SOUS November 25th - sketch challenge

 It is time for a new challenge over at Stuck On U Sketches - this time with this wonderful sketch from Pagemaps.

I have had some problems with this post. As I am on vacation I had planned on using my phone to make my blogpost this week, but stupid blogwriter app just made empty posts and refused to upload my photo...I had taken a few other photos with the camera I brought with me, without photoshop I had a bit trouble cropping my photo. I finally gave up making it right - so sorry for the strange photo...

I made a simple layout out of the sketch. I love this photo, so did not want to have too much stuff going on around it (and symmetry and simplicity is me I guess LOL), but settled for the colors from his bathrobe and some bath bubbles. I have used a patterned paper from Bo Bunny. I cut a circle out of it and made a circle of liquid pearls around it. The frame around the title is  a spellbinders die, and the title is written with stickers from my stash. Buttons are also just from my store cupboard.

Glad you stopped by. Please take your time to visit us at Stuck On U Sketches, and if you are not a follower yet you are very welcome.

Hope you will have a great weekend. I am going to continue my knitting. So far this week I have made one hat and almost two pair of socks :)

Julepynt -DT TreL

Har enda litt ark igjen og har brukt litt rester og slikt til å lage litt julepynt. Fant maler i siste nummer av Magnolia Ink.

Artig å lage noko anna enn vanlige kort.

Aller først et lite julehus. Det er ca 5 cm høyt og ikkje store greiene, men feks passe

på eit juletre (her plassert på ein potteplante...)

Har brukt Bazill craft og baksida av arket Nissefar.

Taket er laga med Martha Stewart punchen Doily lace.

Døra er kutta ut med Cricut - Christmas,

og har fått julekrans av halvperler fra Papirdesign (mine nye favorittperler).

Det eine vinduet har fått blondegardin (TreL har utrulig masse fine blonder og bånd),

og på baksida er det bygd ein snømann (også fra Cricut - Gypsy wanderings).

Greina er stansa ut med ein punch fra McGill og pynta med halvperler.

Her er huset fra andre sida.

Stjerna er en brettemal fra samme bladet og er bretta av eit 12x12 ark (igjen bazill craft).

Har dekorert med arket Julekveld (begge sider).

Stempelet på framsida er frå Stempelglede og bakgrunnen er stansa ut med en spellbinders dies.

På baksida av arket har eg stansa ut engler fra arket Englebarn - enkelt og greit :)

 

Som sagt veldig morsomt å lage noko anna enn flate kort.

Har fortsatt juleting på lager klar til å legges ut, men bildene ville ikkje flytte seg over fra kameraet i går, så må prøve på nytt.

Massevis av  lekre juleark hos TreL no, så ta turen innom enten på nett eller i Storgata i Bodø :)

SOUS 11.11.11 - Sketch challenge

It is time for a new sketch challenge at Stuck On U Sketches - this time a sketch by Nanné Harry.

I really dreaded this sketch and postponed my start on it for a very long time because there were so much stuff on it, but when I started it was so easy to use.

I have used pictures of my little boy from his Christening. He is so cute in the dress my Mother in Law made. Papers are from one of my favourites - the norwegian producer Papirdesign, and I have used flowers from Prima and flowers and lace from my local craft store.

Thank you for coming by, and please visit my fellow DT-members at SOUS.

Sketch saturday #180 - bursdagskort til niese

Det er lenge sidan eg hr deltatt hos Sketch Saturday, så tenkte det var på tide igjen. Hadde et kort å lage til niesa vår, og da passer det alltid godt med ei skisse. Vart eit kjapt kort med stempel fra Stampin' Bella og papirer fra Prima, og så fekk eg endelig brukt sommerfuglpunche min fra Martha Stewart :) Den og den fine blonden er kjøpt hos TreL :)

I finally found time to participate at Sketch Saturday again. Stamp from Stampin' Bella, and papers from Prima. Butterflies are a punch from Martha Stewart.

SOUS die cut challenge - LEAF

I am so sorry I am so terribly late with my post this week. It has been a busy weekend!

It will also be a short post, because I want to get back to my papers in the basement. Lots of projects going on that will appear on my blog soon I hope :)

There are some projects that you never really like, and this was one for me. I like some elements of it (the stamped image painted and then sprayed with mist, and I like the text stamp part. I also like the leaves I have used very much (from Gypsy wanderings), but I still don't like the card. 

So no need for a big drum roll - but here is my card:

I think my papers are from Sassafrass, but am not quite sure. I love them thoug. The leaves are as mentioned earlier from Gypsy wanderings, and the die cut circle and the text frame are Spellbinders. Rhinestones are from imaginisce.

Hope you take your time to visit the SOUS blog and the other designers. There are lots of wonderful projects this week too!

SOUS October 28th

We have another sketch for you over at Stuck On U Sketches today - this week designed by Leah. 

 I have wanted to do something with these pictures for a long time, and finally!!!

I don't have much to say about it. Patterned papers are from Maja design, and the little red flowers and the pearls are from Papirdesign. I have also used a punch from Martha STewart for the edges.

The letters are some felt letters I have had for a long time 

(BTW - Julegaver =  Christmas presents)

I have once again chosen a Tilda stamp from Magnolia as embellishment for my LO.

Isn't she cute??!

Hope you will take your time to visit my fellow designers. You find them all at Stuck On U Sketches.

SOUS die cut challenge - FENCE

It is finally friday and time for a new challenge over  at Stuck On U Sketches - this week it is another die cut challenge. You can use any die cut machine and even use a store bought die cut, and this week we want to see a FENCE on your project!

I started my project intending to make a christmas card, 

but suddenly I had turned it in to a layout of my daughter... 

I have used the fence from Every Day Paper Dolls, cut it three times and layered it for a chipboard look. I used bazill bling silver cardstock and also used some copper ink and silver ink to give it some patina. Did the same thing to my lamp post which is a cut from the Christmas cartridge.

I sprayed my white cardstock with blue glimmer mist and made a journaling spot using a spellbinders die as a mask,  and some distress ink. The patterned paper is from swedish Magnolia, as is the stamped girl image. For the flowers on the left a killed a holly branch from Magnolia (the leaves just did not fit...). I have also used some randomly placed blue pearls for embellishment. 

Hope you take your time to visit my fellow designers at Stuck On U Sketches, 

and to join us in our challenge!!!
