Vintage Teddy Card & American Idol ramblings..

Ei venninne av søstra mi bestillte et kort hos meg, og hun plukket selv ut stempler og farger hun ville ha på det, så hadde jeg moro med å male og få alt til å passe sammen ~ tror jeg har fått det maskulint nok til en voksen mann? :)

.. *Sukk* Jeg sitter her og kan knapt konsentrere meg om å blogge jeg... Blir rent mo i knærne av den stemmen til James Durbin! ♥ Fikk ei cd-plate i posten idag, fra Amazon ~ 'Memories of a beautiful disaster' debut plata, er super fornøyd med den ~ passer perfekt inn i min musikksmak! Har også Cd'n 'American Idol Season 10 highlights' ~ James var min topp favoritt ifjor, sammen med Paul McDonald og Lauren Aleina. Hør Paul's sang med kjæresten Nikki Reed på YouTube ~ Now that I've found you! Vakkert... Også Haley Reinhart, Casey Abrams og Scotty McCreery (som vant), var favoritter.. og jeg kommer sikkert til å kjøpe musikk fra dem også etterhvert ~ Men James skulle absolutt ha vunnet! 

This is a card a friend of my sister comissioned ~ a boat, teddy and the other stamps shown was picked by her, as well as the color scheme, and I had free hands to put it all together! It was very fun to make it all match and I hope she will like it and her friend to receive it! :)

I'm supposed to blog about this card, but I keep getting sidetracked by the cd that's playing in the background, wich I got in the mail today. Check out DurbinRocks.com to listen for yourself! (music player) And getting a little sentimental I got stuck on YouTube for a while, searching & listening for old videos... James was my absolute fave in American Idol last year, so ofcourse I had to get his debut album ♥ Paul McDonald, Lauren Aleina, Haley Reinhart, Casey Abrams & Scotty McCreery were also amazing, and I followed them all the way. Many hours spent watching Idol, oh yes!

Durbin's version of 'Uprising' on Am.Idol was even better than the original by Muse! And when he sang 'While my guitar gently weeps' it was beautiful!... I'll never forget it. (This video is when he was on Ellen show after voted off). Here he is in Metal Heaven together with Judas Priest!!!

My fave Paul song was Maggie May (Rod Stewart) & this new one where he sing with his girlfriend Nikki Reed 'Now that I've found you' just melt my heart completely... ♥
Haley's 'House of the Rising Sun' & 'I who have nothing' (++)... AMAZING! I get chills .. Casey & Haley together on was Da Bomb! Check out this jazz duet they do 'Moaning' ~ all velvet and growls! Here is my fave Casey performances 'Harder to breathe' & 'Georgia on my mind' so much SOUL! And how cool is this duet with Jack Black!!! Fat bottom girls!
 Also listen to Laurens angel voice on 'Like my mother does' musicvideo wich she also did on Am.Idol. And her new song 'Georgia Peaches' from her debut! Scotty is the cutest, my mums top fave ofcourse, country all the way *lol* I love country too and he's just awesome in theese new musicvideos 'I love you this big' here & 'the trouble with girls'... but James still should've won in my opinion! ;) Well, I think that's just about enough ramblings on last years Idol.. just had to get it out there! And now I have a list of fave videos to go back and listen to whenever I want *lol*

Doodle ~ doo?

Drodling ja... Jeg har iallefall prøvd! *lol* Ble ikke heeelt fornøyd, men det er da også årevis siden jeg har drodla, ikke siden jeg gikk på skole tror jeg ~ alle skrivebøkene mine var fulle av drodler... ~ morsomt å bruke på kort! ;)

Clean & Simple Animal Cards!

Denne helga har jeg hatt bod på en liten håndverksmesse her i Blokken! Riktig moro - og fikk solgt mange kort, men egenreklame er det vel mest verdi i! Fått flere bestillinger på kort, så jeg har mye å gjøre fremover :)

Lagde disse tre enkle kortene med et digitalt decoupage ark fra Cuddly Buddly, enkle og søte med en Sad Sam lookalike! Du husker vel dem? Opplevde du 80'tallet er sjangsen stor for at du hadde sad sam leker eller klistremerker (fra tyggegumien!) på skoledagboka... ♥


Er med på disse utfordringene: Stampalots Juli tema er 'hva som helst'. Fab 'n' Funky #82. er 'Dyr'. Creative Craft er 'å bruke 3D', og PaperTake har 'Søt' som tema :)



Luv this cute little puppy! Doesn't he look like the Sad Sam character of the 80's? I attended a handcraft fair in Blokken this weekend & got some of my cards sold, and a few orders! Loads of fun :)

All Clean & simple cards, with a 3D decoupage sheet from Cuddly Buddly! I enter theese into the challenge at Stampalot for July wich is - Anything Goes! Fab 'n' Funky #82. is Animal Magic. Creative Craft Challenge is 'Let's 3D it!' & PaperTake Weekly has - Getting Cute as a theme, and this pup sure got that awwww factor :)

a Splenda Box!

Scrappekammeret's utfordring #4 er Alternative Scrappesaker: å grave frem noe man ikke vanligvis bruker, og vri hjernen til noe kreativt kommer ut! Hehe.. Jeg lette ikke lenge da jeg skulle gi bort en gave til en av mine brødre - og puttet den i en tom Splenda boks som jeg dekorerte litt. Den kan han jo senere putte spiker, skruer og andre gutteting oppi! :)


The norwegian challengeblog Scrappekammeret had this alternative theme - to use something real original, and something u rarely use. And I rarely scrap empty house supplies boxes! This was a gift for my brother - to keep those boy-things like odd screws & rusted nails in :)
