Varme Juleklemmer....CCWS # 65

Hello everybody!

Today starts a new challenge over at Christmas Challenges {with sketches}. 

This time it was my turn to make a sketch for you all. I thought it maybe challenging to have a different shape, so I designed a kind of tag. 

I wanted to be a real card, so I folded a second tag and glued it to the first, front tag.

Our sponsor Bugaboo, provided us with some digi's to work with. 

I choose this one called Winter Birds, Friend. Such a sweetie, don't you think?

It was coloured with copics

B14-12-00 and R22-24-27-29

Used a punch from Martha Stewart for the snowflakes and decorated them with Stickles and the Perlen Pen. 

The designpapers are from Marianne Design, Winterworld. 

Our sponsor for this week is 

Visit our challenge blog CCWS and take a look at my sketch and the other cards from the Holiday Fairies.

Hope to see you there :o)

Juleklem...CCWS # 50

Hi everyone!

Here I am with another Christmas card for challenge number 50 (!) at Christmas Challenges {with sketches}. I made this card during a cozy get-together with my scrapping girlfriends. 

I used designpapers from Panduro, Winter. And I dry-embossed the circle. Sorry but I cannot remember which folder it was...

This penguin was donated to us Holiday Fairies by our sponsor, Meljen's Designs. Isn't he sweet?

I coloured him with my Derwent Coloring pencils:

penguin: 710-700-080

cup: 390-380

hat: 380

I also used Pigment Modellingspasta Coarse. It gives it such a nice touch. 

With this challenge we have a twist again. Use stitching on your card, real or faux. I pierced a lot of holes in my circle and stitched around it afterwards. With a nice charm, my card was ready :o)

So come on over to CCWS and join in for some fun. 

Let us in the DT-team know what you think of our cards, ok?

See ya!

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!

Warm & Snugly Christmas Wishes...CCWS # 23

Hi!

I cannot believe that it is already two weeks since I posted here. Time flies really... And it is also two weeks since our last challenge at Christmas Challenges {with sketches}! So here is a new one for all of you die-hards that still are making cards for Christmas. 

It was my pleasure to be able to make a sketch for you this time. And we have a twist again!!

Only use WHITE! 

You can colour your stamp of course, otherwise it would be a little bit dull, don't you think? So now is the chance to use a lot of textures on your card. 

I took my cuttlebug and used a lot of my embossingsfolders. I didn't want to ink the edges, so I used stickles and glossy accents. To make the bow I used my Bow Easy.

In the heart of my snowflakes I used my perlen pen. And I just love that netting ribbon!!

This golden oldie was coloured with my Copics again:

skin: E50-51-53

hair: E35-31-Y32

clothes: B97-95-93-91

socks and bow: V95-93-91 and later on: R85-83-81

bench: E47-44-43

rug: Y21-32-E50

shadow: C2

These two weeks we are being sponsored by

So come on and make another Christmas card for your stack. Visit the Christmas Challenges blog and take a look at all the beautiful card the design team made for you as an inspiration. 

Hope to see you there!!

Bye bye...

Hvor skal du?...Where are you going?

Hi everyone!

I want to show you a lay out I've been working on for my daughter's album. We were at a playground when we were on holiday. There were large tractor tires you could climb. My daughter thought they were a lot of fun and again and again she climbed to the top!

For this lay out I used designpapers from Docrafts, Hanoverian Linen Paperpack and white and old pink cardstock. I could use a very nice Martha Stewart punch and some Spellbinders dies that belongs to my dear friend Hilde. Tusen takk, Hilde :o) The big letters are Panduro's and the small ones are from Kaisercraft. 

This beautiful swirl is from Prima and the flowers were cut out from the designpapers.

For this lay out I used a sketch from Pagemaps.com. Becky has a contest on her blog and I want to participate in that with this LO. 

I hope you let me know what you think of my LO...

And keep your fingers crossed with me, maybe I will be the lucky winner of a beautiful prize package from Webster's Pages :o)

Bye bye!

Have a cool Christmas...CCWS # 21

Hi everyone... it's Wednesday again and time for another challenge at Christmas Challenges {with sketches}. Our lovely Marion made a beautiful sketch this time, thanks sweetie, you're the best ;o)

Again we have a twist on our challenge, "Baby it's cold outside, make a winter theme card". 

I used some papers from long ago, had a little left and found it cold enough for this challenge :o)

I'm not sure from who this nice sentiment is, but I like it very much. It fits so well on this card. 

I used some stickles, frosted lace on the paper (punched out with a MS punch) as you can probably see. 

This stamp is a Panduro stamp. I coloured it with my copics:

skin: E000-50-51-53

cheeks: E93

clothes: BG10-11-15

shoes: E43-44-47

shadow: B0000

ground: C4

The snow is coloured with stickles.

This time 

is our sponsor. So hop on over to the challengeblog and join us again in making a Christmascard with a real winterfeeling. Hope to see you soon again.

Bye, bye!

Believe...Christmas Challenges {with sketches} # 17

Hi everybody!

First of all I want to wish you a Happy Newyear. 

Secondly I really want to thank you all for your comments the past year. I enjoyed reading each and every one :o)

And now we go back to daily life. After little over a week we are in our regular pattern again. 

So what do we do? Yes, we make Christmas cards :o) What better way to start the new year, don't you think?  At Christmas Challenges {with sketches} we have a new sketch for you. Made for you by our talented Claire. 

This is my card as inspiration for you all. I rotated the sketch to get more of a balanse in it. 

In this challenge we want you to use dies or punches. Well I have used both. Here you can see I used my Martha Stewart punch. The sentiment is a rubbon from Hot off the Press. 

Behind Santa you can see my die from Docraft Dielicious. The circle was cut out with my Curvy Cutter from EK success.

Santa was coloured with Derwent coloursoft pencils:

skin: 170-190-620

hair: 710

clothes: 130

gift: 480-010

shoes: 520-530-010

and stickles, frosted lace

Furthermore, I used paper from Imaginisce and ribbon from Craft Essentials.

This swirl is from Little Yellow Bicycle and the brads I bought at Nille (a Norwegian household-shop with some scrappingstuff). 

Yes, I know, we just had Christmas. But you do want to send cards this year too, don't you? 

Well, let's continue making those cards, OK? 

Especially when you can win an amazing prize again. This time our sponsor is

Happy Holidays..... Christmas Challenges {with sketches} # 16

 Hi, I'm back. 

This time with the next challenge on our Christmas Challenges {with sketches} blog.

The sketch is made for you by my teamie Carol. Go to the blog and check it out.

On my favorite forum Scrappeland.no I found a beautiful card for 4 tealights presented by Randi Thorsen.

And so I used that template for my card here.

The sentiment is a rubbon from Hot of the Press, with a little bit of bling in the centre. 

The right size for this little card. 

Here is Maggy with dotted scarf, from Sugar Nellie. I think she is still a cutie :o)

I have coloured her with my copics.

skin: E0000/50/51/53

cheeks: E93

hair: E97

hat, coat and boots: pink-R81/83/85 and blue-BG11/15

earwarmers: BG11/15

scarf: YG11/13/17 and BG 11/15

shadow: C2

air: B0000

ground: E31/33

Inside the card is a little box where you can put 4 tealights in. 

I used a piece of plastic, which I ran through my cuttlebug. 

And this is the back of my little card.

Thank you Randi for the inspiration and the good tutorial you gave us at Scrappeland.no :o)

is the last sponsor on Christmas Challenges {with sketches} for this year. Come on over to the blog to see Carols sketch, the cards my teamies made and to check out what prize you can win this time.
