Less is More - Doodling

Hi there!
Just a quick post to show two cards that I've made for this week's challenge over at Less Is More, where you should make a one layer card with doodling ;)
I've made my cards by cutting out a heart shape by hand, spraying directly on the card with Glimmer Mist, and doodling around the heartshapes and making some frames with a black pen. And then I've added some text written on my Dymo :)
Here are the cards, hope you like them! ;)


You are fantastic

I love you



Wishing you a fab week! ;)

CLP challenge #46

Hi there!

Today I'm posting my last card as a DT member for the CLP Challenge Blog. This month we're sponsored by Cards und More.
Because I've been having lots of health trouble lately, I've decided to step down from my DT positions in both CLP Challenge blog and Sweet Pea Stampers blog. It's really sad for me to do that, but I need to give my body time to heal. Then blogging isn't the best thing to do...
At the CLP Challenge Blog, there is a DT Call going on, and it lasts until April 17th. It's a FANTASTIC team to be a part of, and I love Chelsea's sketches! I will miss them SO much! If you want to join the team, take a look here.

Here are some pics of my last card as a DT member:




Conie Fong's gorgeous image named "Bella"


Supplies:
Size: 6" x 6"
Papers: Tim Holtz' Shabby Vintage, purple carton from Ursus
Stamps: Conie Fong for Sweet Pea Stamps - Bella
Others: Flowers from I Am Roses, halfpearls and die cut from Kort og Godt, Tiny Alpha Stickers teal from Making memories, laces unknown.

* Scrappeglede i Målselv - Alt er lov


Wishing you all a happy Easter!

CLP Challenge #45

Hello!
We've already left February behind us, and March is here :) Actually, in two weeks I turn 31... ;)
Well, but on this first day of March, we're presenting a new sketch to play with on the CLP Challenge Blog. Yay, I loooove Chelsea's sketches SO much - I think I never so far had to do any flipping, rotating or other things to her sketch. Because her sketches are so delicate and inspiring!! ;)
But you're always free to do some small changes to the sketches, as long as we're still able to see that you've been using the sketch on your card :)
This month the sketch is for FUN - we don't have any sponsors so you're able to make as many projects as you want, based on the sketch. And we'll pick Top 3's when the challenge is ended :)
Here are some pics of my card:

CLP DT-card: Friendship

Hello there!
I'm really sorry I haven't posted my DT card for the CLP Sketch Challenge for February until now...
Things are even more crazy than before, we seem to have gotten "The Big Flu" into the house. Both of the boys are having high fever, headache, musclepain and aching throats. I guess there's only a question of time until our daughter and the parents are sick too, those things spreads like fire into dry grass, as we say in Norwegian.
Okay, that's enough sad things for now, I want to share the card I've made with Chelsea's sketch for February.
This month we're sponsored by Pretty Little Stamps (formal known as Gurlee Girl Stamps), and I got this fantastic image to play with. Unfortunatly my wrists are still hurting, and I had to use an image that I had colored up earlier, so you don't get to see the beautiful image - yet! But I hope I'll soon be able to color up images again... ;)

Wow! That's a lot of words!! Time for some pics!!!! Ha ha!





Supplies
Size: 6" x 6"
Stamps: CC Designs Violet with Key
Ink: Archival Ink Coffee, Distress Ink Walnut Stain
Papers: Pink and Vanilla carton from Ursus, dp's Tim Holtz Shabby Vintage cardstock, transparent paper from Daler&Rowney
Others: Stickles Crystal, ribbons from Really Reasonable Ribbons, different flowers, brown and white ribbons from Europris, silver glitter pen, Martha Stewart Doily Lace edge punch, Petite Type Square pink letters from Authentique
Techniques: Image is colored with Distress reinkers, all edges are blackened with Distress Ink Walnut Stain, machine sewing


I'm entering the following challenges with my card:
