Today I have used the sketch at CardPatterns http://cardpatterns.blogspot.com/ challenge # 43

Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer had a very shiny nose. And if you ever saw him, you would even say it glows. All of the other reindeer used to laugh and call him names. They never let poor Rudolph join in any reindeer games. Then one foggy Christmas Eve Santa came to say: "Rudolph with your nose so bright, won't you guide my sleigh tonight?" Then all the reindeer loved him as they shouted out with glee, Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, you'll go down in history!

2009-11-24T14:18:00.001-08:00

Challenge this week is BROWN and PINK or BLUE http://aspoonfullofsugarchallenge.blogspot.com/

A card with some extra .......

2009-11-23T13:29:00.000-08:00

A card with candles and something extra to keep warm =)

I have now seen a few of these made by others on Scrapping.no so this evening I tried to make one myself. There are several variations of what's in the card as where you put the tag, tea bag, cocoa - as I have added, and most include matches. - I was told never to play with matches so I did not include them in my card ;o)

at the back of the card I have added a paperbag to put a chocolate bar or some candy in.

This card is way to heavy to send as mail so guess I will give it as a little gift to a friend og to my
physiotherapist.

Good nite

Today I went a bit out of my comfort zone. I have seen so many cardmakers using the color lime lately that I wanted to give it a try my self. - And it worked perfect with my WOJ stamps from this summer collection. Sadly my HO2 brush didn't cooperate as I wanted this evening, - so must practise coloring a bit more with that brush. But all in all I'm pleased with the result !
I used the sketch from CardPatterns - to be found here : http://cardpatterns.blogspot.com/

Cupcake Challenge # 52

2009-08-10T07:01:00.000-07:00

Happy Day - and to celebrate todays challenge over att http://cupcakecraftchallenges.blogspot.com/ I had to use the Muffin/Cupcake Mouse from WOJ.
Challenge is to use the sketch and colour theme choosen by Tammy on the design team.
I do not have a puncher or a machine so unable to make an oval look good - a circle is easier to cut - so had to edit the sketch a little bit - hope that's ok ;)
Had a lot of fun on this one and here is the result :

I used:

Stamp : WOJ Mouse, Happy Birthday is cut from "How do you wrap a hug HappyBirthday" a stamp from Penny Black. Colored with Distress Ink refillers

Bazzill : 3 different shades of brown and a pale blue (over the pale blue bazzil I have a see through material in ice blue - might not bee easy to see on the photo) and white

Embellishment : ribbon - Panduro, half pearls - BasicGrey

Thank you for having a look and "A cupcake for the cupcake "

2009-07-30T13:27:00.000-07:00

Du trenger for å lage denne: iopor/filt ball,chipboard, papir,bånd - jeg har og brukt mulberry roser, perler og glitterlim. Kirsebær på toppen er en trekule malt og strødd glitter på

Kjempe gøy å lage, men tidkrevende. Jeg har satt en tag midt i kaken, men med større isopor/filtball kan man putte gavekort ala kredittkort typen ned i miten !

Bryllupskort

2009-07-13T00:06:00.000-07:00

Something Old is meant to represent the link with the bride's own family
Something New represents good luck and success and the brides hopes for a bright future in her new married life
Something Borrowed is to represent to the bride that friends and family will be there for her on the special day and in the future when help is needed.
Something Blue in ancient times is the symbol of faithfulness, purity and loyalty
