg fikk nå scrappet litt i hvert fall:)

Ble veldig inspirert av den flotte skissa, og fikk så lyst å lage en skikkelig vintage layout med disse bildene. Og vintage ble det, hehe.

Jeg har stemplet med hvit maling og stor bobleplast, klattet litt her og der med malingen, glimmer mist og spray ink. Alle kanter er distresset og svertet, bokstaver og blomster også. Bildene er av Emilie som leker med en gammel dukkevogn jeg arvet når jeg var liten. Tror den er bortimot femti år minst, men den er sånn passe slitt og fin, og Emilie elsker den (den er jo rosa....).

Og jeg er endelig ferdig med 75 bryllupsinvitasjoner, hurra! Det tok litt lenger tid enn jeg trodde... 225 punchinger og 675 stempeltrykk til sammen, for ikke å snakke om all klippingen og limingen. Men det ble jo bra til slutt, og det er det viktigste. Skal se om jeg får tatt et bilde eller to før de leveres.

Og på Sukkersött trenger vi flere DT, det har kommet inn utrolig mange flotte bidrag til skissen, men det er plass til mange fler!:)

Friday sketchers, Kristines sketch

I made this card last night, using Kristines sketch at Friday sketchers 48. I loved the sketch, so fun to work with!:)

The gorjuss girl is painted with distress inks and some pink cats eye. It's hard getting a really pink colour with the distress so I had to give it a little help;) The papers are all from Basic grey, the lace from Papirloftet, the pink flowers are made with a punch, and the white swirls are quickutz. Textstamp and paper roses from Papirloftet, and I've also used some bling, white pen, brown dotty ribbon and spellbinder dies to cut the scallop circle.

Skissedilla

Det er kommet en kjempeflott ny norsk utfordringsblogg, Skissedilla. Den første skissa deres synes jeg var superlekker, og måtte bare lage en layout med den. De har forresten lagt ut en ny skisse nå også, månedens sponsorskisse.

Her har jeg brukt ark fra Studio 2 mèrs, kartong, thickers og mm klistrealfa, blomster fra Prima og Papirloftet, bling fra Prima, Hambly overlay, Melissa Frances rubons, glimmer mist, brads og rondell, tag og litt stempel her og der. Jeg har også svampet og rufset kantene, samt sydd litt med symaskin.

Historien bak bildene er litt morsom. Emilie er en liten papegøye for tiden, og omtrent alt vi sier gjentar hun. Og husker! Jeg har kalt henne for klatremus et par ganger fordi hun klatrer over alt, i vinduskarmen, på sofaen, på bordet.. og det resulterer i at hver gang hun klatrer opp et sted nå, så sier hun "mus!" og så ler hun. Kan jo fort føre til komplikasjoner om vi får besøk av noen som er redd for mus f.eks. *fnis*

Sugarbowl Easter Card

Here is a card I've made for the Sugarbowl blog. The challenge was to make something for spring or easter. This is an easter card with fun and bright colors, so a little bit of spring in there too:)

The stamp is of course from Sugar nellie, and I have painted with my distress ink refills. I've used scraps of paper from my stuff, letter stickers to write "Happy easter" and some Prima flowers with half pearls and a pink button.

Easter break doesn't really start until Wednesday here, but since my fiancè works in school, he has the whole week off. And that's so great since our daughter looves spending time with her daddy, and she get's to see him all day all week. Today we're going to do like the girl on the card, go feed some birds - not chicks though, but ducks. They live by a lake here, and they're so used to getting fed that they don't actually leave south for the winter anymore. It's fun to feed them, they're always stepping on our feet trying to get as much food as possible before someone else does.

I hope everyone is having a great Sunday and week, easter break or not;)

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!

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.

PS: You should also check out Papirgleder.no, where you can preorder the newly released Joan Elliot stamps made for Ladybug and friends. They are sooo pretty!!:)

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!:)

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!:)

Friday Sketchers #34

My friend Kristine has made the sketch over at Friday sketchers blog this week. So I just had to give it a try, especially since I got some gorgeous new Sugar nellie stamps in the mail last week.
The sketch is so great, I loved making this card! It was also a lot of fun to make something that isn't a 6x6 card, which I almost always do. And orange is also a little challenge for me to use, so I think I got a lot of things done in just one card, hehe. Thank you, Kristine, for all the inspiration you give me, you're great!;)
The pink middle of the flower is self made. The green flower is a metal flower I've had for ages, and it was perfect for this card. Papers are Sassafras and October afternoon, some metal embellies and prima bling. The sentiment stamp is from Aud design and says "Warm hugs and good wishes".

