C for Charming, A Mid-Way reminder for ABC Christmas Challenge

2012-02-15T09:00:00.000+01:00

I don't know if you've seen yesterday's post here at my place,
but if you have, you'll know why I had to make this card.

I have to use all my beautiful small metal things!

The card is a reminder for the ongoing challenge at
ABC Christmas Challenge.

C the letter, Miria is the host, and the theme she has chosen is:

C for Charming!

Simply we'd like to see a charm on your creation.

For sponsor information and please take a look here.

For more inspiration from my lovely DT buddies
please visit the ABC Christmas Challenge.

I had to play with this Gruffies image.
It's called 'Snow Bear'.
Look at those two, trying to scare each other.

The sparkling papers are from Bo Bunny,
I find them so beautiful, when I saw them in the store
in the town we live, I just had to buy them!

I have used an old button and some hemp twine.

First I wanted to add the charm to
the button, but it didn't look good!

So I had to fasten it in the other corner.

The ticket stamp is from Whimsy Stamps, stamped on kraft.

The back side a bit like the front, and
of course my personal stamp.

I have used this sketch, which I've rotated,
from Priscillastyles.

Challenges:

Priscillastyles- #135 Sketch
Incy Wincy Designs- #133 A Recipe
Forever Friends- Shades of blue
Scrappekammeret-#47 Snø
Cupcake Craft Challenge-#179 Entwined
Allsorts Challenge Blog- Week 141 Free and Easy

Charming!

2012-02-14T10:30:00.000+01:00

Jeg havde lyst til at vise en dejlig pakke der kom i posten til mig.

En hel masse forskellige charms- til enhver anledning-
jeg havde bestilt fra Kuttut.

En lille netbutik med super service.

For længe siden vandt jeg et gavekort der til,
og da jeg af bitter erfaring har fundet ud af at gavekort ikke varer evigt,
var det bare med at få det brugt.

Jeg syntes lidt synd på Thomas der skulle sidde
og tælle to af den og fire af den.
Men det tog han med godt humør!
Tak!

Så nu kommer der til at være charms på
hvert kort fremover.

Hvis jeg da ikke glemmer det!

Jeg regner med at I husker udfordringen hos ABC Christmas Challenge......

Ellers kommer der et kort i morgen; med charm!

Make Wishes Come True!

Our sponsor is Simon Says Stamp,
giving a $25 gift voucher for the store.

I have used 'Lavender Dreams' for my card.

Purple is one of my favourite colours and together with green
I found it perfect for the image.

The papers I've used are from Maja Design.

I made the corners with a Martha Stewart
corner punch.

A close up on those two small critters.

I have added stickles onto the flowers.

The sentiment is from Whimsy Stamps, and the button
is from some old clothes.

I have tried to dye Seam Binding with Distress Reinkers.
The colour is not so deep as I wanted it to be, but OK.
I have to practice a bit more!

I coulden't resist making this little one for my back side today.
It's 'Oh! Happy Day', masked together with a round 'handmade by Dorte' stamp.

I have used Tanja's sketch from Stempeleinmaleins.

Roberta has recently added some new and cute digi stamps.

Have a look in the store!

Today I used Roberta's 'Roopid', he is perfect for my project.
I made a small box and filled it with chocolate.

This is going to be a small gift
for ..... (Can't tell, she might be looking.)

I have found a tutorial at Stempeleinmaleins,
a lovely site with a lot of inspiration and tutorials.

The papers are from Echo Park, 'Truly Yours '.

Using so many flowers is unusual for me, but I like the way
they come out together with the pearl string.

Inside the box there is a sentiment made by Hannelie.

She's made a lot of free digi sentiments for many
different occations. Visit her and have a go on them!

I can tell you the chocolates taste yummy.

The back side of the box had to have a heart and
my personal stamp. It also hides the end of the ribbbon.

Hemmeligheder!

2012-02-04T16:30:00.001+01:00

Behovet for denne notisbog har kommet tydeligere frem,
efterhånden som pasordene øger i antal.

Pasord til netbank, mobil og alarm på huset er en ting.
Og dem til jobben en anden!

Men nu er der pasord til flere netbutikker, blogger, google,
forums, mail; you name it!!

Og nu klarer min hjerne ikke flere kombinationer!

Derfor har jeg dekoreret denne enkle notisbog.
Her er der plads til alle mine
fantasifulde og stærke pasord!

Så nu gælder det bare at få dem noteret!!

Lilla er en af mine yndlingsfarver,
Maja Design mit favorit design papir.

Egentlig burde stemplet være et House Mouse,
men de fleste af de motiver er næsten for
store til min lille bog.

Men 'Winking Student' fra Sugar Nellie Stamps,
er en god erstatter.

Jeg har klipper bøgerne, som også hører til motivet, væk.

Swirlen er lavet med en die,
blomsten med en punch.

