Crazy little thing called love! 💗

Godt Nytt år! 🥳
Jeg starter alltid det nye året med mange gode forsetter, som å være mere produktiv, å bruke mere av det jeg har kjøpt og aldri bruker... men det blir jo ofte til at man ender opp med å bruke det aller siste stæsjet man har kjøpt.. DETTE året blir året jeg skal lage SÅ mye og bruke SÅ mye av mine nedstøvete, avglemte og uorganiserte (en ting til å gjøre ~ rydde opp i sakene!) scrappe-ting! 😏

Mange kreative bruker kun et merke produkter på et prosjekt, dies, stempler, medier og ark fra samme produsent. Det er helt greit selvsagt, men jeg er stor fan av å mixe og bruke ting sammen uansett merke! Som her med Hero Arts, Penny Black og mine egne digistempler sammen med mange forskjellige medier. Du får mye mere ut av stæsjet ditt og mer variasjoner, enn om man bare lager noe med samme merke 😊 👍

Kortet mitt er DT bidrag hos Creative Fingers #246. Som alltid har vi et 'Lag-hva-du-vil' tema. Jeg er sponsor denne gangen og gir bort tre av mine digistempel som premie! Velkommen skal du være 💗

Husk også at vi har en BlogCandy hos Creative Fingers om du enda ikke har joinet >klikk her< med masse flott scrappesnacks!

 

 

Happy New Year! 🥳
I always seem to start a new year with a lot of good intentions, like beeing more productive, to use more of the stuff i bought and never even opened.... But I always end up using my latest purchase on creations... THIS year will be the year I am going to use SO much of all my dusty neglected and disorganized (another thing i really need to do ~ organize my stuff) art supplies!!! 😏

A lot of creators use just one kind of brand on a project, dies, stamps, mediums and papers co-ordinating ~ and thats cool too, but I love mixing it up and use different brands together, like here I have Hero Arts, Penny Black and my own digis on the card with many different kinds of mediums! You get a lot more use of your stuff and more variations than with only using same brand on a project 😊 👍

My card is DT inspiration for Creative Fingers #249., and as always it is an 'Anything goes theme'. You are more than welcome to join with your creations. I am sponsoring with three of my digistamps as a prize this time! 💗

PS: Dont forget that we have a blogcandy going! If you haven't entered yet, go to this > blogpost here < for your chance to win some really awesome goodies!

Dies: Hero Arts Stamp & Cut 'Heart Tree DC278' heart die and HA 'Museum frame DF044' die. Nellie Snellen 'Magic Stamping Card Die Set' Heart die. Crafts Too Presscut 'Circle Nesting Dies PCD46'.
Essentials/Adhesives: Bonefolder.

High-Tack adhesive tape Sookwang Scor-Pal tape &/or Red tape. 3D foam/mosegummi. Sakura GellyRoll gold glitter pen. The Rabbit Hole Designs Cottontail embossing powder tool.

Techniques/Mediums: I used Luminarte Twinkling H2o's Shimmering Watercolors 'Apricot nectar' & 'Spiced pumpkin', and Tim Holtz Distress Ink pads 'Ground espresso', Oxide inks 'Rustic Wilderness' & 'Broken China', plus Distress spray stain 'Lumberjack plaid', to watercolor and distress image and papers. I splattered with Alf Bjerke 'Gull 43' gold watercolor. To heat emboss I used a Versamark inkpad, a heat gun tool & Hero Arts clear embossingpowder.

First i made a big mistake though... I used an embossingink dabber on my LOVE watercolored image = soaked right through the paper!!! way to wet on the dabber (next time i will instead dab ink off and rub with a finger on top of the diecut or just use the inkpad straight away lol). And when all embossed and dry it was still so sticky/oily on the back that the adhesive tape just fell off. I saved it with trying to water it and dab it off, then adding Ranger Collage glue medium on the back, then the 3D foam after the glue dried, and that luckily worked out and it is stuck on good to the card now. Phew! 😅

Monster Birthday Party!

 

Fikk første sprøytestikket idag med Pfizer vaksinen! Yay! Kjempevondt i armen, men det er ingenting for snart kan jeg leve et mer normalt liv. Har stort sett ikke vært utenfor huset siden pandemien startet, ettersom jeg har vært nødt å selvisolere pga av diabetes og andre helseplager. Selv om jeg liker å være for meg selv (og ikke er særlig glad i masse mennesker på en gang), så gleder jeg meg til å igjen kunne dra på shopping, spise ute på restaurant, og ha noen over på besøk! ☺️

Disse søte monstrene er favorittmotivet mitt fra Bugaboo stamps, (se tidligere monster kreasjoner her) vår sponsor denne gang hos Creative Fingers #211. DT bidraget mitt er et bursdagskort i knallfarger! Tror jeg var litt inspirert av Monsters inc da jeg valgte fargene LOL 😄

