OMGosh! My first Magnolia card !!

Hi peeps!
You won't believe it, would you? That I haven't got ANY Magnolia stamps before a couple of weeks ago?! Well, in fact, that's true! Too sad, in fact. I can tell at this moment, when I've got my first Tilda and colored her up. I loooooved her from the first brush stroke!! Thank you SO much Jacque!! It's her generousity that brought Tilda onto my crafting desk, since I won one of her amazing candies!! Thanks again, you're the best !!! *hugging*
I colored her up the same day I got her in my mail box - but I have been so busy with all those confirmation cards, that I haven't got the chance to finish the card. But now I have ! :)
I became a friendshipcard, I thought the image fits perfect to a friend :)
I'm now able to enter Magnolia Down Under Challenge for the very first time, using their fab sketch :)
I'm also entering the following challenges:

* Simon Says Stamp Challenge - Anything goes
* Simon Says Stamp and Show - Buttons
* Lollipop Crafts - Shabby Chic or Vintage
* Scrappekammeret - Anything goes

Here's my finished project:

My finished card :)

Gorgeous Tilda ! I know her outfit doesn't match the papers, but I thought it didn't matter, I only think that Tilda comes more "through" in the card - and she's so sweet that she deserves to be the focal point !!! ;)

You'll find joy in those small moments of everydays :) I thought the text was perfect for this image, since Tilda is having such a great time jumping in autumn leaves :)

Look, the card brings a gift! A dragonfly brooch which can be taken off...

...and the card will still look good after the gift is taken off ;) You can see the button I've sewed onto the felt flower too...

Dear friend...

LOTV card for a friend

Hello there!
I got my new Lily of the Valley stamps two days ago. I just couldn't wait to start color them up - they are FANTASTIC!! I couldn't afford more than 5 because I have to pay my Education loan this month, but I wanted to order them all! (You know, I REALLY struggled to find out which one to choose...) Guess I have to make a new order soon... *lol* I ordered a couple of stamps from the latest release, and some of the "good old ones" :) Here are some pics of the first finished card, which goes to the following challenges:

* Friday Sketchers Blog - Sketch #139 (I turned one of the squares a little, I hope it's okay...)
* Anonyme Scrappere - Bright pink and white
* Basic Grey Challenges - Flower Power
* Nord-Salten Hobbyklubb - Valentine's card with a heart (in the dp's)

My finished card - you can see that the flowers in the dp's are filled up with hearts, I think it's a fantastic detail in these gorgeous papers :) But hey, wait! NO MACHINESEWING?!?! *lol*

Isn't she the most adorable girlie you've ever seen?! This is definitly my fav LOTV stamp :)

The brad - and the ribbons my mum bought me in Germany ;)

"For you, my friend"

My homemade flower. Since I didn't have a bright pink flower, I had to make one on my own. I sprayed some paperflowers with Glimmer Mist and folded them together, let them dry and added some glitters :)

The inside - I think the dp's are so beautiful that I didn't have to decorate the inside - I've only added some glitterglue on the edges of the writing panel

Supplies

Size: 6" x 6"

Papers: Basic Grey Bittersweet - Ganache and Rocky Road

Stamps: Lily of the Valley - Rosie Posy

Coloring: Watercolorpencils

Others: Brad, roseleafes and halfpearls from Kort og Godt. Distress Ink Vintage Photo. Glitter glue.  Paperflowers. Glimmer Mist Sweet Pea from Tattered Angels.

Techniques: All papers are distressed and inked with Distress Ink

I hope you liked my card, and I would love to get some comments on it if you're here :)

Today is my day off from work, I was asked to work extra at school, but I had to say no because my three kids are all sick. But it's OK to have one day off, since I'm working this weekend too. It can sometimes be hard to combine being a mother to three small kids and working fullpart too...

Well, thanks for visiting. Wishing you a great day!

Lots of love,

Vintage card - and a present for me!! ;o)

Hi there!

At first I have to post a picture of some stuff I got from my super kind mum yesterday! My parents and some friends of  them took a trip with the Kiel ferry. When they came there, my mom discovered a shop with lots of card embellishments - and since she's the kindest mum in the World, she ran into the store and grabbed some stuff to me ;) Here's a picture of what she found:

 

There's more than 20 meters of different ribbons, doilies, stickers and some cute metal embellishments. She also got me some cellophan papers for my homemade caramels and cookies because it's so hard to find it in shops here. I think it's so generous of my mum to use her money and time to buy my a present when she's travelling - just like I was a little child *lol*

I've also got a card to share with you today. I made it to one of my mum's friend. She's always giving me stuff for my cards - buttons, laces, ribbons and more. I would give her a card as a sign on my gratitude.

I'm entering the following challenges with this card:

* CLP Challenge - Sketch # 32

* Basic Grey Challenges - Flower Power

* Vintage Udforfordring - Vintageproject in colors

* Anonyme Scrappere - Vintage with flowers and laces

Here's what I came up with ;)

Dressjakkekort til konfirmant

Nå skal kjappe meg å legge inn noen bilder av et nok et bestillingskort jeg har laget. Nå har jeg ikke så mange konfirmasjonskort igjen på bestillingslista. Merkelig nok har jeg bare fått ETT jentekort og en hel HAUG med guttekort på bestilling. Og så er det jo MYYYE enklere å lage jentekort!! Thi hi! Men jeg koser meg mye allikevel. Og nå begynte jeg å bli litt "lei" av å lage pyramidekort, og ville veldig gjerne lage noe annet gøy. Og så fant jeg jo denne heeerlige tutorialen hos superdyktige Maya hos Inkywings, og da MÅTTE jeg bare prøve meg! Det var veldig utfordrende men kjempegøy!! ;)

Jeg leverer dette kortet til Scrapping the Music Norge sin Mai-bonus, der man skulle lage konfirmasjonskort.

Her kommer noen bilder:

Her er forsiden av kortet. Jeg har brukt sort bazill til selve dressjakken. Sorte knapper.

(Jeg hadde ikke fått festet magneter til å holde sammen kortet da bildet ble tatt, derfor må du se på pekefingeren min også... hehe)

Her er selve skjorten og vesten. Vesten er laget av papir fra Basic Grey som heter Eskimo Kisses - Alpine. Knapper i lyseblått.

Nærbilde av vest og skjorte. Skjorten er laget i hvit bazill. Slipset er laget av mørkegrønt silkebånd, og slipsnåla er laget av perlenål i grønt.

Her er innsiden av kortet. Jeg har brukt det samme papiret fra Basic Grey som på vesten, bare motsatt side (det er dobbeltsidig...) Jeg har brukt Spellbinders die til å kutte ut et skrivefelt og et lite dikt. Pyntet med blader fra Kort og Godt.

Et nærbilde av diktet som er et stempel fra Kort og Godt.

Der var dagens andre post publisert. Ønsker dere en herlig kveld, og tenker dere alle er slitne etter dagens feiring ;)

Tusen takk for at du titter innom bloggen min!

Klemmer fra meg
