Skissedilla #63 - blått blikk


Er ganske stolt av meg sjølv no, for dette er faktisk 3. LO på litt over ei veke. Slett ikkje verst. Har brukt skisse nr 63 hos Skissedilla. Peter Olai sine store blå øyne blir stadig vekk kommentert når han møter nye folk, så tenkte eg måtte lage en LO om desse.

Har prøvd meg på en litt meir rufsete stil enn eg vanligvis har. Ganske fornøyd med resultatet egentlig, men ser at min hang til symmetri skinner gjennom...hihihi.

Har brukt bølgepapp malt med Tim Holz crackle paint og distress ink, sammen med baksida av et mønsterark fra Kaiser scrapbook.

Hjertene er chipboard (fra skuffen min)  også mala med crackle paint:

Har ellers sydd i to av kantane med scrappers floss, brukt stiftemaskin, stempel fra Stempelglede - grunge collection, diverse knapper og perler fra Kaiser craft.

SOUS June 4th - sister and brother



Loved the clean and simple sketch this week, and even managed to resist putting more stash onto it :) Love these pictures of my two little sweeties from last november. Konstanse is so proud of her new little brother!

Have used a beautiful patterned paper from the swedish Maja design - my favourite these days. It is two sides of the same paper. All edges are torn (nail file) and then sawn on. Have also done some sewing around the edges (four rounds...).  Flowers are the Retro flower punches from EK success (small, medium, large):



Have also used lots and lots of my beloved Kaiser craft pearls:




Thank you for dropping by. Please leave a comment so I can visit you back!!

SOUS 28th of May - sketch by beggahuna - picking berries

Long time no see again - I have been crafting, but have not been around my computer very much, so have not done any posting... i am a terrible terrible blogger...

have once again joined the challenge at SOUS (I once had a new years resolution to do that every week, but so far I have not been very good - but that is kind of normal when it comes to new years resolutions though so not feeling that guilty).

Well... loved the sketch this week by Beggahua! Love the white spaces, and the multiple photo opportunities. Have once again digged deep in my library of pictures, with these cute photoes of Konstanse and her cousin picking blueberries in 2008. 

Have used papers and chipboard embellishments from Sassafrass (got them in an LRS kit ages ago - and finally found a suiting place for them). Love the little deer:

The blueberry "bush" is a cut from Storybook, cut as a border to make it longer. Title is once again Hello Kitty font Round feature - I love the simplicity of that font! the title by the way means "Small eager blueberry eaters"

SOUS MAY 7th - "Oldebesta"


Finally found the time to join you at SOUS again this week. Had to celebrate that you picked me for one of your Guest designer spots. Thank you - I am very flattered :)

In Norway we celebrate Mothers day in february, but in honour of your Mothers day I chose these cute pictures from 2007 that my husband took of my daughter Konstanse and her great grandmother. Love these pictures of them!!

Did not get a very good picture of it (because of flash problems), but hope you can get an impression. Turned the sketch around. Have used patterned paper from Papirdesign, craft cardstock from bazill in the bacground, and I have used an edge stamp from Stempelglede - grunge collection around the edges. Panels are sown on. Have also used some lace and roses from Papirloftet, edge punch from Martha Stewart, misc. flower. Font is Cricut Opposite attracts - upright feature, and branches from storybook cart. Butterfly is a Quikcutz die! Phu... that is all I think :)

Sukkersøtt #83 - gratulasjonskort


Oppgava hos Sukkersøtt denne veka var å lage et gratulasjonskort - til hvilken som helst slags anledning. Har nytta sjansen til å lage et forsinka bursdagskort til nevøen vår (3 år). Var litt inspirert av Camilla Støen Bakke sitt criss cross kort i siste Ett trykk, så måtte lage et slikt. Lenge sia sist!

Tok utgangspunkt i papirer fra Cosmo Cricket - Joyride, og gjorde faktisk alt i motsatt rekkefølge av ka eg pleier - dvs at eg malte stempeltrykka til slutt. Funka det og :) "Gratulerer"-stempelet er fra Norsk stempelblad.
Alltid søte (og her kule) Edwin er mala i distress inks; hovedsaklig med tumbled glass/broken china og weathered wood/black soot:



Ballongane som er festa i sida av stempeltrykket med en eyelet er skjært ut med cricut (George and Basic shapes) i akvarellpapir, og er også mala med distress ink:



På innsida finner vi igjen Edwin sammen med gratulasjonsstempelet til Norsk stempelblad. Edwin er her mala i motsatte farger fra forsida:



Takk for besøket :)

Sukkersøtt # 82 - O jul med din glede :)


Plutselig vart det et julekort! Har vært nok snøfall i det siste til at julestemninga kunne vore sikra, men dette kom nok meir av at eg måtte prøve nytt stempel :) den alltid sjarmerande Tilda.
Har brukt papirer fra Daisy D, mulberry roser fra Papirloftet, røde blomster fra ukjent produsent og mcgill pine punch. "God jul" er round feature fra Cricut Hello Kitty font.



Tilda er malt med distress inks, bundled sage og aged mahogany.
Takk for at du stakk innom :)

Just Magnolia - week 53


I have been wanting to join in on the just magnolia challenge for ages, and I finally found the time to make a real card again! Had a lot of fun with the lovely sketch by Bev, and made a girly card!

The lovely Tilda is coloured with distress inks - mainly victorian velvet and stormy sky. She also got som diamond stickles on her wings and her rose:



A little bird (with bling eyes...) is keeping her company. He is cut with cricut, the happily ever after cart (on of snow white's companions):



Mulberry roses from Papirloftet, leaves are cricut Doodlecharms and the lovely butterfly is from cricut - Every day paper dolls.



On the inside I have used the cute Edwin. Like on the outside all panels are sown on to the base. 
All edges are also scraped (with a nail file) and inked with distress ink.



On the backside, more of the beautiful rose paper from Papirdesign, and my own signature stamp from Sscrapmagasinet!



Thank you for looking!
