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:

Best Christmas Wishes


Hi again
I have christmas projects going on most of the year, but now as the days are shorter, the weather colder and nights are darker, I use most of my scrap room time working on christmas projects.
Oh, I love this time of the year!

The DPs (that barely are showing) on this card are from MajaDesign.
Inside I used a textstamp from Papirdesign.
The image (Magnolia) is coloured with ProMarkers.

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:

Anything Goes @ I ❤️ ProMarkers





Good Morning to you all,
I'm sorry I'm a bit late with my DT entry for this fortnights challenge over at
I ❤️ ProMarkers

It's busy days, although I have a few days off from work - last night I made fish cakes (finished very late), now I'm baking bread and knitting woolen socks (my son is engaged in fishing this winter, and fishermen need real woolen stockings, I'm told...)


Well, back to the challenge
The theme for this fortnight is 
Anything Goes     

Our sponsor is  Dr Digi's House Of Stamps
Their 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.

I couldn't resist to use two of the stamps the DT got from Dr. Digi's House Of Stamps, so for this challenge I have two cards to show you :)
The first one is a christmas pocket card.
To not bore you with too much reading I'll just show you pictures of the card:










My second card is a birthday card in a kind of retro style
(a few years ago my daughter found a picture of a cassette and said I've seen these things in grandma's attic - LOL)
Doesn't the papers just fit perfect to the image??? I even managed to mirror the image before printing...
Enough talk! Pictures:

Vintage/ Retro @ I ❤️ ProMarkers


Good Morning to you all
As this post goes live I'm on my way for a little christmas shopping. Just a couple of days in the city for some last presents and a little more exciting christmas candies and food than what the one shop at the island has - and of course I plan to visit my favorite shop in Bodø; Trel...

But first, it's Wednesday and time for a new challenge over at
I ❤️ ProMarkers

This challenge will be the last this year, and has the theme
Vintage/ Retro

and our sponsor is

I got the image Little Hazel, and made a christmas card with it.
The image is colored with ProMarkers, for the icy details I used lily white glitter from Doodlebug design. DPs are from Authentique "Cozy" collection.

To decorate the card I used cheesecloth, laces, seambindinribbon, several snowflake-dies, a snowflake charm, white poinsettias and a drinking straw. The stamped texts are from Kort & Godt.
