Angels and Paulo Coelho ;)

What?! Is it Monday already?! And in fact... Monday's almost over here in Norway!! Where does the time go?! It went so fast, I almost missed this week's challenge at Flutter By Wednesday's!! But, I'm posting one of my "qualified" creations. I'm making lots of creations with angels, fairies or butterflies - and since this week is an open challenge, it's easy peasy to enter!!! ;)

I know you people don't believe me when I'm telling about all the snow here. Today I've been working at school, and we've been making snowcastles, snowmen and sleighing. Wish I had some pictures to show you, we had so much fun!
But at least, I can show you some pics of a picture I've made as a Christmas present. It's size is 30x30 cm and I've made it with decoupage with a paper napkin ;)
Here are the pics:

I'm a big fan of Paulo Coelho, and added a beautiful quote to the picture. I'm no good at translations, but it says something like: " Love is watching the same mountains from different angles "

The adorable angels ;)

Just wanted to show you a picture of a candle I've decorated. I'm a little sceptical to decorate candles because of the fear of fire - but I just had to decorate with this fantastic angel rubon and some ribbon ;)

Thanks for visiting my blog - and I would love it if you leave a comment for me ;)

Non-red Christmas card

Hi there, friends!
Outside we've got about 10cm beautiful snow - and today the sun is shining and it's a fantastic winterday. It's a little cold, but perfect for playing outside. So... what am I doing inside in front of my computer?!? Well, I do have some stuff to do inside before I can take my two sons outside - and it's still a little early in the morning here in Norway. So I'll post my newest card while the porkmeat is cooking. Today I'm making hodgepodge (?)... I'm not sure if it's the right English word for it?! But it's a kind of stew with porkmeat, (knuckles in fact... hihi) potatoes, carrots, celery, onions and lots of delicious vegetables. It takes a while to cook, so I'm starting early *lol* It would be fun to know if this is typical in other countries too...?!
Well, enough about cooking - my card is made for the following challenges:

* CLP Challenge - Sketch #31 (My fav sketch challenge, I always look forward to this monthly challenge - the DT is fantastic and the sketches are always so fun to play with!!)
* Really Reasonable Ribbon's Ramblings - Winter - use blue, silver and white (plus ribbons!)
* Sir Stampalot Challenge - Christmas Traditions
* Anonyme Scrappere - Christmas Theme, but NO reds allowed

I'm also leaving this card for the great challenge they are running at Anonyme Scrappere, where we're supposed to make something cozy for Christmas ;)

Carton: Panduro Hobby

Designpapers: 3ndy Papir - Frost Merkelapper

Vintage julekort

Jeg er utrolig glad i flotte kort i alle mulige slags stiler. Og jeg MÅ bare prøve ut flotte bretteteknikker, stiler og utstyr som jeg blir inspirert av. Jeg klarer ikke helt å bestemme meg for hva jeg liker aller best - foruten å kreere ting !!! ;)
Til julekort liker jeg aller best Vintage, jeg er så glad i tradisjoner i jula. Og alt "gammelt" passer så godt inn i jula. Så nå har jeg prøvd meg på et vintage julekort. Jeg har tatt utgangspunkt i skissen på Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge - måtte snu og vende litt før jeg fikk det "rett" men... I tillegg er dette mitt bidrag til utfordringen hos Nordsalten Hobbyklubb og Vintageudfordring, der man skulle lage sin egen bakgrunn. Min bakgrunn er laget med brun halvtykk kartong, bobleplast, embossingpad og gull embossingpulver.
-----------
I love all kind of beautiful cards, all in different styles. I always have to try out fun folding tecniques, styles and stash that inspires me. I can't decide what I love the most - except from creating!! ;)
For Christmas cards, I love the Vintage style because I'm a big fan of traditions and I think "old stuff" works great for Christmas. So... I've tried to make a Vintage Christmas card based on this week's sketch from Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge. I had to turn the elements a bit to make it look "right" ;) I'm also entering the challenge at Nordsalten Hobbyklubb and Vintageudfordring, where I should make my own background. I made mine with brown carton, bubbleplastic, embossing ink and golden embossing powder. Here's the result:

Supplies

Carton: Ursus

Stamps: Papirloftet "Juleevangeliet"

Ink: Distress Ink Vintage Photo fra Ranger

Others: Flowers from Papirloftet, image from a cutout paper, handwritten text, doily, string. Gold embossing powder.

