Vant forrige utfordring hos ADFD ~ så jeg er kjempelykkelig fordi det betyr flere nye digis på meg :) Som jeg har sagt tidligere på bloggen ~ får aldri nok av disse nydelige stemplene! ♥

Happy today! ♥ Won the previous challenge over at ADFD ~ wich means more beautiful digistamps for me :) My card today was quick to do ~ I already had a cute stamp inked up & paperpieced, all ready to glitter & glam up on a card!

inside detail

A great tip is to diecut the cardstock u use for the card itself, and use

the diecut two ways ~ one on the front of the card, and when u layer and

decorate the card u get a neat frame on the inside of the card as well :)

Giordano kitten card ♥

Jeg har ingen anelse om hvor disse flotte diecut-hengslene kommer fra ~ om noen vet, værsåsnill og fortell! ♥ Tror jeg kjøpte dem for 5-6 år siden på scrapping.no forumet ~ da jeg var 'fersk' i gamet :)

This charming image comes from the Giordano's Puppies and Kittens CD, wich I got here from Joanna Sheen.

♥ Godt Nytt År 2012! ♥

Mine nyttårsforsett: Å starte opp igjen på lavkarboen ~ får håpe det funker iår!... Å endelig få uteboden lagd inredet til scrapperom ~ og å innskrenke pengeforbruket når det gjelder scrappeting i hytt og pine... *lol*
Er bare såååå mye nytt stæsj og stempler jeg bare må ha hele tiden! Fikk iallefall brukt opp masser med bazzill restepapir til dette kortet ~ alltids kjekt det, istedenfor å kaste i boss bøtta :)

Let the Joy of winter

warm your Heart.

♥ Happy New Years! ♥

I have some newyears resolutions for 2012:
To start up with a new lowcarb diet (wich I failed miserably at last year)...
To finally make my new scraproom in the outside storage room ~ I think it's about 3x3 meters so there should be enough room!
And also to cut back on the money use on scrapping stash & stamps... Wich I have TONS of already, and can never ever get to use up *lol*
I really enjoyed making the bottom panel of this card ~ a great effect with little effort! It's made out of a whole bunch of scrap cardstock strips I had leftover after scoring tons of base cards in 15x15 cm. It's great to see the scraps put to good use instead of tossing them in the bin :)

Måtte leite frem embossingpulver, luftpistol, skalpell og skjærematte for dette kortet ~ leenge siden sist jeg brukte disse verktøyene! Spellbinders'ene har visst tatt helt over ;) Det ble så utrolig lekkert med varm-embossing så jeg sløyfet å pynte kortet noe mere!

Another awesome stamp from A day for Daisies, Dragon Cutie. When I saw this vintage key digi by Prairie Fairie, I just had to have it ~ it looks great under her arm right? I've used a scalpel to the arm and slid the keyparts through, with cushions underneath, so it looks really 3D.

When I was her age I was at the liberary often and picked out books to dream away in.. but then I got started reading even before I began school ~ my elder brother wouldn't read my Donald Duck mags. out loud for me, so I had to learn the letters early.. *lol*
By then I was hooked, and became a frequent visitor at the liberary.. The first book I fell in love with that had more words than pictures in it was The little Prince. Also any book by Astrid Lindgren was a sure favourite ♥

A day for Daisies Challenge #23. has two "Secret Ingredients", in wich I think I recognized both, but decided to use only one, as I really wanted to paint up this image to have on an easel card :) Lovely newborn image don't ya think?

Make it Colorfuls challenge #28 is to colour your characters with dark skin. I enjoyed that, a great theme keepin' in mind what happened recently. Tolerance and inclusion in the community of people of all colors & religions has been a hot topic in the media since the 22nd... ♥ Here's a link to a card I made last year, with a sweet little brown Elisabeth Bell girl, and one from Mo Manning's gorgeous digi-girls I made in May.

Sweet Giordano Kitten!