Som alltid har vi et 'Lag-hva-du-vil' tema, og velkommen skal du være ❤️

 

~ Happy Birthday ~

 

Yay! I got my first shot of the Pfizer vaccine today & my arm is hurting so much! Happy for the pain though.. Beeing in the risk-group with diabetes and other issues, I am so glad to finally be on track to a more normal life. Having to selfisolate since the pandemic began (I can count on one hand the times I have been into the city... mostly for dentist/doctor appointments) it will be nice to soon be able to go to a store and just browse or sit in a restaurant, and have people over to visit! Luckily I have always been the type of person that enjoy beeing on my own. Just.. not this much! 😉 

Theese adorable mosters are my alltime favourite motif from our sponsor Bugaboo Stamps at Creative Fingers! I have used Jodies monsters for many creations through the years as you can see here, and for my DT creation this time I think I was inspired by the Monsters Inc. movie when coloring, very colorful birthday card LOL 😄

For Creative Fingers challenge #211. it is always an 'Anything goes theme', and you are more than welcome to join with your creations ❤️

Once upon a time...

 ...there lived a beautiful princess ♥

Det som tar aller størst plass i filmsamlinga mi er Disney filmer, tror nok jeg har så og si alle klassikerne og mange av oppfølgerne. Gleder meg stort til vi endelig får Disney+ til Norge! Endelig får vi også sett the Mandalorian og baby Yoda ;) 
Kan du gjette hvilke to Disney prinsesser jeg hentet inspirasjon fra da jeg lagde denne mixed media artjournaling siden? *svar nederst i bloggposten*

Egentlig handlet sidene - før jeg endret den - om en helt annen historie om 'Den forheksede prinsessen'. Illustrusjonen helt til venstre er det eneste jeg beholdt av barneboksiden, noen ganger beholder jeg deler av tekst og bilder og andre ganger har jeg malt over alle detaljene. Ikke alle illustrasjonene som er like flotte som dette ;) 

Boka den heter 'Verdens vakreste Eventyr - 6. bind', funnet til en billig penge på en brukthandel. Nå får den nytt liv som artjournaling eventyr bok! Du kan se alle de andre sidene jeg har laget i den her: Bloggposter om Art Journaling.

Dette er mitt DT bidrag hos Creative Fingers #182., som er sponset av vår egen Angelique med et stempel & die sett! Som alltid har vi et 'Lag-hva-du-vil' tema, og velkommen skal du være :) 

The biggest part of my movie collection are Disney animated movies. Think I almost have all the classics now, and alot of the sequels. I'm really looking forward to when we will get Disney+ here in Norway. Very unfair that we haven't already! ... I have no idea what all the fuzz is about the Mandalorian and baby Yoda!!! ;)
Can you guess wich two Disney princesses I got my inspiration from for my mixed media artjournaling page spread? *answer at the bottom of post*

Actually theese pages, before I altered them into an art journal spread, were a whole other story but about 'the enchanted princess'. You can tell by the image she is a princess, so I thought it would fit my own princess story. That illustration to the left is the only thing I didn't paint over, sometimes I keep more of the original pages, but not everything in the book looks as good as this princess image ♥

I picked out paints and papers from my stash 
with colors that matched the princess illustration.

The book is named 'Verdens Vakreste Eventyr' wich translates into 'Worlds most beautiful fairytales' book number 6 in a series of old childrens books. My 3rd edition book was made in 1981!
Here is all the blogposts I have about pages in my Art Journaling book, my very first one btw. :)

This is my DT creation for this fortnights challenge #182. at Creative Fingers wich is sponsored by our own DT Angelique this time with a stamps & die set! As always it is an 'Anything goes theme', and you are more than welcome to join with your creations ♥

Stay safe and Get your Craft on!
Take care everyone! ♥ ♥ ♥ 

...

I used stickles & nuvodrops to add some shine and 
glitter to details, and the castle is embossed with
both sand, gold & bronze emb.powders.

I mixed up a dark green paint wich I dabbed thru
this rose stencil, then embossed with gold emb.powder.

 The tree/wood pattern was made with texture paste
and a stencil plus some scratching with a spatula.
Since the paste is greyish white, I painted over
the woods with my brown paint, and also added some 
black & brown T.H. distress crayons & stains.

The gorgeous Rapunzel hair was fussycut from
a designerpaper and popped up with 3D foam.

I used a tissuepaper on this page, sisal and some 
pretty leaf pattern rhinestone embellishments.. 
of which I have had for ages not wanting to use
just on a card.. now I can keep 'em myself! ;)
