Créme Chérie keepsake box!

Kjempebillige små pynteesker! Jeg kjøper sikkert en slik ost hver uke, og har begyndt å ta vare på alle tomeskene etter at jeg fant ut at de ville være utrolig lette å pynte.. men hadde d vært muggelost ville jeg ikke brukt de!  
 Papir er lett og feste på dem siden de er lagd av papp, og det er en flott måte å bli kvitt mindre papirark som bruker å ligge igjen etter jeg har scrappet. Har laget en oppskrift på hvordan jeg lagde dem på engelsk, selv om akkurat denne osten er fra Tine har dem sikkert lignende oster i utlandet.
Bildene forklarer seg vel selv uansett Kansje en inspirasjon for å begynne å scrappe litt av tom-emballasjen istedenfor å kaste den i søpla?

I have made an image tutorial on how I made theese cute little boxes, re-using box containers of my fave cheese :) 

Hope you've been inspired to not throw away empty cheese etc. food-containers! The supplies I've used for theese boxes are;

Images: Mary Engelbreit paper pad - friendship. And some paperscraps. 
Papers: K&Company - Brenda Walton Brianna Paper pad. Basic Grey - Stella Ruby - Fitting at Penny's. And Crate's Static Collection - reaction. 
Embellishments: Tsukineko Walnut antiquing inks - Willow, Walnut and Cherry Blossom. H2O Shimmering mist - copper. And misc. ribbons and eyelets..

A low-carb treat - and a pink card!

Dette er fra nå av min favoritt dessert! Og omtrent ingen karbo i den - så for de som går på lav-karbo diett, (jeg har gått ned over 20 kg siden februar i fjor!) så er dette ett knalltips! (Men ikke overspise av dette da!)
* Visp fløte sammen med splenda (eller annen sukkererstatning)
* tilsett cottage cheese og rør lett rundt
* Mos frosne jorbær sammen med litt kokende vann
= NAM! Veldig likt riskrem!This is just SWEET! A very fast to do dessert - and it is SO yummy!
* Whip some cream with splenda (or other sugar-substitute)
* add Cottage cheese and stir abit
* Blend some frozen strawberries together with a little hot (boiling) water
And you'll be amazed! Very low on carbs for us who's loosing weight on the low-carb diet or Atkins!!! (I'm down 20+kg. since feb. of last year!)

Kortet mitt idag har visst litt av samme fargene som desserten min!!! *hihi* Utfordringen hos 2 sketches 4 you denne gangen er Kazan's Sketch #22 Se detaljer på engelsk :)
This card I've done using the challenge at 2S4Y Kazan's Sketch #22 Catagorie 1: Individual Card. It's perhaps inspired by my dessert? *lol* The card got a little wrong in the scan I think, 'cause the pink on the edges are more pink in RL - maybe it's the 3D effects that's doing it :( Anyways - pink is not my favorite color - but I need to use up some of my paper-scraps - been piling up on me! *lol* Prize for Card of the Week in this category is from Sakura - and I just love sakura pens - especially their white gel pen, super for highlighting an eye!

Stamps/Image: Penny Black stamp - Party Animals, Swirly stamp is 'Bakgrundswirl bröllup' from Magnolia. And the textstamp reads 'Happy Birthday', I think it's from Kort & Godt?
Paper: Bazzill, DCWV - sweet neapolitan gltr. And misc scrap papers.
Embellishments: 3D stickers is from Panduros Tilda collection 'knappor'/buttons.

Penny Black card & a Cuttlebug win!