2011-07-30T22:24:00.005+02:00

Jeg fant utrolig mange flotte pusekatter og hvalper på denne CD'en fra Joanna Sheen & Giordano, og denne er den søteste! Jeg har også brukt mine favoritt puncher, retro flowers - for utfordringen hos Fuzzy Wuzzy som er å bruke punchere på Juli prosjektet.
How about this cute kitty? I wanted this CD as soon as I saw it - gorgeous images from Giordano. I'm 'getting Punchy' with the Fuzzy Wuzzy challenge for July :) Lots of retro flowers made with some of my fave punchers.

BTW: Has anyone else run into this problem? Every third, or so, photo you upload to you blog is turned to the left or upide down? Also - sometimes the title box, while editing the post, it 'jumps' down the page and sits on top of the blogpost box!!! Weird... Anyone found a solution to this?

Stamps/Images: The kitten is printed out on bazzill from the CD-Rom - Giordano Puppies and Kittens, wich I got here from Joanna Sheen. Tiny bugs from the Nellie Snellen clearstamp set - Koetie COW004. The Birthday text stamp is from North Star Stamps - CS Bursdagstekster A5.
Papers: Bazzill cardstock & other unknown paper. Also plain cardstock for the flowers - colored with Walnut ink & Lilac ink from Tsukineko & Tattered Angels Glimmermist 'coffee shop'.
Embellishments: EK success Retro Flower Punch - whale of a punch, medium & small. Hero Arts gemstones (green) & E. Line Prima pearl crystal (orange). Ribbon from a local fabric store. And I've used the Bow Easy tool from Stamp & Create to get the great bow :)

Ribbons & Bows

2011-07-29T14:59:00.001+02:00

Etter den forrige bloggposten, en noe dyster utblåsning jeg trengte tydeligvis, går jeg tilbake til det bloggen min dreier seg om - kort og atter kort!...
Utfordringen for Juli mnd. hos Stamp & Create er å bruke bånd og sløyfer! Og jeg har endelig fått til å bruke min Bow Easy - kjempelett når man først har sett en video som forklarer hvordan man bruker den ;)

This months challenge at Stamp & Create is 'Ribbons & Bows', and I have finally dusted off the Bow Easy tool - wich I have been so frustrated about, not really understanding it.. But this great video tutorial by Jeanette instantly made me able to make great bows :) PS: Sorry about the dark photos - taken with my mobilephone as the camera was low on battery!

Inside

Stamps/Image: Kraftin' Kimmie - Snow White with text & apple. Magnolia 'Bröllups swirl'.
Paper: Bazzill & regular Cardstock. And the cool red handmade embossed paper is from a local book & stationary store.

Når det vi
frykter skjer

går det an
å mestre sorg

men vi
trenger omsorg
som et varmt teppe

rundt skuldrene
våre mens vi fryser

av Tove Houck

Jeg har ikke orket å blogge før idag om det ufattelige som skjedde i Oslo og på Utøya.. har ikke hatt ord å beskrive de følelsene som oppstod etter det første sjokket. Mine tanker har gått til de berørte av tragedien, familie og venner av ofrene, og de flotte heltene som har stått midt oppi det hele..

Er så glad for at medier og politikere har vist seg fra sin aller beste side, og unngått å spre panikk og hat - men isteden et gryende håp om bedre forståelse og medmenneskelighet ♥
AP har vært det partiet som jeg har stemt på de gangene jeg har kommet meg til valgurnen.. er ikke mye politisk engasjert av meg, bortsett fra Nei til Eu ;) Og jeg kommer nok aldri å forandre meg der - politikk er for forvirrende, enda ikke 'møtt' et parti jeg føler meg 100% hjemme i, men AP ligger nærmest - og jeg har vel stemt litt taktisk de siste gangene - mest for å unngå at FrP skulle ta tronen...

For er det noe som skremmer meg så er det det fremmedhatet som mange har - og som det har vært tatt opp i media, synspunktene til Anders B. Breivik deles av alltfor mange nordmenn - og noe av det som er blitt gjenfortalt av manifestet hans, høres ut som ekko av ting jeg har hørt andre, vanlige folk si...
Jeg, som alle andre regner jeg med, tenkte Al-Qaida med en gang bomben gikk av midt i Oslo.. Tvillingtårnene brente på netthinna i det øyeblikket.. Men det første som slo meg med en gang etter skytingen startet på Utøya, og vitner meldte om en blond høy mann utkledd som politi - var at det kunne være en nazist eller en FrP fanatiker det hadde klikka for... Og gjett om det hadde klikka for en fyr, helt skruppelløs - en ufattelig tragedie som bare ble større og større. Omfanget er for stort til å fatte enda nå. Blitt mange søvnløse netter, og angst for at man kanskje kjente noen som var der..
Sender varme tanker til min søsters venninne som ble skadet i Oslo sentrum, og hennes familie ♥

