I have made a birthday card using 'Balancing Act'.

Kort til studenten.

Jeg synes det er hyggeligt at give en lille opmerksomhed til dem som er 

færdige med gymnasiet eller videregående som de siger i Norge.

I år er der kun en student i vennekredsen, 

men kort og blomst skal der naturligvis til.

Jeg har lavet et skjortekort, indspireret af Jocelyn, jeg har set på de linker

 hun har tipset om og mixet og trixet og lavet min egen version.

 

Det er selt ikke svært, prøv selv.

Mønsterpapiret er fra 7 gypsies og Basic Grey.

På en regnvejrsdag.

Jeg ville bare dele et hurtigt kort i dag.

Efter at Annette havde blogget nogle kort hvor hun havde brugt denne

die fra Cuttlebug, blev jeg bare nødt til at købe den selv.

Annette var hurtig ude med tips om hvor den kunne skaffes,

og ikke længe efter var den i hus.

Papiret er fra 7 Gypsies, det ser sådan lidt 'Air Mail' ud.

 Jeg synes det passede så godt til flyene.

Udfordringer:

• Fab'n  Funky Challenge- # 204 Spots and/or Stripes
• Crafty Ribbons Challenge- # 77 Anything Goes
• Seize The Birthday- Always Birthday

Til en cool fyr.

Min yngste fylte 14 år i går, og blev fejret som fortjent

og vi havde en dejlig dag med en stor del af vores danske familie. 

Til en fødselsdag hører selvfølgelig et fødselsdagskort, 

som jeg naturligvis havde lavet. 

Jeg har lavet et easelkort med 'Joye' fra 'Stamp-It', mønsterpapiret 

er fra 7Gypsie, det samme som jeg har brugt på disse kort

For at ramme rigtig farve på t-shirten har jeg lavet den i mønsterpapir.

Her er kortet vist når det står, tekststemplerne er fra Stempelglede og Hobbyhimmelen.

Udfordringer:

•  Simon Says..- Anything Goes
• Creative Inspirations- #225 Anything Goes

Kort til Linda/Bertram.

Som nogle af jer ved er jeg med i en gruppe fra
Scrapsisters, som sender fødselsdagskort til hinanden.

En af pigerne, Linda, har desværre lige meldt sig ud,
men jeg syntes ikke hun skulle snydes for et kort af den grund.

Når livet går for stærkt er det vel netop
man har brug for extra opmærksomhed.

Så her er mit kort til Linda.

Ikke som mine sædvanlige kort, men det er sjovt at prøve noget andet.

Det er firkanter hvor to af hjørnene er rundet med en punch.
Papiret er fra 7 Gypsies.

Gratulerer stemplet er fra Kreativ Hobby.

Og bagsiden ser sådan ud.

Det ser ud til at blive en fin sommerlørdag.
Det glæder vi os over.

God week-end til jer.

Udfordringer:

• Creatalicious Challenges- #35 Anything Goes
• PaperPlay Challenges- Week 27 Happy Birthday
• Whimsy Stamps Challenge Blog- #46 Anything Goes
  

Umbrella Man, et konfirmationskort til ham.

Den store dag i huset hos os er overstået.
Den mellemste af drengene blev konfirmeret i går.

Vi havde en dejlig dag med familien
fra Norge og Danmark.

Her er et kort jeg har lavet til en vennerne.
Stemplet er Umbrella Man fra Tim Holtz.

Jeg købte et nyt i stedet for det der var
blevet skadet i transporten.

Pga tidsnød var jeg nødt til at bruge
det ødelagte til indbydelserne. ØV!

Jeg har lavet en type Tag-Flip-Kort efter en ide hos Anita her.

Papiret er ældgammelt, det er fra 7 Gypsies.
Jeg havde først stemplet direkte på papiret,
men det så bare rodet ud.

Alternativet blev at stemple på et svagt
grønt mønsterpapir og derefter klippe ud.

Tandhjulene er lavet med en Spellbinder die.

Her er kortet åbnet.

Jeg limede et hvidt skrivefelt ind
før kortet blev afleveret.

Der er en lille globus charm i den runde åbning ved båndet.

Her er igen mit meget brugte
'Magi' stempel fra Stempelglede.

Der er plads til en pengeseddel i lommen.

Kortes bagside, med endnu et tandhjul og mit personlige stempel.
