More butterflies....

Hello!

I hope you all have had a great weekend. It's late here, but my weekend have been so busy, so I haven't had time to post this card that I made on Friday.
I have a stack of the most beautiful papers, most of them with butterflies. I wanted to use them and still be able to see most of the beautiful paper, so for a lot of them I think it will be "clean and simple" cards. i will submit this card in tha challenge at 365 cards - Day 353 Just hanging around.

Wish you all a great new week :).

Julekort i februar

Hei!

Jeg prøver å være med i Hjertebodens månedlige julekort konkurranse. Morsomt at den er litt annerledes i år, med forskjellige utfordringer hver måned. Denne måneden har vi dette bingobrettet å jobbe ut fra:

Hi!
I try to participate in Hertebodens Juleblogg's monthly challenge. Below is my three cards for February. We had to use the bingo card below.
The first card is also in Winter Wonderland's challenge - A Christmas card.
Alle kortene mine denne måneden er i mine favoritt julefarger; rødt og grønt i forskjellige nyanser. For meg er det røst og grønt som er jul :). Varme herlige fager, syns jeg!
Dette første kortet har jeg med i Hjertebodens Juleblogg og Winter Wonderland's challenge - A Christmas card.
På det første kortet mitt har jeg brukt distress, hjerte, glitter og distress, blomster, tag (tag'en er på innsiden).

Det neste kortet har jeg brukt charm, blonde, distress.

På det siste kortet denne måneden har jeg brukt distress, hjerte, glitter og charm, hyssing, tag. Ser at charm'en nesten har blitt borte på bildet, men den sitter fast i hyssing sløyfa og det står "joy" på den :).


 Det er herlige fredag kveld, beste tiden i hele uka! Ha en kjempefin helg alle sammen! Her har vi hatt nydelig vårvær i flere dager, håper det holder i helga :)
It's Friday night, best time of the week! I wish everyone a great weekend! We have had a great spring weather here the last days, I hope it will last during the weekend :).
See you soon!

Butterflies and leaves

Hello!

Today I have made a card for Nichole Heady's contest for day 9 at PTI. Today's contest is butterflies and leaves. I have used two different PTI butterfly dies and one smaller punch I have. The gate in the background is made from my Cricut. Unfortunately it seems to "disappear" in the picture.

Have a great week!

Pinterest inspiration

Hi!

Today's contest at Papertrey Ink's blog was to make a card from one of PTI's designers Pinterst inspiration photo's and make a card. This is the picture I used as my inspiration today.
Here is the card I made for today's contest. I have used PTI dies for the main card and for the banner. Buttons and twine also from PTI. Think I use them for almost all of my cards :). The text on the front is a rub-on. What I just realized is that all the cards I have made for the PTI contests are pink and green!! Well, my favorite colors for cards!!





Thank you for all the nice comments, I really appreciate it :).
See u!

Pyntet bok / Decorated book

Hei!

Jeg spurte mamma om hun hadde noen gamle bøker, og fikk en gammel rosa bok med bibelhistorier fra Middelskolen 1927. Den var egentilg rosa og fin på fram og baksiden og på innsiden, så jeg fant ut at jeg ville prøve å dekorere den i samme fargene som boka allerede hadde. Først bretta jeg de midterste sidene og embossa kantene med gull. Så pynta jeg med noen bilder, bånd, blomster og sommerfugler. Synes egentlig den ble ganske så fin, jeg ;). Kan hende det blir flere slike bøker :).

I asked my mom if she had any old books I could have, and this one was an old school book from 1927 with stories from the Bible. I folded the middle pages and then embossed the edges with gold embossing powder. Then I decorated it with a couple of angels from Crafty Secrets, ribbons, flowers and butterflies.
I like how it turned out, and I think I may try to make more of them in the future.









I can see I need to put a button on the bow, something is missing there.....
With this book I will participate in the following challenges:

Vintage udfordring - #35 make something vintage in 3D
StampArtic - February challenge Do something new
Panduro Hobby - Chabby Chic

Wishing you all a great week!

Klem til deg! / Hugs to you!

Hei igjen!

Her er endelig et nytt kort jeg har laget. Da jeg klaget det visste jeg ikke helt hva jeg skulle finne på, så jeg fant en skisse på Kort o mania som jeg brukte som utgangspunkt. På Nichole Heady's blogg så jeg på mandagens video om bannere, så ble dette kortet til som skal være til mamma's bursdag.

Finally a new card to show. I didn't have any idea of what to make, so I found a sketch to work from. On Nichole Heady's blog I watched this Monday's video about banners, and it became a card for my mom's birthday. The beautiful frame is made by Cricut Fancy Frames. So many beautiful frames to chose from, love it!! Most of the papers used here I bought in Florida on my last trip, my favorite colors :).


With this card I will particpate in the following challenges:
Cards & Scrap - utfordring #25 Shabby Chic
Kort o mania - Utfordring 56 Sketch
Crafts and Me - Time to brighten up your day
Make it Monday - Challenge #51 Dimensional Sentiment Banner
Saturday Challenge - #171 Hugs & Kisses
One Stop Craft Challenge - #168 For the One I Love
Sketch Saturday - week 193
Allsorts Challenge - Week 140 Free & Easy

See you!
