3ndy Papir!

Hi everyone, had a nice weekend?

Its time to share my last works done with the amazing 3ndy Papir papers as their proud guest designer this month!

First up is a card I made, with a slide tag on the front with a message on.

All papers are from 3ndy Papir, and the chipboard gate is a design from Scrapware. All these products are just beautiful and so fun to play with! And look at the cute image of the kids and the bird; just sooooo cute! Right? It's from 3ndy Papir, one of their beautiful papers, and I have just cut out the design from the paper and used it for this card.

And here is a simple tag I made;

Again, the beautiful label is from 3ndy Papir!

I would like to use this opportunity to thank 3ndy Papir for having me as their guest this month. It is truly an huge honor, and it has been so, so fun to play with your amazing designs!

I also want to thank all of you for taking your time to visit my blog, I appreciate every one of you! And THANK YOU SO MUCH for all the sweet comments, everyone of them really warm my heart and inspire me to continue on with what I'm doing and to share my work with you all - THANK YOU SO MUCH! I am just so sorry and feel terrible for not having enough time to blog jump and to comment everyone of you back. I do try my best inbetween when I have some time, but there is never enough time... I am so sorry for this, and I really do hope I can catch up a bit really soon. I miss to see all your beautiful works and just to be inspired by all of you!

Take care everyone, and I wish you all a wonderful week filled with lots and lots of creativity!

My amazing mum

Hi all my dear blog readers.

Today I want to share a picture I took of my mum today. She is the best mum ever, e person with a really big heart who always thinks of everyone else first but herself, a mum that I am really, really proud of and love so much! And I think she looks so beautiful too. Here is the picture I took of her today;

And now, over to crafting ;o)

Some months ago I created this Prima card for Scrapbooking m.m., a  great Swedish magazine. It was published in the last issue together with one of my layouts and lots of lots of beautiful works from some amazing designers on the Prima DT in a huge article about Prima!

I used two Build-a-Book mini album sheets that are covered with canvas; sooo fun to use and to play with! I decorated with Prima pattern papers, lace, felt and flowers.

The butterflies are Prima clear stamps stamped on transparant sheets, cut out and glued on with a strong and transparent glue. This technique is great to use if you want to add the butterfly "wherever you want", like I did here on the flower and even on the tulle on the top. It gives a very dimentional and "airy" feel. Here are some close-ups;

Thank you for dropping by!

3ndy Papir and Scrapware!

Hi everyone!

Today I want to show you one layout I made with 3ndy Papir from Norway and chipboard title from Scrapwere from Australia! These products are all so beautiful, so its just an huge honour and pleasure to have the opportunity to play with it as 3ndy Papir and Scrapware's guest this month!

Here is the layout I made;

And some close-ups;

Butterflies punched out with a butterfly punch on beautiful 3ndy Papir papers!
Melissa Frances raisin embellish over Hambly transparency swirls.

"Sun" in the title is a beautiful chipboard word from Scrapware in kraft chipboard, so I wanted to leeve the natural effect from the kraft and just add on some randonly stamping and some randomly outer lines I drew with a thin black pen. The journaling spot under the chipboardword is a beautiful label from 3ndy Papir.

And here some other details. I just love all these products, and that Prima Painted Lady there is one of my all time favorite flower!
All papers used on this layout are from 3ndy Papir, and all chipboard (title) is from Scrapware.

*Complete material lists are coming very soon*

Now I have to go off to bed, school starts tomorrow morning! Waaay! :oD I am so excited! Cant wait to learn more about graphic design! *happy*

But first; THANK YOU with all my heart to Scrapware and 3ndy Papir who gave me this honour to be their guest, I really love all your products, I am so happy for this opportunity! *hugs*

Thank you for dropping by everyone, I appreciate you all so much!

Another Prima felt gate card!

Hi, having a nice Friday everyone?