Er hun ikke sød?

Jeg var nødt til at lave lidt ud af bagsiden også.
Miniatur af forsiden og mit personlige stempel.

Udfordringer:

Incy Wincy Designs- #131 Flower Frenzy!!

Ønskeseddel 2!

2012-01-23T08:00:00.002+01:00

Jeg ved godt at det hverken er fødselsdag eller juleaften,
men jeg havde lyst til at vise jer hvad jeg fik i posten
for ikke så længe siden.

Noget af det er fra Simon Says Stamp!, en helt fantastisk
amerikansk netbutik, som har det meste.

Jeg var så heldig at vinde et SSS gavekort på $20 hos
Charisma Cardz Challenges med dette kort her!

Clear stamps sættene og mønsterpapiret er købt hos
Pyssloteket, en svensk butik.

Nogle af tingene er taget i brug, andre ting er på vent.

Jeg glæder mig til at bruge det hele.

Ønskeseddel!

2012-01-22T09:00:00.006+01:00

Fødselsdagskort er det det går mest i når ikke jeg laver julekort.
Jeg har indtryk af at familie og venner sætter pris på at
få en hilsen i posten når der fejres fødselsdag.

Tammy fra Sugar Nellie er et motiv der kan bruges til begge
korttyper, og hun er da rigtig skøn!
Lige tilpas 'nerded'!

Vinterpapriene er 'Winter time' fra Echo Park.
Jeg købte alle arkene i serien sidste vinter, men opdager nu
at flere af dem er brugt!!! ØV. Og det er selvfølgelig de
flotteste der først forsvinder

Stemplet med 'Wish List' er fra Whimsy stamps.
Ballonger og hatte- som ikke vises på disse fotos-
har fået et lag med henholdsvis Glossy Accent og Stickles.

Pga papirmangel lever bagsiden ikke helt
op til den sædvanlige standard.

Jeg har brugt sketchen fra The Sugar Bowl.

The Sugar Bowl-#75 Sketch
Cupcake Craft Challenge-#175 Born on a Winter's Day
Saturated Canary Challenge Blog-#9 Punches or Dies

2012-01-17T11:11:00.005+01:00

Hejsan!

Her til morgen har jeg bedrevet lidt
egenterapi- en til tider undervurderet ting!

Jeg har hygget mig med at lave et fødselsdagskort med
denne herlige 'Gnome' fra Whiff of Joy.

Humøret krævede glade farver, og dem fandt jeg i mønsterpapiret
hos BoBunny's 'Back To Backs'.

Det runde tekststempel er fra Catslife Press.

Bånd, charm og bling fra mine gemmer.
Embossingfolderen er fra Cuttlebug.

Bagsiden sådan cirka som den plejer at være på mine kort.

Planer for dagen er ellers et Mid-Way kort til ABC Christmas Challenge til onsdag.

Og en løbetur i skoven med tirsdagsgruppen hos Friskis og Svettis.
Det glæder jeg mig til!!

Og selvfølgelig et par turer til mit andet
hobbyrum; vaskerummet!

California Dreaming, DT card for Fairy Fun Friday!

2012-01-13T17:00:00.003+01:00

Hello Blogland, Friday is here, and I hope you have
planned a lovely weekend. Being together with your family,
seeing people, cooking some lovely food or whatelse makes the
weekend perfect for you.

If your plans include some crafting- and I hope they do-
Fairy Fun Fridays is here with a new challenge for you.

Hannah is hosting and the theme is

California Dreaming!

Hanna wants us to make some
warm or dreaming projects.

At the moment in my part of the world it's
winter, cold and darkness come early afternoon.

I love winter, but when is snows and I'm going to
use my car and have to move snow, I'm longing and
dreaming for hot summertime!

What about you?

I would like to sit on a plane, travelling to a warmer place together
with Gillian. This image 'Gillian Flyin' is brand new.

Roberta is releasing some new digi stamps at the moment.
Check the Prairie Fairy Designs Store, I'm
sure you'll find them adorable.

For today's challenge I've made an Easel card, with some lovely summery
design papers from Echo Park, they are called 'Splash'.

The sentiment is from Magnolia.

Here's a better photo, showing the card standing.

I have made a tag hit in the bottom of the card,
I often do this on Easel cards, otherwise
I find it difficult to find a place for a regard.

Fantastisk nyhed / Fabulous news!!

2012-01-12T21:13:00.001+01:00

I går aftes fik jeg en overraskende mail fra America
og resten af House Mouse & Friends teamet!
America spurgte om jeg kunne tænke mig at blive
fast medlem af deres Design Team.

Last night I got a most surprising mail from America and
the others of the House Mouse & Friends team!
America asked if I fancied being a member of the HM&F team!
What a question!

