Color combination

Hello!

Today I have a card for Day 4 in the contest over at Nicole Heady's Papertrey Ink blog.
For this card I used Melissa Phillips color combo
For my card today I have used several of Papertrey Ink's dies and stams. The buttons is also from PTI. They have the most beautiful stamp set and dies, I love them!


Thank you for stopping by. Wishing all of you a great rest of the evening! Night time here!
See you!

Papertrey Freebie

Hi!

Today I have made a project with the freebie from Papertrey Ink. I used the birthday image from Dawn McVey. The cute little frog is also from PTI and the text I have used inside.
The pink paper is also PTI, the flower paper was something I had in a stack... seems like all my cards are pink and green....my favorite colors on cards!
I will participate with this card in the Papertrey Ink's 5th anniversary challenge.


Wishing you all a great day!

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!

Jul i januar....

Hei!

Da var det tid for å vise frem tre julekort/andre julerelaterte ting som jeg har sendt til Hjertebodens juleblogg. Månedens utfordring var å ikke lage firkanta kort. Den første her er en julestrømpe som er en lomme under toppen, slik at den passer til et gavekort eller til å putte penger i.
Denne har jeg også valgt å sende til Winter Wonderland med utfordringen Let's Go Shopping.

Time to show my Christmas Card for January for the challenge Hjertebodens juleblogg. This month challenge was no square cards. The first card is a Christmas stocking and under the top it is a pocket with room for a gift card or money. I have also submitted this to the challenge Lets Go Shopping at Winter Wonderland


The next card I cut from my Cricut machine. Actually I thought it was a heart, but as you can see it was not a heart when I folded it. Here I have used one of my 3D motive again, I have SO many of them!! This one was pre-cut, which I like! Most of the 3D motives I have are not pre-cut, and of course very detailed...Anyway, here is the second card



And now I just realized I forgot the little bling in the middle og the flower....I have to put in on later. There will not be a new picture! LOL.
So, to my third creation, which is not a card, but something I made to use as a place card, with a little chocolate in it, I love chocolate!!
I have use my Circut machine (Elegant Edges)  for the frame dies, and the letter I have used one of the cartridges that was pre-installed in my Cricut Expresssion 2 machine when I bought it. I love those letters! The frame I had trouble with cutting all the very small lines, I don't know why...

Thank you for all the nice comments on my cards :). I appreciate it a lot!

Let your dreams take flight.....

Hei igjen!
Da er jeg tilbake med det siste kortet i forrige ukes utfordring på 365 cards. Det var akkurat så jeg rakk det! Burde selvfølgelig ha begynt tidligere. Dette hadde jeg ingen idè om hvordan skulle bli, så det ble et kort som ble til underveis i dag.

Hello!
Thank you for all the nice comments left on my previous posts. I really appreciate it a lot :).
I am back with the last card I have made for the challenge in 365 cards. As I said yesterday, I had no idea what this card would be like, I just had the paisley paper and the girl I had colored with my copic markers.
I will patricipate in the following challenges with this card:
365 cards - Day 313 Pretty Pairs Paisley and Yellow
wild orchid challenge - week 40 Anything Goes


That's all I had for now, will try to be back soon with my January Christmas cards :)
See you soon!

Nye kort....

Hei igjen!

Da har jeg laget noen flere kort til konkurransen i 365 Cards utfordringene. Det ble veldig hektisk...men jeg tror jeg skal komme i mål. Mangler nå ett kort, som jeg må lage i morgen tidlig. Har funnet fram papir og motiv, men har faktisk, for første gang av disse 7 kortene jeg skulle lage, ingen idè om hvordan det skal se ut.. Jaja, vi får se hvilke idèer som kommer i løpet av kvelden/natta/morgentimene :).

I have made some more cards for the challenge in 365 Cards. It has been kind of stressful to make so many cards in so short time, but I think I will make it. I have one last card to make, which I will do tomorrow morning. I have found the paper and an image I have colored with my copics that I want to use, but I have no idea how I want the cards to be....
All the others I have had an idea of how I want it to look as soon as I have seen the challenge. Well, we'll see if I get any ideas during the night/morning...

Here is the first card. The red color is not really "me", so it was difficult. I am not proud of this card, in my head it would have looked so much better in baby pink or baby blue :).
With this card I will participate in the following challenges:
picturea nd scrap - utfordring #23 Baby
365 cards - Day 310 - Pretty Pairs Gingham Pattern and Red




Next card is an envelope card. It's a little different from all the "normal" square I make most of.
For the inside I have made a card to write a message. It's also possible to put money or giftcard in the envelope. With this card I will participate in the challenge 365 cards - Day 311 - Pretty Pairs Damask and Pink. The damask pattern can be difficult to see on the front of the envelope, but you can see it better on the back side.



Next is my last card for today. I have used a lady in 3D. I have so many of 3D women, I have made a few, and I have more to come of them! It's a lot of very tiny cutting to make for them, so I am happy when it's done. When I buy 3D motivs now, I only buy those who are pre-cut ;)
With this card I will patricipate in the following challenges:




That's all I had so far, see you again tomorrow with my last card in the competition!
Have a great new week!
