Confirmation in Winter!

Jeg ble spurt om å lage et konfirmasjonskort for barnebarnet til en av min mors venninner, og med printet foto, favoritt hobbyer og farger, så ble det ganske så kult! Håper hun liker det ♥

Konfirmasjonskortet er mitt DT bidrag hos Creative Fingers #218., som er sponset denne gang av vår DT Angelique med flott perlebling! Som alltid har vi et 'Lag-hva-du-vil' tema, og velkommen skal du være :)

 

 

I was asked to make a confirmation day card for the grand-daughter of one of my mums friends. Themed to fit the girls hobbies and favorite colors it ended up pretty awesome. Hope she loves it! ♥

It's my DT card for this fortnights challenge #218. at Creative Fingers, wich is sponsored with a sweet prize by our DT Angelique. As always it is an 'Anything goes theme', and you are more than welcome to join with your creations :) ♥

 

The inside of the card is themed to the interests of the girl receiving the card. Side view of the card with a matching envelope.

Photo of the girl has been blurred out :)

More triple-layer-die ChristmasCards!

Lagde to julekort til med den nydelige 'Melissa' snøkrystall-lignende lag-på-lag-diesen fra Sue Wilson, som jeg blogget igår om, med et kort som hadde et julenissesledemotiv i midten. Det røde kortet her har et av de orginale die-motivene som fulgte med i settet men jeg tror nok jeg oftest kommer til å bruke den som en ramme.

Har du forresten sett vår flotte Creative Fingers DTs ~ Christmas blogcandy? Jeg sponser et av de tre stempelsettene man kan vinne der! :)

(God Jul = Merry Christmas)

I have yet another two christmascards with my new gorgeous snowflake-ish 'Melissa' triple-layer-die from Sue Wilson. My red card has the original middle-dies that followed the set. You can see the previous blogpost here with the santasleigh die motif in the middle :)

Happy New Year! 🎉

 

🎇 Et riktig Godt Nytt år til dere alle! 🎇
Håper det blir både kreativt og fullt opp av gode opplevelser ♥

Rett før jul fikk jeg pakke i posten fra Joanna Sheen ~ handler ganske mye der, siden de har gratis porto for kjøp over £15., er oversiktlig og har mye flott i nettbutikken! 
Denne nydelige 'Melissa' snøkrystall-lignende lag-på-lag-diesen fra Sue Wilson falt jeg pladask for og tenkte at jeg kunne bruke en annen dies jeg har (også Sue W. design) som motiv i midten. Perfekt til julekort motiv! :)

🎇 I wish you all a Happy New Year! 🎇
I hope it will be a good one, filled with creativity & joyful experiences ♥ 

Right before christmas I got a package in the mail from Joanna Sheen ~ wich is a webshop in the UK that I frequently shop from. Free postage when you buy above £15., very easy to shop and they have a lot of goodies and always something on sale!
I just had to get this gorgeous snowflake-ish 'Melissa' triple-layer-die from Sue Wilson as soon as I saw it, thinking that it would be perfect for christmascards and the use of another dies I had (also Sue W. design) with the santasleigh motif in the middle :)

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 ♥

Sjekk ut den nyeste bloggcandy'en min her!

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 ♥

Spooky Halloween!

 

BØø!!! Det merkest at det er Oktober ute.. huff så kaldt det har blitt, og det ligger an til å bli frost i natt. Men oktober betyr også snart Halloween! Jeg er ikke typen til å feire med fest og kostymer, men jeg elsker alt som har med halloween å gjøre og har masse pynt jeg allerede har tatt frem, og en svær bunke med filmer jeg ser hvert eneste år ~ for eksempel Hocus Pocus og Nightmare before christmas ♥ 

Motivet er fra Bugaboo Stamps, vår sponsor hos Creative Fingers #138. Bugaboo har masse flotte halloween motiver, så jeg lagde et 'spooky' kort som mitt DT bidrag. Som alltid har vi et 'Lag-hva-du-vil' tema, og velkommen skal du være :) 

... Så du forresten at jeg har en ny bloggcandy? X-mas Surprise BlogCandy! 

BOO! The days are getting darker and colder, and I think we're getting frost tonight, so winter is getting close.. but that also means October and Halloween! I'm not the type of person to dress up and go to halloween themed parties, but I LOVE all things halloweeny and have lots of decorations I've already put up. And I have a huge stack of movies waiting to be seen, as I do every year ~ like f.ex. Hocus Pocus & Nightmare before Christmas ♥

My DT card for this fortnights challenge #138. at Creative Fingers has a spooky house motif from our fab sponsor, Bugaboo stamps, and as always it is an 'Anything goes theme'. You are more than welcome to join with your creations!