Happy monday everyone!

Whiff of Joy challenge #13 & award

Yesterday I got some of the new and insanely cute Whiff of joy Party animals in the mail. I had to paint one of them at once, my favorite, Henry Celebrating Mouse which I've used on this card.

I mean, just look at his cute little face, so happy about his huge cupcake. Adorable!

I made this card for Whiff of Joy challenge #13, using Heathers great sketch. I made this a cute and simple card for a one year old. Designer papers are from October afternoon.

Thank you for looking!

Nabons utfordring

Holdt på å glemme av denne jeg! Lagde lo'en for to dager siden, men somla meg ikke til å få tatt bilde før i siste liten;)

Denne er i alle fall laget til Nabon sin skisse/lag-på-lag utfordring.




Kjempemorsom utfordring Nabon, takk for all inspirasjonen du gir meg!;)

På mønsterarket her har jeg testa ut Ingvild Bolme sin step-by-step om å gjøre vintage edges. Kjempeflott forklaring, Ingvild, tusen takk! Mye mer omfattende enn hva jeg pleier å lage mine kanter, men så blei det jo veldig fint og da:)

Cute Card Thursday - Pretty in Pink

More Whiff of Joy prettiness!;)

I just had to play some more with these wonderful stamps, here I've used "Melinda blowing kisses" from Whiff of Joy. She's (of course;) painted with my distress refills.

Most of the things used on this card is from the Scarlet Lime august kit. The corner stamp is from Prima, and the text stamp is from Stempelglede. The "Beautiful" stamp was in the the kit. Things that weren't in the kit are the bling swirls, the light pink paper and the scallop paper.

I made the card for Cute Card Thursday challenge 26, Pretty in Pink - and I believe this is as pink as it gets, LOL. It's been a while since I made something for a challenge, so it was fun!:)

Now there's another week coming up, and I hope it will be a lovely one for all of you!;)

Sukkersött & ScrappeMania

Nå ligger utfordring #2 ute på Sukkersött, løp og se!;)

Her er mitt kort til oppgaven.


Stempelet er fra Sarah Kay og tekststempelet er fra Stempelglede. Jeg har klippet ut midten av det og limt det på et stempel fra Papirloftet slik at jeg fikk en annen kant. Papirer fra Cosmo cricket, blonde og blomster fra Prima, div. metallpynt.


På ScrappeMania er vi jentene så heldige at vi ble sponsa av norske Papirdesign med lekre ark. Du kan se alle jentenes bidrag her. Tusen takk Line og Marianne for nydelige ark!:)

Min layout ble sånn som dette, alle ark jeg har brukt er fra Papirdesign.





Ha en kjempeflott helg alle sammen!

Sarah Kay challenge 5

I've made a card for this weeks Sarah Kay challenge, which is to use three buttons and three jewels.


My three buttons and jewels are inside the flowers. This gorgeous and decorative idea is not mine, I saw it in Hannes blogg, go take a look by the way, she's super talented when it comes to making cards;)
I used papers from Scribble scrabble (the blue one), and a new paper from Ladybugandfriends.com (the one with hearts on it). Alle the other stamps are from Stempelgledes "grunge collection", exept for the textstamp which is from the "Birthday collection". The flowers are from Prima, the lace too, but I sprayed it with glimmer mist so it's pink and shimmery:)
I attached a clip to the opening side of the card, and put on a charm and som blingpearl.

I also want to show this card, inspired by the button and bling challenge. The image is from Ladybugandfriends.
I painted the pink sheeps with distress ink. Actually I saw Kristine make a card with this stamp a while ago, she painted them pink and they were soooo cute, so I just had to make mine pink too;)

Papers here are from Crate paper and Anna Griffin. Text stamp from Stempelglede again.
I made a paper flower with the same papers. A pretty simple card, but the sheeps are so cute and adorable that I wanted them to be in focus.

Thank you for visting my blog, and thank you for alle the nice comments you leave!;)

Sarah Kay challenge 4

This card is made for the Sarah Kay challenge 4, which is a sketch this time. I was very inspired by the beautiful sketch, but also by DT Camillas card, which is gorgeous. This is practically a lift of her card, I hope that's okay, Camilla;) I really loved the circles on the inside of the card, showing on the outside, and also the way the card is closed with ribbons.

I added some text behind the Sarah Kay image. All text stamps on this card is from Stempelglede.
The corner stamp and the flowers in the two circles are from Stempelgledes "Grunge collection".
More text on the other inside of the card.


Really fun card to make:)