Jeg har sjelden orket å diskutere når jeg hører andre snakke nedsettende om innvandrere eller komme med ekstremistiske og spydige bemerkninger, men jeg har iallefall sagt min mening og latt det være med det... De er ikke født rasistisk - noe eller noen har gjort dem slik. Det er en skremmende tanke at det finnes flere som Breivik der ute - og jeg tror vi har fått en vekker nå.. Vi bør alle gjøre vår del for å endre holdningene til dem som sprer fremmedhat og frykt!

Men det nytter ikke med mer sinne og hat - ei heller å sette alle som bare er skeptisk til norsk innvandringspolitikk i samme bås som rasister. Det er lov å være uenige, så lenge man er saklig og ikke kommer med nedsettende bemerkninger! Ha respekt for hverandres meninger, og som statsminister Jens Stoltenberg sa; Vi skal svare på angrepet med mer demokrati og mer åpenhet.

Vis mer kjærlighet og medmennesklighet - I avsky mot alle former for vold, og i medfølelse med alle som er rammet, blir jeg med på VG netts lenke av mennesker fra hele verden:

Hold sammen ~ hold hands

Please join the chain of thousands of people from all around the world, holding hands against violence & with sympathy for all those affected by the tragedy that struck Norway the 22nd. of July..

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that.
Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

a Gothic Wedding

2011-07-10T11:16:00.016+02:00

Hva i all verden gjør man når man finner dette på scrappebordet? Jeg hadde malt opp dette digitale stemplet, og det lå i noen dager på bordet før jeg skulle lage dette kortet... Gjett om jeg føyk i taket da jeg så hva som hadde skjedd! Og ropte høyt navnet på den skyldige - ARIEL! ... Og lillesnuppas svar var; Æ skulle bare gjøre det enda finere for dæ tante!

Hmmm... Hvordan reagerer man på et slikt svar? Jeg kunne ikke si at hennes kråketær - som hun er VELDIG stolt av (begynner i 2 klassen til høsten) er noe jeg absolutt ikke ser på som en forbedring av det jeg lager... Hehe, men hun lovte iallefall å aldri tegne på mine ting mer ;)
Hun pleier å sitte på andre siden av bordet å male sammen med meg når hun er på besøk, stempler alltid opp litt ekstra på helt vanlig papir så jeg ikke sløser med akvarellarkene - og kjøleskapet er fullt av hennes kunstverk ♥

Men tilbake til kortet - som dere ser så fikk jeg reparert/dekt over krusedullene, men jeg ble bare sånn passe fornøyd alikevel - ettersom jeg hadde hatt planer om en annen layout.. Men niesen min blir iallefall til å huske at hennes fine bokstaver ikke passer på tante sine kort :)

Dette kortet er med i tre utfordringer - Papertake Weekly - Anything Goes, Digital Tuesdays #118. 'Bling it up, og Top Tip Tuesday #41. Bryllup.

My niece was the responsible artist of the doodle text u see on the top pic, then when I very angrily asked what the meaning of it was, she innocently replied - I just wanted to make it look even nicer for you, auntie! What can one say to that?? But she will not (probably) do it again *lol* She likes to sit and paint with me, so I stamp extra motifs on plain paper for her (not to waste my watercolor-sheets) and my fridge is full of her art :)
I was going to throw it away, but decided to see what i could do with it first. And luckily I was able to repair & cover up the doodles on the motif, but I'm not entirely happy with it as the layout wasn't was I had planned. However, a lesson learned for both aunt & niece! ;)

I enter my card in Papertake Weekly 'Anything Goes' challenge, Digital Tuesdays #118. 'Bling it up', & Top Tip Tuesdays #41. Weddings or Anniversarys. And my top tip is to just to try and repair the motif before chucking it in the bin - if an accident (or a deliberate crime!) happens to your creations ;)

Burtonesque Lili!

