Toffifee Candy box :)

Har dekorert ei Toffifee eske, og brukt mine gamle glitterlim tuber for utfordring #5. hos Shopping Our Stash. Veeeeldig vanskelig å la være å spise dem opp ;) Og hos Divas By Design er det om å gjøre å ikke lage kort denne gang.. Hehe, har vel såvidt holdt meg innenfor oppgaven her!


The Divas By Design wants us to create anything but a card! ;) I've been altering this Toffifee candy box & been very careful not to get tempted to eat them up before they're given away... *lol* And It's time to dust off an old 'tools of the trade' at Shopping Our Stash #5. So I have rummaged through my stash, to find my 'ancient' glitter glues from AMOS! And luckily so, they still worked after 5+ years of not been put to use! :)

Stamps/Image: The Greeting Farm - Anya from 'Signature-01 set'. Papirloftet - Clearstamp Tiny Alfabet Firkant. Maya Road 'love ticket' clearstamp. (The text reads 'Thank You').

Embellishments: I've used the 'AMOS Variety Pack' of 17 misc. colors glitterglues (Bottles 22ML), and misc. cat's eye chalk inks.

♥ Fingers Crossed ♥

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! :)

Ooh La La!

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!

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 :)
