Lavinia easel card


Har et staffeli konfirmasjons kort jeg helt har glemt å blogge! (og noen til, for en senere bloggpost.. ) Trenger visst litt opprydning i mappene på laptoppen min, den er så full at gjenværende plass vises i rødt ;) Dette er et nydelig stempel fra Abigail Larsson ♥ Motivene hennes kan man få kjøpt som digistempler hos Simply Betty Stamps.

Here is one easel card for a really pink and girly confirmation :) Don't you just LOVE this lovely steampunk image from Abigail Larsson? ♥ You can find her images as digistamps at Simply Betty Stamps.

While going through my folders I found a couple of cards I only took photos of and then forgot to blog.. been alot of cardmaking since summer, so it went unnoticed. My folders are screaming to get organized .. remaining space on the HD is almost glowing in red! *lol* 
 

Here is a detailed image showing the inside and back of the card when it is standing up. I made this with the best-ever-die for making easel cards ~ the stand up helpers from Elizabeth Craft! The hair and other details gets its shine from twinkeling H2O watercolors. Look also at the flower, u get great shiny effects with glossy accents! Theese are a must have in your craft stash for sure :) There is a money pocket panel on the inside, and some textstamps that I almost always use on this kind of card, they read from the bottom up: 

..For the Confirmand.. ..May all your dreams come true.. ..Today from childhood to youth you go. Do not forget that you reap what you sow..

We're All MAD here!!!

Jeg har vært gjeste designer for Sassy Studio Designs denne mnd., og dette er mitt siste GDT bidrag. SSD er sponsor for Brown Sugar Utfordrings blogg denne uken #165. ~ Bruk en Doily :) 

Har lagd nok et kort med motiv hentet fra eventyrene ~ Alice i eventyrland ♥ Denne versjonen krysser Alice med Hattemakeren, og kake og te-selskapet! Et helt fantastisk motiv fra SSD.
http://www.sassystudiodesigns.blogspot.com/
..Congratulations on your day!..

I have had the honor of beeing one of the guest designers for Sassy Studio Design this month, and this is my final contribution. SSD is sponsoring Brown Sugar Challenge for their challenge this week. #165. ~ Use A Doily :)

 ..We're All MAD here!..

That is one of my fave quotes! And book n movies! Got a cheshire cat tee with the sentiment on it ~ it fits perfectly for any crafter I think ;) We're kindof like Alice falling into the wonderful crafting world.. or the Mad Hatter in a mix & match colors n stuff .. and somewhat hoarder mentality... A crafter is a bit like the Red Queen too, in that we'll chop off anyones head that dare touch or throw out our precious stuff... And very much like the very late bunny, I never seem to be on time for anything ~ sooo many projects!!!

So.. I am still in the mood for coloring fantasy & fairytale images.. and for my GDT card I used this fabulous cross of Alice in Wonderland & the Mad Hatter, at the tea-party... in a cake!! Perfect for doilies right? :)

Sassy Bookmarks!


Jeg er gjeste-designer denne måneden for Sassy Studio Designs, siden jeg vant i August! Kjempemoro ~ fikk en flott premie også, flere flotte stempler!!! :) 
Så nå har jeg har lagd noen bokmerker som mitt GDT bidrag til SSD's September Progressive Utfordring, som foregår på facebook gruppa deres. 
Niesen min blir sikkert glad for få disse til skolebøkene hennes ♥ Jeg har sikkert et dusin bokmerker selv her og der, 'eselører' er jo ikke særlig pent!

Om man deltar i denne utfordringen for første gang, mottar man et gratis digitalt stempel man bruker, og neste mnd. får man et nytt å bruke osv. hver mnd. Om man ikke bruker stemplet, må man kjøpe mnd. stempel for å være med igjen! Her er link til reglene :) 
http://buysassystudiodesigns.blogspot.com/

..You are Super/Awesome! ♥ No.1..

I was so lucky to win last months Progressive challenge at SSD's FB group, and I have received some lovely new digis off my wishlist! I also got to be a GDT for Sassy Studio Designs this month, so I'm not participating in the Prog.ch. only doing a show & tell of the September image! 
I have a niece who just turned 11, and she will just love to get theese bookmarks I'm sure ♥

The sassy bookmark can be used two ways, either on the corner 
or slide down on the page from the top, as showed above.
Super easy to make ~ Very fun to give away
And books will be happy to not get 'dog-eared'!