2011-07-02T00:03:00.005+02:00

The Burtonesque Dolls sin utfordring var litt vanskelig ~ lette høyt og lavt blandt stemplene mine for å finne noe som kunne 'dobles' ~ ettersom temaet denne gangen er å vise dobbeltgjengere ~ som i Tweedle-dee & Tweedle-dum fra Alice in Wonderland! Med digistempler kan man snu og vende som man vil, så jeg har 'doblet' Lili fra Simply Betty ♥ Er også med i Kort 'O' Manias utfordring #43 - Alt er lov, og Basic Grey utfordring #47. Sying.

♥ Fingers Crossed ♥

2011-06-19T02:30:00.007+02:00

Jeg krysser fingrene for at sommeren fortsetter i samme stil! Varme dager og blå himmel ~ de fikk jammen flott vær for MS NordNorges Live maraton sending på NRK! Vi kommer sikkert til å ta oss en tur innover til Sortland når skuta tøfler forbi :)
Har laget kortet etter Marlene sin skisse på SugarBowl utfordring #62., og temaet denne gang er ~ Sommer! Jeg kombinerer med Anything Goes utfordringen #43. som er 'Her kommer Sommeren!' & med Crafty Calendars Juni utfordring: 'Ting med vinger' :)
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the great weather we're having will keep up, and that the Hurtigrute ship MS NordNorge's trip from Bergen to Kirkenes, wich I think will be the longest televised live show (watch it right now! 16th to the 22nd of June), will have a smooth beautiful voyage :) When they get to Vesterålen & Sortland we'll probably take the trip to wave it past ~ even though it's here at night *lol*

The SugarBowl Challenge #62 is themed ~ Summer, and we're playing with Marlene's lovely sketch, wich I've turned to the right to fit my image :) I'm combining with the challenge #43. at Anything Goes, wich also is 'Here comes Summer'. And Crafty Calendars June challenge: Things With Wings! :)

Cuddle Anya ♥

2011-06-17T18:54:00.007+02:00

Jeg syntest det var så fint med staffelikort, at jeg har lagd enda et - og kommer sikkert til å lage flere! The Greeting Farms utfordring ~ Farm Fresh Friday ~ er å bruke text på kortet. Skal legge det inn i TGF Galleriet der også :)
Anyone For Anya? har en farge utfordring ~ Hamburger! Så min Cuddly Anya 'hamburger' består av brød-lignende-beige og rødlig brunt for burgern + grønnsaks grønn! Tomat-rød finnes ikke - fordi jeg spiser ikke tomat! *lol* Og hos Southern Girls utfordring #21., er det Anything goes / Lage hva som helst! :)

I had so much fun making my first easel card, that I've done another ~ and it went much quicker now that I know the how to! For TGF Farm Fresh Friday's challenge ~ Get Sentimental ~ I will be adding this card to the gallery> Farm Fresh Fridays 2011> Sentimental. as soon as they get the category up!
Anyone For Anya? has a color challenge this week ~ Hamburger! So I got all brown shades of vanilla/beige bread to reddish meat browns & veggie greens to go with my Cuddly Anya!

Carpe Diem ~ In the Lily Pond

2011-06-13T20:14:00.007+02:00

Flash Back Friday er en litt uvanlig utfordringsblogg som oppfordrer til å vise frem gamle prosjekt fra når man først begyndte å lage kort ~ noen som jeg helst ikke vil vise frem.. *lol* Men jeg hadde absolutt noen kort jeg var fornøyd med også :) Her er et par kort fra 2007, året før jeg startet å blogge! Penny Black har alltid vært en favoritt ~ Min første stempel forelskelse! ♥ 12.0 er sommerfarger.

The challengeblog Flash Back Friday is a bit unusual, wich is fun for a change! It wants u to show off your oldest work ~ from back when u first started scrapping ~ and sometimes that can be embarrassing *lol* But I have some cards I am very happy with, and from my first rubberstamp-crush ♥ Penny Black, I'm showing a couple of cards from 2007, a year before I started blogging :) the theme for 12.0 is Summer Colours.

Ooh La La!