Techniques: All edges are inked and distressed. The Christmas Gospel is inked on an aquarel paper and teared and inked on the edges to look old. Machinesewing. Embossing.

Encaustic Art

Heisann!
Her kommer en kjapp bloggpost med bilde av et kort jeg har laget til Nordsalten Hobbyklubbs utfordring, der man skal lage noe med hjemmelaget bakgrunn. Jeg har prøvd meg på et CAS kort - jeg blir stadig så imponert over dere som mestrer denne teknikken ved å få korta til å se enkle ut, samtidig som de har mange nydelige detaljer. Til dette kortet har jeg brukt voksmaling fra Encaustic Art. Det er en utrolig morsom måte å lage bakgrunner på, og har et ønske om å komme meg på kurs slik at jeg kan lage bilder med denne teknikken... For de som ikke har vært borti denne teknikken før, bruker man voksmaling som man smelter med et strykejern og lager ulike former og mønstre på lakkpapir. Du kan lese mer om teknikken her. Jeg har igrunn ikke brukt noen spesiell teknikk her - bare om å gjøre å få flest mulig farger på ett ark... He he...

Til kortet har jeg brukt:

Kartong: Ursus

Annet: Klistremerker fra Nille, glitterlim, håndskrevet tekst, bånd og distanseputer bak tekst, avrundet hjørnene med kantpunch.

Teknikker: Encaustic Art voksmaling med strykejern på lakkpapir

Jepp, det var det...
Nå skal jeg hive meg rundt å legge ut neste prosjekt her ;)
Takk for at du tittet innom - og legg gjerne igjen en hilsen...

Klemmer,

Omsider en bloggpost fra meg ;)

Heisann!
Nå er det en stund siden jeg har hatt tid til å dele nye kreasjoner med dere. Ikke fordi jeg ikke har laget noe - men fordi dagene er så travle. Men nå skal jeg se å få lagt ut noen bilder til dere.
Ute har det lagt seg et hvitt, mykt teppe på rundt 20 cm. Kjempekoselig når det blir snø, da blir det lyst og flott og barna (og voksne... Thihi) kan kose seg i snøen :)
Aller først vil jeg dele et bilde med dere. Jeg fikk inspirasjon hos kreative Helle til å lage slike bilder. Jeg har planer om å lage de fleste julegavene i år, og syntes disse var så flotte. Bildene måler 20x20 cm. Jeg trålte rundt i massevis av butikker for å finne et motiv jeg likte, da jeg plutselig kom på å stikke innom en interiør butikk. Der fant jeg heeeerlige servietter fra Sagen Vintage Design, noe som passer meg perfekt ettersom jeg elsker å holde på med decoupage. I tillegg er jeg kjempeglad i engler. Vintagestilen er vel kanskje ikke helt min sterke side, men jeg må si meg fornøyd med dette bildet. 1000 takk for inspirasjonen Helle, du er super!!! (Ta en titt innom bloggen hennes, der finner du MASSE flott!!!)

Hi there!

Outside we've got a lovely white carpet, about 15-20 cm snow has come the last days. That's perfect for both children and parents! ;)
My first post is a picture I've made. I got so inspired by Helle and had to try this myself. The size of the picture is 20x20cm, and I found this fantastic motive on a papernapkin on an interiour boutique, it's from Sagen Vintage Design, and it was love at first sight *lol* Vintage is not my best side, but I have to admit that I think this picture came out quite beautiful... ;)
Thank you so much Helle, for inspiring me! (You should take a look in her blog, she's making so much beautiful!!
