Snowman Rocker-Card! ⛄

Snømann motivet på kortet mitt er lagd av meg, og er et digistempel jeg selv har tegnet, malt med akvarellfarger og så scannet, så det kan printes ut som clipart! 'Doodle Snowman with a heart PRE-COLORED'. 😊
Hadde klipt ut en del av disse snømennene, så det var lettvindt å lage kort selv om jeg ikke klarer sitte så lenge på scrapperommet med den vonde ryggen min.

Julekortet er mitt DT bidrag hos Creative Fingers #286., der jeg er sponsor denne gang! Som alltid har vi et 'Lag-hva-du-vil' tema, og velkommen skal du være 💗
Kortet kommer litt seint ~ internett'n har ikke spilt på lag i det siste 🤪

 

The snowman motif on my card i have drawn myself, and made into a digital stamp. But i also scanned the watercolored image, so that it can be printed out again and again as clipart! 'Doodle snowman with a heart PRE-COLORED'
Wich is what i used to make my quick n easy card for this fortnights challenge #283. at Creative Fingers ~ of wich I am also sponsoring! 😊 I had cut out several of theese beforehand, so even with my bad back i was able to craft a little while in my craftroom.

There is however only one week left as my blogpost is waaay late due to spotty internet lately.. big ooof! Hopefully it gets stabile soon 🤪
As always it is an 'Anything goes theme', and you are more than welcome to join with your creations 💗...

This is a so-called rocker card, not the musical genre, but a card that stands upright and can tilt like the oldfashioned rockingchairs.
They are super fun to make and a very interactive card to gift someone.
There are many awesome tutorials on how to make them online if you want to try it yourself!

Nordic Christmas card ⛄

En stund siden sist det var aktivitet her i bloggen ~ har hatt litt mye å stri med de siste månedene ... familie, min egen og andres dårlige helse, og datatrøbbel... Prokrastinert å kjøpe ny laptop.. Den jeg ville ha ble plutselig borte fra markedet, og da den kom tilbake hadde den nye spesifikasjoner. Måtte lete på nytt etter 'drømme-laptopen' 🤔
Muligens funnet den, regner med å bli litt mere produktiv når jeg har kjøpt den, for ikke å snakke om ny kreativitet! Å tegne med blyant har vært for vondt for mine dårlige hender, så jeg håper å kunne bruke laptopen som digitalt tegnebrett og lage digistempler igjen!

Snømann motivet på kortet mitt er lagd av meg, og er et digistempel jeg selv har tegnet, malt med akvarellfarger og så scannet, så det kan printes ut som clipart! 'Doodle Snowman with a heart PRE-COLORED'. 😊

It's been a while since it last was activity here on the blog ~ i have had a lot to deal with theese past months ... family, my own and others bad health, computer troubles ... Procrastinating buying a new laptop.. The one i wanted suddenly dissappeared from the market, and when it returned it came with new specifications i didn't like. A new search for my 'dream-laptop' then. 🤔
Possibly found it, and i hope i will be more productive when i finally buy it, and to get a creative boost as well! A digital drawing surface will enable me to make more digistamps out of my doodles ~ my hands has been too achy to grip a ledpencil for a very long time.

The snowman motif on my card i have drawn myself, and made into a digital stamp. But i also scanned the watercolored image, so that it can be printed out again and again as clipart! 'Doodle snowman with a heart PRE-COLORED'

Bibi's Harmony 🎵

Har hatt masse datatrøbbel siste ukene, blåskjerm og 'sakte-kino' på alle funksjoner ... hadde pc som var kjappere på 90tallet 😆 Laptop skjermen har ødelagte pixel ca.1x1cm på midten nå (selvfølgelig måtte det være på midten!), så det blir snart ny laptop - noe jeg egentlig har sagt nå i et over år... Men nå har jeg ikkenoe valg 😂
Den jeg hadde tenkt å kjøpe for et år siden var ikke mulig å kjøpe plutselig, og nå har det kommet en ny versjon - men uten tibehøret, som orginal pennen!.. Vil nemlig ha en 2-i-1 laptop der jeg kan tegne på skjermen også. Problemet er at jeg ikke klarer å bestemme meg for en annen type laptop - det er så mye å velge mellom 🤔

Gratulasjonskortet er mitt inspirasjons bidrag for Creative Fingers utfordring #276. Vår DT Angelique er sponsor denne gang med en flott premie, og som alltid har vi et 'Lag-hva-du-vil' tema. Velkommen skal du være! 💗 

 

Congratulations on the day

I have had such trouble with my laptop the past weeks .. bluescreening and slowmotion on all functions ... i swear my pc back in the 90s were faster! Now my laptop has a ruined pixel about 1x1cm. in THE MIDDLE of the screen! Like .. ofcourse it had to be the middle 😆
So now i need to put some speed into gettin a new laptop, wich i been procrastinating for over a year, as the 2-in-1 that i had my heart set on suddenly became unavailable. I had high hopes for the return of it, but it finally came, and with no accessories - like the original brand pen! And no way of gettin it? like WUT?! My biggest problem aint the money, that i already have saved up over the past couple years, but that i cannot make a choice of wich one to get now ... there are so many to choose from! 🤔

Gotta be a nice 2-in-1, touch / drawing screen like a ipad, but at the same time with power of a good gaming laptop and at least about 16 inches, preferrably silent (good fans) and 1TB or more storage. Pen included or available to buy alongside. Flexible on the rest lol 😂 Any suggestions?
