Umbrella Mouse x3!

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?

Keep on Swimming ~ Reveal Wheel Cards

 

Har vært litt stille her på bloggen... Helsa og energien til å lage ting har vært helt på bunn... Men nå har jeg fått hjem 'bestemorsstolen' min (god ergonomisk arbeidstol arvet fra ho bestemor) og etter scrappetreffet jeg var på forrige helg har mojoen kommet tilbake føler jeg! Det var online selvfølgelig, i regi av Scrappesyken på FB. Så moro!

Kortene mine idag er DT bidrag hos Creative Fingers #204. Vi blir sponset av vår egen DT Angelique, med et flott clearstamps sett! Som alltid har vi et 'Lag-hva-du-vil' tema, og velkommen skal du være :)

 

I added this snippet on youtube of the reveal wheel effect :)

 

 
So its been quiet around here... my health and mojo have been very low, but with getting my 'grandma-chair' (inherited ergonomic chair) back from repair, and a bunch of new extremely fun dies, I feel up to making again. In fact last weekend I made several cards and some ATC's during an online craft-event with 50+ other norwegian crafters. Those creations I'll be putting in another blogpost soon :)

Theese Keep on Swimming cards were SO much fun to create, with the interactive die set called 'Reveal wheel' from Lawn Fawn. 

They are my DT inspiration for this fortnights challenge #204. at Creative Fingers, and we're sponsored by our own DT Angelique this time with a gorgeous clearstamp set. As always it is an 'Anything goes theme', and you are more than welcome to join with your creations ♥..

● As you like it ~ Favourite way to cut an image & Why:

Fussycutting ~ because it is relaxing to just sit n cut, u have control over how much or how little of the white edge shows ~ and also because I prefer to use my money on other stuff than co-ordinating dies - except for special kinds of dies that is interactive or that comes in handy for the set. [March 24th.]
● TIME OUT #183. ~ Different: doing interactive cards is kinda differerent from what I normally would do, and the aquariums. They're not something I would have at all. Looks cute on a card though! [March 24th.]

● Word Art Wednesdays #483-484. ~ AG w. words [March 30th.]
● 2 Crafty Critter Crazies #48. ~ AG w. Critter [March 25th.]
● Crafts Galore Encore #85. ~ Always AG [March 30th.]

● Pammie's Inky Pinkies #2111. ~ AG [March 21th.]

● Allsorts #week 615. ~ Stamped image(s)! [March 19th.]

Life is too short to be Normal ~ Stay Weird!

Den 5 oktober i år var 'World Cardmaking Day' og jeg lagde to kort til en utfordring på en facebook cyber crop som TPC Magazine holdt. Artikkelen med Galleri og Top3 finner du her. Utrolig mange flotte kreasjoner! 

Det var tre utfordringer, men jeg fikk bare gjort en av dem ~ Moodboard. Jeg har hatt flere Katzelcraft og Visible Image stempelsett ganske lenge uten å bruke dem, og siden jeg har lovt meg selv å bruke mest mulig av sånne 'avglemte' stempler, ble det to morsomme mixed media kattekort fra meg ~ med et kjempe-kjempe-gammelt Stampotique stol stempel som passet helt purrrfekt til kattepusene! :) 

Sjekk ut den nyeste bloggcandy'en min her!  

October 5th. was the 'Worlds Cardmaking Day' and I participated in the Cyber Crop event that the scandinavian TPC Magazine held on Facebook. There were so many awesome creations and the gallery and top3 can be found here. 

They had three challenges and I wish I would have been able to do all of them, but I chose one that really was so much fun to do as I was inspired to use some mixed media! And also I got a chance to play with some supercute Katzelcraft & Visible Image stamps I've had for a while now and not used. As I've recently decided to use more of my forgotten and unused stamps and stash, I made two cute cat cards ~ with a really old Stampotique chair stamp that was a PURRFECT fit for my cats! :)
