{lag-på-lag-kort}

This was a card that I made for Kort 'o' Mania challenge #10, but I made another one right after. I am going to send this card to my mum for Mothers Day later in February. :)

Supplies: Kaisercraft dp (I think), Prima bling swirl, EK Success punch to make flowers, brad, and some pink bling. All the edges are distressed, and sewed. :) I think the post stamp is a set from Maya Road, the image is WoJ. The text stamp is Norsk Stempelblad AS.

{Kort 'o' Mania utfordring #10}

Hos Kort 'o' Mania er utfordring #10 lagt ut og det er lag-på-lag! Bli med da vel! Her er mitt design team-bidrag. For å se de andre DT-medlemmens bidrag må du stikke innom bloggen!

Av en eller annen grunn ble selve kortet speilvendt enten i photobucket, eller på et annet vis. På kortet står det "love", men det er altså speilvendt. All pynt er også speilvendt. Men det gjør vel ingenting. Alle kanter på panelene er distresset. Ellers er det brukt MS doily lace punch, EK Success punch, blomst, perler, gull glitterlim, knapper og blonde fra Prima. Teksten er rubons fra Melissa Frances.

Detalj (bildet er ikke speilvendt...):


Til sist må jeg nevne at jeg har fått 2 awards av Linda, siste tiden. Jeg har bare ikke rukket se på dem! Beklager, vennen.
Første awarden jeg fikk var denne:

Her er reglene slik:
Man skal kopiere awarden til sin egen blogg.
Lenke til personen man fikk den fra.
Fortelle 7 interessante ting om en selv.
Velge 7 andre bloggere å sende den videre til.
Lenke til disse bloggene, og skrive i deres blogg at de har mottatt en award.

Jeg tror jeg velger å fortelle 7 (interessante, det får andre avgjøre) ting om meg selv:
1. Jeg er adoptert, kom til Norge 15 måneder gammel.
2. Jeg sover helst 8-9 timer om natten....
3. Jeg har sluttet å spise "candy" og chips i ukedagene - så får man se hvor lenge det varer.
4. Jeg er vanemenneske.
5. Kontrollfreak.
6. Ekstremt opptatt av å ha det ryddig.
7. Elsker å shoppe scrappeutstyr, men forsøker å skjerpe meg (nyttårsforsett?).

Den andre awarden jeg fikk var denne:

Og sammen med denne fikk jeg utfordringen om å liste opp 10 ting som gjør meg glad!
1. Min sønn.
2. Min mann.
3. Mat.
4. Reiser.
5. Candy og "snacks".
6. Gode venner.
7. Trening.
8. Surfing på internett.
9. Shopping.
10. Late morgener i weekenden!
Takk for de flotte awardene, Linda. Beklager at jeg ikke orker sende dem videre. Men tuuusen takk skal du ha!

{Wiff of Joy challenge #64}

I really like making these easel cards :).
Here is another one from me. This I am entering the Wiff of Joy challenge with. I used a lovely sketch from Gio.

Supplies: BG design paper, Martha Stewart punches, EK Success leaf punch, ribbon, text stamp from Norsk Stempelblad, Wiff of Joy stamp, Copics, flower punch (EK Success), and pink pearls. TFL! And have a nice evening!

{Easel card}

Tonight I have been making this card. I spent more time, than I thought I would. It was really fun, and I think it's the first time for over 1 1/2 month since I really enjoyed making a card! I used a tutorial at Wiff of Joy tutorial blog, and made a really fun easel card. After making the card I used my Ott-lite lamp to take photos, because it's no daylight at the moment ;). If you click on the photo you will se a larger image :).

Supplies: BG design paper, Kreativ Hobby text stamp, WoJ stamp, a new Martha Stewart punch around the paper punch set, word window punch, pearls, brad, Prima flowers, ink, McGill punch, and the heart embellishment is from WoJ. I used my Copics to colour in the image. TFL! Have a nice day! :) Thanks for stopping by!

{Kort 'o' Mania!}{A card}{Challenge at Scrapping the music}

Today it's official! I am one of the two new design team members at Kort 'o' Mania! Can't wait to get started! The blog has two challenges each month, so everyone gets a chance to join in! Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be creative with you! :) Pop over at Kort 'o' Mania January 30th for a new challenge! :)

Today I have also made some change on my blog appearance. I used a free web site, if you click on the link on the upper left side corner you will bee directed to the web site. I also changed from 2 to 3 columns - which is more nice, I think! :)

Yesterday I made this card for the 9th challenge at Kort 'o' Mania. I will not enter this card, since I have started my job as a DT member there. I used design paper from American Crafts, Spellbinder die, stamp from Stempelglede, a Prima swirl, some flowers and an EK Success leaf punch. I also used my sewing machine on this card, and some extra pearls. The text is embossed.

Next is my very first layout for this year! Hope to do even more layouts this year than the previous. I made this layout for the challenge bonus for January at Scrapping the music - på norsk, where you must use the colour blue. Here is my layout.

{Scrappekammeret}

Scrappekammeret har åpnet i dag! En RAK utdeles randomly til deg, hvis du stikker innom. Sjekk ut siden deres nå! Blir spennende å se hva de finner på!

