Just Magnolia & Simon Says

I keep saying I should join Just Magnolia every week, but my time is just not cutting it. But this weekend I have finally made it! And as my birthday is on the 13th and this is challenge week 13 I'm hoping this will bring me luck! ;) I also combined the card with the Simon Says to paper piece. So this is my entry for the two challenges:

I have used Bazzill CS, Treehouse Memories DP (Natalie's Beauty Parlor), Martha Stewart border punch, polka tyll(?!?), flowers from stash sprayed with Glimmer Mist, Magnolia stamp colored with ProMarkers: Blush, Dusky Pink, Ivory, Sandstone, Cinnamon, Yellow, Rose Pink and Blender, Rub on from Melissa Frances.

** Dette kortet kan kjøpes på Little's Shop (fra og med tirsdag) **

Thanks for looking :)

Sketch Saturday #56 + SSS

Here is a birthday card I made using the sketch from Sketch Saturday, I'm also using this as my entry to the Simon Says Stamp challenge to make a birthday card as they are celebrating their birthday :) I flipped the sketch and this is how it turned out:


I have used Bazzill CS, Prima DP, stamp from stash colored with ProMarkers Ivory, Lemon & Meadow Green, distressed with creamy brown, Martha Stewart Doily Lace punch, Melissa Frances rubon, half "pearl" stash from Panduro.

Have a great evening and remeber to join us at Passion For ProMarkers tomorrow :)

2S4Y - Kazan's Sketch 27

I have been so busy with the launch of the Passion for ProMarkers blog and my normal life that I haven't had time to make any cards. But tonight I did manage so squeeze in some time to make a card with Kazan's lovely sketch! I just love the sketches that Kazan & Laura make, they are very inspiring and I notice I make cards in a different style then I usually do when I enter 2S4Y. I think it must be all the circles and great DT cards :p

Also at Simon Says this weeks challenge is ANIMALS, so I'll join that one to. And at Charisma Cardz the theme is dots so hopefully my circle and scalloped image will qualify! :)

3 challenges into one, wow that's not like me, but any ways here's my take on Kazan's sketch:

For this card I used bazzill bright light blue and kraft, 3ndypapir DP, a digi stamp from Dustin Pike (my first time ever using a digi stamp, woo hoo), letters are from ADORNit and the ribbon is from stash but colored with Cola Aqua ProMarker. The image is colored with ProMarkers (Vanilla, Dusky Pink, Cool Grey 1, Sandstone, Cinnamon and Cool Aqua)

Make sure you join my blog candy, the candy will grown with the amount of people joining in :)

Cupcake Craft Challenge 40 - Sketch

It's Monday again and time for another challenge from the Cupcake Craft Team, this week's challenge is a gorgeous sketch made by the talented Donna. Yesterday was also Donna's birthday so if you did not get to congratulate her yesterday, make your way to her blog and pamper her with messages and hugs! :) Since I felt last weeks card was not that great I wanted to make another male/boy card. I went threw my old papers and found some of Mom's actually (I need to get her some new once since I keep using her papers, wops) and colored (with my ProMarkers) a matching Magnolia(Edwin with cap) stamp!

Make sure you visit the other design team girls to see their gorgeous cards and creations for inspiration to this weeks challenge!

Here's the sketch:

I also want to enter this card for the Simon Says challenge, where they have a make something for the boys challenge. I really like Simon Says and love that they also have made their own challenge blog :)

I hope you all had a great weekend, for Norway it was AWESOME! Joachim & I went to his sisters for a BBQ after the parade and had a great time. We played with the kids (that's what aunt's & uncle's are for right?) and eat all day long! Stayed much longer then we intended to, so Joachim's packing was left until late midnight. But he managed to get his stuff together. Its going to be so quite here the next week when he is in Austria. Gives me more time for blogging! :)

Simon Says - Recycling Challenge

Over at the Simon Says blog there is a challenge to use something recycled. I have been saving some tin boxes from candy and thought this would be a great opportunity to decorate one of them. Since I don't know how is getting the box I have only written "to" (til in norwegian) on the top. This is my first time joining the challenge at SS.

So any suggestions to what I can fill it with???

Here's how it turned out:

Thanks for the thought about my grandmother, I appreciate them so much!
And paper crafting is helping so I'll try to keep it up to keep my mood up to!
