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.

WCD ~ Christmas cards 🎄

Lørdag var det 'World Cardmaking Day' og jeg lagde to kort til TPC Magazine sitt facebook event scrappetreff. Artikkel med Galleri og Top3 blir lagt ut den 10 oktober, med enda en vinner ~ og jeg kommer til å oppdatere med link her. De første vinnerne var lagt ut i egen bloggpost her på søndag kveld :)

Oppdatering: Topp 3 og Galleri fra TPC! Disse kortene er i Galleri: Teknikk.

Kjempemoro å delta og se alt det flotte som ble lagd iløpet av dagen ♥ Mye å se på rundt om på nett denne helga også, men jeg var spesielt fascinert av Tim Holtz sin live på youtube med de nye hus-diesene! Oj, det blir hardt for lommeboka, men det blir nok julegave til meg selv ;)

Det var tre utfordringer, og jeg valgte en av dem ~ Teknikk: Fargelagt motiv på kort ~ og distress ink med akvarell maling som er min favorittmåte å fargelegge stempeltrykk på. Ble to julekort for det trenger man alltid flere av! Og motiv denne gangen er med søte Penny Black og hÄnglar motiv ♥ ♥ ♥

Saturday was the 'World Cardmaking Day' and I participated in a Cyber Crop that the scandinavian TPC Magazine held in an event on Facebook. There were so many awesome creations and I had fun making theese two cards for one of the three challenges ~ Technique: Make a card with a handcolored motif.
Winners was chosen >on this blogpost here< sunday night, and on october 10th there will be another winner with a gallery and top3 chosen creations at TPC wich I will update here with a link. 

UPDATE: Top 3 and a Gallery was posted at TPC here.

There were lots of fun lives throughout saturday and the rest of the weekend dedicated to WCD, however the one video I was most facinated by was the Tim Holtz live on youtube. Those little house dies are amazing! Definitly going to have to give them to myself for christmas! :D

I ended up making two christmascards, because you always need more of those! The watercolored motifs are of the supercute Penny Black and the sweet girl is an old hÄnglar & stÄnglar stamp ~ now renamed as hÄnglar & Wings ♥

Kortene mine idag er DT bidrag hos Creative Fingers #206., og den supersøte musa er motiv fra vår sponsor Bugaboo Stamps. Som alltid har vi et 'Lag-hva-du-vil' tema, og velkommen skal du være :) 

Jeg fikk nylig en masse nye dies fra Lawn Fawn som jeg hadde lyst å leke med ~ og tenkte de ville passe godt sammen med Bugaboos morsomme motiv ♥ Var så gøy at jeg endte opp med å lage tre kort ~ men fikk så mye smerter i hendene mine (psoriasis sprekker på knokene og vondt i leddene) at jeg måtte ta en lengre pause, så jeg er en dag på etterskudd med å legge dem ut. Veldig sliten men moro å få litt kreativ mojo tilbake!

Nå skal jeg slappe av med litt Animal Crossing som er den favorittspillet mitt :) Noen andre som har blitt hekta på det siste året?

 

..

Theese cards are my DT creation for this fortnights challenge #206. at Creative Fingers has a supercute mouse motif from our sponsor Bugaboo Stamps, and I apologize for beeing a day late in uploading as I had a bit too much fun and made three cards at the same time! My hands didn't like it though.. and my back actually got so bad that I needed to wait until today to finish them and take their photos :P 

 

My hands have joint aches and sore cracks from psoriasis on the knuckles so crafting can be painful at times ~ but fun to get some mojo back all the same! I got some new dies recently I been wanting to play with from Lawn Fawn and boy do they work well together with Bugaboos cute designs :)

As always it is an 'Anything goes theme', and you are more than welcome to join with your creations ♥

Now I'm gonna relax with my fave game, Animal Crossing :) Anyone else got hooked on that virtual island life this past year?
