Two simple cards

Today I have two simple cards for you.

The first one was made on saturday: I was home all alone with just one sick kid, sleeeping, and I was bored. There was this challenge on an FB group and it was perfect timing for playing. The challenge was quite easy: use five circles (referring to the Olympic games which just had started) and white space on you project.

I came up with this card:

Circle stamp: Club scrap. Patterned papers on butterfly: MME. Patterned base card: SEI, Cardstock: Bazill. Twine: The Twinery. Button and butterfly punch: unknown

The next card is made to celebrate one of the board members at My Scrapbooknook, Sophia. I used the Nook July Kit and Grab Bag to create it.

Base card: Bazill. Patterned Papers, trim, flower sticker & button: MME, Journaling Sprouts & Alpha: Jilli Bean, Twine: The Twinery. Border Punch: Martha Stewart

Have you made any cards lately? Can I come over to have a look?

Bryllup/Weddings

En av utfordringene på Vår Ruset hos JP Hobby er å lage noe til ditt drømmebryllup. Nå er jeg godt gift og har tenkt å fortsette med det, men jeg tok nå utfordringen likevel.

For noen år siden lagde jeg alle invitasjoner og bordkort til en venns bryllup. Alle hadde fargelagte stempeltrykk, det tok vanvittig mye tid, og jeg tenkte aldri mer! Så denne bestemte jeg meg for å gjøre noe som var raskere og Moxie Fab World ga meg den ideen jeg trengte: doilies(kakeservietter) og blonder! Og så er all tekst skrevet på data'n. Kjapt og greit.

Papir fra SEI, blomster fra Prima og resten er herfra og derfra.


One of the challenges at the crop at JP Hobby is to make something for the wedding of your dreams. Well, I'm happily married to hubby, and plan to stay so, but I took the challenge anyway.

A few years ago I made all the invitations and table cards for a friend's wedding. Thay all had colored stamped images, and it really took time to make them. And I promised myself: never again. I was determined to make design something faster to make this time, and Moxie Fab World provided me with just the right input: Doilies and laces. I made all the writing on my computer; clean and fast.

Papers from SEI, flowers from Prima, the rest from here and there.

Favoritter/ Favourites

Serien Juliette fra SEI er bare så flott og jobbe med, kanskje særlig for meg som nesten aldri får scrappet i rosa. Jeg kommer nok til å lage flere vinterlayouter med denne serien.

Her er bilde av mine favoritter blandt juletrepynten. Layouten har base i Pencillines skisse nr 166.

The Juliette line from SEI is just awesome - I love working with it, maybe because I hardly ever get the chance to scrap with pink.

Here is my fav christmas tree ornaments. The layout is based on Pencilline's sketch #166

I bring you stick...

...you bring me hamburger. Right?








RL Scoobie is the kindest and most happy Cocker Spaniel on earth. She is dead curious, poking her nose into everything, but she also work hard when required. Cuddle her, and you have a friend for life.

Skissedilla #25

Jeg falt pladask for denne skissen: måten mønsterpapiret var kuttet på, plassering av bildene og blomstene.

I fell in love with this sketch: the way the shaped paper was cut, the placement of the pics and the flowers.

Jeg måtte prøve, og her er mitt bidrag. Blomstene er metallpynt fra Panduro, kjøpt på salg i et lettsindig øyeblikk i troen på at det helt sikkert kan brukes til noe. De passet jo perfekt til papirene fra SEI og 7gypsies.

Tekstingen er om hva 20. august betyr for meg, den datoen båndtvangen er slutt og vi kan bruke skogen på en annen måte

I had to give it a try, and her is my take. The flowers are a metal decoration, bought on sale at Panduro in a weak moment. I was right - I could use them on a layout, and I belive it matches the papers from SEI and 7Gypsies perfectly.

The journaling is about 20. August, the date it's no longer mandatory to keep the dogs in lieche, and how we the can use the woods differently.

Sopp - mushrooms

Fordelene med våte somre er at det blir så mye sopp. Jeg har aldri sett så mye kantareller på mitt hemmlige soppsted før.

The advantage of rainy summers are all the mushrooms in the autumn. I have never before seen so much chanterelles in my secret spot.

Msculine layouts

Det er ikke alltid like lett å finne papir og pynt til layouter som skal være maskuline. Ettersom jeg er innmari glad i å klippe i mønsterpapir, er løsningen for meg ofte å jakte på nøytrale papirer hvor jeg selv kan lage pynten. Papirer fra SEI.

It's often hard to find papers and embellies for masculine layouts. As I'm addicted to cutting patterned papers, the solution for me is to hunt neutral papers from which I can make the emellishment my self. Papers from SEI.

Denne layouten ble først vist i ScrapStreet magazine juni 2009

The Paper Popsicles Blog Card Challenge

In English on the bottom!




Jeg er alltid klar for en utfordring. Nå har jeg ikke laget så mye kort i det siste så da er det greit med en kick start i form av en utfordring. Paper Popsicle har startet med ukentlige kortutfordringer på blogen sin. Sjekk her!

Denne ukens utfordring:

Bruk

• 2 farger kartong -hvit og turkis

• 2 typer pynt - Tab og eyelets
• Litt bånd - oki doki

Og her er resultatet

I can hardly ever say no to a challenge. I haven't made much cards lately so it was great to get kick started by a challenge. Paperpopsicles has started up with weekly card challenges at their blog. Check it out here!

This week's challenge:

Use

• 2 different colors of cardstock -white and teal
• 1 patterned paper, can use front and back - flower and paper strip cut out from a s*e*i paper

1st Annual 2S4Y Ultimate Card Showdown

I hereby state that I am entering the 1st Annual 2 Sketches 4 You Ultimate Card Showdown :-)

2Sketches4You has this awesome card competition. You can read all about it here.

Here is my take on this weeks great sketch - you find the sketch below. TFL!

Årets styggeste?

Ideen var god, men blomstene på ranken til venstre ødela hele greia. Og uansett hva jeg har prøvd på, har jeg ikke klart å rette opp. Ja ja, noen ganger må man få lov til å mislykkes.


Layouten er laget etter en flott skisse fra Skissedilla, men altså har jeg klart å ødelegge den.




The idea was bright, but the flowers on the vertical stirpe ruined it all. And I have not managed to cover it. Well well, you are allowed to show off your non success layouts, too, aren't you?

I used a great sketch from Skissedilla, but as I said - I ruined it all.

Vill, vakker og våt

Denne sangtittelen dukket frem da jeg skulle scrappe dette bildet av eldste guttungen. Utfordringen fra Scrappehuset var som skapt til dette: "scrapp i stilen Clean & Simple, bruk transperent og chipboard".

Og stort mere clean & simple kan det vel ikke gjøres: ark og ramme (overlay) fra MME, Chipboard bokstaver fra Inqueboutique, chipboard sirkel fra gudene-vet-hvor og appelsinbutton fra American Craft.

"Wild, beautyful and wet": this Norwegian song title popped into my head as I was scrapping this picture of oldest DS. And the challenge from Scrappehuset was just perfect: Use the scrapping style Clean & Simple, use overlay and chipboard"

It can't be done more clean & simple, can it? PP and overlay frame from MME, Chipboard letters from Inqueboutique, chipboard circle from ?, orange button from American Craft.

Her skulle alt gå opp i tre: 3 bilder, 9 knapper etc
For this one, you should be able to divide everything into three: 9 buttons, 3 pics etc
