White On White @ I ❤️ ProMarkers


Good Morning to you all!
Wednesday, that means it's time for a new challenge over at
I ❤️ ProMarkers

And again, it's a Wednesday I'm traveling. This time only in the area around Bodø, and only for 3 days. And hopefully this is the last work-related journey this year!


This week’s theme is 
White on White
Our sponsors is  Dr Digi's House Of Stamps

Prize is 2 digi image of winner’s choice. 

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.  


As Halloween is coming closer I wanted to make a little treat bag for some Halloween goodies.
I got the image Spook (Boo) from Dr. Digi
The only colours I used on it was Warm Grey 1, 3 and the Blender. 
On the letters I used GlitterStickles (oh, I L O V E that stuff!). 
The Boo-dies and the numbers (31) are from Tim Holtz. 
I can't remember where I got the embossing folder from. 
I made the two bigger ghosts by drawing around two chipboard ghosts on white Bazzill cardstock, then I cut them out, inked the edges (DistressInk BlackSoot) and put on some of those kind of rolling eyes. 
The ribbon, ghost charm and ghost pin are many years old - actually this was the very last bit of the ribbon, so I'll have to search for new halloween ribbons...
Here's my Halloween treat bag - from different angles:

Anything Goes @ I ❤️ ProMarkers


Hello again Friends and Followers.
As this post goes live I'll be in Malmö, in Sweden, on an On-Job-Training-Instructor-Course. The course will last the whole week, Monday to Friday. I'll have to leave home on Sunday, and won't come home until next Saturday - 6 days without scrapping or card making! At least I can bring some knitting along...
Well - Wednesday, that means it's time for a new challenge over at

I ❤️ ProMarkers

This week’s theme is 
Anything Goes    
Our sponsor is KennyK
Prize 3 images

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 got the supercute and funny digistamp Elfie Selfie from Kenny K to play with for this challenge. I coloured the image with ProMarkers, and mounted it to cardstock to make it look like one of those old polaroid photos (Oh, how I want a polaroid camera!) I also wanted to make the card in a CAS style, think I made it - in a way... DPs from Martha Stewart, Dies and Stamps are from Papirdesign. I can't remember the brand of the ribbon, but I think it worked well with this paper and image. 
I hope you like it:

Flowers/ Nature @ I ❤️ ProMarkers

I got the lovely image The Fairy and the Wizard from The Paper Shelter to play with, and decided to use it on a "paperbagcardholder". 
Of course the image is colored with ProMarkers - and the fairy's wings just had to have a layer of glitter on!
As the challenge is Flowers/ Nature I was about to go absolutely crazy in flowers on the bag, but after removing about 2/3 of the flowers and leaves before glueing them down this is what it ended like:




Inside the paperbag I put a card - for personal greetings...

...and with a pocket for some money

The pocket has velcro closing

I have decorated a brown paperbag - nice for a halloween treat, I think.

Isn't the web and spider dies (Yvonne Creations) just adorable - I love them!
I attached one of the spiders with a thin black thread, so it can move around.
I also used some black lace, some pom pom ribbon, a halloween charm and a pumpkin pin to decorate the paperbag.

Confirmationcard wtih Magnolia Image


Hi again.
Between most christmas- and birthdayprojects I thought I'd show a confirmation card I made a while ago. This one has the shabby chic, fully loaded style that I like so much. I think Magnolia images are just perfect for this style. The image is coloured with ProMarkers. Around it I sprinkled on some Frantage. DPs used are from Papirdesign, and the cardstocks are from Bazzill.
I used several dies, a MS Punch, lace, cheesecloth, seambindingribbon, twine, charms, a button, halfpearls and pearlstrings. The flowers are dipped in frantage (then heated to fasten the stuff). All paperedges are inked With DistressInk WalnutStain.
Inside the card I stamped on a poem and made a Pocket for either a giftcard or some Money.

Christmas Notebook


Hello again, friends and followers.
Suddenly I got the house all to myself as the rest of the family went fishing. There's still more than an hour to NCIS starts, so I thought I'd have some happy time in my work room :)

Tonight I'll show you a little christmas note book that I made. Well - I made the cover to put a store bought notebook in... Quite handy when preparing for christmas.
I used Bazzill Kraft Cardstock, and DPs from Maja Design, some twine, a label holder and a couple of brads to keep it in place. All papers are inked with DistressInk WalnutStain.
The border on the picture panel is made with a Martha Stewart Punch.
Here it is:
