This may come as a shock...

2011-11-20T22:52:00.001+01:00

...I actually made a card!!!! :)

I've masked together two magnolia stamps. This Tilda is one of my absolute favorite christmas stamps :)

The image is coloured with copic sketch markers..

(they have been resting in their folder for a while, but now I'm back to practising!)

This is also my contribution to Copic Marker Norges 5th challenge, "På låven sitter nissen".

I'm still here :)

2011-01-09T19:29:00.004+01:00

Just wanted to show you that I'm still here ;) No cards to show you cause I'm only practising coloring with my copics at the moment :D Hope you've had a wonderful christmas and that 2011 makes all your dreams come true ;)

coloring with copics :)

2010-11-11T19:32:00.004+01:00

Hi everyone :) A while ago I decided to try out some copic sketch markers, and I want to thank Trine for all the advice she gave me regarding paper and what colors to chose <3> The card I'm showing today isn't quite finished, I just wanted to share my way of coloring with the markers :) Hope you like it :)

Merry christmas :)

2010-10-24T19:38:00.003+02:00

Magnolia stamps and panduro papers :) Colored the image with distress inks as usual, but today I ordered some copic sketch markers, and am very excited to try them out when they get here :)
Not quite sattisfied with this card, feels like something is missing, but I just couldn't figure out what ;D

let it snow...

2010-10-11T14:39:00.004+02:00

Guess what gave me the inspiration to make this card? It's SNOWING!!! This fall has been amazing in terms of temperature and weather, God knows we needed it after this years summer! If this is the end of it maybe I'll find more inpiration to make cards in the following months?

Anyway.. The papers I've used are from Panduro Hobby, the adoreable stamp is from Wild Rose Studios. I've coloured with distress inks.

i know it's a bit late...

2010-01-16T20:47:00.006+01:00

... but here's a cuple of christmas cards :) Hope yog like them :D

some new christmas cards from me ..

2009-12-07T00:25:00.008+01:00

with some of the new stamps from Magnolias new collections; so jolly and under the mistletoe..
This beauty is called "Santas little helper" and I've placed her on top of the chimney from last years Santa collection.

The scentiment stamp is from Et trykk.

The image is as always coloured with distress ink refills and a water brush :)
The snowflakes are made with a martha stewart punch, and the papers are from BG and Panduro :)

This stamp is Tilda as a christmas angel, and is also to be found in the new christmas collection..

The blue border is the dolly lace punch from Martha Stewart.. This whole card is twinkling with stickles glitter, but unfortunately it doesn't show that well in these pictures..

On this last card I've used Tilda with christmas tree, and the scentiment stamp is from Ett Trykk..
The hearts are a eksuccess punch..
I'm sorry that the pictures are a bit yellow, I didn't have the best lighting conditions this evening ;)

She is so cute this Tilda from the spring collection.. I've masked it with a stamp from last summer..

Didn't use to much decorations on this card, cause with the different patterned papers I was affraid it would look cluttered.. Think it turned out allright! :)

The image is coloured with distress ink refills as usual :)

I think this stamp is so cute, and the combination between purple and green just says "summer" to me :)

Thank you all for the lovely comments you leave here in my blog! I hope my inspiration is on it's way back now!! :)

Today I want to show you a card I made this weekend.. I love whipper snapper stamps, and I borrowed this one from a friend! Tusen takk Marina!! :)

The colours are a bit to pale here because of the blitz..

And this one is a bit to dark! *gigle* ;)

Decorated on the inside with dp and tags :)

Just wanted to share..

2009-01-26T21:49:00.004+01:00

Hi everyone..
I just wanted to share something from my life to explane why I haven't been such an active blogger/scrapper lately.. My boyfriend and best friend of almost 6 years has decided to move out, and there are alot of things that I need to take care of.. Both need to take some time to sort trough my feelings as well as figuring out the echonomic aspect..

We've been together for so long, and since I was so young, that I don't really know who I am without him, and when all my plans for the future changed so suddenly it's alot to take in.. I'm spending some time at my parents house so that I won't have to be alone, cause the thought of spending time in the appartment that we fixed up together is to much right now..

I don't want you to feel sorry for me, just wanted to explane..!

Thank you for all the lovely comments you leave for me, and I'm sorry that I havent taken the time to comment on your work lately!

Sukkersøtts 24th challenge, guest designer nr 7!

2009-01-20T22:11:00.004+01:00

Anita Thorsen is this weeks guest designer, and I really thing you should take a look in her blog.
She is amazingly talented and shares her gorgeous cards and LO's for us to get inspiered ;)
She wanted us to make our own design paper, and I chose to use Heidi Swapp masks. Love this pattern.. So summery and pretty!! I've used pink acryllic paint, and twinkeled the pattern with stickles and white sugar coating glitter..
Since the challenge was to make the papers and my pattern is a bit big I decided to not use to much embellishmets.. Just a simple ribbon and some buttons..

No card from me without a little scentiment ;) Heidi Swapp text stamps punched out with my dearly beloved word window punch..

The card wouldn't photograf that well, because I basically soaked the patterned paper with pearly Glimmer mist.. This shows the real colour, and maybe even some of the pretty shimmering effect ;)

A bit late.. but my card for Anne Kristines sketch has finally found it's way back home..

2009-01-18T03:16:00.004+01:00

Soo.. here it comes.. most of you have probably allready heard that "my" camera has been taking pictures in Finmark instead of spending precious time here with me ;) I made this for a birthday between christmas and new year :) Just love this little birdie!!!

Satin ribbon, Kaiser craft pearls, the letters are from a Fiskars alphabet stamp set, and the papers are from Making memories "rouge and mocha" 6x6 paperpad..

You are my friend.. Lean on me..

2009-01-17T16:42:00.006+01:00

Made this card last night, and finally I got "my" camera (and my boyfriend ;) home! Hehe..
This adoreable stamp is from Whipper snapper..

The image has been coloured with distress ink refills, and are highlighted with a white gel pen.

Since I got my brand new Word Window punch (Tusen takk, snuppa!!!) I found new meaning in these Heidi Swapp stamps!! :)

On the inside I've made a pocket for two tags, and I thought it would look cute to tie a bit of dotted ribbon just to "hold it them in place" :)

My new personal stamp that I got from one of my friends for christmas :)

Most of the papers I've used are from Basic Grey's bittersweet paper pad..

A tip for all you card making ladies out there is to buy their 6x6 pads, cause the patterns on those papers are smaller than on the 12x12 sheets.. This makes them perfect for cards :)

Anyway.. I want to wish you all a happy new year!!!

2008-10-26T02:06:00.000+01:00

Surprise card made after Aud's fabulous sketch :)

The surprise is a bottle of white crushed velvet flock, looks and feels like snow, so I thought that would be nice in a christmas card.. Isn't that what we all wish for?! A white christmas?! ;) *gigle*

This was a challenge to use no patterned papers.. It was haaard, and I'm not quite sattisfied with the result, but there was a time limit, soo.. This is it ;)

Sketch card, no distress on this one ;)

The night before christmas ;)

2008-10-25T23:39:00.000+02:00

2008-10-25T17:33:00.001+02:00

So.. Here's my very first cross-cross! Having so much fun creating this weekend! I've got so many stamps and so much paper that I haven't used yet :)

Cute stamp from Magnolia, The "Happy Holiday" stamp is from Inkadinkado. Papers from Panduro Hobby.

Pretty roses from Bibbis webshop, Det lille ekstra.

Inspiration...

2008-10-25T13:53:00.000+02:00

I was supposed to try to let a picture of four cups inspire me, they had bright colours like blue, green, yellow and one was black. This was haaard, cause I dont work with bright colours, just love the soft tones.. Hehe!!

Buut.. This is it.. Used the scalloped circle and the bling repeat the round shape, and the bling repeats the shiny surfes.

Snow angel :)

2008-10-25T11:40:00.001+02:00

A glittery card with the cutest Magnolia angel!! The glitter doesn't show that well in the pictures, but it sparkles all over :)

Chipboard hearts and buttons from Melissa Franses. Papers from Ladybug and Friends.

The image is painted with distress inks as usual ;)

2008-10-24T22:52:00.000+02:00

I'm participating in a contest/challenge on the Arctic Scrapbooking blog called LOST in cards.

There's 19 cards to be made, with different sketches, themes and time limits.

This one was made in one hour!! Fjuh.. really not my style, using only one hour on a card,.. The colouring of the stamped image was the worst.. My room needs a serious cleaning now.. There's paper, flowers and gluedots everywhere!!! ;) Hehe..

A christmas card..

2008-10-24T20:05:00.001+02:00

I'm a copy cat ;) Or.. Not really but...

2008-10-12T22:23:00.000+02:00

Hihi.. I've copied the lay out for this card from the talented and sweet Marte!!
The super cute stamp is from Magnolias pink collection, where you can buy stamps and at the same time give a small donation to the research on breast cancer. Good cause, and gorgeous stamps!!

Chipboard hart with pink acryllic paint and covered in a mix of white and pink sugar coating glitter from doodlebug. The paper roses I just adore, and they were bought in Bibbis shop.

The image is painted with distress inks as usual ;) Pretty, pretty pearls from Kaiser Craft.

The stamp sais "for a friend" and is from Stempelglede..

Ribbon from Papirloftet. And papers from Panduro Hobby.

