Christmas i grey and brown

Av og til er det deilig å komme unna de vanlige julefargene i grønt og rødt. Her ett kort med en liten konvelutt som var tenkt til penger, men det ble ett ekstra lite kort.


Sometimes it feels good to get away from the usual Christmas colors of red and green. Here's a card with a tiny extra envelope that was originally thought for money, but I put an extra little card in there in stead.
 

Paper: From private stash
Stamps: Waltzing Mouse border stamp, Whiff of Joy text, ???
Colors: H2O
Ribbon: From private stash
Embellishments: Søstrene Grene snowflake, charm from private stash, envelope from clothing
Techniques: Distressed edges

Here's another of the pages from dad's album that I made for his birthday. This one is i picture of me and my brother at the age of 1 and 3.

The cardstock is Bazill, the pattern paper from Nille. The red butterflies and leaf stem are cutouts from the pp and the yellow is a MS punch, so is the edge punch. Fabric flowers from Prima, letters from Webster's and Nille.

40 yrs of marriage!

My friends parents celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary and I made a card for the occation. Inspired by the ever so talented Yasmin, you can find her blog here, and the wonderful Fleur, her blog is here, I made this card. I love the way Fleur uses the Marianne design English roses, so I had to borrow some inspiration there.

One of the things I'm really happy with here is the coloring. I feel that I'm starting to get a hang of my Copics and I love the colors I used.

I made an easel card and used the lovely papers from Maja Design and xxx. Cardstock is TH Adirondack. The motiv is from Lily of the Valley and as I said, colored with Copics. The dies for the flowers and leaves is Marianne design, the swirl die is my all time favorite Doohickey from Magnolia. I used some cheesecloth behind the motiv and cut out the numbers on the Cricut with the "Plantin Schoolbook" cartridge. The label inside is made with a new Cuttlebug die cut-and-emboss set.

The text inside translates: "We don't find happiness, we create it."

Well, I might have found me a new favorite Doohickey; this set of labels that i use for my signature stamp are just adorable and so versatile.

Swirlydoos Rendevous sketch

Finally - I did it! :)
I registered for the Swirlydoos kit and I love it. I mean - what's not to love about getting a carton of goodies in the mail every month!!! 
I recieved my first kit about a week ago and haven't had all the time in the world since then, but here's my first LO, based on the September sketch.

The design papers are from BoBunny and most of the flowers are Prima. The bling swirl is Prima, the rub on text is TPC Studio, watch face is from eBay, metal trinkets are Bo Bunny and TPC Studio. The bird cage is The Girls Paperie. The lace from private stash and the letters are Making Memories. The ceramic flowers, the brown flowers and string where in the September kit, but I don't know the brand.
 

Here's the great sketch we had to play with:

The cool neighbor!

Our wonderful neighbor in Sweden just turned 80, and a fun card was at it's place. He is so funny and cool, so I had to make a card to match his spirit.

I used a quarter of a paper that I don't remember the brand of, a bit of cardboard dabbed with Adirondack Snow Cap. The dies are Marianne and Magnolia and a die cut from Cricut "Heritage" cartridge. The numbers and letters are Cricut "Plantin Schoolbook" and the flower Prima. I used an image from Kreativ Hobby, colored with Copics. 
 

The text stamp inside is also from KH and it says: 
"Remember! If you want to look 10 yrs younger, you have to turn off the light!"

Dad's album #2 - Mona

Here is another one of the pages in my dad's album, this time of my beautiful mother in 1981.

I used a Bazill cardstock and a lazer die cut that I got on eBay, can't remember the make... The ribbons are from KaiserCraft, the little frame is Kort & Godt, the flower is 2 layers of white flowers that I sprayed with Tattered Angels 'Tattered Leather' Glimmer Mist and put a Prima pebble in the middle. The letters are made of cork from Making Memories. The ticket is Tim Holtz and the Always tag is from Scrappiness. Half pearls and pin from Wild Orchid Crafts and the butterfly in pearls is Prima.

LO; My favorite street in San Francisco

I got the amazing lazer cut chipboards from Dusty Attic in the mail the other day and I had to do a LO with one of them right away. 

This picture is from my favorite street in San Francisco, not my favorite place, that'll come later in another LO, but the name of this place kind of appeals to me... :-D

I've used the great pattern paper from Bo Bunny and added a skyline die cut on Bazill cardstock made with the Plantin Schoolbook cartridge on my Cricut. The swirl chippie is a DA0219, and the hinge is a DA0509, both used as they are. I used a lot of Prima on this page; flocked rub-ons, flowers and the frame around the picture. A BoBunny locket trinket and Tim Holtz ticket and game spinner. The wood letters are from Panduro and the other letters from Webster's. Can't remember where I got the butterfly and dragonfly.
