Chocolate, Cream & Eurovision Top 10!

Utfordring #28. fra Quirky Crafts er fargene 'Sjokolade og Krem'. Jeg syns dette kortet er kjempelekkert i fargene! :) Noe annet som er lekkert er Didrik Solli Tangen... Jeg heier på han i kveld! Lykke til
The latest Challenge at Quirky Crafts is #28. Chocolate and Cream - as a colour theme! I LOVE this color combo! Keepin' it simple & chic this time. The gorgeous DP - wich I'm not sure of the name yet, and Tim Holtz always awesome distress inks are enough to make this card yummy for my nephews confirmation day!

VE the norwegian song for Eurovision Song Contest tonight! By Didrik Solli Tangen My heart is yours... Gorgeous! If however it doesn't go Norways way this year - here are my 9 other favourites this year:
Iceland - Hera Björk "Je ne sais quoi".
Germany - Lena Meyer-Landrut "Satellite".Turkey - maNga "We could be the same".
Ukraine - Alyosha "Sweet people".
Ireland - Niamh Kavanagh "It's for you".
Moldova - Sunstroke Project & Olia Tira "Run Away".Greece - Giorgos Alkaios & friends "Opa!".
Theese are all in the finals - so I picked good this year! But the two last of my faves didn't get through the semi-finals, wich is a shame for sure - both so sweet! (but they didn't perform well live in the semis..)

Latvia - Aisha - "What For? Only Mr. God Knows Why".
♫ Sweden - Anna Bergendahl "this is my life".
Well - at least I picked 8 of my fave 10 to still be in the running for the big win - I only hope many more people than me think that the norwegian song is awesome & above all has the best vocals! Best wishes 4 this year also! *lol* I'll be sitting glued to the Tv tonight, and I hope that u all vote for Didrik!
:)


UPDATE: Er litt smådeppa etter Eurovision showet på lørdag... Er det mulig? :( Skjønner ikke at så mange åpenbare talenter ble skjøvet helt til side når stemmene ble gitt! Didrik vaklet litt i begynnelsen, men naila resten av sangen, absolutt nydelig - og med den stemmeprakten hadde han fortjent en plass helt i toppen, om ikke førsteplassen! ♥ Jaja.. kommer til å kjøpe CD-plata alikevel - var mange flotte låter med der, og jeg bare later som om Didrik vant *lol* ;)

I'm so happy that Germany's Lena and "satellite" won, when Didrik's song didn't! It's been playing in my head the last couple of weeks ... "even painted my toenails for you".. :) I voted for her and for Iceland's Hera with "Je ne sais quoi", wich is also a very catchy song! But I'm very sad that Didrik (Norway) and Hera (Iceland) didn't get the european votes on saturday - I really don't get that so many obviously talented vocalists were shoved to the bottom - even Niamh from Ireland! ... it's just that ballads seems to be 'out' this year! But I'll be buying the CD anyways - overall GREAT show this year, I have loads of new favourite songs! ♥

Confirmation Envelope card

Color Throwdown #94. utfordrer med hele fem forskjellige farger - mitt konvolutt-kort har vel heller sparsomt med blått, men men ;) Jeg hadde det kjempemoro med å lage mitt første konvolutt-kort til min nevøs konfirmasjon! Jeg fant denne fine tutorialen her hos Anne, som er DT hos the Pixie Cottage! :)
The challenge for Color Throwdown #94. is to use this color palette - wich I have to a degree... There's all the yummy colors - even the blue, at least a little on the cork & bird! *lol* I made the envelope-card after I found Anne's awesome tutorial for the Pixie Cottage.
The inside of the 'envelope-card' has a pocket in wich to keep a money-gift. I've used the 'smudge' tool on the handwritten message if u wondered why it looked weird ;)

Take a walk on the wild side..

Har lagd et litt annerledes prosjekt til Sukkersött #84. Denne ukens utfordring lyder som følger: Lag et prosjekt med 3-D effekt. Var kjempemoro å finne på noe 'nytt'!

The norwegian challengeblog Sukkersött is asking for a project with 3-D effect for #84. And I had lots of fun getting an idea in my head, and then working out how to do it! :)

Gorjuss Sitting - in Pink!

Utfordringen hos The Sugar Bowl #35. er ei skisse av Marlene. Og temaet var 'gjenbruk'. Ble ikke spesielt fornøyd med dette kortet - rosa og pastell er virkelig ikke min smak.. men småjenta som sikkert får kortet blir nok happy! ;)
For the challenge at the Sugar Bowl #35., we're to use the sketch by Marlene, as well as recycle something. In my card I have used leftover paper scraps, a damaged white flower I've cut to make leafs, and the stamp-motif is printed on back of an old watercolor painting I no longer think is any good ;) I've also rotated the sketch, as I thought that it looked better with the motif ;)

Paper:
Bazzill cardstock. Fancy Pants - All Fall paper pad, & Crafty Individuals - Background papers book 1.

Christmas in May!? :)

WOJ's utfordring #78. er en super skisse. Følte for å lage et julekort i dag, selv om det er 17. mai! ;) Hadde dette søte stempeltrykket ferdigmalt, og det er jo aldri for tidlig å begynne med julekortene! *hehe*
We're having a beautiful summer day on the 17th of May - Norways national holiday. Whiff Of Joy's Challenge #78. is this time to use this great sketch by Jane! And I had this stamp motif already colored, so I thought I'd get a headstart on the christmas cards ;)

Fantastic!!!

Helt utrolig... for et fantastisk hell!!! Jeg ELSKER Dr.Who, så jeg tenkte 'hvorfor ikke' da Programbladet hadde en konkurranse der man skulle skrive hvem som spiller Dr.Who.. Det var jo selvfølgelig et feil stilt spørmål - for det er ikke bare èn Dr.Who! Så jeg skrev (siden premien var den nye Dr.Who serien Sesong 1-4!), om de mente den 9'ende doktoren - Christopher Eccleston, den 10'ende - David Tennant min favoritt!, eller han som spiller Dr.Who akkurat nå - doktor nr.11 - Matt Smith... Jeg lurer veldig på om jeg vant fordi de skjønte at jeg er en ekte fan *lol* Hm.. eller kansje det var fordi konvolutten jeg sendte inn hadde en søt liten flodhest på? ;)
It's absolutely bloody FANTASTIC!!! I got this amazing box-set in the mail some days ago, & I WON it! I love Dr.Who, so when the TV-guide I subscribe to - Programbladet, had a contest with the question: Who plays Dr. Who? I just had to answer it :) I ofcourse thought the question was too narrow - because there been loads of doctors.. But there's three in the new series - wich was the prize! №9. Christopher Eccleston. №10. David Tennant ♥ My Fave! And the newest dr. №11. Matt Smith, from series 5. Don't know why I won though - just luck, pity the fan, or 'cause of the cute hippo on the envelope *lol* The wallpaper below is dr.who - David Tennant with his companion Rose - Billie Piper :)