On the inside I've just given the paper a thin coat of acryllic paint, and stamped this pretty stamp on top :)

Well.. the card has to more pages, but I I didn't really know how to place the card to get a decent picture.. But.. If you flip up the page that's only been covered with designpaper and a paper border there's room to write and some tags :)

Thank you so much to all of you who stop buy my blog, and most of all to you who leave me heart warming comments!!I love you all soo much, and blogging wouldn't be the same without you ;) :D

Have a wonderful sunday!!

Sukkersøtt :) Jippiii!! I won the challenge :D

2008-09-28T01:13:00.000+02:00

Made this christmas card tonight for the 9th challenge on the sukkersøtt blogg.
The gorgeous stamps are new, and I absolutely loove them!!!

The pretty, pretty snow crystals were punched and sent to me by Hanne :) I've showered them in glimmer mist and added some stickles to really make them shine ;)

I've distressed the edges, glued and sprinkled them with sugar coating glitter :)

A pink one..

2008-09-14T13:19:00.000+02:00

Another one.. :)

2008-09-13T16:37:00.001+02:00

Hii girls :)
Made this card with another cute stamp from the Magnolia fall kit. Must say that I loove the sentiment! Hope they'll have more of these to come :) Hihi.. and as you may see the picture is taken in my bathroom.. the only place that has bright enough light when the sun wont do the job ;)

The svirles were given to me by Hanne, who knew I was having trouble with my cuttlebug!! :)

The images have been coloured with distress ink (I've bought a bunch of aquarells, but had a hard time on the first try, but I havent given up yet...!!)

The heart is from bazzil, I've painted it white and sprinkled it with Doodlebug's shugar coating glitter!! (I just looove white glitter.. It makes me smiiile ;) Hihi!!!

Have a great weekend everyone!!

autumn wishes..

2008-09-12T22:09:00.001+02:00

Juhuuu!! I got the magnolia fall kit in the mail today :) This giggling girl is just soo cute!! However.. I struggled for a long time with this card!! Probably bacause I painted my image without thinking about what kind of patterned papers to use.. Soo.. the blues and purples aren't really the best match with greens, yellows ad browns.. Buuut.. this is the restult...

Hihi.. She makes me laugh!! ;) The sentiment also came in the kit!! Love it!!!

A wedding card..

2008-09-09T21:15:00.000+02:00

Made this weddingcard last night, but couldnt show it to you, cause I put stickles and glitter on alot of it, and had to wait for it to dry before I could handle it.. So here comes the pictures ;)
Unfortunately the glimmermist doesn't photograph well in the evening, in other words, glimmer mist and blitz aren't the best of friends ;)

I've painted chipboard hearts with white acryllic paint and covered them with lily white sugar coating glitter from doodlebug! My new favorite!!! The organza rose I got from Hege :)

And the silk ones were bought at a loca store. Buttons from Kort og Godt, and the lace ribbon is one that we sell where I work.. Pearls from Kaiser Craft..

Don't really know who's the producer of this stamp, but I bought it at our local craft store, Tante Thea. I thought the text was so perfect for a wedding :)

Alines card...

2008-09-05T17:45:00.000+02:00

Made this card for a darling little girl called Aline.. Absolutely love this stamp!! Got this and a bunch of other ones last week.. They we're given to me by the girls at work as a gift for my birthday in august :) Papers by MF, buttons from Kort og Godt..

Hihi.. I've tested painting with aquarell coloures the way Petra does it,I'm sure you all know who she is and have seen her amazing work.. Her way of colouring her images is just stunning, and of course I got tempted to try it :) Had a bit of a struggle with it, and didn't have any browns or coloures to use in her face, so it's only the dress and socks that have been painted with aquarells :) The wings and the letter A have some stickles on them to make them pop ;)

Til Hege..

2008-09-03T23:27:00.000+02:00

Dette innlegget er et svar på et spørsmål jeg fikk fra en som heter Hege,
jeg kommer ikke inn på bloggen din for å svare, så here goes ;)
Arkivsaken jeg bruker til mønsterarkene mine heter EMRIK og er kjøpt på IKEA..
Kostet 349,- tror jeg det var!! Bra at det finnes noen billige oppbevaringsmetoder også :)
Men husk at du må kjøpe SUMMERA hengemapper i tillegg, for de følger ikke med :)
(Hvis du går inn på IKEA og søker på navnene får du opp bilde slik at du får et mer helhetlig inntrykk :)

Another quick one for a 40 year old..

2008-08-30T20:07:00.000+02:00

My mother in law wanted me to make her a card for a friend of hers that's cellebrating her 40th birthday tonight. I've used papers from Nille, Stamp from Stempelglede..

The white silk roses was bought at a local store called Tornerose and the organza one was given to me by Hege:) The buttons are from Kort og godt and the pearls are kaiser crafts..

Lace ribbon bought at Scrapworld, and the numbers were bought at Tante Thea. I've painted them with white acryllic paint and dabbed it with ink :)