2011-06-03T14:04:00.005+02:00

Enda et enkelt kort - med masse Tim Holtz inking ♥ Den mannen lager altså såå mye deilige farger! The Sweet Stampin' utfordring er ett litt fransk eller 'vågalt' tema - så jeg fant frem en av ett trykk's gamle stempler, og jeg mener bestemt at dette er den sexy syngedama Pink ;)
Another easy card from me, not much with the embellies ~ a whole lotta Tim Holtz inking though.. I just ♥ that man! He creates so much yummyness :) Since The Sweet Stampin' challenge blog is asking for a little bit of ooh, a little bit of aaah & a whole lot of Ooh La La, I'm using my cheeky Pink stamp!

Elvis ~ Still going Strong!

2011-06-03T01:39:00.014+02:00

Kort O' Mania sin utfordring #41. er monokromatisk - scrap i 1 farge! Så det ble Elvis med gyldne brun toner :) Legger dette også inn til utfordringen hos the StampSmith #15. Bursdagstema.
The scandinavian blog Kort O' Mania challenge us to make something in monochromatic colors for #41.. So I've made a clean & simple Elvis card with shades of brown ♫ This goes in to the Stamp Smith challenge also, wich is #15. Birthday theme ~ so I show off the back of the card too, as it was a BD card for a guy, but the front doesn't give that impression ~ just a rockin' Elvis :)

Dette er mitt første staffeli-kort! Hadde ikke noe oppskrift, men jeg regnet med hvordan det skulle være etter å sett bilder av flotte staffeli kort andre har laget :) Ble veldig fornøyd selv om det tok laang tid å lage - neste gang går det nok kjappere, så det blir nok ikke mitt siste! Har laget kortet etter utfordringene i disse bloggene: ●Elisabeth Bells Worlds Mai prosjekt ~ Staffeli kort! ●The Crafty Calendar ~ Teddybjørner. ●Bunny Zoe's #12. Blonder. ●Totally Gorjuss #82. Papirtråd/snøre, og ●Belles n' Whistles utfordring er å lage hva som helst :)

The 2nd challenge at Here Come The Boys is a sketch by Wendy, and I got Chester on my card ~ again ;) For the 'Sparkle & Shine' challenge at Simon Says I added some shine with my glaze on the tophat & shirt, and I used H2O watercolors with my distress inks to color Chester ~ but the pic only show the sparkles in the rhinestones.. Can't get my camera to go BLING! *lol* And I also enter my card in for the Vintage/Distressed theme at Creative Craft Challenges :)

Square Bookmarks!

2011-05-24T00:46:00.007+02:00

Ett Trykk ~ Trykkpressa's mai utfordring er å lage bokmerker! og jeg så engang en youtube film hvor noen lagde slike fine firkantede bokmerker - flere år siden så jeg finner ikke den igjen :( Men jeg hadde noen jeg lagde da, som jeg kunne åpne (veeldig forsiktig) og se hvordan de skal brettes!
Ble ikke bare med ett som dere ser.. Veldig enkle å lage om man bruker scor-pal, men de er ikke fullt så enkle som de lignende bokmerkene jeg ser at Alice på WOJ bloggen har laget ;) Om man ikke har tenkt å lime ekstra ark oa. pynt på bokmerket så blir den bretteteknikken jeg har brukt veldig dekorativ! Har laget en liten tutorial jeg håper er forståelig!
Loads of bookmarks for the month of may challenge at the norwegian magazine blog Ett Trykk. Some years ago I watched a youtube video of someone making this kind of square bookmark - it's not the same technique as recently shown by Alice on the WOJ blog here - that one is more easy to do, and will work best if you're going to have a stamped motif on another paper glued on the bookmark, because it's more flat when finished folding.
If however, you like to make things difficult for yourself (as me *lol*) you should try theese out! I have reconstructed how I made the bookmark from the video - and created some new ones, along with a little tutorial I hope you can make sense of! :)

Månedsutfordring hos Kreativ Hobby Mai mnd. er: Konfirmasjon! Og kort nr.2 hos Card For Men #10. er det tema - kort til en spesiell gutt/mann. Syns ikke jeg har laget annet enn konfirmant kort i det siste - men det går jo lekende lett med Kreativ Hobby's tekststempel som jeg kutter ut med Whale of a Punch & en skalpell, og jeg har så fine guttestempler som Chester (Se tidligere poster med Tag Kraftin' Kimmie) og NSS Steven! ♥ :)

The norwegian challenge blog of Kreativ Hobby has a 'confirmation day' theme for the month of May, and I enter my first card :) Also the second card ~ Cards For Men #10. has the theme 'for Someone Special'.

