Glitter

Endelig har jeg fått laget et kort hvor jeg har brukt et "nytt" Tilda stempel, dvs jeg har ikke brukt det får nå...Jeg sliter virkelig med å komme gjennom hele stempelbunken *knis* og til stadighet dukker det jo opp stempel som du bare MÅ ha =) Er det noen som kan si, med hånden på hjertet, at de har brukt ALLE stemplene sine? Jeg kan med hånden på hjertet si at jeg jobber med saken *knis*

This time I have used one of my "new" stamps. I really have to work a little harder to use all of my stamps. But it is so difficult! When you're nearly there... you can be sure some new stamps has found their way to your mailbox *giggle*

Kortet ble litt dystert kanskje, men med alt glitteret og bling'en så lyser det litt likevel... /

The DP is quite dark but with some glitter it's shines although...

Tilda...

My Angel

Oh my, it's wednesday again? And only 2 months left to make Christmas cards... LOL
This time I havn't made a Christmas Card, or maybe it would work for some of my angels?
But now over to the challenge at the Pixie Cottage. This week we have a guest sketcher, Penny who has made a gorgeous sketch for us! As a additional theme we have "Metal". Hope to see you over at the Pixie Cottage!

Du store min, onsdag nå igjen? Og nå er det bare to måneder igjen til jul... Denne gangen har jeg ikke laget et julekort, eller kanskje det funker som et julekort til en av mine engler?

Men, nå over til ukas utfordring hos the Pixie Cottage. Vi har fått en nydelig skisse fra vår gjest Penny! Temaet du ellers kan velg er "metall", eller du kan bruke dem begge selvfølgelig =) Håper å se deg hos the Pixie Cottage!

You rock!

Here comes a new card from me, haven't been a good blogger lately, but I think I'm back on track again =) I try to be a friend with my ProMarkers, but I still have to practise... *giggle* I think it's much more easier to use my Distress Ink, even if it takes me at least 1 hour to ink up one single image.

Endelig, her kommer et kort fra meg. Jeg har ikke vært en god blogger i det siste, men jeg håper og tror at jeg er på rett vei igjen. Nå har prøvd å bli venn med ProMarker tusjene mine, men vi er ikke god-venner enda... *knis* Det er så enkelt å ta frem Distress Ink'en og male i vei, men det tar minst en time å male ett motiv. Og med Promarker tusjene går det betydeligere raskere hvis man knekker koden da...

Here is the image Download Diva" / Her er motivet "Download Diva"

Once again I have tried to use powerful colors, I don't feel I rock *LOL* /

Atter en gang har jeg ramlet utpå glattisen med sterke farger *Ha, ha*

Finally 13!!

Thank you for being patient! I'm so glad that you found the way to my blog =) I haven't been around here for a while, but I think I'm back on track again....

Here is the card I made for my son's 13th birthday. Finally teenager!!! He loves to play football so I had to add some football elements. I was lucky to have a charm with no 9 on the back, the same number as he has on his shirt =) The text on the card says "The worlds greatest teenager boy" and the big text stamp says... *giggle* I don't know the exact word but something like "to be tough"

Det har vært stille her inne en stund, men jeg er glad du fant veien hit igjen =) Og nå tror jeg kanskje jeg er tilbake på riktig spor igjen.... Selv om jeg ikke har laget noen kort så har jeg ikke vært helt uten kreative sysler. Jeg har ferdigstillt noen gamle prosjekter på strikke- og sy-fronten, skal legge ut noe av det her i løpet av uka tenkte jeg.

Her er kortet jeg laget til sønnen min til 13årsdagen. Endelig tenåring!!! Han har alltid vært glad i å spille fotball så jeg måtte selvfølgelig ha med noen elementer fra det. Jeg hadde til og med en fotballtrøye charm som har nummeret hans på ryggen. Snakk om flaks =) *knis* Jeg som nesten ikke har charms...

The charm with his number on the back....

I made the card clean and simple inside.....

Text stamp says: "To you on your birthday"

Så det kommer nok flere slike etter hvert...

Jeg tror jeg elsker noe ved alle årstidene!

A summer card. / Et sommerkort.

Sommer, hva er det? Det ligner ikke på det vi har i midt-norge i allefall! Her er det stort sett 10 grader og regn. Men en fordel er det, om ikke flere.... sommerblomstene våre varer leeenge =) og så kan man sitte innendørs og pussle med god samvittighet!

Summer, what is that? Nothing we have seen here in the middle of Norway lately! We have 10 degrees and rain. But it's not only a drawback .... it seems like we gonna have our summer flowers for a loooong time =) and I can sit inside crafting without any bad conscience.


For å komme litt i sommermodus laget jeg et sommerlig kort, og det gjør meg glad også. Lyse delikate farger og motiver som oser av sommer.

To get into any summer mood at all I have made a summer card. I have used light colours and some motiv which reminds me of summertime.

Kan du se at disse er maskert? Jeg kunne vel spart meg for den, for den ble ganske minimal *knis* / Can you notise that I have masked this motiv? *giggle* I know, it's quite skimpy...

Isen og kantene rundt teksten har fått litt glitterlim. /
I have added some glitter glue around the sentiment and on the ice creem.

På innsiden har jeg brukt samme design som på fronten. / I have the same design inside and out.

Fra en annen vinkel.... =) / From another angle.... =)

Baksiden enkel, som de fleste gangen. / A clean and simpel backside, as usual.

Some challenges for this card:
Sketchy colors #29 - Green, blue and pink
Cutie sunday #97 - Summer
Sew many challenges #19 - Anything goes
Fun with shapes and more #59 - Distressing
Quirky crafts #30 - Summer