Efter jeg havde sikret mig om at det ikke var en joke
- det hender jo at en mail kommer på afveje-
tog det mig ca et splitsekundt at bestemme mig.

After double checking it wasn't a joke
(spam mail happens)
it took me a tenth of a second to decide.

Der er kun et svar på det spørgsmål;

JA SÅ KLART!!

There's only one answer to it:

YES, OF COURSE!!!

Resten af aftenen og store dele af dagen i dag,
har jeg svævet på en lille lyserød sky.

For the rest of the evening, and today I have been in seventh heaven!!

Jeg må også indrømme at jeg er lidt betænkelig,
mon jeg klarer at indfri forventningerne?

But of course, second thoughts hit me.
Can I fullfill expectations?

En ting er sikkert, jeg glæder mig til at begynde
på teamet og blive lidt kendt med de flotte damer.
Blive inspireret at deres flotte kreationer,
og forhåbentlig kan jeg bidrage på
en positiv måde tilbage.

One thing is for sure, I'm absolutely looking forward to join
the team and get aquainted with all the lovely team girls!
Being inspired by their artfull and creative work,
and hopefully being able to contribute positively!

Teamet er udvidet med hele fem nye medlemmer.

The team has got as much as five new members.

Så alle I som følger min blog, nu kommer der endnu flere kort
med mine dejlige House Mouse stempler.

To all followers of my blog, look out for a lot of new cards
with the lovely House Mouse stamps.

Jeg håber I holder ud.

Hope you'll enjoy it!

For the boys, DT card for DDCC.

Lykkepiller efter ferien?

2012-01-04T23:00:00.001+01:00

Hej og rigtig godt nytår!

Åh, hvor har jeg savnet at blogge og lave kort her i juleferien.

Vi har været på fjeldet både jul og nytår,
men nu er det hverdag igen.
Vaskerummet flyder med store bunker
tøj, og vaskemaskinen går flere gange om dagen.

Ungerne havde første skoledag i dag,
og jeg har været på job.

Jeg var bare nødt til at lave dette kort da jeg kom hjem.

Dette her er et House Mouse stempel
som jeg lige har fået i posten.
Det hedder Balanced Diet!
(Er der nogen som har behov for diæt nu??)

Der hører et tekststempel til, men det passede bedre
med et fødselsdagskort til kassen.

Tekststemplet er fra Catslife Press.

Mønsterpapiret er gammelt som bare det.
Noget af det første jeg købte!
Det er fra My Mind's Eye.

Lidt befriende at se andre farver end blå/hvid og rød/grøn.

Misforstå mig rigtigt; jeg elsker at lave julekort.
Men forandring fryder.

Det var ikke så let at tage fine billeder i aften.
Så jeg ende ude på badet!

Bagsiden er som den plejer på mine kort.

but we will of course love if you do so.

This little darling is Gilliy from the Valentine Gilly set, a digi
image from Prairy Fairy Designs, you can find her here.

Origininally a Valentine image, but I have changed the heart
for a star to make it look more like Christmas.

I have added a lot of sparkle on her wings.

The papers are from Basic Grey, the round sentiment from Magnolia.
Ribbon, twine, pearls and charm from my stash.

In side a place to write a regard.

I have used the sketch from Cupcake Craft Challenge. (but to late to participate...)

We would also like to introduce our new team members

I have used an image kindly given from The Stamping Boutique.
Smoochie, she's called. You can find this little beautie here.

So sorry to say, but I can't tell you where the dp are from. I can't remember,
and have no possibillity to check it out right now.

Some of my favourite things are stickles and punches.
On this card I have used stickles on the punched 'Happy Birthday'
and around the image.

Isn't she a darling?
The ribbon and blings are from my stash.

The usual back side with my personal stamp.

Min top 10 for 2011!

2011-12-28T17:00:00.001+01:00

Heidi opfordrede på Scrapsisters til at lave en top 10 liste
over vores kort/LO for 2010.

Kellie har samme opfordring. Link dine kort her.

Jeg har hængt mig på ideen og her er de kort jeg har valgt.

Den kvikke læser vil bemærke at listen er julekortfri!

Først ud er dette konfirmationskort jeg lavede
til en ung mand i vores vennekreds.

Dernæst et pigekort, også til en konfirmant.
Det er et Magic kort, hvis du vil en link til en tutorial er den her.

Dåbskort som jeg lavede for en god venninde.

Jeg burde lidt oftere gøre som her, lave to-næsten- ens kort.
Der er ingen grund til at opfinde krudtet på nyt hver gang.
Men prøv at overbevise mig om det!

Faktisk et bestillingskort dette her ;)

Et bryllupskort, som jeg syntes jeg var meget heldig med.
Både farver , tekststempel og blomsterpynt.

Jeg elsker at lave foldekort, nok specielt easalkort.
jeg synes de præsenterer sig så flot.

Et problem kan være; hvor skal man skrive?

