Hello again all crafters.
I’m back with todays 2.nd post.

The theme for this challenge is also
Jul/ Nyttår!/ Feiring
(Christmas/ New Year!/ Celebration)
This challenge will last for 4 weeks,
so enter your christmas or new years project and have fun.

I have made a giftwrapping for this challenge too.
I have used it for a pair of mittens, but of course you can put anything you like in the giftbag inside.
I have used Sherri Baldys beautiful image IMG440, on the giftbag.

You can find this one and all of Sherri Baldys images in her shops
Sherri’s Etsy Store

The giftbag is made of Bazzill cardstock, DPs are from MajaDesign.
To decorate it I used several dies (Magnolia DooHickeys, KaBoks, Wid Rose Studio, Memory Box) and laces. I inked all papers and cardstockedges with DistressInk WalnutStain. I also put on lots of siny, white halfpearls. The image is coloured with ProMarkers.
And here it is, the giftbag with the mittens:

Jul, Nyttår/ Feiring @ Storyteller

Good Morning all Crafty Friends and Followers.
Sunday, 2. sunday of advent, and it’s starting to look a little like christmas around here - but still I have lots to do; cleaning, baking, wrapping, decorating… But most of those things are just nice things to do - even the cleaning before christmas is SO much cozier to do than it is the rest of the year!

Today I have 2 blogposts coming. This first one is for the new challenge over at
Storyteller

This challenge will last for 4 weeks, so you’ll have lots of time to join in.
The theme for the challenge is
Jul, Nyttår/ Feiring
(Christmas, New Year/ Celebration)

For this challenge I’ve made the wrapping for a box of chocolate. The chocolates are called Mokkabønner, and are coffeeflavoured, coffeebeanshaped little chocolates - REALLY GOOD!

To make the wrapping I’ve used:

Cardstock: Bazzill

DPs: Imaginisce

Dies: Spellbinders

Stamps: Storyteller

Ribbon: Storyteller

Pins: 2 from Making Memories, 1 homemade

All paper- and cardstockedges are inked with DistressInk WalnutStain

Travel @ I ❤️ ProMarkers

Hello and Good Morning to you all.
Busy days this week to, but now it’s most christmaspreparations.

I’ve used my image from Dr.Digi to make a card for a boy - perfect image for a boys card, don’t you agree?
DPs are from an old Making Menories pad called «Just Chillin’».
I inked paper- and cardstockedges. To decorate the catrd I used a drinkingstraw that I put two banners on, three stars (dies from Memory Box, a little «cutted and adjusted»). The greeting («Gratulerer») is made with a dies from KaBoks.
Inside the card I stamped on a greeting (textstamp from Norsk Stempelblad AS).

Frosty The Snowman @ I ❤️ ProMarkers

Hello Again and Good Morning, dear friends and followers.
After busy, busy days at work it is great to find a little time to sit down by the craftdesk.
I find it so peaceful and resting to sit her, colouring and cutting, glittering and glueing.

Now I’m here to show you my latest DT-entry for this weeks challenge over at
I ❤️ ProMarkers

For this challenge we have 2 sponsors:

Marianne Design

Milk Coffee

The theme for this weeks challenge is
Frosty The Snowman

How you interpret this is completely up to you, as long as you make sure you follow the theme and you MUST use either ProMarkers, FlexMarkers, AquaMarkers or Trias on your work, if not you entry will be deleted.

I have made a paperbagcard for this challenge.
My image is one of Sherri Baldys My Besties.
Of course it’s coloured with ProMarkers, around it I sprinkled on a little Frantage Shabby White.
The Dp is from Papirdesign. To get a touch of that shabby look I put on some white Gesso. I also inked the edges of the diecuts with DistressInk Walnut Stain. The flowers got both Gesso and DistressInk. Underneath the image I tucked two pieces of lace and a little cheesecloth.
-And can you see the tiny diecut greeting at the bottom of the paperbag, saying «God Jul» («Merry Christmas»)? It’s one of my newest dies, from KaBoks, and I absolutely LOVE it!

Frontside of insidecard pulled out:

Backside of insidecard, the stamped greeting is from Kort & Godt:

Male Christmas @ I ❤️ ProMarkers

Hi again, dear friends and followers.
Wednesday means time for a new challenge over at

I ❤️ ProMarkers

I hope you love these challenges as much as I do.

For this challenge we have two sponsors

Kenny K

where we got our images from,
and

Dies to Die for

This weeks challenge theme is

 A Male Christmas

How you interpret this challenge is entirely up to you, but please remember you MUST use either ProMarkers, FlexMarkers, TriaMarkers, AquaMarkers or the newer NeonMarkers and of course follow the theme to be entered into the prize draw, if you don’t your entry will not be eligible for the prize draw.

I find most male projects rather hard to find ideas for - what to make, which colours to use, which  and not least how much embellishments to put on…
I coloured the image in different colour combinations before I found the combo I felt was masculine enough…
Kenny Ks images are always fun to work with, so colouring some extras wasn’t much of a bother :)
Both DPs and Textstamps are from Papirdesign.
So here it is; my Male christmas project:
A decorated Toffeefee Box:

Santa Digi Stamp

Pro- and TriaMarkers used to colour the image:

Shabby Chic @ My Besties International

Good Morning friends, followers and fellow crafters!
Oh, am I glad this weekend is over!
Arranging a flea market is really hard work!
But it was worth it! All expences paid we neared 50.000,- NKr!
Isn’t that great???

The youths and I have a little bit of tidying to do later today, but most of the work is done, and everybody seems to be happy. 

And today it’s time for a new challenge over @

My Besties International

With Wonderful Prizes for the Lucky Winners

The theme for this challenge is

Shabby Chic

I started making my Giftbag with a clear, Shabby Chic idea in my head…

…somehow it turned out more like, what I would call Vintage Shabby Chic…
I just took a brown paperbag, measured DPs to fit it. Then I ran several of my dies through my die cutting machine. The die cuts are inked and «dipped in» white Gesso before they’re attached to the paperbag.
On the die cut «arrangement» I also put the image.
Looking closely you’ll see a little string of twine hanging down from the tag tucked under the die cut panel…

I’ve used the image called IMG0004, from Sherri Baldy.
You can find all of Sherri Baldys images in her shops
Sherri’s Etsy Store
Scrapbook Stamp Society
My Besties Store