Så moro å være en av de ti som vant den siste utfordringen på Cuttlebug Challenge Blogspot! Med kortet jeg lagde til moren min - innlegg 16 mars :) Gleder meg til jeg mottar de digitale stemplene fra Sweet n Sassy stamps! Kjempesøte bilder de har!
Kortet i denne posten har faktisk et stempeltrykk som mamma har malt for meg, da vi var i syden i september/oktober. Jeg hadde med en hel masse stempeltrykk, akvarellmaling og distress ink putene mine :) Både jeg og mamma er ikke så kjempeglad i sola... Ja merkelig og dra til syden da ikke sant? Men vi hadde det kjempekos for det - når det var for varmt og sola stakk, så satt vi og koste oss inne og malte! *lol*

En kombinert utfordring denne gang, ABC challenge sin theme er F for Flowers, og Our creative corner er å kun bruke max 3 lag papir, og 1 pynt på kortet!

I'm thrilled to be one of the 10 winners of the Cuttlebug Challenge Blogspot #22., because of my card to my mum! (blogged 16th of march) There were so many great cards, both from the DT's and the entries! I'll get some sweet digital images from Sweet n Sassy stamps, and I'm looking forward to trying them out :)

This card is actually made with a stampmotif that my mum have painted! She also love painting, so I had with me lots of supplies when we were on vacation on Gran Canaria in september/october last year - my distress inks, watercolors and stamp-motifs - made the days when the sun was schorcing hot berable! *lol* Not so much fans of sunbathing me and my mum :)

The challenge this time at ABC challenge is F for Flowers: flowers somewhere on your card or project., and on Our creative corner it's a limited supply challenge - max. 3 different layers paper (including your stamped image), 1 type of embellishment, and any stamps and sentiments are optional. I usually don't combine challenges, but there are no prizes on either, so it's only for fun! :)

Stamps/Image: Penny Black - Hedgehog visit. And the text-stamp is from Scrapmagasinet - plate 42B. Swirly stamp is 'Bakgrundswirl bröllup' from Magnolia.

Paper: Bazzill cardstock as backing, a Noteworthy diecut journaling paper from M.M., and aquarelle/watercolor paper.

Embellishments: A glittery heart button I got as a gift :)

A card for my mom :)

Morsdagen har kommet og gått, men det er likevel kos å få et kort! :) Cuttlebuggen har vært i flittig bruk i det siste - fått noen nye spellbinders dieser, bare SÅ anvendelige på kort!!! Utfordringen på Cuttlebug-bloggen #22. er å bruke glitter, et stempeltrykk og selvsagt cuttlebuggen da! Glitter er ikke det jeg vanligvis bruker - langt ned på lista faktisk - men jeg kan jo prøve med littegranne..
The challenge at the Cuttlebug-blog - Be Inspired #22 'Glitter with a stamping image ' ends today - the 16th, so hopefully I get it in before the deadline - can't see any time on there.. This is a card for my mother - she's the best, and even though mothersday (in Norway) was in february, a card to brighten her day is always welcome :) I rarely use glitter - not my favourite item, so just a little bit on here ;)
EDIT: I'm one of the 10 winners of the Cuttlebug Challenge Blogspot!

Cute as a Bug!

Hänglene mine er bare såååå søte! Men som jeg har sagt før, ansiktene deres blir alltfor kjedelige.. Mye koseligere med et stort smil ;) Denne uken har Caardvarks en challenge der temaet er 'Critters'! Så vidt jeg vet betyr det ordet alltmulig slags krypdyr og flyvende insekter - så jeg fikk brukt et av mine favorittstempler igjen! :)
This Hängla is one of my fave stamps - and with the bee from Magnolia this card is perfect for the 'Critters'-theme at Caardvarks :)

Girl Power!

Tre kort med flotte jenter på idag :) Ukens utfordring #52 på My time to craft er å lage et kort med temaet 'kvinner'. Og disse passer jo fint!
The last challenge at My time to craft #52 is themed 'Women', and I've made three cards that fit that description :) How cute is that Baby cakes?! *lol*

Stamps/Image: Stampotique - Baby Cakes (Jill Penney & Daniel Torrente).

Text-stamp is from Stempelhobby/Kin Flicks (no longer in business) 'Venn 1' by Ksenia - and it reads: 'Nothing warms more than some encouragement from a friend'.

D is for Distressing..