Jeg så denne løsning med en stor tag i bunden,
på en dygtig dames blog, og adopterede straks ideen.

Dette kort er med af forskellige grunde.

Det var første gang jeg prøvede at lave baggrundsskyer.

Og så fik jeg mig et godt grin over mit første farvelagte
motiv til dette kort.
Jeg havde nemlig kommet Crackle Accent
på brilleglas og vand i stedet for Glossy Accent!!

Et farverigt kort til en flot 50 årig!

Det jeg bedst kan lide ved dette kort er tekststemplet
som passer så godt til motivet.

Ingen Top 10 uden House Mouse motiver.

Jeg syntes det blev et fint foto med papiret fra
Maja Design og de flotte æbler på mit lille æbletræ.

I efteråret købte jeg mine første Sugar Nellie stempler.

Dette kort er fødselsdagskortet til en af mine-kaffeelskende-
søstre. Jeg synes rigtig godt om de blå og grønne farver.

Det sidste kort et et velkommen til verden kort.
Motivet passede perfekt til den sketch jeg havde valgt,
og motiver er bare så sødt.

New Year's Party!

2011-12-27T23:00:00.000+01:00

Udfordringsbloggen Sentimental Sundays holder New Year's Party
søndag 1 januar 2012.

For flere detaljer prøv at se her.

Sæt kryds i kalenderen, kom og vær med!

Fem favorit julekort fra 2011.

2011-12-26T17:00:00.003+01:00

Debby har udfordret os til at vise de 5 julekort vi har
lavet i 2011 som vi bedst kan lide.

Jeg har haft et mimrende tilbageblik
og kommet frem til disse kort.

4 november DT kort for Fairy Fun Fridays, No Black Lines.

Udfordringen 'No black Lines' var en rigtig udfordring for mig.
Jeg syntes det vat svært at farvelægge uden ordentlige
streger at holde sig til. Men jeg kom i mål

Et usædvanligt kort fra mig uden farvelagt stempel
og i vintage stil!

Det er et posekort lavet til udfordringen V for Vintage
hos ABC Christmas challenge.

Jeg blev ganske tilfreds med resultatet.

Jeg var GDT hos Whimsey Stamp 2 november,
udfordringen hed Monochromatic.
Jeg brugte et sødt digistamp fra Whimsy Stamps
og blåt og brunt tager sig godt ud sammen.
Dette kort var en af de første gange jeg prøvede
at lave skyer i baggrunden.

James på farten 27 september,
DT card for ABC Christmas challenge.
Det er et Z fold kort.

Jer som besøger min blog ved at jeg elsker at lave foldekort.
Det her præsenterer sig flot, og er nemt at lave.

7 dec Y is for Yipee et DT kort for ABC Christmas challenge.
Edwin fra Magnolia står til de grader i skyggen af Tilda.
Han behøver at løftes frem i lyset.
Jeg elsker den flotte lyskæde til højre på kortet.

Det var ikke let at begrænse sig til fem kort,
der var så mange andre kort
jeg havde lyst til at vise jer.

Nu sker der ikke mere på min blog før på torsdag hvor
DDCC har en ny udfordring klar.

Vi præsenterer også de nye DT medlemmer.

Fredag er FFF her med årets sidste udfordring,
og jeg kommer med mit sidste kort for 2011

Glædelig jul!

2011-12-24T09:00:00.004+01:00

Så er det endelig blevet 24 december, er I færdige til i aften?

Det gode ved julen er at den kommer enten vi er klare eller ej.
Skulle der så mangle en ting, så går det nok alligevel.

Ja da, bortset fra sidste år da vi havde glemt
kirsebærsovsen og var nødt til at ha jordbær til vores Ris a la mande!

Jeg havde lyst til vise jer min kæreste julepynt. Det er en nisse fra mit hjem.
Mine forældre havde en Brugsforretning da jeg var barn,
og hvert år var nissen en del af juledekorationen i butikken.

Han havde bestandig en ny placering, og vi søstre syntes det var sjovt
at få lov til at være med til bestemme hvor han skulle være.

Nu sidder han i min stue.

Da mine børn var mindre- og mere pilfingrede- havde
han en skåneplacering hvor de ikke kunne nå ham.

Nu de senere år en han mere tilgængelig, men jeg tror
at i går er første gang han har været ude i sne.

Det var lidt mimring herfra.

Hvis du har holdt ud så langt som hertil,
vil jeg afslutte med at ønske en rigtig

GLÆDELIG JUL!

Z for Zingy, DT card for ABC Christmas Challenge.

2011-12-21T08:30:00.008+01:00

Only a few days left for the day we all have been waiting for.

I hope you have sent of your Christmas cards and
only have the hand delivery ones left.

ABC Christmas Challenge is ready with
this years last challenge.

Z is the letter, Helen is our host.
Helen has chosen the theme.

Z for Zingy Colours!

If you -like me-wonder what 'zingy' colours means,
take a look at this faboulous picture!

Now you know!

We have to fantastic sponsors
for this last challenge of the year.

First our own Lacey from Stamp and Create.

Lacey is offering a $ 20 gift certificate for her shop.

Bugaboo Stamps is our other sponsor.
Bugaboo is giving one lucky winner 7 free digis.

This challenge runs a bit longer, you have till
January 3rd to finish your Zingy project.

WOW!! More than 500 entries for our Y for Yippee Challenge.
I think that it is new record for entries in a ABC Christmas Challenge.
So many beautiful Christmas related projects.
It was hard for Lacey only to pick a top 3,
so she made a top 10!

If you are in need of some inspiration, I'll recommend you
to make a cup of coffee, put on your sunglasses
and head over to the ABC Christmas Challenge and
see the amazing projects my teamies have made this time.

We are so lucky to have some of the Bugaboo Designers
joining us as Guest Designers this time.
Please give them a warm welcome.

The team was kindly given some Bugaboo images for this challenge.
The one I've used is called JJ Calendar Months-January.

I found her perfect for making a tag for
a bottle of wine or Champange.

The paper is meant for gift wrapping, once I saw it I knew
I was going to use for the Zingy Challenge!

I have used a Martha Stewart punch around the tag,
and also for the snowflakes.

Sorry, but I can't remember where the sentiment stamp comes from.

Isn't she a real Party Girl?

The small pieces of ribbon are from my stash,
and I have added some gold Stickles here and there.

I have used this sketch from Sketch and Stash.

Flere lys!

2011-12-19T08:15:00.000+01:00

Jeg har lavet et par lys mere, det er en perfekt lille ting
at have med når man skal i byen.

På det første har jeg brugt et stempel fra Sugar Nellie,
der er kommet lidt Stickles på her og der.
Jeg tar Stickles på efter jeg har smeltet motivet på lyset.

Blomsterne, der er ens på begge lys, er fra Hobbyhimmelen.

Stemplet på lys nummer to er fra House Mouse, det stempel
der kom i posten for et par dage siden.

Jeg kan altså ikke stå for de mus!

'Roser er røde....'

På den anden side af lyset er tekststemplet der hører til.
Der er kommet masser af rød Stickles på.

Jeg er lidt spændt på at høre tilbagemeldingerne fra mine søstre,
når lysene er brændt ned. Jeg ved ikke rigtig hvordan
Stickles bliver når det brændes?

De færdige gavepakker!

You won't be disappointed, I promise.

Can you belive it, I have been together with this fantastic team
for more than one year now. I made my first DT card
for the W for Winter Wonderland challenge in 2010

Don't mention it to Samantha, Helen and the other
'old girls' on our team,
because they asked me to join the team for a 6 month period.
But I'm still here......

Carissa and Delphine, keep it as a secret!!

Oh my, I was so excited, proud and happy!
And I still am!

Thank you girls for always being so kind and helpfull,
and for all your lovely words.

And thank you to my faithful followers,
my day wouldn't be the same without you.

I appreciate every comment you write.

OK, now onto my card before I start a long speech!!

This is my newest stamp, it's so cute and from
House Mouse Designs.
It's called Candy Gram and you can find it here.

The papers from Basic Grey are the first
Christmas design papers I bought two years ago.

I have added Gloccy Accent to the candy canes,
and Stickles to the hearts.
The sentiment is also from H&M.

There's a little metal candy cane together with the bow.

A simpel card today, no decoration inside the card.
Only a miniatyr of the front and my personal stamp.

I went to the post office yesterday to send
the main part of our Christmas Cards.

And it wasn't cheap to send them!!

But I have been enjoying making all of them, so it's worth it.

Tammy i slanket udgave!

2011-12-12T21:00:00.008+01:00

Jeg troede jeg havde lært af sidste års julekort!

Men efter at ha' poster majoriteten af årets julekort,
siger jeg bare, jeg er ikke klogere end i fjor!!

Mine kort koster en lille formue at postlægge.
Konklusion, jeg er nødt til at 'slanke' mine kort!

Her er Tammy fra Sugar Nellie, forenet med papir fra Inkido.
Et sødt og piget julekort.
Jeg havde ikke dagslys til mine fotos, så de blev så som så.

På hjørnet har jeg stanset snefnug ud med en Marthe Stewart punch.
De lidt større fnug er også lavet med en MS punch.

Bag Tammy er der embossede snefnug, ikke så let at se.
Der er kommet Stickles på sneen og huen.

Et helt enkelt skrivefelt her.

Og bagsiden som den plejer.

Jeg har brugt sketchen fra The Sugar Bowl.

Beat The Winter Blues,a Midway reminder, DT card for FFF

2011-12-09T17:30:00.004+01:00

Can you belive it, only two weeks till Christmas!

