Creative Fingers ♥ Christmas ~ Part 2.

Godt Nytt År! Da var jula over for denne gang, med masse god mat, gode venner & familie, kjempekoselig å få så mange flotte gaver & fine jule hilsninger ♥

DesignTeamet hos Creative Fingers ønsker å takker våre flotte sponsorer gjennom året som var, og har en bloggpost som du kan finne her. På grunn av sykdom og andre uforutsette hendelser, så ble disse kreasjonene først lagt til i bloggposten i kveld, beklager så mye forsinkelsen! ♥

Jeg har funnet frem fire av mine favoritt motiver fra Crafts and Me UK, Octopode Factory, Scrap n Dipity og Bugaboo Stamps, og det ble to julekort, en tag og en gaveboks! Boksen er faktisk esken til en kirsebær ost og jeg har pynta slike esker før også om du vil ta en titt: CrémeChérie keepsake box tutorial!

..og vi har også en Christmas blogcandy gående helt frem til 24. Januar, da vi har tatt en liten pause med utfordringene :)

Happy New Years! ♥ Christmas has come and gone, with lots of good foods, good friends and family, sweet christmas greetings, and I got many lovely presents too.. Good times :)

Creative Fingers Design Team wishes to thank our sponsors throughout 2017, and you can find the blogpost here. Due to illness and other unforseen circumstances, theese creations I am showing off today, was just added to that blogpost. So sorry for the delay ♥ ♥ ♥

I have colored four of my favourite images by Crafts and Me UK, Octopode Factory, Scrap n Dipity and Bugaboo Stamps ♥ Two christmas cards, a fun tag and a gift box! The box have actually been the container of a super yummy cherry soft cheese, and I have decorated theese before ~ if you want to take a look here is a link: CrémeChérie keepsake box tutorial!

We're also having a Christmas Blogcandy, wich will stay open until January 24th. as the DesignTeam are on an extended holiday break from the challenges ♥

It is amazing, big drops, small drops, light mist or big spray of water ~ this is THE BEST water spritzing tool!  And believe me, I have gone through about ten different ones, water misting bottles for crafters as well as glasses lens cleaning spraybottles and hairspray bottles that I had cleaned and used ~ Nothing like the Tim Distress Sprayer!

Dreamcatcher Rose

Jeg kjøper ofte utenlandske scrappeblader, ikke så mye for inspirasjon (det har jeg Ett Trykk til, som er mere min stil med den nordiske tilnærmingen til kortlaging!) men det er så utrolig mye flotte gratisting som følger med! Som begge embossingfolderne jeg har brukt her og dekor-stemplene ♥
Kortet mitt er DT-bidrag til utfordring #128. hos Creative Fingers ~ hvor Scrap N' Dipity er vår flotte sponsor. Og som alltid har vi et 'Lag-hva-du-vil' tema :)

I often buy english scrapping / cardmaking magazines, not so much for the inspiration (as the kind of cards I make I rarely find in those magz, but in scandinavian ones of wich there used to be several, like Magnolia Stamps ♥ but now there's only Ett Trykk left that I know of) but I buy them for all the crafty goodies! The embossing folders used here I've gotten in magazines, the lovely frame one I bought just yeasterday :)

For this fortnights challenge #128. at Creative Fingers ~ we have Scrap N' Dipity as a sponsor and we got lovely digis to work with ♥ As always the theme is ~ Anything goes, and you are welcome to join! :)

Goth Fairy Ambrosia!

Wow! Tredje bloggposten i dag, tror øynene mine er blitt firkanta og hendene mine er vel helt ødelagt :P Men det var vel verdt ei våkenatt for å få alt inn. Beklager om jeg har vært litt fraværende rundt om bloggland, har ikke mye overskudd igjen nå..

Ble veldig fornøyd med dette kortet (sjeldent at jeg får en idé og klarer å fullføre uten å endre på alt så jeg ender opp med noe helt annet enn jeg startet med), ble akkurat sånn jeg så for meg!  ♥

...

Også denne gangen har vi to flotte sponsorer i utfordring #106. hos Creative Fingers ~ Holly Durr Art & Scrap N' Dipity som mitt motiv er fra. Som alltid har vi et 'Lag-hva-du-vil' tema :) 

Phew.. this is my third blogpost today.. Ever heard that you'll get square eyes if you watch the tv or pc for too long? :P *lol* what they use to say to children to make them go out and do something active for a change.. Well I am sure my eyes gotta be square by now, feels like it anyways! Up all night, and my fingers aches.. 
But I am very satisfied with how this card turned out ♥ Made the angelic looking fairy a goth makeover, and the idea I had for the card ended up like I pictured it in my mind, so that's a first! Usually NEver ends up looking like I plan! ;)

For this fortnights challenge #106. at Creative Fingers ~ we are again so lucky to have two sponsors: Holly Durr Art & Scrap N' Dipity who gave us lovely digis to work with ♥ And as always the theme is ~ Anything goes, and you are welcome to join! :)