Penny Black MoneyBox

2011-05-21T02:33:00.010+02:00

Lenge siden jeg har laget noe annet enn kort nå, så det var en flott utfordring hos Penny Black at Allsorts for Mai mnd. "Shape Up" - alt unntatt firkantig eller rektangulært. Bla. på nille og europris har de sånne billige sparebøsser, eneste problemet er at du må bruke boksåpner for å åpne de! Men det KAN jo være en god ide det også.. *lol*
The challenge for May is to "Shape Up" with Penny Black at Allsorts, so I've altered a moneybox / piggybank? Do you call it that when it's not a pig? They're having a DT call also! And if I'm lucky and get picked - I have about 150+ PB stamps to play with! :)

Sommeren er her! Det har vært deilige varme mai-dager.. og mygga stikker og mushumlene er store som.. mus! Babymus iallefall ;) Og her om kvelden var jeg ute på verandaen og tok meg en røyk - og 50 meter unna, ned mot sjøen stod det to elger og 'hadde seg'! *lol*

The challenge at Mo's Digital Pencil is #82. "Here Comes Summer" - and for me summer is all about icecream, shopping and all things green :) Quite a difference from my last posted card, all vintage and rustique - wich is my fave medium - but once in a while an image just screams for bright colors, don't u think? I colored her with my Marvy LePlume watercolor markers.

Huff så stressende når blogger slår seg vrang! Prøvde å legge inn dette bildet iallefall 7 ganger før jeg ga opp og lagde en ny paint fil - ville bare legges inn opp ned nemlig! Bra jeg fikk det fikset - ellers vill mange ha fått whiplash *lol*
Har laget kortet etter Erikas's skisse på SugarBowl utfordring #59., og temaet Distressing eller Vintage. (Ja takk, begge deler!)

I was trying and trying and couldn't get the pic right way up when I uploaded it to blogger - wich was SO irritating, 'cause I had to blog it before the deadline.. Phew! And so I did! Is it a bug in the system maybe? Anyhoo - after finally getting the pic to stand upright *lol* ;) I'm updating my entry now with info about the card.

Free as a bird!

2011-05-16T12:08:00.005+02:00

Skjønner ikke hvorfor jeg ikke har tatt i bruk denne Cottage Cutz diesen tidligere - hatt den liggende kjempelenge i skuffen, litt mye pirk for å få den fint gjennom cuttlebuggen da. Men den er helt nydelig som dekorasjon på kort! ♥
Crafty Individuals utfordring i mai er 'fri som fuglen'. Stamp Something's utfordring er helt åpen denne uka, og Southern Girls er Jente kort :)

Dunno why I haven't used this gorgeous die from Cottage Cutz before! It's a bit difficult to get out of the cuttlebug in one piece, but well worth it! ♥

Dette stempeltrykket er et eksempel på at man kan fikse på feil man gjør! Det var kommet en grønn malings flekk i hennes gyldne blonde hår - og dermed var jeg på tur til å kaste det - men isteden fikk hun ravnsvart hår :) For å se hvordan det egentlig skulle sett ut, ett tidligere kort med dette trykket..
Kombinerer 3 utfordringer til dette kortet Crazy Challenge #61. Blomster, Craft Your Passion #52. Fritt tema, og Creative Insp. #106. Bruke punchere og/eller dies.
This stampmotif was actually on it's way to the bin when I ruined it with a big green spot on her golden brown hair!!! Instead I made her hair big, fluffy, and BLACK - covers everything! ;) Here's an earlier card 2 show how it should've looked like!
I enter it in: The Crazy Challenge #61. Just add Flowers, Craft Your Passion #52. Anything Goes!, og Creative Inspirations #106. Use punches &/or Dies.
