Tis the season.....CCWS # 30

Hi all!

It's Wednesday again and another challenge at Christmas Challenges {whit sketches}. 

We have a challenge now every week. So more changes to join and win some nice goodies.

Janneke made a fun sketch and she is also giving away something to the winner. 

Thanks Janneke, you're the best :o)

My card needed some snow and I mimicked that with my snow marker.

These kids are enjoying the fireworks. It's a stamp from Jalekro and stood on a sheet with multiple stamps.

I have them scanned so I can use them several times :o)

Colored them with my Derwent coloring pencils:

faces: 170-190-620

green: 440-450

blue: 310-350

red: 150

pink: 180

brown: 620

some stickles

 With a embossing folder from Sizzix I embossed the red cardstock. I used both the positive as wel as the negative :o)

The designpapers are from Three bugs in a rug (snow much fun) and the sentiment is a rubbon from Creative Imaginations :o)

I hope you join us again at CCWS and make another Christmas card. 

It's so much fun to visit all of your blogs :o)

See ya!

Kids

Hi everybody!

This minialbum was made almost a year ago! And I forgot to show you...

It is an album for my parents in law with pictures from our girls :o)

When you open it, you can display it on a table or something. 

Seen from above....

Every part has pictures from each granddaughter...

and when it closes, ....

....  the pictures are neatly hidden.

Such a fun little gift, don't you think? My inlaws were very happy with it. 

Hope you like it too :o)

Thanks for visiting and see you soon!

CCWS # 29

Hi everyone!

We have a new challenge on

 Except I did not make a card. Why not? I will explain....

From this week on we will have a challenge every week. And because we have a big designersgroup, we divided the group into two. We now have Snow Angels and Holiday Fairies and I'm a Holiday Fairy

The Snow Angels made samplecards for you this week with the great sketch from Claire. So go over to the challenge blog and check them out. Pay the Snow Angels a visit on their own blog and leave them a message. You can also win a great prize from

I hope to see you and your beautful cards again. 

Next week I, as a Holiday Fairy, have another card for you to show. 

See you soon!

New career...new blog...

Hi everybody,

Wanna tell you a bit about myself. I don't know if you know, but I am a stay-at-home-mom. We have three beautiful girls, two at school already and one at preschool 3 days a week. Our youngest will begin at school in august and then I will have 5 days a week, every morning to myself. 

I really want to start something for myself, something small to begin with. 

I used to sew a lot of cloths for myself, my husband, my kids and others. I have sewn trousers, sweaters, coats, little girls dresses, curtains, toys, and lots of other stuff. Before it was pure for pleasure, but I think it would be fun to try to make a little career out of it :o). So I have brought out my sewingmachine again and started with a ladies sweater. To show you what I make, I have established a new blog:

Cols Clothing Company

The blog is in Norwegian, but you can let it translate by using the translation box.
I hope you will visit me some time there and let me know what you think of my projects.

Wish me luck in my "new career" :o))

Happy Birthday Malin!

Hi!

For my oldest daughter I made this box for her birthday. I found it on Renata's blog, but there was no description. I found that on Thea's Creations. Thank you both, ladies!

On the inside there are many surfaces you have to decorate. 

And the centerpiece is a cute little cake!

I scanned the Magolia-stamp and made her very tiny :o)

I stamped a greeting on the inside as well and wrote of course some words for the birthday-girl :o)

It was some work, but I think it is so cute, this box, just like my girl :o))

Bye, bye, see you next time!

Mine første fletter....my first braids...

Hi everyone!

Already last year I made this LO from the first little braids of my youngest daughter. She was so proud of them :o)

I used some "pearly swirls" and layered a flower. 

Under the designpaper is a cake napkin (? I don't know if that is the correct word)

The letters are from Tickers and Kaisercraft.

You can also see the MS-punch I used to make a kind of border round the big picture. 

A flower in the middel to bind the pictures together and this LO is complete :o)

Thanks for your visit again and let me know what you think, OK?

Bye bye!

God Jul.....CCWS # 28

Hi all!

Here I am again with a card. This one is for our next challenge at Christmas Challenges {with sketches}, CCWS. Carol made a beautiful sketch, a round one, so nice! Thanks Carol, it was a pleasure to make a card with your sketch :o)

I cut this card with my silhouette. First the cardbase, with a kind of hinge and then a blue circle to cover the card. With my silhouette I cut out the snowflakes in the white cardstock and made it a little bit smaller then the blue one. 

My Santa is sitting on a ribbon from Kort og Godt and I colored him with my Derwent coloring pencils:

skin: 170-190-620

hair and beard: 710

clothes and shoes: 340-360-310-720

and lots of stickles: baby blue, frosted lace, diamond

Behind him is a round piece of frosted vellum from my stash, where I stamped my sentiment on. 

I used three of the snowflakes that came out of the card and glued them with 3D-dots on the card. 

I furtheron decorated my card with my perlen pen.
