Pure of Heart!

På denne utfordringen hos The Sugar Bowl #34, har jeg lagd kortet etter Tiet's skisse - og brukt puncher - og jeg må si dette var ekstremt vanskelig! Brukte laaang tid på å finne ut hvordan jeg skulle få til skissa ;) Roterte den tilslutt, og gjorde den om til et firkantig kort.
On challenge #33. from The Sugar Bowl, we're to use Tiet's sketch. And the theme is Punches! This was a difficult one - one I spent hours on in fact! Finally I gave up - resized and flipped the sketch, and then I could fit all the elements :)

Missing You!

Denne ukens oppgave lyder som følger: Ram det inn! hos Sukkersött #81. Vises ikke så godt i scanneren (kameraet var fritt for batteri) at det er et tri-fold kort, og stempeltrykket ligger 'bak' rammen som er kuttet i selve kortet. Skal se om jeg får tatt ett bilde til å legge inn her. Var mitt første tri-fold så det var moro! Liksom ingen sak når jeg endelig har fått meg en scor-pal! :)
This weeks challenge at the norwegian challengeblog Sukkersött is to: Frame it! And I cut a frame into the card and put the motif behind - as it's a tri-fold card. My first try actually, was no problem when I got my new scor-pal! Can't get over how well I can make card folds now.. Wish I had bought one sooner ;)

Prosit!

Følte for å lage et litt morsomt God-Bedring-kort! Med litt kreativ klipping, så ser det ut som.. vel - snørr! *hehe* Jeg bruker ikke ha kortene mine inn i fler enn én utfordring, men gjør et unntak med dette siden begge passet så bra, og blogg-reglene godtar det ;)
For Just Magnolia uke 52. som har et åpent tema. Og hos Crafty Calendar #7. er denne mnd. Aprilsnarr - lag et morsomt el. humoristisk prosjekt.
This is a card where the receiver has to have a good sense of humour! I've cut the green cardstock so it looks like.. well you can tell! *lol* I enter this into two challenges: Just Magnolia week 52. Anything Goes, and the Crafty Calendar #7. April Fools - fun or humour in the project!

Scrappy treasure!!!

In the last month or so, I've been in scrapping-heaven! Since it was my birthday, I finally got myself (from Hobbykroken.no) the scor-pal tool I've craved for the last couple of years... It's AWESOME!! There are so many projects to do.. I can't wait till I have an up & runnin' scraproom again. For now it is too cold to do much in my basement scrap room - since the electric bills went through the roof, so I invaded my mums diningroom with some of my things.. *lol*
I also got myself the latest Tim Holtz distress inks, so now I have a full collection yet again! ♥ Absolutely gorgeous colors!

I've bought 9 of my missing ElfQuest albums (the old norwegian edititions) from a second hand bookstore in Trondheim, Wangsmo's Antikvariat, and I've enjoyed so much to read them again. I LOVE theese elfs, so facinating and beautifully drawn. Wish I could have them as rubberstamps as well - now that's an excellent idea!!! Wonder if I shall ask the Pini's? Visit the elfs at ► ElfQuest.com You can even read the comic books online!

I was drawn a lucky winner march the 30th. on the That's just so cute challenge #7., and I got the prettiest metal embellies ever in the mail a week ago, from KortHobby!
_
And then I got an incredible RAK from Trish aka. Stampi from Scrappin till the cows come home - check out her blog, she's very talented & so kind ♥ Just look at the sweet card & yummy goodness she sent me! She's in for a stamping good treat from me too, if the ash-cloud from Iceland settles and the planes are in the air again! We haven't had any mail for days now, only the newspaper - and that's no fun...
EDIT: Yahoooo!!! I've just won this GORGEOUS Sweet Pea 'Soft Goth Night' stamp on Debbies Passion For Craft Blog! [Received 28th of April - thanks!]

I'm still waiting on some yummy treats: I'm getting a set of beautiful 'Ornate distressed corner brushes' by Asmaa, in the giveaway drawn on march 31st. from AI Factory. Check out their shop for awesome digi-stamps! Hope I get theese soon so I can join in the fun on the AIF challengeblog :)
I got picked on March 15th. as one of the Hero Arts Secret Goodiebag Candy winners on Sir Stampalot's challenge blog! I'm so exited to see what's in my bag!!!
And I'm also getting All night Media Stamps from DT Sarah at Stamptacular because I won on challenge #48 on march 7th. So fun to have something nice to look forward to in the mail instead of yucky bills.. :)
Edit 23/4: Yess! All night Media stamps received! :)
Edit 3rd. of June: AiFactory brushes set received! -> it was apparently sent the first time around to my email, but bounced! And here I thought they forgot about me!
This I've thought of Hero Arts also - wich I been waiting for and waiting for... I wrote and got the answer that it was sent out, but lost in the mail then :( .. So they'll send me something else! Jippi! :)
Edit 18th. of June: Hero Arts stamps received!!! Yippi - awesome!!!

To enkle og veldig rosa kort! Drager er mitt favoritt fantasi-dyr! ♥ Jeg elsker å lese Fantasy og jeg er født i dragens år. Har tilogmed to drage-tattiser!!! Denne er bare helt herlig å male - og så fin i seg selv at det trengs ikke mye pynt. Passet perfekt til den aller første utfording hos Sir Stampalot, 'Fantasy!'. De har en månedtlig utfordring - det liker jeg veldig = god tid! Bruker alltid ellers å komme med i siste liten *lol*
Penny Black hundene er bare sååå søte! Og Cute Card Thursdays utfordring #107. er 'Mono Mania', og mine farger på dette kortet er rosa-lilla, går i samme monokromatiske toner det vel? ;)

Two very simple and veeery pink cards today! Sir Stampalot has a new monthly challenge blog, wich I so appriciate, since I will have oodles of time to get the card in before the deadline! :) The blog itself is easy on the eyes and no fuzz, so I'll be coming back again for sure! My card for their April challenge is ofcourse the dragon since the theme is 'Fantasy'. I ♥ everything fantasy, especially dragons :) I'm born in the year of the dragon, I read fantasy books & I even have two dragon tattoos :)
For the next card, Cute Card Thursday challenge #107. is 'Mono Mania!'; This week we want to see your creations using shades of just one colour.... Hope I did the theme right - looking at the dt's cards I see reds with pinks & black with browns, so I think that lilac & pink will do nicely ;)

a Splenda Box!

Scrappekammeret's utfordring #4 er Alternative Scrappesaker: å grave frem noe man ikke vanligvis bruker, og vri hjernen til noe kreativt kommer ut! Hehe.. Jeg lette ikke lenge da jeg skulle gi bort en gave til en av mine brødre - og puttet den i en tom Splenda boks som jeg dekorerte litt. Den kan han jo senere putte spiker, skruer og andre gutteting oppi! :)


The norwegian challengeblog Scrappekammeret had this alternative theme - to use something real original, and something u rarely use. And I rarely scrap empty house supplies boxes! This was a gift for my brother - to keep those boy-things like odd screws & rusted nails in :)
