Wedding cake card

Today I can show you a wedding cake box card I made

for my cousin and her husband last week.

Every time I make a box card of any type I wonder

why I don't do it more often.

It's easy to make and I'm usually satisfied with the result,

..... at least more often than a plain card =)

I made the bottom of the box with two die cuts like the one I used for the tag.

I'm entering this card into these challenges:

ABC - "R is for Romance"

Wild Orchid #53 - "Punch out" (I made top 3!)

Love to Create #21 - "Anything goes"

Thanks for stopping by!

I wish you all a wonderful summer!

Hugs from Anne

I can't promise to post more often at the moment,as my "kids" have summer holliday now.

And I also love to sit outside in the sunshine with a 

small embroidery or knitting this time of the year.

But as I have told you before, I will always return =)

Paper Bag Album

Finally, in the last minute, I got this Paper Bag Album ready for

my daughters 17th birthday last week =)

It's ready but not finished...

I have left some "open spaces" that she have to finish.

Like the front, I thought I should write Memories, My Friends or Sweet Moments

but as you can see, I decided to leave it blank.

I guess she figures out the right words herself ;)

I siste liten ble jeg omsider ferdig med papirpose-albumet

til datteren i huset. Hun fyllte 17 år forrige uke =)

Helt ferdig er den jo ikke, men resten får hun gjøre selv.

På coveret er det meningen at det skal stå noe med

store bokstraver. Mine venner, Minner eller hva hun selv måtte ønske..

Og inni er det selvsagt felter som må fylles inn etterhvert.

Bare spør hvis du lurer på noe! ;)

 



On the cover I have used a piece of one of her favorite jeans from the childhood 



I have added this flower onto the tag with 3D tape so it can be used as a locker.







I don't trust the double sided tape, *giggle* so I sew it together with some dental floss too =)



These 4 double pockets can contain 8 small Layouts.





Did you know I have a weakness for charms?
Here you can spot the little angel I made too...

A Christmas card

I'm behind schedule for this years Christmas cards....

But this year I have decided to
SLOW DOWN
and reduce the requirements to myself and

ENJOY
 the time before Christmas.

If I don't get ready in time I take it with a
(=   SMILE   =)

Jeg ligger etter skjema med julekortene i år...

Men siden jeg har bestemt meg for å senke skuldrene og
redusere kravene til meg selv, så betyr det ikke så mye.
De er jo bare ekstra heldige de som
får hjemmelaga julekort, tenker jeg.....  ;)

For i år skal jeg kose meg, og det har jeg gjort også!
"Mmmm, de smakte godt de kjeksene"
sa baksterkjerringa og snek fingrene under lokket
på kakeboksen for n'te gang *knis*
Jeg har nok allerede spist kvoten min.

Men nå skal du få se et kort av typen "Clean and Simple"
eller som man kan si på trøndersk  typen "fort og gæli"

I have made a clean and simple card today

using the image of the super cute Henry.

The text says "Merry Christmas", is stamped and embossed on an overhead.

On the embossed panel I have used Diamond and Frosted Lace Stickles...

From another angle...

Tag

It was so fun making a tag, so I made one more...

I'm working on a paperbag album.... so this one was

made in a minute (it felt like =) 

Hopefully I'm able to finish the album during the next week.

This time I have used a lovely Hänglar stamp.
Poor litte thing, have been laying in the box for two years.

Det var så gøy å lage en tag, så jeg laget en til med det samme...

Jeg holder på med et pose-album... og denne ble jo ferdig

på ett minutt (det føltes sånn  =)

Forhåpentligvis blir albumet ferdig i løpet av neste uke.

Denne Hänglar søtnosen har ligget i boksen i to år,
men endelig fikk den komme frem i lyset. *knis*

Here is my tag....

It's hard to see of the photo, but the mesh is purple too...

I have stamped a text on the top of the tag....

Here you can see all the sparkle on his wings...

And I made some new feelers of string.

I'm entering this tag into these challenges:

Sketchy Colors #93 - "Green, Orange and Purple"

Crafty Ribbons #6 - "Anything but a Card"

Ooh-la-la Creations #93 - "Bingo" (Pearls, Flowers, Lace)

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!!

A Christmas Card....

Finally I have created a card again.

I have challenged myself to use 3 different DP's and

to use red and green only. I haven't decided what I

think about the result yet... *giggle*
And I also tried to use Prisma colors for coloring =)

Da har jeg endelig fått laget et kort igjen. Resultatet vet jeg ikke hva

jeg skal synes om, men jeg utfordret meg selv til å bruke

 3 mønserark og bare grønt og rødt.

Ufordringen greide jeg om ikke annet *knis*
Og jeg har prøvd meg på fargelegging med Prisma colors også =)

The result looks like this.....

Isn't this Hänglar boy cute?
