Unicorn Magic Tags 🦄


Lagde disse magiske enhjørning bokmerkene, eller de kan brukes til gavelapper/tags, som mitt DT bidrag hos Creative Fingers #232. Er enda ikke helt i form, hodepine også, øynene mine er ikke helt på bølgelengde med hjernen min LOL 😜 se forrige bloggpost, fått meg nye briller! Så jeg scrappet for en gangs skyld ganske enkelt og kjapt med et digikit!

Vår sponsor denne gang er vår DT Anne Constantly-Carding! Hun selger digitale kits / ark pakker gjennom CraftsUPrint, og gir bort tre flotte digikits som premie.
Som alltid har vi et 'Lag-hva-du-vil' tema, og velkommen skal du være! 😀

Made some magical Unicorn bookmarks &/or tags as my DT inspiration for this fortnights challenge #232. at Creative Fingers. They were easy and quick to do, wich I needed as my eyes still haven't adjusted fully (se previous blogpost) and been plagued with headaches as well.. REALLY hope my brain will catch on soon that I have gotten new glasses! LOL 😜

Our sponsor this time is our DT Anne Constantly-Carding! She's 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

Showing my LOVE of embossing! 😍


Jeg var desverre ikke i form til å lage noe som DT inspirasjonsbidrag i forrige uke, men tenkte jeg kan legge inn i ettertid noen kort og en tag jeg ikke har fått blogget enda fra da jeg var med på Bikubens Vårscrapp online treff! Ingen tvil her om at favoritt teknikkene mine er tørr-embossing, heat-embossing og distressinks?
👓 Har fått nye briller, og for første gang er det progressive glass, noe som ikke har vært greit å venne seg til... følt meg sjøsyk og svimmel, migrene, og gått på dørkarmer og nesten ramlet ned trappa hjemme! Denne bloggposten har tatt over ei uka å skrive for bokstavene er litt 3D innimellom...
Så dette er
en påminnelse for Creative Fingers #231.
😊 Jeg er sponsor denne gang med mine digi stempler som premie, og som alltid har vi et 'Lag-hva-du-vil' tema. Velkommen skal du være!

Unfortunately I was not able to create anything as DT inspiration for #231. at Creative Fingers last friday, having troubles with my eyes and a longlasting migraines on and off.. 👓 Got new glasses, wich now were progressive ones for the first time, and boy are they proving difficult to get used to!!! Been 'seasick', feeling naucious and dizzy, and going from moving my head to focus (instead of just shifting my eyes) has been the most straining.. It's starting to feel better now wich is such a relief! Won't miss almost falling down the stairs and stubbing my toes!!! ... and this blogpost has till now taken me more than a week to complete because the breaks from looking at the words on the screen is too much in 3D!


I will need to go back to get the glasses better fitting on my nose and over the ears, and the temple tips was tugging my hair out each time I took the glasses off, as the plastic tips was not flush with metal, hair got stuck so I had to wrap some dark colored washitape around them! .... yeah, I really wonder what the optician will say about the pretty black glitter washi when I go see them next week LOL! 😂

The challenge is still ongoing for about another week so this serves as a reminder post, adding theese retrospectively ~ and I get to show some cards and a tag I had yet to blog from the online crop event I attended last weekend of march
😊 Can u tell I LOVE to emboss? Both dry-embossing and heat-embossing are my favourite kind of technique, besides getting inky with distressinks 😍 I am sponsoring with 3x of my digistamps as prize, and as always, theme is anything goes. You are more than welcome to join with your creations 💗

the text inside of this card says;
'You have a special place in my heart' + 'Hugs'


 
I have had a longlasting migraine so no crafting for me this week unfortunately.. but feeling quite well at the moment thanks to my meds, just a bit dizzy lol 😵 Luckily still had some un-blogged cards from a cybercrop event late march! Theese are two very quick and easy to make cards, one-layered, wich is very unusual for me. Thinking I should make more like theese, for sure! 😊
They're both my DT inspiration for this fortnights challenge #230. at Creative Fingers. Our DT Angelique is sponsoring with an awesome prize. As always, theme is anything goes. You are more than welcome to join with your creations
