a New Love ♥

A day for Daisies sin utfordring var å bruke en eller to av de 'hemmelige ingrediensene' for #23. Dette digi stemplet av mor og barn er bare helt nydelig! ♥ Og det passer kjempefint på et staffelikort :)

New Love ~ New Joy ~ Congratulations!

A day for Daisies Challenge #23. has two "Secret Ingredients", in wich I think I recognized both, but decided to use only one, as I really wanted to paint up this image to have on an easel card :) Lovely newborn image don't ya think?

Planting some love..

På denne utfordringen hos The Sugar Bowl #32, kan man velge den man liker best av de foregående utfordrings-skissene! :) Jeg valgte skissen fra #26. --> Sketch liberary.
On this newest challenge #32. from The Sugar Bowl, you can choose your own sketch from their liberary of past challenges. And I chose one I liked a lot, Lilians sketch from challenge #26., wich I didn't have the time to do when it was ongoing :)

Créme Chérie keepsake box!

Kjempebillige små pynteesker! Jeg kjøper sikkert en slik ost hver uke, og har begyndt å ta vare på alle tomeskene etter at jeg fant ut at de ville være utrolig lette å pynte.. men hadde d vært muggelost ville jeg ikke brukt de!  
 Papir er lett og feste på dem siden de er lagd av papp, og det er en flott måte å bli kvitt mindre papirark som bruker å ligge igjen etter jeg har scrappet. Har laget en oppskrift på hvordan jeg lagde dem på engelsk, selv om akkurat denne osten er fra Tine har dem sikkert lignende oster i utlandet.
Bildene forklarer seg vel selv uansett Kansje en inspirasjon for å begynne å scrappe litt av tom-emballasjen istedenfor å kaste den i søpla?

I have made an image tutorial on how I made theese cute little boxes, re-using box containers of my fave cheese :) 

Hope you've been inspired to not throw away empty cheese etc. food-containers! The supplies I've used for theese boxes are;

Images: Mary Engelbreit paper pad - friendship. And some paperscraps. 
Papers: K&Company - Brenda Walton Brianna Paper pad. Basic Grey - Stella Ruby - Fitting at Penny's. And Crate's Static Collection - reaction. 
Embellishments: Tsukineko Walnut antiquing inks - Willow, Walnut and Cherry Blossom. H2O Shimmering mist - copper. And misc. ribbons and eyelets..

Teenage card - Vroooom!

Dette kortet er ganske typisk guttekort, men ei og annen jente liker det vel også? Jeg synes det ble kjempekult! :) Passet til denne challengen: "Challenge 7 - Card for a Teenager" hos Lili of the Valley, en challenge blogg jeg nylig fant - hvor man kan bruke hvilke stempler/bilder man vil, og det behøver ikke være et kort eller lo. Kjekt med noen slike også ;) Dette kortet ble gitt bort som konfirmasjonskort, og det passer jo bra som det :)

The #7. challenge on this new blog I found, Lili of the Valley - is to make a card for a teenager. And this is certainly not for weakhearted grandmas or small innocent children, but suits both a teenage boy, or a frisky 'dude' or 'chick'.... ;)

On this card...
Stamps/Images: Norwegian textstamp (wich translates to: best wishes for the day and the future) from Kreativ Hobby, and the hottie is a pic from somwhere on the web (?) printed on white bazzill.
Paper: Bazzill cardstock, and 'Reaction' a Crate Paper from the Static Collection - I LOVE theese!
Embellishments: Ì kan' déé from Pebbles Inc have great twine! I've used my silentsetter to make holes, then I sew with the twine, added an chinese coin (?) good luck charm - and made a knot :)

Chick's RULE! *lol*

Lagde enda ett kort igår, til Papertake Weekly Challenge, etter en kjempefin skisse: Katharina's Sketch #7 Stemplet er fra Papilio - Skater Katie, som man får kjøpt hos Steffens. Og arkene er bla. fra Basic Grey, og fra Crate's Static Collection som har noen råstilige ark!


I also made this card yesterday, for the challenge at Papertake Weekly, with Katharina's Sketch #7. The stamp is Skater Katie from PapilioStamps, wich can be bought at Steffens. Some of the papers used are from Basic Grey & Crate's Static Collection.