ABC challenge bloggen har hver gang det er en utfordring en bokstav for et ord, eller en theme som man skal følge - veldig enkel og grei utfordring :) Denne gangen 'D is for Distressing'! Bruker vel distressing på nesten alt jeg lager i en eller annen form, men spesielt påføring av stempelblekk på kanter, blir så mye penere synes jeg!This time the challenge is 'D is for Distressing' at the ABC blog. I probably use distressing in some way or other on all my projects - I like the look of softness and vintage feel. Especially, like on this card, I like to 'rub' ink (distress ink from tim holtz and/ or cats eye chalks) on any edge I find ;)

Stamps/Image: Papirloftet stempel - Jente og gris, and Ditten og Datten (?) text stamp - wich reads something like: 'lucky for me to have a friend like you'.
Paper: Bazzill cardstock, and misc paperscraps.
Embellishments: Lost Art Treasures pinwheel, Prima - Artful collage flowers, and Trés Jolie - Mon Cheri - Girl french borders (stickers).

Princess & Animal Magic!

Har tre kort å blogge om idag :) Utfordringen hos Cute Card Thursday #49. er å lage et kort med dyr på, og jeg har lagd to denne gangen. Ett enkelt kort med en Penny Black pus, og ett med min mors pusekatt - Kira! Er hun ikke pen? Ordntlig rampekatt som gjerne viser klørne, og angriper foten min.. men hun har sine gode sider også - bare sjekk de øynene! :)

Sukkersøtt sin utfordring #30 (innen fredag den 6. mars) er Eventyr - som Frosker, prinsesser, troll, mystiske vesener.. jeg valgte å bruke ett av mine favoritt stempler fra Pyssel Passion denne gang.
"Dogs believe they are people - Cats believe they are God!"

Three cards today! Two for one in the challenge #49. at Cute Card Thursday, wich is 'Animal Magic'. The kittycat on the photo is my mum's cat, Kira - a fiesty she-devil with the sharpest claws, but the most beautiful eyes :)

The Princess card is for the challenge at the norwegian blog Sukkersøtt #30. where the card this time should be 'Fairytale-themed'.

Stamps/Image: Penny Black - all shook up. Pyssel Passion (the princess) - Prinsessan og Grodan. And the tiny birdie is from the Valentin Clearstamps of Scrapmagasinet. The text stamp 'Gratulerer' I think is from Kort & Godt. The other I'm not sure of..

Paper: Bazzill cardstock, and misc. scrap papers. Basic Grey - SkateShoppe 'Ollie' & 'Jasper'. And BG - Scarlet Letter 'Letters to the World'. Making Memories - Noteworthy journaling. And the cat-paper is from DCWV - The Pets Premium Paper Stack. And this one has lots of glossy print!

Embellishments: The ribbons are Craft Lover - Sticky Ribbon 'Fancy'. A little bit of hemp for the tag, wich I just cut out of some scrap paper - using an BG tag as a template! I've used a green jelly pen for the (badly) handwritten text wich reads something like 'You have to kiss a lot of frogs to find a prince!'...

C is for Childs Card!

Utfordringen denne gang hos ABC challenge, er å lage et Barne-kort :) Disse grisene kan få et hvert barn (og voksen) til å smile! Og det ble et veldig jentete og rosa kort - ikke min favorittfarge, men de fleste småjenters sin vet jeg :)
The theme this time at ABC challenge is C is for Childs Card. I love theese pigs! They can make anyone smile :)

Stamps/Image: Penny Black - Party Animals.
Paper: Bazzill cardstock, and ProvoCraft's Rob & Bob Studio - Botanica Awning Stripe.
Embellishments: the 3D sticker is from Panduros Tilda collection. MM Brads & American Crafts ribbon. Various Cats's Eye inkpad chalks is almost on every card I make - love the shape! The pigs actually shine a bit because I painted with H2O colors - but the glittery effect doesn't show up on the scan - imagine it ;)
