The First Sunday in Advent 2010

Hello everybody- have a wonderful Advent - I have a feeling I'll have one - even though I'm still in winter lair!  But I've been scrapping!  I just love papercraft - scrapping and cardmaking and creative matchboxscrapping.  The first time a saw this Matchboxcalender by Tracie Hudson I just knew I had to make one - one day or two!

I've used paper from 3ndypapir - fantastic Norwegian paper.  Flowers from the drawer - metallcharmes from Unik Hobby - The Scrap Store in Hamar City!

I've painted the insidewalls! of all the 24 matchbox with white Pebeo High Viscosity Studioacryl - paper from Papirdesign on the matchboxfloor!

Hitch Fasteners from Tim Holtz - and I'm still using Archival Ink - color Sepia

Diamond Glaze from Judi Kins has been with me the whole project!

The walls are made in Bazzil - just Bazzil!  And the rubonswords are from Cosmo Cricket

Snowflakes from Spellbinders - white snowpaint from Adirondack Rangers.  I've made snowflakes in shrink plastic - enjoyable - try it!

Stamp from Kort og Godt - love their stamps!

All my flowers are beige or white - theese I've colored with Tattered Angels  Glimmer Mist Tattered Leather

The Cinnamon did I buy in Moscow, Idaho, USA last summer!

I've used Diamond Glaze on the God Jul / Marry Christmas!

Thank you for dropping by - have a wonderful Advent - and do not forget to enjoy...

Happy Birthday!

Last week i did read - Ett Trykk - a fabulous magazine for cardmakers and scrappers.  And I do scrap! 
It was a rainy day and I discovered the card article with tealight - it's written by one of Norways best cardmaker - Lena Katrine!  Lena Katrines card is wonderful!  Thank you so very much for the good description - how to make!  Yesterday a third cousine of mine had her Birthday - Congratulation! 

It's Basic Grey paper and ordinary plain cardboard.

I always ink my scrapbooing and cards with Archival Ink, Sepia Color from Ranger - I just love that one!

Here are the tealights waiting for their new home!

I use the Tim Holtz ink blending tool - it's beautiful!

This is how I do the gluing...

I love embossing!  Here is one stamp from Stempleglede and one from Stampit - I have embossed with Rangers Antiquities Frosted Crystal. 

Martha Stewart edger - love them!

The flowers from Kort & Godt are Glimmer Misted with Tattered Leather and Pink Ink from Tattered Angels.

A used a picture from Gudrun Loenneckens collection with vintagepapers on the matchbox - from Minnehjørnet.

So Happy Birthday, Ingeborg!

Here are the flowers coverd with some glitter...

Inside the card i embossed a border from the Grunge Collection made by Stempelglede - marvelous!

I used two small magnets to lock the card...

The front...

...and the back of the card - using nestabilities from Spellbinders - and "my stamp" are from Lisbets Scrapmagasinet.

Vintage Udfordring is a new challenge site from Denmark - todays challenge are about flowers - and this card has flowers and are vintage - join them!

I had a splendid week-end - and I really love this craft - thank you for looking into my blog and do not forget - enjoy...