I have had a very busy and physically demanding day up in our cabin, had to cut down many large trees and I'm so tired right now. So this is just a quick post to share with you all another felt gate card I made to CHA with one of the brand new felt gates (LOVE them!) from Prima and the cute and wonderful new line "Jack and Jill"!

Here it is, the front;

And how it looks like when the felt gate are opened;

And inside of the card;

From another angle, opened;

Prima products used on this card; *coming very soon*

To make this card you simply have to apply the felt gate to a clear/transparent sheet, then make holes in the transparent for the binding rings. Then make a ordinary card that fit the size of the felt gate, and make holes in it that fit the holes on the transparent sheet with the felt gate on. Then decorate the felt gate and the card as desired. Add binding rings and some laces and/or ribbons to the binding rings.

Wish you all a wonderful weekend filled with lots and lots of creativity!
Thank you for taking your time to drop by and visit my blog, I really appreciate it!

Some things to share!

Hi ;o)

Today I want to share some things with you all.
The last weeks has been a bit crazy for me, so I'm behind on almost everything. And, on Monday school starts again, time to study more graphic design! ;o)
And because of these crazy weeks, I'm also behind on sharing stuff with you all, like some projects done for CHA.

So first up today is a "Go Green" saving box made from an old Essentials flower packaging from Prima, covered with lots of goodies from the brand new Road Trip collection; - This is really a fun line!

This altered box is perfect for my daughter to save money on for vacation next year, to ice-creams and stuff like that ;o)

Lots of inspiration and talent in New Zealand!

A few weeks ago I was so honoured to be one of the stars in the "Stars in Their Eyes Competition" at the Scrappin' Patch Store in New Zealand! They are running this great challange where each of their designers choose a "star" (International designer) where their member have to scrap in this star's style. And I had the huge honour of being one of their stars! *so proud* :)
A part of being "their star" was also to be the judge of all the layouts for the competition the week I was "their star", and I had to find three winners. And THAT wasnt any easy job! Wow, the scrappers in NZ has lots and lots of talent, and I suggest you all to drop by their gallery here (You probably have to log in/create an account) and check out all the works for the challange! Isnt there MUCH inspiration and amazing works?!

Thank you so much Scrappin' Patch for letting me be your star, it has truly been an huge honour, and thank you all of you for showing me all your talent! And good luck with the contest everyone! ;o)

I've had some really fun time creating a layout with Scrapware designs and the latest palette from The Color Room, palette #19. Here is this week's beautiful color palette from TCR, {Sun Room};

And here is my take on the palette with Scrapware designs on;

And some close-ups;

Beautiful title chipboard "Unique" from Scrapware covered with pattern paper from Onirie!

I just love this "Photo Corners Decorative" chipboard corner from Scrapware! Perfect to embellish with and on, and you can use all kind of techniques on the chipboard design.

Beautiful flying birds from one of Oniries amazing pattern papers!

Scrapware products used on this layout; Photo Corners Decorative #PC02 (chipboard corner) and Unique (title).

The picture on this LO is from a photo shoot we had inside an old house earlier this year, my little "model daughter" is really unique and I love this photo of her, so I think the great "Unique" title from Scrapware really did fit this layout.

What are you Looking Out at my friend?

Hi everyone.

Some months back I created a layout and a card for a huge 13-pages article in a great Russian mag called Scrap Info. The article was about Prima and was published in their issue Nr.1 2010.

Here is the layout I created for the article, and in the blog post below you can see the card I made;

And, of course, some close-ups ;o)

The layout is about my daughter and a kitty cat she had, but so sadly dissapeared last year. On the picture on the layout you can see them both sitting in front of a window in our front door, looking out. Her kitty really wants to go outside, and my daughter wonder what she's is looking out at. On the last close-up here you can see a small picture of her hands inside the window stamp image, where she is helping her kitty out. The journaling is in Norwegian and says "Do you want to go out Pusi"?. Pusi was our kitty's name.
