Special Moments with you... 🌹

 

Godt Nyttår!!! 😊 Mitt første kort i 2022 har stort sett gamle ting, ettersom jeg har lovt meg selv at jeg skal bruke mer av mine neglisjerte stempler og stæsj.

Kortet er (ett noe forsinka) DT bidrag hos Creative Fingers #222., som er sponset av vår DT Angelique med et flott clearstamp stempelsett! Som alltid har vi et 'Lag-hva-du-vil' tema, og velkommen skal du være 💗 =^..^=

{Fått med deg Jule-BloggCandyen vi har gående hos CF? Delta innen 22jan.}

Gultonen på bildene mine er borte! Yay! Det var en spotlight i enden av rommet som var synderen! Har tidligere brukt såå mye tid på å redigere bort den gule tonen og få tilbake riktige farger på bildene, skjønte ikke hvorfor jeg var så plaget ~ kjøpte et fint lite foto telt, og kameraet på mobilen skal være helt supert, men bildene nektet å se fine ut... Tusen takk Anne (på designteamet) for tipset om varme lyspærer. Du kan si 'det gikk opp et lys for meg' ... LOL 😅 Tenkte jeg skulle nevne det her, i tilfelle noen andre trenger det rådet. 👍

 

 Norwegian text is loosely translated into:
('For you' circle) 'This is a card with good memories..
for all the days that you're missing home.
I also wish you were here'.

 

Happy New Years!!! 😊 For my first card of 2022 I have used pretty much only old stuff from my stash ~ as one of my newyears resolutions (and this year it's going to stick.. lol) is to use more of my sadly neglected old stamps and papers.

My DT card (wich is added a day late, whoops!) is for this fortnights challenge #222. at Creative Fingers. We're sponsored by our DT Angelique with a fab clearstamp set, and as always it is an 'Anything goes theme'. You are more than welcome to join with your creations 💗 =^..^=

The yellow hue on my photos is gone! Yay! It was a spotlight at the other side of the room that was the culprit. Earlier I have used sooo much time editing every photo I take to adjust into correct colors - didn't realise why it was such a hassle, when I had a great camera on my phone and even bought a photo tent! .. Thank you so much Anne (fellow DT) for the tip about warm toned lightbulbs. ..You might say a 'lightbulb went off' in my head! LOL 😅 Just thought I'd mention it in case someone else might need that advice. 👍

Fairytale Christmascards!

Her er noen julekort som var utrolig enkle å kjapt å lage ~ noen ganger trenger man det også! Spesielt rett før jul ;) 

Jeg elsker å fargelegge motiver, men her har jeg bare brukt motiver klipt ut fra design papirark eller ferdig farget digitalt motiv skrevet ut på kartong. Og masse resteark og pynt fra tidligere års julekort-laging, som jeg oppbevarer i en egen folder ~ den begynner å bule i sømmene så full er den! 

Det er også alltid en bra ting å resirkulere gamle julekort, så alle disse er gamle kjedelige julekort fra ca 20 år siden som istedenfor å bli kastet blir nye med fine ark og pynt ♥

Har du forresten sett Creative Fingers DTs ~ Christmas blogcandy? Jeg sponser et av de tre stempelsettene man kan vinne der, innen 10. januar! :)

Here are some christmascards wich was incredibly quick and easy to create, as most of the cardingredients were ready to add on. Sometimes you need those too ~ especially close to christmas!

I love colouring motifs, but here I've only used pre-colored ones printed out, or motifs cutout from designerpapers. Also a whole lot of scrap papers and embellishments from earlier years of christmas cardmaking. I keep those in a big folder, wich has now started to come apart at the seams... it's that full!

It's also a good thing to recycle old christmas cards, so all of the cardblanks here are generic boring old christmascards that has been sitting in a box since 20 years ago. Better to re-use instead of throw away! All new with some pretty paper and decorations ♥

Have you seen Creative Fingers DTs ~ Christmas BlogCandy? I'm sponsoring one of the three stampsets there! You have until Jan.10th to enter :)

Mothers Day Rose card

 

Er litt seint ute idag med kortet mitt, hatt migrene i noen dager nå, og da går ting litt tregere enn normalt ~ eller ikke i det hele tatt :P

Her i Norge er morsdagen kommet og gått, i februar ~ men jeg liker å lage opp et lite lager av forskjellige tema-kort, og dette motivet passet så godt til et morsdags kort :) 

Lagde dette som mitt DT bidrag hos Creative Fingers #160., med det nydelige rose motivet som er fra vår sponsor Morgan's ArtWorld. Som alltid har vi et 'Lag-hva-du-vil' tema, og velkommen skal du være ♥

Sorry to be running a bit late in getting this posted, migraines again for days, things tends to go very slow then.. or not at all.. :P 

Here in Norway Mothers day has come and gone, in february, but I like keeping a box of ready made cards for every occasion. And I thought this rose would be lovely for a Mothers Day card.

This is my DT creation for this fortnights challenge #160. at Creative Fingers, and the beautiful rose 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 ♥

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!
