Linn-tin-tin!

Min kjære venninne Linn fylte 40 år og jeg ville gi henne en virkelig personlig gave og fant ut at minialbum var det eneste riktige. Fy søren som jeg koste meg da jeg lagde dette. Digger Nature‘s Garden serien til Prima og ikke minst muligheten til å pøse på med herlig pynt og blomster! Når motivene på bildene er så fine som dette er det virkelig ingen sak å lage fine ting!

My dear friend Linn turned 40 and I wanted to give her a really personal gift. I found out that a minialbum was the perfect thing to make, and boy did I have a good time making this little beauty. I totally dig Primas Nature‘s Garden line and not to mention the chance to fill up pages with gorgous embellishments and flowers. When the pictures are as pretty as here, it‘s easy to make pretty things!

Det er tar litt vel lang tid å oppsummere hva jeg har brukt, men spør gjerne hvis det er noe dere lurer på.

It takes too much time to write down everything I used in this album, but if you have any questions about it - feel free to ask!

I‘m entering this project in the following challenges:

You're special!

Jeg var visst for sent ute til å være med i fargeutfordringen jeg hadde siktet meg inn på, men jammen var det masse andre fine utfordringer denne uken jeg kunne hive meg på.

I guess I was too late to join the photo color challenge that I aimed for, but boy were there still a lot of challenges for me to join this week.

 
Designpapirene med de herlige fargene er fra Basic Grey, og cardstock er Bazill. Jeg har brukt en embossing folder fra Cuttlebug som sammen med alle kanter er blitt svertet med Distress Weathered Wood . Jeg klarer ikke huske hvor dette nydelige stempelet kommer fra, men det er fargelagt med Copics. Nå vet jeg, med hjelp fra Jeanette: Det er fra Whiff of Joy! (Hvordan kunne jeg glemme det, jeg elsker WoJ!) Tekststempelet er fra ... ja, hvor var det igjen da.. Husker ikke det heller.. Uff - er dette hva det å bli 40 gjør med meg...?
De nydelige blomstene er hvertfall fra Wild Orchid Crafts og de bittesmå, søte knappene fra Basic Grey. 
Jeg har brukt skissen til Sketch N Stash, Challenge #57.

The patterned paper with the great colors is Basic Grey and the cardstock is Bazill. I used an embossing folder from Cuttlebug, that together with all the edges, got distressed with Distress Weathered Wood. I can't remember where this cute stamp is from, but I colored it with Copics. Would love some help here! Now I know, with Jeanette's help: It's from Whiff of Joy!! (How could I not know, I love WoJ!?) The text stamp is from ... eh... where was that again..? I can't remember that either.. Oh my, is this what turnig 40 is about?
The know the gorgous flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and the cute little buttons came from Basic Grey. 
I have used this weeks sketch from Sketch N Stash, Challenge #57 .

 

Jeg har dekorert innsiden så den matcher fronten. I decorated the inside of the card to match the front.

Colorful caring thoughts..

Jeg lagde dette kortet ferdig først, før jeg så om det passet inn i noen av ukens utfordringer, og må jo noen ganger smile litt for meg selv over oppfinnsomheten og tolkningen som kan gjøres. Denne gangen var det Creative Belli Blogs Challenge "The letter C" som krevde en liten porsjon kreativitet; her er kortet med  Card, Colorful, Care, Cast, Corner embellishment. :)

I made this card first, before I started looking around to see if it would fit into any of the challenges of this week, and I have to admit that I sometimes smile a little to myself over the bit of fantasy that can be added in interpreting the theme of some of the challenges. I love it! This time it was Creative Belli Blogs Challenge "The letter C" that needed a little bit of creativety from me; here is the card with ; Card, Colorful, Care, Cast, Corner embellishment. :)

Jeg har brukt Bazill cardstock og designpapir fra Kaisercraft "Airy Fairy". Motivet er fargelagt med Copics og er "Wee with broken leg" fra Whiff of Joy, tekststempelet og die'en er ogsen derfra. Sommerfuglpunchen er fra Martha Stewart, blomsten er en blanding av Wild Orchid Craft i midten, så Panduro og ytterst Color me Crazy. Tråden er Baker's Twine fra The Ribbon Girl, og hjørne embellishmentet er fra Wild Orchid Craft. 

I used Bazill cardstock and patterned paper from Kaisercraft "Airy Fairy". The stamp is colored with Copics and is "Wee with broken leg" from Whiff of Joy, the text and the die are from Whiff of Joy, too.  The butterfly punch is Martha Stewart, the flower a mix of Wild Orchid Crafts, Panduro and Color me Crazy. The thread is Baker's Twine from The Ribbon Girl and the Corner embellishment from Wild Orchid Crafts.

