Good morning 

It´s Wednesday and time for a new challenge over at

It took me a while, but I made it - and here is the result. I´m actually quite satisfied with it  😊

Third Week of Shabby Chic at Fashionista

This is my last post of the day - I promise :)
I´ve waited so long to show this card, as this is one of the inspirationcards for the 3rd week of
Fashionista Magnolia and More Challenge

Shabby Chic

For this challenge I made a "Magic Card".
I used one of Sherri Baldys My Besties images - remember you have to use a no-nose image for the challenges at Fashionista Magnolia and More.
I put on laces, cheesecloth, flowers, pearls, and tried to "age and wear" it a bit with some DistressInk and paint.
On the lacebow I tied a bow of twine onto a button and attached it to the lacebow.

Here´s the backside of the card:

And this is the inside. The stamped greeting is from North Star Stamps:

Exciting NEWS

This is sooo exciting!
And it´s happened so fast,  I´ve rarely had time to keep it a secret…
So today, on my birthday, I can tell you:
I´m on the
DT
at
I Love ProMarkers

FANTASTIC!

As you all may know, I do love my ProMarkers, I really like to colour with them, but always feel
there´s something I could have done better or different when I´ve finished an image - so can you imagine my joy and happiness when I was asked to join the designteam at I Love ProMarkers!
Isn´t that just the perfect birthdaygift for a ProMarker-lover!

Today is the start of the
"PINK HAIR"-Challenge
at
I Love ProMarkers
How fun is that!
I have never tried to colour pink hair before - don´t think I´ve even thought of it as a possibility
-But it worked just perfect for this little beauty - the image is one of  Sherri Baldys My Besties. This one is called Trixie Boo.
(You´ll find a colourlist further down)

Clean and simple inside, the stamps used here are from a really, really old set of clearstamps.
All markings on the box are worn away, so I can´t tell where it is from...

This purple paper is the reason of my colourchoice. I found it at Free Vintage Digital Stamps, and just had to use it! And by "use it" i mean use it immidiately :)
Notice the little bootsbrads - aren´t they cuuuute? - I love them!

Pro-Markers used to colour the image:
Skin: Ivory, Dusky Pink, Tan, Blush
Hair: Rose Pink, Blossom
Eyes: Lilac, Lavender
Lips:Blossom
T-shirt:Rose Pink, Blossom
Pants:Amethyst, Orchid

Baby or Kids Cards at My Besties

Early Monday Morning,
and time for a new challenge at
My Besties
This week we want to see
Baby or Kids Cards

My card is a bit different this time. I found a wonderful creation over at Mindys blog, and immediately wanted to try making it. A little counting and trying later the base for this babyboys-card was finished.

Making the base was actually as easy as cutting a 12x12 DP into 16 3x3 squares (I used only 15 of them), glue the squares into cones and glue them into a circle. I just glued them onto a cardstockcirckle. Easy-peasy! Then I just put on the decorations - Fun!

I used Sherri Baldys Moon Baby Boy Besties Digi, coloured with ProMarkers, and lots of Shabby Blue Embossing Enamel around.

Looking closely you´ll see that the charms are threaded up with beads in between, and attached to the bow - I think it´s cute…
On the back I used the same papers as on the front, but left out the ribbons and stash.
The stamped greeting is one of my oldest stamps, absolutely fun to "rediscover"...

I´ll enter these challenges with my Baby-card:
2 Sisters #165 - Anything Goes
Stampin´for the Weekend - Anything Goes
Penny´s Paper-Crafty Challenge #148 - Anything But Square
Kreative Verden - Alt er Lov

Divas by Design - 3 or More Layers
Scrapbook Stamp Society #22 - Anything Goes

If you visit
My Besties 
you´ll find lots of beautiful baby- and kidscards from the rest of the DT-girls

I hope you´ll find inspiration to join the challenge

Bruk Puncher at My Besties Norge

Hi Crafters!
The new challenge at
My Besties Norge 
is
Bruk Puncher
(Use Punches)
In the picture above you can see the punches I used on the front of my card

 For this challenge I wanted to make something a little different, and that "different" turned out as a pink christmascard.
Everything on the card (well, except the rhinestones) are in different pinktones, even the poinsettias - and yes, I´ve seen pink poinsettias in real!
The image on the card is from Sherri Baldy. You can find it in the Etsy Store as Img 909
Isn´t it cuuute!
It´s coloured with ProMarkers. I think I used most of the pinkshades on it. On the furry details on her clothes and hat I used a couple of brownshades (Cocoa and Tan, I think it was) in a kind of "dotty" motion, and lots of blender. Then coloured and blended lightly over again, and think I got it quite "furrylooking"(?)
Is this gatefolding? I sometimes get a little mixed up in the names of the foldingtechniques, but from the pictures I guess you can see how it´s folded, and how it works…
Between the paperlayers on the imagepanel and on the rightside foldingpanel I´ve put a little magnet, to keep the card closed.

Enough talk; Here´s the card I made to inspire you to join our Punch-Challenge:

Here´s the front folded out:

The inside(s)
The circlepanel in the middle is made using a cornerpunch from Martha Stewart
yes - it´s possible to make circles with cornerpunches :D)

I´ll join the following challenges with my pink christmascard:
Challenges 4 Everybody #31 - Anything Goes
That Craft Place - Think Pink
Addicted To Stamps #67 - Weinachten kommt in schnellen Schritten

A Little Candybox

Here´s a little candybox I made after the tutorial in the latest Ett Trykk (Issue #5).  

You´ll find a videotutorial here.

Ett Trykks octoberchallenge is also to make such a box.

I found the step-by-step-in-picture-tutorial in the magazine very easy to follow, so here´s my version of the box.

I decorated it in a christmasstyle, with red and white, gold and spices - I think it turned out quite cute :)

Here´s the back of it:

Here the box is opened - ready to fill with candies...

Thanks for stopping by

I´ll be back tomorrow

So Long

My Scraproom

Hi everyone, and welcome to my scrapplace :)

I´ve just recently moved into my new scraproom, and haven´t got everything in place, and still have a little things to organize and sort better out.

This room is much bigger than my old room was, so in here I have space enough for my kids to bring in their homework as well - and they like doing it in here, while I´m making cards or colouring.

This is my computerdesk - far too much time is spent here...

This is "my happy place", where I colour, cut and actually make my cards and LOs:

This little desk I think will be used for the sewing machine. So far I have used it most for sorting out "stash"

(The drawers in the back of the table contains mostly flowers and ribbons)

My bookshelf, where I have some of my stamps. Some in CD-covers (in the CD-boxes too) and some in ringbinders. On one of the shelves I´ve put embossingpowders, glitters, snow, flocks….

I´ll sort it and store it better some other day :s

Well, that´s tonights  little look into my space, 

another time I´ll take you into the drawers and shelves.

Thanks for stopping by, and welcome back :)