This weekend we are trying to write and mail
our Christmas cards.

I'm far behind with shopping, both
grown ups and two of the boys have been ill
in turn the last week or so.

Hopefully things will get better next week.
I'm having some days off, and can
get things done.

Fairy Fun Fridays has a great challenge
for you this forthnight.

Cor is hosting and she wrote:

...........make it blue, make it white on white, make it Christmas,
make it a snowball fight, make it monochromatic.......
interpret how you like, but

IT MUST CONTAIN BLUE
AND SOMETHING WHITE!

Here is a photo to inspire you.

Since I saw this Tee Pee Card for the first time,
I've wanted to make one myself.

I found a tutorial here at Stempeleinmaleins.
My card is not as big as the one in the tutorial,
mine is made out of 5,5 inch square pieces.

I have used the pretty Mistletoe Kisses for my card.
It's a digi image from Prairie Fairy Designs.

I have added Stickles to the white on her coat.

I don't know if this is the back side, but here is my personal stamp.
The wonderful design papers are from Papirdesign.

The sentiment is made by my team mate Tracey. So brilliant. Thank you, Tracey.

Snowflakes are made with a die from Marianne Dies.

A close up on my pretty lady, ready to a Mistletoe Kiss.

This is the way the card look like ready to fold.
The ribbons hold it together.

I have to send this card to a creativ person who knows how to mount it!

I do feel a bit behind, but I have a lot of
Christmas cards ready, Hurrah!

For the challenge this time we have, not one,
not two, but three sponsors!

Awesome!!

One lucky winner will receive 3 digi images from Karen's Doodles.

Another lucky winner will get 3 digis from Dustin Pike.

And finally, for one lucky winner, a $15 voucher for
Simon Says Stamp.

I have had this Magnolia image for one year now,
but never inked it up! Shame on me!

You can find him at Simon Says Stamp.

Poor little man with his feets in the light chain.
Unable to hang up the chain .

I have added Glossy Accent to the bulbs to make them shine.

I can't remember where I bought the bulbs I've added!
But I love them.

The wonderful design papers are from Maja Design.
The ticket sentiment is from Whimsy Stamps.

Inside a sentiment from Norsk Stempelblad.

I have to add a white paper here, so I have a place to write a 'Hello'!

The back side, a miniatyr of the front with my personal stamp.

I have used this fab sketch from Hanna and Friends.

Julehygge!

2011-12-05T14:00:00.000+01:00

Jeg regner med at der julehygges i de små hjem i denne tid.
Derfor passer det godt ind med dette kort!

Motivet er fra House-Mouse, jeg tror det er første gang jeg bruger det stempel.
Papirene er fra Basic Grey.

Jeg har lavet et telt kort, for at prøve at få det til at virke som om
musene befinder sig i en hule eller musehul.

Tekststemplet er fra Kort og Godt Hobby mener jeg.
Det er stickles på det hvide af nissehuerne,
og Glossy Accent på slikkeriet. Det sidste er ikke nemt at se.

Bagsiden er helt enkel i dag også.

Jeg her brugt denne sketch fra Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge.

2011-12-03T11:30:00.000+01:00

Jeg havde advaret om at jeg ville lave flere lys.
Denne gang med matchende servietter.

Motivet er min favorit Tilda fra Magnolia.
Og jeg har brugt prisma colour blyanter til at farve med.

Nederst er der pyntet med en snefnugremse
der er punchet med en Martha Stewart punch.

Lys nummer to er dekoreret med lilla.
Båndet passer altså bedre i farven end hvad fotoet viser.

Der er en punchet remse under båndet her også lavet med MS punch.
Der er kommet glitter på vingerne.

Xerox!

We want you to xerox one of the
DT member's cards from any

THE BLUE AND WHITE !

This is Helen's card for our G for Girly challenge March 30th.
The cute image is from Wild Rose Studio.
A really sweet and lovely card.

This is my card, I must admit is is a bit diffrent!

Not only the colours, but the whole therm differs.

I have used a digi image, kindly given by Bugaboo.
I think she is outstanding!!

The dp are from Papirdesign.

The snowflakes are made in glittery paper
with a Marianne Die and added pearls from Kort og Godt.

The inside with space for writing a greeting.
(I'm going to add a white piece of paper here also.)

All White, DTcard for DDCC.

2011-11-17T08:30:00.002+01:00

The challenge this week at DDCC is:

All White.

You can colour your image as usual, but we want
you to use white papers and embellishments.

Easy peasy or what do you think?

No speculation if this colour goes to that one,
or is this the right colour for the backing paper.
No, all white!

Phew I struggled with this card!!

Normally I'm a slow card maker, but not SO slow.
It took me hours to decide what image I wanted
to use, and to find the perfect sketch.

