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...

The last confirmation card...

This time I will show you this year last confirmation card.
It was made for my cousin.

I wanted to make a card who was matching
the table decoration as well as my cousins suit.

And as I had the pleasure to make the invitations and
the nameplates for the table I knew what colors to use.

Maybe not the most common color combo for a boy card:

Pink and Turquoise

Nå har jeg lyst til å vise dere årets siste konfirmasjonskort.
Det ble laget til mitt søskenbarn, som jeg også
hadde gleden av å lage innbydelser og bordkort for.

Jeg valgte selvfølgelig farger som jeg visste
ville matche både bordkort/-dekorasjon og konfirmanten selv ;)
Kanskje en litt uvanlig fargekombinasjon til et guttekort:

Rosa og turkis

I didn't find any DP suitable for this card. But suddenly I got an brilliant idea...
So I picked up my old pink dabber and painted
the embossed bricks, I love the way it turned out =)

A pocket in the midle, for the money....

Inside....
(It may look a bit "dirty", but it's only my erasing of the text =)

The back is clean and simple too...

I have entered this card into these challenges:
Cards for men #13 - "Stars"
Top Tip Tuesday #40 - "T is for..." (Tearing and Turquoise)
Pear Tree Designs #55 - "Stamp something"
CCEE - "Pink"
Crafty Emma #42 - "Anything but Square"
Sweet Stampin' - "Something old, something new" (old stamp, new embossing folder)
Crafts and me - "Stitches" real or faux
Sew many cards #58 - "Dry embossing"


Thanks for stopping by!

Confirmation card, clean and simpel =)

Here is another confirmation card for a boy.

I have made it clean and simple, but it doesn't matter I think,

 as long as I make it personal with name and date.

Her er  et annet konfirmasjonskort til en gutt i nabolaget.

 Dette går under kategorien "clean & simple",

 stilen passer ikke helt til meg, men har man ikke 

nok tid så må det bare bli slik noen ganger... *knis*  

Men så lenge det lages med navn og dato

så trøster jeg meg med at det er greit det også.

My card turned out like this....

A charm with the text "follow your heart"....

Inside....

I have entered this card into these challenges:

The Crazy Challenge #66 - "Anything goes"

Thanks for stopping by!

Maybe I see you here tomorrow?

Then it's time for another challenge at

the Pixie Cottage =)

...and I have been digging in my old stuff to make that card ;)

Jeg synes det er koselig å gi bort kort som er personlige

til disse ungdommene som feirer denne store dagen.

Inside....

A christmas card...

Finnaly I have manged to finish a christmas card. I used a finished colored image to save some time. This post is short but I hope you enjoy the card.

Endelig har jeg fått laget et julekort innimellom slagene. I dag har sønnen i huset vært hos legen. Han har hovne mandler, men ingen prøver var positive. Den ene mandelen dekker over halve svelget!! Og da overdriver jeg IKKE. =( O jul med din glede sier nå jeg.... Innlegget i dag blir kort, men jeg håper du liker kortet i allefall.

Henry the mouse is adorable, don't you agree? / Musa Henry er bare SÅ søt, er du ikke enig?

The image is colored with ProMarkers.

Some gift tags

I have made some gift tags, in the style clean and simple.
I think it's nice to use self-made gift tags on the christmas gifts.
This stamp is easy to color too =) and I'm still practising
with my ProMarkers so this image is perfect.

Isn't Henry the Mouse the cutest?

This is it for today, I promise a longer post next time *giggle*

Thanks for stopping by!
