Flippin' Dude Birthday tag

 
Tag/Bokmerket (seint ute igjen, har dessverre fremdeles data-trøbbel..) er mitt inspirasjons bidrag for Creative Fingers utfordring #287. Vår DT Angelique er sponsor denne gang, med 'Lovis Designs' og et flott digitalt kort kit som premie! Som alltid har vi et 'Lag-hva-du-vil' tema. Velkommen skal du være! 💗 

I'm very delayed ~ unfortunately been having major laptop & internet issues, hopeful they getting fixed but not likely soon ... big ooof! My laptop has been sluggish for months, and i got dead pixels too ~ but now the trackpad/touchpad on the laptop stopped working and not even new drivers fixed it ~ it also is making my smartphone get ghost-touch-issues, superweird and i cant have em both in same room! Really need a new laptop, but that had to be delayed since i needed a new tv first 🤪 I' very happy with my new tv though! thats working perfectly, watching my fave movies in 4K and gaming on a 55" is just awesome!

My tag/bookmark is DT inspiration for this fortnights challenge #287. at Creative Fingers. Our DT Angelique is sponsoring as 'Lovis Designs' (under developement) with a gorgeous digital card kit as a prize! As always it is an 'Anything goes theme', and you are more than welcome to join with your creations 💗

Nordic Christmas card ⛄

En stund siden sist det var aktivitet her i bloggen ~ har hatt litt mye å stri med de siste månedene ... familie, min egen og andres dårlige helse, og datatrøbbel... Prokrastinert å kjøpe ny laptop.. Den jeg ville ha ble plutselig borte fra markedet, og da den kom tilbake hadde den nye spesifikasjoner. Måtte lete på nytt etter 'drømme-laptopen' 🤔
Muligens funnet den, regner med å bli litt mere produktiv når jeg har kjøpt den, for ikke å snakke om ny kreativitet! Å tegne med blyant har vært for vondt for mine dårlige hender, så jeg håper å kunne bruke laptopen som digitalt tegnebrett og lage digistempler igjen!

Snømann motivet på kortet mitt er lagd av meg, og er et digistempel jeg selv har tegnet, malt med akvarellfarger og så scannet, så det kan printes ut som clipart! 'Doodle Snowman with a heart PRE-COLORED'. 😊

Julekortet er mitt DT bidrag hos Creative Fingers #283., der jeg er sponsor denne gang! Som alltid har vi et 'Lag-hva-du-vil' tema, og velkommen skal du være 💗

 

It's been a while since it last was activity here on the blog ~ i have had a lot to deal with theese past months ... family, my own and others bad health, computer troubles ... Procrastinating buying a new laptop.. The one i wanted suddenly dissappeared from the market, and when it returned it came with new specifications i didn't like. A new search for my 'dream-laptop' then. 🤔
Possibly found it, and i hope i will be more productive when i finally buy it, and to get a creative boost as well! A digital drawing surface will enable me to make more digistamps out of my doodles ~ my hands has been too achy to grip a ledpencil for a very long time.

The snowman motif on my card i have drawn myself, and made into a digital stamp. But i also scanned the watercolored image, so that it can be printed out again and again as clipart! 'Doodle snowman with a heart PRE-COLORED'
Wich is what i used to make my card for this fortnights challenge #283. at Creative Fingers ~ of wich I am also sponsoring! 😊
As always it is an 'Anything goes theme', and you are more than welcome to join with your creations ~ challenge is running for four weeks during our summer schedule. 💗...

Happy Holiday wishes from Creative Fingers! ❤️🎅🏻❤️

 

❤️  God Jul & Godt NyttÅr ❤️

 

Vi på DesignTeamet hos Creative Fingers ønsker alle en koselig julefeiring med noen av våre julekort til inspirasjon ⭐ Vi har også en kjempeflott BloggCandy som du kan finne > her < Og i denne bloggposten hos Creative Fingers takker vi alle våre flotte sponsorer gjennom 2023 ~ meg selv inkludert! Og ikke glem å delta på vår utfordring #268. som varer helt frem til 12. januar!

 

Har brukt et eldre digistempel fra Saturated Canary på julekortet mitt. Har mere enn hundre digis og gummistempler fra SC ~ Krista Leigh Smith, som man nå kan finne på Patreon. Men flere av scrappebutikkene har enda mange av gummistemplene i salg om man leter litt!
Prøver enda å bli flinkere til å bruke det jeg har hatt liggende ubrukt i årevis ~ istedenfor å gripe etter det aller siste jeg har kjøpt.. hehe, tror vi alle er litt skyldig der...

 

 

❤️ Merry Christmas & Happy New Year! ❤️

 

Today the DT's of Creative Fingers Challenge blog is wishing everyone Happy Holidays and sharing some christmascards to delight & inspire! ⭐
Did you see our fabulous Xmas BlogCandy and our Thanks sponsors blogposts over at Creative Fingers?

My card has an adorable digistamp from Saturated Canary ❤️ I have aLOT of SC stamps both in digital and rubberstamps from years ago, before Krista Leigh Smith, the artist, moved on to Patreon. You can however find her rubberstamps still in stock in some stores if you go looking!
I am still trying to be better at using my old stash before only using the new fresh from the store stuff! I think we're all guilty of that lol 😉

Alcohol inked backgrounds without the inks?

Hvor ble sommeren av? Dagene går så fort forbi! Er nå iallefall glad for at de ekstremvarme dagene er over ... forhåpentligvis! Kroppen funker rett og slett ikke når det er så varmt, og hodet klarer seg ikke så bra heller, hadde migrene før helga så er noe seint ute med kortene mine... Heldigvis har jeg en god bordvifte og et kjøleteppe som egentlig er et teppe for hunder, men er absolutt en livredder for oss også! 🫠 Det har en gele inni som aktiveres og kjøler ned - og kan brukes igjen og igjen.

Kortene er DT bidrag hos Creative Fingers #260., som denne gang er sponset av vår DT Anne Constantly-Carding! Hun selger digitale kits / ark pakker gjennom CraftsUPrint, og gir bort tre flotte digikits som premie. Jeg har brukt et av dem som heter 'Pastel Hues Alcohol Ink Background Set, nydelige ark! Printet ut med helt vanlig skriver blekkpatroner. Som alltid har vi et 'Lag-hva-du-vil' tema, og velkommen skal du være! 💗

Where did the summer go? Days has just blown by so fast! I am happy that the sweltering hot days are over though ... hopefully! I have a hard time coping when temperatures so high, not able to function at all. 🫠 Also made me have a migraine before the weekend so I'm a tad late with my cards... Luckily i got an electric fan and a coolingblanket! Well its actually a coolingblanket for dogs with a gel inside that activates by touch and goes chilly, to be reused again and again, has been a total lifesaver for me!

My cards are DT inspiration for this fortnights challenge #260. at Creative Fingers and showcases beautiful digital papers from the 'Pastel Hues Alcohol Ink Background Set.' Just think of it, beeing able to pretty up your cards with alcohol inked backgrounds, but without the inks! Designed by our sponsor Anne Constantly-Carding, who is selling beautiful digital kits & paperpacks through CraftsUPrint, and three of the kits that the DT's has showcased this time will be the prize! As always it is an 'Anything goes theme', and you are more than welcome to join with your creations 💗
