Arabian Nights ~ Scheherazade

 

Mitt DT bidrag for Creative Fingers #143. som er sponset av Angelique med en kjempeflott stempelsett og die! Som alltid har vi et 'Lag-hva-du-vil' tema. Velkommen skal du være ♥

Designteamet fikk bruke fritt av hva vi allerede har av motiver, og jeg har brukt et nydelig Hero Arts klubb kit jeg fikk i desember ifjor med orientalske motiver. Det minner veldig om Scheherazade, fortellersken i boka 1001 natt med favoritteventyr som Aladdin, Sinbad og AliBaba og de førti røverne! :)

My DT inspiration for Creative Fingers challenge #143. wich is sponsored by our Angelique with a fab stampset and die for the lucky winner! As always it is an 'Anything goes theme', and you are more than welcome to join with your creations :)

The team had free choice to use any motifs we wanted on this challenge, and I have used the Hero Arts december 2017 club kit wich was arabian nights themed, and I believe one of the most beautiful kits Hero Arts have ever made ♥ My two previous blogposts is also using this kit!

I do not know if the artist intended it so, but the girl reminds me very much of Scheherazade from 1001 Nights, or Arabian Nights as it is also named. I had a version with only some of the stories (better suited for young children I assume) and I especially loved the stories about Aladdin, AliBaba & Sinbad.

Arabian Nights ~ Genie

 

Jeg lagde en genie ~ ånden i lampen ~ tag til ei scrappe venninne ♥ Og det fantastiske Hero Arts klubb kit'et jeg fikk i desember passet perfekt til dette stempelmotivet fra Saturated Canary.
Krista Smith som lager disse nydelige motivene selger desverre ikke lengre digistempler selv, men du kan finne noen av hennes motiver hos Make it Crafty nå, og mange motiver som dette fins som gummistempler rundt om i scrappebutikker på nett :)

I'm absolutely loving the arabian nights themed Hero Arts kit! I made a tag for a friend (Hello Maja!) with a beautiful genie from Saturated Canary, and the hanging lamps, stencil and window die was a great match for this motif ♥
Krista Smith, the artist behind this beautiful genie motif, is sadly not selling her motifs as digis herself anymore, but Make it Crafty has some digistamps of hers, as well as new designs! And the Genie stamp is possibly still around to find as a rubberstamp like mine online :)

Christmas Gift Tags

 

De øverste gavelappene lagde jeg til niesene mine jula som var ~ Frozen er vel populært enda eller? Håper det 😊 Veldig morsomme å lage, med 'shaker' vindu. Tenkte de kunne henge dem på juletreet som pynt etter at de pakket opp gavene! ♥ De andre gavelappene var ment for guttene i familien 👍

You are my Sunshine

 

Skrev i den forrige bloggposten min om de flotte månedlige kits'ene man kan få fra Hero Arts, og her er et par kort jeg lagde med det som kom i September i fjor. Det var litt vanskelig å stemple korrekt oppå hverandre med solsikke stemplene, så det var litt frustrerende, selv med hjelp av MISTI verktøyet mitt.. men jeg fikk det jo til til slutt da 🌞
Solsikken har vært min favoritt blomst helt siden jeg var ei lita jente, den eneste blomsten jeg har brydd meg om å plante i hagen 🌻 og jeg har etterhvert samlet mange pyntegjenstander, bilder og stempler med solsikke motiv 🌞

 🌻 MMH September 2017 Sunflower kit 🌻

In my previous blogpost I wrote about the fantastic Hero Arts monthly kits, and today I have a couple cards I made with last years September kit 🌻 It proved a bit difficult to line up the sunflower stamps correctly, even with my MISTI tool ~ layering stamps are frustrating for a perfectionist like me 😉
The sunflower has been my favourite flower since I was a little girl, and it was the only flower I've ever cared to plant and grow in the garden. I've also accumulated quite a large number of sunflower decorations through the years, and ofcourse whenever I see a pretty sunflower stamp I have to have it!🌞
