SOUS September 23d

Hi everyone! So sorry I am late with my post this week. It is time for a new die cut challenge at Stuck On U Sketches, and this time the shape is HEART. I had a wedding card to make - how perfect!!

This is my take on the challenge using the scalloped heart from Doodlecharms.

This is me trying to force the card to lie flat on the table

I have used papers from Basic grey and some prima flowers in addition to my heart. Have also used some pearls from Kaiser Craft and a cake doily.

The card is a tri-shutter card. Easy to make and looks great. No need for much embellishments as the card is decorative enough on its own.

Hope you will take the time to visit the SOUS-blog and hopefully join our challenge. There is still a prize up for participants in September so try it out :)

SOUS september 16th

Friday again and another sketch over at SOUS!

This week we have a gorgeous sketch by Alda Stevens at the Flying Unicorn.

I found this wonerful picture of my children. Love the look on their faces in this photo! I printet the photo in B/W on bazill canvas. Loved how that turned out!

Supplies I have used:

Petterned papers: Maja design and 7gypsies and a page from a book.

The clock is from a Bo Bunny journaling pad.

Flowers are Prima and paper roses from papirloftet and TreL and the lace is from papirloftet.

The little doily I found at my parents house, and the angel wings is from Panduro Hobby.

Title is cut three times with the cricut cart "Stamped" and layered for a "chipboard feel". i then stamped it with a text stamp from pink Paislee. the stamp in the lower right blue corner is also pink paislee.

Thanks for dropping by today. be sure to visit Stuck On U Sketches and the other designer's blogs.

It is friday and time for another SOUS die cut challenge! I have realized that summer is over this year, but am very happy to start a new season  - hopefully with lots of crafting time.  

The theme for this weeks die cut challenge is FLOWER. I have made a wall/door hanging for my daughter. She turns five the coming sunday, so this will be her card for this year.

I have used one of my favourite tilda stamps from Magnolia for this (from the fairy tale collection). She is so cute and dreamy - just like my DD :) Tilda is colored in distress inks. Papers are from inkido and Papirdesign. I have also used some stamping in the background along the sides (stamps from pink paislee). And then for my die cut flowers. I made a rosette for the top of my ribbon using my Storybook cart . Made two in different sizes and colors and layered them. The two other flowers are a die cut from Marianne design, cut on my cuttlebug. Have also cut her name with the storybook cart and the little bird is also a die from Marianne design. Other things I have used is liquid pearls, some paper roses and a cute little cake doily. Hope you like it :)

There is by the way something I forgot to mention last week. Alda Stevens at the Flying Unicorn Store have donated a give-away for us for september. We will be selecting a winner from all the participants in this month's challenges. The more you play, the more chances you have to win. Here is a picture of it, so come join for a chance to win :)

SOUS september 2nd

I am actually writing this post about 36000 feet above Paris (Love the inflight wi fi...) Having spent the weekdays in Barcelona, I am now very much looking forward to getting home to the kids. Home sweet home!!

This is what I made with the sketch Sandi has made for us this week. I have used papers from Melissa Frances, some gorgeous Prima flowers, and stamps from stempelglede and pink paislee. The die cut swirl is from Marianne design, and the tag is a doo hickey from Magnolia. Thanks for looking, and I hope u will koin the challenge :)

SOUS August 26th - a door sign for Peter - and a winner for my (one month old) give away

Happy weekend everyone. I am so sorry I am late with my SOUS blog post for this week, but here it is :) It will be a short post as my inlaws are here and I also need to prepare for my trip to Barcelona this week (mon till fri - so excited). I have also found a winner for my little give away on the blog hop in july, but you will have to wait till the end of the post for that ;)

This weeks challenged called for a project with something you see in the sky. I have wanted to make a door sign for my son's room, for a while and this was perfect for it:

Cuts I have used for this is:

Every day paper dolls: Space sip and the little aliens

Indy Art: the flame

Hello Kitty font (round) and lyrical letters for the text.

I started with painting a piece of wood with acrylic paint. I used decoupage glue to attach the patterned paper and later the letters and die cuts. Now I just need to find a good way to attach this to his door...

Now to the give away :) I wanted to include something made in Norway, so I choose this cool stamp by "Papirdesign" - great for boy cards. I also found some really cute cake doilies, and for a third little thing I picked out this cute little rub on alphabet from doodlebug design (I needed to keep this small as it will be traveling far...) First a picture:

Then a drumroll....brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr:

And the winner is the 7th comment which was from

Fern Riley

Congratulations :)

Send me a mail with your address (you have my mail address I believe) and I will send it to you!

SOUS 12. august - Playing with my new tractor

Welcome to the new die cut challenge at SOUS. Hope you stop by there to see all the new details if you did not come from there. The first challenge has the title "Play". You can use any cut from any cricut cartridge or any other die cut machine, but you need to make something that has to do with playing.

I have made a layout of my son and his toy tractor. It is a different kind of layout. Inspired by the norwegian scrapper Brit:

Cuts I have used (if I remember it correctly...):

Every Day Paper Dolls: Trees, barn, hens, pigs, tractor, sun and skies

Pooh and Friends: Fence, sign and grass.

Hope you liked my layout. Loved making it :)

PS! I am sorry but I have not yet had the time to find a winner 

for my give away... I have NOT forgotten. 

SOUS August 5th - A wedding card

First of all - thanks so much for all the wonderful comments from last week. I love blog hops. So many new acquaintances to visit (have not been around yet as I have been offline for almost a week but will visit you all during this weekend, and will draw a give away winner :)

Today on Stuck On U Sketches we have a beautiful sketch for you by our own Leah Schaeffer. I had too many things to do before I left for vacation, so I combined some tasks I needed to do and made a wedding card from this sketch:

Papers I have used are again scandinavian. The paper in the background is from the wedding collection from Papirdesign and the text on the paper is from 1 Corinthians 13 (in norwegian...). The pink paper is from swedish inkido.

Have used the combo grey and pink, with pink and grey flowers, pearls from Kaiser craft and liquid pearls in a grey tone color (do not remember which...). Have also colored my stamp from Magnolia in just Pumice stone to make a more vintage (B&W) feel to it.

On the inside I have used the backside of the text paper from the front page. I also cut out a piece with the closing phrase from the bible verse ("and now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love"). Stamp on my "greeting tag" is from pink paislee (butterfly garden). 

On the backside I have used my personal stamp for decoration :)

Hope everyone is having a great summer. I am on vacation and are knitting and reading instead of scrapping, but hope you will have time to join our challenge at SOUS, and visit the rest of the team. Especially to welcome Jane Stirling :)