{Kort 'o' Mania utfordring - vintage}

Hos Kort 'o' Mania er utfordring #8 å lage et kort, en eske eller hva man ønsker i vintage-stil. Jeg lager ikke ofte verken kort eller annet i vintage-stil. Syns det egentlig er litt vanskelig ;). Men gøy å lage dette kortet var det, etter en lang pause fra scrapperommet!
Jeg valgte å lage et kort, da det er dette jeg får mest bruk for ;). Utklipps-piken er laget for Minneriket. Jeg har skrapet alle kanter, og distresset med distress ink "vintage photo". Stempel brukt på kantene er fra Stempelglede. Ellers er det et autentisk frimerke fra Hellas som er brukt! En gammel bokside, en fjær (i min julekalender), perler, et fotohjørne i antik finish, og ticket fra TH (i min julekalender - takk Linda! :)). Har ellers brukt små roser, samt Martha Stewart doily lace punch. Ha en fin kveld! :)

{My top 10 for 2009!}

Inspired by other bloggers around who have chosen their top 10 (or even top 12) of last year, I found my top 10 layouts of 2009. Hope to do so with my cards as well, Since I have made more cards than layouts last year, I hope to do more layouts in 2010....
I got a little hooked on my home made "glimmer mists", and made a lot of my holiday layouts with them. This first one is probably one of my favourites :).

This one is without a photo of my son...:

One of the first time I used a mask:

A bit of glimmer mist and masks (letters):

One of my favorite photos, and with pink (whoooa!):

The first time I used 3ndy papir on a layout, playing around:

Used acrylic paint, bees wax, sewing machine and old book pages:


A lovely phot, and I like the feeling you get looking at this layout:

Made for STM - på norsk competition. I love this layout:

{Happy New Year}

Hi everyone! It's been quite a while since I last spent som quality time in my craft room. I am feeling a lot better now, and yesterday and today I finally finished a layout. :) The third layout I did a while back, but forgot to publish.

This first one is with a photo from kindergarden:

My son painted as a lion:

A layout with a photo from our first trip to Vietnam:

To everybody visiting my blog I wish you a happy new year, and hope to see you all in 2010. For 2010 I hope to make more layouts. Looking back at this year I see I have made a lot of cards, but not so many layouts. I hope to make more layouts this forth coming year. Also I hope to visit all my blog friends more frequently - and leave a comment or two. I thank you all for visiting my blog and leaving comments, it makes my day! You'd better believe it! It really does! Thank you so much! And thank you all for all your inspiration you give me by sharing your work! Happy 2010 everyone!

{Snow, snow, snow....}

I have not been scrapbooking today. My priorities have been to spend a lot of time with my family. Making preparations for a dinner party we are having tomorrow and late and lazy breakfasts :). Both yesterday and today we spent time outdoors in the snow. We have gotten a lot of snow here these days, and the first photo is from today snow ride :). My son fell off his toboogan and got a lot of snow on his head. I think he is cute with red cheeks and snow in his face and on his head. :)

{Happy Christmas!}

Here is my Christmas tree! Because we (still) live in an apartment, our living room does not have enough space for the tree, but we got some space in the corner, in between our sofas! I am very satisfied with the tree this year, nice green color, and with lots of branches :)

I hope you all enjoy your Christmas holiday. My holiday started yesterday and lasts until the 4th of January. Really looking forward to a lot of time with my son (my husband has to work 3 days next week though) and with family and friends. Yesterday we celebrated Christmas Eve (which is the tradition in Norway).

We have gotten a lot of snow, outside it's a lot of snow, and only -1 Celcius. I hope we can go outside to play in the snow later today!

Enjoy you holiday!

{Noen kort...}

Because of personal reasons, I have not made anything new lately, and I am not sure when I am going to make anything, but I hope that it's quite soon.. I have some things I have not published. Just to show you I am alive, but not acutally kickin' ;-D. Hope everyone is enjoying these days before Christmas, and that you all are looking forward to some days off very soon. Have a nice evening! :)

Christmas card:


All stamps are from Wiff of Joy, one of my all time favorite brands. :)

{A layout}

I made this layout for a challenge at Scrapping the music - på norsk, but I failed to finish it in time... but I do want to show you what I made. The photo is taken in my son's kindergarten, and the other little fellow was his best friend before he left this summer to start in a new kindergarten. My son really misses him, but they do stay in touch. :) I have smudged the friends face, just in case. I am not sure if his parents want to have photos of him here in the blog world!

{Some new cards!}

Even though I have not had time to update here on my blog lately, and it's been a busy week with a trip to Amsterdam last weekend and some days away with my work, I have to admit I have made some cards lately. They have been made the last 3-4 weeks, so I don't make so many these days.
The first one is made with a beautiful stamps from North Star Stamps. The frame is a Spellbinder frame. The paper is from last year, I think it's Scrappers Choice.

This card is with a stamp from Wiff of Joy, with a gnome. I think he's rather cute. The bling on the tree is something I have borrowed from another blog, I think it's Wiff of Joy challenge blog. The text is rub ons from Norsk Stempelblad as.

This card is made with an old Magnolia stamp, it's probably 2-3 years old. I think she's rather cute. The frame is a Spellbinder. The corner stamp is North Star stamp. Text stamp is from Norsk Stempelblad as.

This last card is to a friend of mine, who turned 40 years last month! I am very late with sending her the card and the present, but I hope she will forgive me... :) the stamp is from Ladybug and Friends, the text stamps are from Kreativ Hobby.