Finally I choose my favorite Magnolia stamp, Flying Angel.
And I'm satisfied with my choise.

All White.

I hope you like what you see.

I have used some glittery paper for the punched snowflakes.
They are made with a die from Marianne Dies.

And the papers behind the embossed ones
has a sort of glossy surface.

Hard to tell by the photos.

Around Tilda I have stamped and embossed
the snowflake wreath from Magnolia.

The usual back side, my personal stamp and the front in miniatyr!

Can you believe it took me hours to make.....
I can't, but I was there!!

I have used the sketch from Sketch N Stash.

The sponsor this time is Fred She Said.

Først er jeg nødt til at sige undskyld for de dårlige bilder.

Jeg har gjort mit beste.
Redigeret 15 nov, nye foto som er lidt bedre!

Men motivet er lige sødt for det.
Det er et House Mouse stempel jeg har brugt for første gang.

Papirene er fra Basic Grey.
Teksten er skrevet på PC og printet ud.

Dre er kommet Stickles på de grønne grannåle.
Blomsten er fra Prima med en enkelt bling.

Masser af bling på venstre siden.

Inden i plads til at skrive.

Lige så dårlige farver her som foran! ØV!
Ellers er opsættet velkendt.

Jeg har brugt sketchen fra Midnight Madness.
Jeg synes det er en sjov ide at de har en nem sketch
og en som er lidt mere avanceret.
Så kan man vælge efter behov.

So many fabby cards, thank you.

How great is that?

Sometimes I wish I could participate.....

The papers are from Wild Rose Studio.

Nej, jeg ved da godt at jeg er for tidlig på den,
der er stadig nogle
uger tilbage før dagene begynder at blive længere igen.

Men jeg har dekoreret mit første lys.

Og undskyld at jeg selv siger det, men det blev bare så flot!

Jeg fandt en tutorial her.
Jeg har altid troet det skulle være svært.
Det er det altså ikke.
Men ikke varm for længe på lyset, og pas på fingerene.

Jeg har brugt et af de fineste Magnolia stempler jeg har.
'Flying Angle Tilda' hedder det.

Til at farve med har jeg brugt Prismacolor blyanter.

Jeg viste ikke om det gik at 'fade' farven ud med løsningsmiddel.
Servietten er så tynd, så jeg tænkte
at den måske ville gå i opløsning.
Har dog senere fundet ud uf at det godt kan lade sig gøre.

Pynten er en stump bånd, sølvtråd og en charm.

Efter jeg havde smeltet motivet på,
dekorerede jeg med Stickles på vingerne.

Lyset er pakket i cellofan, og jeg har lavet en tag til at sætte på.
Den er lavet med en die fra Magnolia, og stanset
ud i restpapir fra My Minds Eye.

Jo, det kan godt betale sig at gemme små stykker papir.

Rose og perlebånd er fra Kort og Godt
og bladene er punchet ud.

Jeg har begyndt at bruge min gamle limpistol
når jeg skal lime lidt større ting på noget.
Så slipper jeg at vente på det skal tørre.

Her set I hele herligheden. Det var ikke så nemt at få
fine bilder i dag. Og slet ikke af noget med cellofan på.

Nu er jeg klar til at gå på vennindebesøg i aften.
Værtindegaven er klar.

Og gæt om jeg skal lave flere lys.

No Black Lines, DT card for FFF

2011-11-04T16:00:00.004+01:00

Once again it's Friday!

And Fairy Fun Friday will try to make this Friday even better for you!

We have a new challenging challenge ready for you.
And I mean challenging!

Kelly is hosting and has choisen the theme

No Black Lines.

Have you ever tried this new way of colouring?

If not, then leave your comfort zone and give it a try.

Kelly has written a informative 'How2',
you can find it on the Fairy Fun Friday Challenge Blog.

I do not think I was the only DT struggling with this,
but the cards from the team is awesome.

Go and have a look, and give them some Friday love!

I have used 'Skating Circles' and coloured with Prisma Colours.

I used distress for my first attempt and it looked really horrible!
The lines disappeared and I couldn't find out where to color!

But with Prismas I was able to draw a line to follow.
A tips for you- if you are age +35- colour in daylight!!

The papers are 'Winther Time' from Echo Park.
I have added glitter to the white in the clothes.

The beautiful edge punch is from Martha Stewart.

A close up, the colouring is not the best, and I should have
used some smoother paper insted of water color paper.

I will do that next time- you learn all the way.

No colouring on the back side, so I'm satisfied here!

I have used this sketch from Quixotic Inspirations Sketch Challenge.

2011-11-03T09:15:00.002+01:00

It's time for a new challenge at Dutch Dare Card Challenges.
The theme today is

Give Thanks!

Any kind of a Thank You card or a Thanksgiving creation will work.

The sponsor for this challenge is Simon Says Stamp.

