Magnolia Wedding Gift

Finally, I found some space to share the project I made for my niece Therese and her husband Mats who got married June 25th. It was the most romantic wedding I've ever been to, and I was SO proud to be Maid of Honor :) And my 8 year old daughter Martine was the ring bearer - she was amazing too!! :) If you want to see some pictures of the beautiful girlies, you can see them here I was so lucky to be asked if I could make the Wedding invitations, menu cards and the tablecards- It was so much fun having such a big job for the wedding. I was really honored :) I think I should be back with some pics of that project too, when I find some more free space ;)
Well, here comes some pics of the wedding gift project I made for the happy couple. Red and white were their wedding colors, so I tried to stick to those colors. I also want to thank Randi T for sharing a fab tutorial on the box!! :)
My project goes to the following challenges:

* Kort O Mania - Anything Goes 
* Allsorts Challenge Blog - Free and Easy
* Sir Stampalot Challenge - Anything Goes
* Just Magnolia - Anything Goes

Sweet ones ;) The bride is redhaired and the groom is adopted from the Fillipines, so I tried to color them up a little like themselves ;)

The roses - the big red one is altered from an old hair embellishment :)

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...

Hello peeps! :)

Sunday we were celebrating Mothers Day here in Norway. We were visiting my husband's family this weekend and had a great time. You probably won't believe that we got almost 50cm snow during the last days - seems like springtime is faaaaaar away... *lol*

Next month I'm going to me first Scrapevent and taking my first Scrap Class. I'm SO looking forward to it!

The event is named Scrapp med Hjertet, and is arranged in Tromsø. The earnings are given to Kreftforeningen, who's a society that works for patients and families who's been affected by Cancer in some way or an other.

This week the girls have made a challenge for us - make a card for mum! And I did! I gave it to her on Friday since we couldn't visit her on Mother's Day on Sunday. And she liked it! ;) I know I've just made a card with this stamp, but this is my definitly favorite stamp by the moment... :)

The card is made for the following challenges:

* Scrapp med hjertet - Mother's day card

* Lili of the Valley Thursday Challenge - Sketch

* RRR Challenge - Red, pink and white (But unfortunaltely I was too late to post my card...)

* Flutter By Wednesday's - At least 3 hearts plus butterfly, fairy or angel

* Lollipop Crafts - Use your favorite coloring medium (mine is watercolorpencils!)

* Paperplay Challenges - Hearts and flowers but not Valentine

My finished card
