Vintage Confirmation

Confirmation - this time of year again. And this year I had a confirmand myself.
May 15th was my daughter, Heddas, confirmation.

I love making card for confirmations, especially girls confirmations.
I've tried to make this in a vintage, shabby-like style. I've used laces, frantage, cheesecloth, seambindingribbon, a flower and a ribbon with printed confirmation text. I mounted the image on to a panel made with a die I think is from Spellbinders.
As base for the card I used Bazzill Kraft cardstock, finished size is 4"X6".


The inside is folded to make pocket for a gift card (or money) inside:

Things with Wings @ I ❤️ ProMarkers


Good Morning to you all.
Wednesday again, and I'm here to invite you to join the brand new challenge over at
I ❤️ ProMarkers

This weeks sponsor is
QKR Stampede 
The prize for the lucky winner this week is 3 digi images of the winners' choice.

Theme for this weeks challenge is
Things with Wings

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

We would prefer that you have Word Verification turned off on your blogs, this slows us down so much when we go to leave you lovely comments.  If you have it turned on, then we're very sorry but we won't be able to leave you any comments, but your entry WILL still be entered into the prize draw.

Of course I have made a thing (with wings) to inspire you to join us.
I used the image Heart Box Angel on my project this week.
And what I've made this week is a wall hanging.
I used papers from Maja Design, and coloured the image in colours I think matched the papers.
Around the image I sprinkled on a little Shabby White Frantage.
To decorate the wall hanging I used Flowers, lace, pearlstrings, cheesecloth, twine and a button.
The little stamped text is from Kort&Godt.
In one of the bottom corners I put a magnet underneath the DP, it's meant to hold pins I often use when I have to make quick fixings...
All paperedges are distressed and inked with DistressInk WalnutStain

Here it is, with several close-ups:

Almond, Putty, Satin, Tan, Pale Blossom, Blossom, Primrose, Warm Grey1, Blender

Good Morning to you all.
Doesn’t time jus fly away! March already!
It feels like yesterday we had December and christmas…
Yet I really love the winter time - even darkest days and the days with the worse weather - I love it when spring arrives and the days are longer, when the sun start to warm a little…
-Oh, and yesterday we found lots of coltsfoot outside!
It’s springtime!

Well, enough about that. It’s Wednesday again, and time for a new challenge over at

So for this challenge I have made an easel card, where I have ripped, torn and inked - really distressed - all paperedges.

Alt er tillatt/ Anything Goes @ My Besties Norge


Hello again to you all.
Today I’ll show you the card I made for the new challenge over at
My Besties Norge

The theme for this challenge is
Alt er tillatt
Anything Goes

I have used the supercute image IMG440 from Sherri Baldys My Besties
You can find all of her images in her stores

Scrapbook Stamp Society
My Besties Store

With this card I’m back to my pale colours, the «vintage-Shabby» style I like so much.
I’ve used DPs from FabScraps, dies from Spellbinders, Magnolia and Marianne design.
Here are laces and pearlstrings, white seambindingribbontied into a bow, with small clocks tied on. Around the image I put on a little Chunky White Frantage.
-And of course the paperedges are inked with DistressInk WalnutStain.


Inside; panels made with Martha Stewart PATP-set and a stamp from Papirdesign:



Luckily this part of the paper was at the right bottom corner of the DP - perfect to put on the back of the card:

Pearls and Swirls @ I ❤️ ProMarkers


I’m sorry I’m a bit late with todays post - I stayed up too late last night, doing «christmassy things», and had completely forgot to push «plan» on this blogpost, so when I slept too long today, my post didn’t go live…
But here it is, and I hope you like it.

Today we have a new challenge for you over at
I ❤️ ProMarkers

This week with the theme
Pearls and Swirls

Our sponsor this week is

For my DT-entry this week I’ve made a Tag.
The tag is tied onto a bag of «Chocolate-Snowballs», homemade little, white chocolateballs, that my family think is delicious. And I think this image (from Stitchy Bear) is just perfect for thos purpose.
I’ve used old DPs from Ladybug and Friends. T decorate I used several dies, a little bit of silvercoloured lace, some pearlswirls and -strings, and some halfpearls and blingstones of course.
Paperedges are distressed and inked.
Then I used a bit of string to tie the tag onto the bag.
The image is, of course coloured with ProMarkers, the snowman and his snowballs have got some Glitterstickles on as well.

The stamped greeting on the banner beneath the image is from Ladybug and Friends.
Inside the card I used stamped texts from Kort & Godt and Norsk Stempelblad AS.
