Life is too short to be Normal ~ Stay Weird!


Den 5 oktober i år var 'World Cardmaking Day' og jeg lagde to kort til en utfordring på en facebook cyber crop som TPC Magazine holdt. Artikkelen med Galleri og Top3 finner du her. Utrolig mange flotte kreasjoner! 

Det var tre utfordringer, men jeg fikk bare gjort en av dem ~ Moodboard. Jeg har hatt flere Katzelcraft og Visible Image stempelsett ganske lenge uten å bruke dem, og siden jeg har lovt meg selv å bruke mest mulig av sånne 'avglemte' stempler, ble det to morsomme mixed media kattekort fra meg ~ med et kjempe-kjempe-gammelt Stampotique stol stempel som passet helt purrrfekt til kattepusene! :)

October 5th. was the 'Worlds Cardmaking Day' and I participated in the Cyber Crop event that the scandinavian TPC Magazine held on Facebook. There were so many awesome creations and the gallery and top3 can be found here

They had three challenges and I wish I would have been able to do all of them, but I chose one that really was so much fun to do as I was inspired to use some mixed media! And also I got a chance to play with some supercute Katzelcraft & Visible Image stamps I've had for a while now and not used. As I've recently decided to use more of my forgotten and unused stamps and stash, I made two cute cat cards ~ with a really old Stampotique chair stamp that was a PURRFECT fit for my cats! :)

Pink Winter Days

 
Er litt sent ute igjen med denne bloggposten, migrene på tredje døgnet! Så jeg har bare fått gjort ting i små perioder når medisinen funker... 😣

Lagde dette julekortet i noe utradisjonelle farger ~ brunt og rosa ~ som mitt DT bidrag hos Creative Fingers #173. Det nydelige motivet er fra vår sponsor Morgan's ArtWorld, og som alltid har vi et 'Lag-hva-du-vil' tema. Velkommen skal du være ♥

I'm late again with my blogpost, migraine for three days has made it a struggle to be creative, when all I really want is a dark room and no brain input.. Luckily I have a good medication that works ~ only for a few hours though ~ so I was able to make this christmas card in very untraditional pink & brown colors 😊

This is my DT creation for this fortnights challenge #173. at Creative Fingers, and the beautiful motif is from our generous sponsor Morgan's ArtWorld.
As always it is an 'Anything goes theme', and you are more than welcome to join with your creations ♥

Thank You Kitty! 🐈

 
Vanligvis når jeg maler et motiv til et kort bruker jeg det siste jeg kjøpte eller har fått, og det er alltid moro med nye stempler! Men nå har jeg bestemt meg for å faktisk begynne å lage mere med mine gamle stempler ~ allfor mange som bare ligger helt ubrukt eller ikke hatt blekk på seg på mange år! Lovt meg selv dette flere ganger, men nå har jeg stemplet opp flere trykk og begyndt å male dem, så ingen unnskyldning nå når boksen med ferdige motiver står klar på bordet ;) 

Noen av mine gamle, pent brukte stempler og noen nye som jeg finner at jeg har kjøpt dobbelt av kommer i fremtidige RAK/bloggcandy'er her i bloggen ~ faktisk tenkt til å legge ut en ny bloggcandy senere idag eller imorgen, så følg med!



Usually my go-to when making a card is to use a recent purchased stamp or won image... Wich is all good fun, but I have decided to actually start creating more with my old stamps, wich I got way too many of thats just laying around all unused and uninked for years! Promised myself this several times, but now I have stamped up many different motifs and started watercoloring them, so there will be no excuses now that a box of finished motifs sits on my table ;)

Some of my old (nicely used) stamps, some new I find I have duplicates of will end up in future blogcandies ~ I'll have a new Blogcandy today or tomorrow actually! So do check back later on.