The design Team has created some lovely cards.
Pop over to the challenge blog and have a look.

For my card I have used this beautiful Sugar Nellie image,
'Titania' she's called. It's the first time I ink her up.

I'm not satisfied how the glitter on her wings turned out.
I think I applied too much.

Isn't she awesome?

The Norwigan sentiment from Norsk Stempelblad says
'Thank you for you beeing you'.

The pearls are from Kort og Godt.
And the lovely papers are from Maja Design.

The back side with my personal stamp.

Can you belive it, this is my third post for today!

Some time ago, Fab'n' Funky was looking for
some new DT and GD members.

And guess what?

I was asked to be guest designer for November!!
(Doing the happy dance)

The theme for challenge 97 is

Planes, Traines & Automobiles.

Our Sponsor for this challenge is Robyn's Fetish.

I have used an image from a Swedish company
called 'Scrapplyckan' for my card.

I just love the faces on those two kids.

The papers are from Basic Grey, great colours for a male card.

Not much embellishments, the metal M is from Tim Holtz.
The edge punch is a Marthe Stewart punch.

The little 'celebrate' sentiment is a Stampin Up stamp.

Space for saying 'Hello'.

The back side like the front page.
And my personal stamp.

I have used Natalie's sketch at Pink{INK}Sketch Challenge.

Back with my second posting for today.

Last Wednesday I was so lucky to be chosen as this weeks

The theme for the challenge this week is

Monochromatic.

It is not as difficult as it sounds.
At the Whimsy Stamps blog I'm sure you

called 'Warm Winter Wishes'.
It's one of Crissy's Digitale images, you can find it here.

The beautiful blue papers are from Papirdesign, a Norwegian company.
The snowflakes are made with a punch, and I have added some
bling from Kort og Godt Hobby.

Behind the small cuties I have made clouds. I need to pratice a bit more.
I have used Liquid Appliquid on the muffs.

At the inside space for writing a greeting.

The backside is decorated like the front.
And of curse with my personal stamp.

V for Vintage, DT card for ABC Christmas Challenge a midway reminder.

2011-11-02T08:30:00.012+01:00

I'm back with a midway reminder for the

V for Vintage

Challenge at ABC Christmas Challenge.

This challenge has been difficult for me.
Vintage is NOT my stile!

But to challenge yourself from time to time is a way to
learn how to do new things.

And believe me, I had a great time creating
this card. I made my card at the floor,
and I had stuff all over.
It was so difficult to decide what to use.
I had a lot of ideas, but realized
that I coulden't use it all at one card.

Who knows, someday I might surprise all- included
myself-and create another Vintage card.

For sponsor information and further inspiration,
visit the ABC Christmas Challenge Blog.

I found the inspiration for this on Henrikke's amazing blog.

The base of my card is a brown bag. I have cut it down a bit.
All edges are distressed with Vintage Photo.

If you want to know some more about distressing,
Stempeleinmaleins has a fab tutorial here.

On the background paper I have used a sentiment stamp from Kort og Godt.

Underneath the little angel there is a doily, and some corrugated cardboard.
The cardboard is painted with gesso.

The hearts are made with a punch and I have added a lot of glitter on them.
Around the hearts some Scrappers Floss with an angel charm.
Finally a brown packet leash with a bow.

Inside there's a big tag, punched in one end with a Martha Stewart punch.
The Father Christmas stamp is from Inkadinkado.

The seam binding is coloured with tea to get the right brown colour.

(Well, the truth is I couldn't find my Mini Mister,
so I had to find an alternative!)

On the back you can see that it's a paper bag I've used.
Pearls, cardboard and my personal stamp.

Efterårskort.....

2011-10-30T16:00:00.003+01:00

Det er næsten blevet et 'mus(t)' for mig at deltage i
House-Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge.
Og denne gang er da ingen undtagelse!

De fleste af mine H&M motiver er med mus, men der har snydt
sig en kanin eller to med i samlingen .

Tænk at jeg i begyndelsen af min 'stemple-karriere'
ikke syntes om disse søde små!
Jeg troede de skulle være super svære at male, men det er de altså ikke.
Eneste ulempe er at motiverne ofte er store,
så der er ikke plads til så meget spræl.
Det kan selvfølgelig også nogle gange bare være en fordel.

Papiret er fra Maja Design, rigtige efterårs ark.

Jeg har kommer Glossy Accent på æblerne,
det er bare ikke til at se. Men det giver en flot effekt.

Tekststemplet er også fra House-Mouse.

På snoren et lille æble.

Jeg fandt ikke plads til tekststempel inden i.
Jeg synes papiret er flot i sig selv.

På højre side tænkte jeg at ha et ark til at skrive på.

Bagsiden som foran.
Jeg har brugt den smukke kantpunch fra Martha Stewart.

Jeg har brugt denne sketch fra Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge.
