Trampoline - SOUS chlalenge october 15th


Just a quick post today as we are going away for the weekend and I should really get ready so we can go LOL!

Have had a great time doing summer photos this week. We have had a pretty great september here, but now the autumn weather has coughtup with us, and we have even had our first snowfall for this season. Nice weather to be inside and think about summer :)

Pictures are of our daughter on the trampoline - a birthday present to both kids from their grand parents. She has had so much fun on it!

Made a little scene with Every day paper dolls. it is quite amazing all the stuff that is on it :)

Title is cut with Printing press. Have not used it in ages, but knew it would be perfect here. Love how it came out in this bouncy way. Arrow I cut by freehand.

Think that covers most of it. Have a great weekend everyone, and be sure to stop by at Stuck on U SKetches to see the other designs and visit our guest designer for the week - Jane Stirling

Christmas in october




I have made another card - this time for christmas. Have used the sketch over at sketch saturday this week - week #123. Am also joining challenge #79 at Stamptacular sunday - layer it on, and week 75 at Just Magnolia - Anything goes.


Stamp is of course from Magnolia, colored with distress inks - mainly aged mahogany and vintage photo. Patterned papers I found in my folder of scraps. I believe the text-paper is from Papirdesign, but the other one I have no idea. Have also used lace and roses from papirloftet. Heart is a punch from EK success and branch is a McGill punch.

Text stamp is from Stempelglede and pearls from Kaiser kraft. That is all I think :)

Coolest in town - SOUS october 1st

It is friday again, and time for a new challenge over at Stuck on U sketches. This week we have had a super sketch from Becky Fleck to play with. Make sure you stop by and look at all the designs and see what the other girls made!

This is my take on the sketch. I have enjoyed looking at old photos on the computer this week, and found these cute pictures of my daughter at 7 months.

Have used bazill craft cardstock as a base (one of my favourites), and misc scraps for the patternes squares. Have also used a lot of bling (brown from Kaiser craft) and stamps from the norwegian producer Stempelglede, all of them from her "grunge collection". You can see on of the borders in close up here. I really love these: 


In the upper left corner I have cut some pink stars with my cricut and the good old george cart. Added some brads in the middle for more edge:


The title are some felt stickers I found in my drawers of misc stash. Think I got them in a LRS kit once, but do not know who made them. You can see a bit of them here, together with my cross stitches, which I made in pink scrappers floss:

A few more detail pictures:

This sketch was really fun to work with, so I hope you join us at SOUS!

Nytt kort - New card


Konfirmasjonskort til jente som eg laga for et par veker sidan.

Har tatt utgangspunkt i Tilda med rose, som er måla med distress inks - hovedsaklig milled lavender, dusty concord og walnut stain.

Har ellers brukt mønsterpapir fra Panduro (det lilla) og 7 gypsies (notepapiret), blomster fra papirloftet, perler fra Kaiser craft og kant punch (doily lace) fra Martha Stewart. "Til konfirmanten"-stempelet er fra Papirdesign.

SOUS September 17th - first designer week


Welcome to my first LO as a designer for SOUS (Stuck on U Sketches). It has been kind of a scary start for me, because I have hardly ever made a double page, and I honestly did not think I could do it, but I could (I even tink I will do it again) :)

The pictures tell the story of my daughters first bike (this weeks lesson in norwegian: sykkel=bike...LOL).  The bright pinkt patterned paper is Glitz, but the other one I do not know. Title is cut from cricut Hello Kitty font!

This cute little girl is a stamp from the swedish producer Hänglar & stänglar, and I have colored her with distress inks and water (I love stamping, and that is my prefered coloring technique).

Bike is cut with Cricut and Every Day Paper Dools. Cut an extra layer of pink to make some dimension and to make it look like DDs bike. Also adjusted it to be a more girly bike and added eyelets in the wheels.

Thank you for dropping by. I hope you will join us in this weeks challenge at SOUS and visit the other designers!

New friend - SOUS 20th of august





I am finally back in the game, and this time I actually made a layout with a picture of no other than myself. Not done that before I think! As always loved the sketch you had provided at SOUS.



I have used quite bold colours. I usually use soft colors, and I am not sure if I would ever come up with this color scheme if it wasn't for the parrot... But I thought that if he could pull it off, so can I!! Actually loved how it turned out.

Have used a patterned paper from MME, and blue flowers from my stash. Bling is prima I think, but not sure. The letters are thickers 
that I got in a LRS kit once, 
and hibiscuses are cut from Cricut Storybook.
