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!

God Jul....Christmas Challenges {with sketches} # 20...and a GDT call!

Hi everybody! 

I'm sorry that I don't publish so much these days. We are very busy renovating our home. I do create, but I just don't have so much time to put it on my blog. 

Well here is another card I made for the next challenge at CCWS. Marga made the sketch, thanks girl!

I used design papers from Milton & Co, Christmas and brown cardstock.

Because I didn't have brown flowers, I took some white ones and made them brown with distress ink, vintage photo. I find it a nice combo, the brown with the pink :o)

From a little bit of paper I made this banner with my sentiment on it.

Lovely Tilda was coloured this time with my Derwent colouring pencils

skin: 170-190-620

hair: 600-630

dress: 200-240

tights: 450-480

wings: stickles

Our sponsor for these 2 weeks is

Well I hope you will make another Christmas card and join us at Christmas Challenges {with sketches}.

God Jul....Christmas Challenges {with sketches # 19}

Hi all!

It's Wednesday again, time for another challenge at CCWS. 

Linda made a beautiful sketch for us to work with. Love it :o) Thanks Linda!

We have also a twist again, to use kraft on your card. 

So beware of that and of course the general rules to play along. 

 I very much like the format and I used a Kraftpaper-base which measures 10 x 15 cm. 

To attach my designpaperstrips (from Marianne Design, Old Fashion Christmas) to my card I used some thread (and of course a little bit of dobblesided tape :o)). Here you can also see the background-stamp from Penny Black.

Heidi with Ornament was a gift from Janneke some time ago. I love her, she is so cute. 

Thanks again, Janneke! I coloured her with my copics:

skin: E50/51/53

cheeks: E93

hair: E43/44/47

ornament: R81/83/85

dress and shoes: B0000/BG10/11/15

tights: E31/33/35

ground: W2

stickles: Crystle

This challenge we are being sponsored by

Hanneke is giving away a beautiful prize. Go check out the challengeblog now and 

be inspired by the cards made by my teammates. 

Bye, bye!

Wishing you.... Christmas Challenges # 18

Hi everybody...

I'm back with another Christmas card for Christmas Challenges {with sketches}. This time Janneke made a beautiful sketch for us. And I made an easelcard with her sketch :o)

My designpapers are from BoBunny and I used with cardstock with a light blue otherside.

I stamped a Christmas-sentiment  and diecut it with a Docraft Die. 

Then cut it out a little bit bigger for nice matting.

The buttons are from my stash.

The stamp is one from Magnolia and was coloured with my Copics:

bag: B91/93/95/97

gifts: R29/C0/2/4

I made a nice pattern with ribbon from Rayher behind the stamp.

Hopefully you like my card again :o) If you want to continue making Christmas cards, please visit our challenge blog for a inspiring sketch and of course to see the beautiful cards from my teammates.

With Random.org we select a winner. Our sponsor for these two weeks is 

I hope to see you all at Christmas Challenges {with sketches}

Klatre steg for steg....(climbing step by step...)

Hi everyone!

After a lot of cards, I want to show you another LO. This one I made as a result of a competition on Scrappeland.no. We had to scrap a song. Well one of the favorite songs of our children is "Klatre steg for steg", climbing step by step. This was a song from Melodi Grand Prix junior here in Norway.

The photo's were made in the Netherlands, when we were on holiday there. 

I didn't use cardstock, only designpapers.  The flowers are from wood with three different buttons on it. My silhouette helped me making the big flower on the left, the journaling- and datetag. The title are letters from the paperstack and some are made with my Dymo labelmaker. For a little bit extra I placed a felt butterfly with the big flower. 

I love this LO. Now I have to decide in which album this one will end up :o)

Thanks again for your visit and I hope you will let me know what you think of this one.

See you soon!

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