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:

All That....

Etter en fantastisk deilig helg med feiring av min 40 års dag fra fredag til søndag, var det på tide å sette seg ved scrappebordet igjen.
Jeg fant ut at det var på tide å finne frem H2O fargene igjen, lenge siden jeg har brukt de nå, og endelig få fargelagt denne råtøffe jenta av Kenny Kiernan fra Whimsy Stamps "All That". Jeg har brukt Bazill cardstock og designpapir fra Inkido. Den nydelige runde dies'en er fra Marianne design CreaTables og motivet er kuttet ut med Spellbinders. Tekststempelet er også Whimsy Stamps, det ser ut som om jeg har fått dilla på billetter om dagen... :)
Blomstene er fra Panduro, knappene er arvet og båndet kjøpte jeg på Scraporama i fjor, men husker ikke hvor...
Jeg har dekorert innsiden til å matche kortet.


After a fabulous weekend with the celebration of my 40th birthday from Friday to Sunday, I thought it was about time to get back into scrapping mode.
I wanted to take out my H20's again, it's been way to long since I last used them, and finally color this cool chick by Kenny Kiernan from Whimsy Stamps called "All That".
I used Bazill cardstock and the patterned paper is from Inkido. The beautiful circular dies is from Marianne design CreaTables and the image is cut out with Spellbinders. The text stamp is also Whimsy Stamps, it looks like I'm hooked on tickets now a days... :)
The flowers are from Panduro, the buttons are old and the ribbon I got at Scraporama last year, I just don't remember from where....
I decorated the inside to match the card.

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:

Friday Sketchers - Sketch #145

Stars and hugs

Det er virkelig ikke lett å ligge unna nettbutikker når det finnes så utrolig mange fine blogger, fulle av fantastiske kreasjoner, ideer og fristelser, men jeg klarer meg enn så lenge! Kun 47 kort igjen å lage... :)

It's really not easy to stay away from webshops when there are so many incredible blogs, ful of amazing creations, ideas and temptations, men I'm doing good so far!
Only 47 more cards to make... :)

Dette kortet kom frem etter å ha brukt helgen til å øve på Copic tusjer med Make it Craftys supre videotutorials på repeat. De kan anbefales, Zoe er ufattelig dyktig!
Her har jeg brukt Bazill cardstock, Basic Grey designpapir sammen med Kaiser scrapbook. Stempelet er nydelige Tilda fra Magnolia, som sagt fargelagt med Copics og tekststempelet er Whimsy Stamps. Stjernestempel fra Inkido. Swirl dies er Flourish fra QK, firkant dies er Spellbinders og sirkel dies er QK Nesties. Sketchen er CLP Challenge #34.

This card is the result of first using the weekend to practise using my Copic markers while watching Make it Crafty's amazing video tutorials over and over. I highly recommend them, Zoe is just incredibly skilful!
Here I've used Bazill cardstock, Basic Grey design paper toghether with a paper from Kaiser scrapbook. The stamp is beautiful Tilda from Magnolia, colored with Copics and the text stamp is from Whimsy Stamps.

Pink, pink, pink

Jeg er veldig glad i rosa, men synes noen ganger at de rosa kortene jeg lager kan bli litt vel "jentete". Det synes jeg ikke dette kortet ble, jeg synes faktisk det ble ganske tøft, enda så rosa det er. Jeg digger denne mosaikk bakgrunnen, det er en av mine favoritter.
Jeg lærte den her på StampARTic sin side for ett år siden og har brukt den mange ganger. Resultatet blir like imponerende hver gang, for det så enkelt, men likevel så stilig.
Her har jeg brukt Basic Grey designpapir, Cardstock er The Paper Company Double Sided Mulberry og Bazill. Stempelet er ett av de nye herlige Tildastemplene fra Magnolia, fargelagt med Copics. Tekststempelet er fra Whiff of Joy. Dies er Spellbinders og bånd fra Bikuben. Alle kanter er svertet med Distress Black Soot.

I really love pink, but I find that the cards I make in pink tend to get to "girly". I actually don't think this card did, I think it turbed out pretty cool, even though it is really pink!
I dig this mosaic background, it's one of my favourites!
I learned it here at StampARTics site a year ago and have used it many times since. It's so impressive every time, because it's so elegant in it's simplicity.
Here I've used Basic Grey design paper, cardstock is The Paper Company Double Sided Mulberry and Bazill. The stamp is one of the new Tildas from Magnolia, colored with Copics. The text stamp is Whiff of Joy. The dies are Spellbinders and the ribbon from Bikuben. All the edges are Distressed with Black Soot.
