Passion for ProMarkers Week 13

PASSION FOR PROMARKERS

Sorry for my design team card being up late, I'm going through a break up and not everyday is top notch. Hopefully I will get my mojo back and be crafting 24/7 very soon.

This week SUE has chosen Lavender, Lilac, Amethyst and Aubergine for you to work with, but you have the option of choosing 2 of the colours. I used three, Lavender, Lilac and Amethyst for my card and this is how it turned out:

Recipe:

• Stamps: Gorjuss Girl, Norsk Stempelblad -13B
• Pattern Papers: MME Bohemia - Bella "Pretty Little Girl" Mini Harlequin/Brown
• Embellishments:
• Tools: Retro flower punch,
• Medium: Glue, ProMarkers: Blush, Dusky Pink, Amethyst, Lilac, Lavender and Ivory.

This weeks sponsor is Letraset and they are offering a set of 5 markers to one lucky winner! So get you creative pants on and colour away! :)

Sukkersøtt Jubileumsutfordring #1

The second challenge at Sukkersøtt celebrations challenge was to make a folding card with your own twist! And I had a dream about a folding card the other day but cannot remember how it looked, shoot. So I have twisted my brain and came up with this:

Front side
Half way open
Layed down and open
Card fully open

Its a fun fold card and my twist is the inside panel falling down when you open the card, and displays three gorjuss girls. This card was much more time demaning then I had thought. I also choose to use yellow and brown as this is not a combo I use very often :)

Recipe:

• Stamps: Sugar Nellie - Gorjuss Girl Set 2, Kort & Godt - Fødselsdag. Autum Leaves - Swirls
• Pattern Papers: Daisyd's Paper
• Embellishments: Half Pearls, Lace from stash, Pearl Glimmer Mist.
• Tools: Cuttlebug (QK circle nestie), word window punch.
• Medium: ProMarkers: Blush, Dusky Pink, Ivory, Mustard, Gold, Sandstone, Cinnamon, Cocco and Cool Grey 1. White Opaque Pen.

Thanks for looking and I hope you all had a wonderful day. My trip to the physiotherapist went good, but I'm dizzy like a bee. Tomorrows trip to the ciropractor will hopefully cure that! :) If someone only could heal my stomach I would be the happiest camper on earth! :)

Passion for ProMarkers Week 4

PASSION FOR PROMARKERS WEEK 4

I must say I think the weeks are flying by a little bit to fast for me to follow, I'm scared this is going to happen to summer to and then in early September I'm going to pissed cause summer went by to quickly. Or maybe I just have to move to California or Miami.. :p

This weeks challenge at the Passion for ProMarkers blog was a hard one, I had to dig deep in my stash to find papers to match BERRY RED & ROYAL BLUE. But I did find one of my first blocks of paper and think it turned out okey so here it is:

On the Gorjuss girl I have used the blender pen a bit to make the coloring more highlighted as I didn't have any lighter red or blue to match for shadows. I have also used Bazzill CS, Karen Foster DP, ribbon from stash, Gorjuss girl colored with ProMarkers: Blush, Dusky Pink, Sandstone, Cinnamon, Cocca, Berry Red, Royal Blue and Blender, Brads from MM, Flowers from Retro punch, Prima and stash, Metal charm, Blue ink and Spellbinders Nestie Label Three.

2S4Y Laura's Sketch 26

How much more simple can it be? I am on a C&S roll today I think.. Hehe.
Laura has made a great sketch at 2 Sketches 4 You, and I think I will do more cards with the sketch.
I've also decided to use scraps for the thank you cards I'm making for my grandmothers funeral. We received so much flowers so we have a lot of people to thank. She loved colors so having them in different colors will just be a nice thing :)



I just love the Spellbinders nestabilities. I got label two & three in the mail yesterday from my cousin Louise, thank you so much sweetie! :)

And lets not forget the Card Showdown going on in 12 days over at 2 Sketches 4 You!!

Have a great evening! :)

Tablecards & Nameparty cards

With all that has been going on the last two weeks things have been hectic for me and making the table cards for the name party has fell down on my list. But today I got to finish them (last minuet since the party is tomorrow, hi hi) And thats not all, I also took on to make a card from Joachim's grandmother. Its a good thing Joachim and Scott (my cousin's husband) were away to visit a Norwegian fire station so that the ladies could stay at home. Joanne (one of my cousins) helped me out with both embellishing the flowers and gluing them on.

I have used the scraps from the invitations to make them!

Here's how they turned out:

I am really tired so I tried to keep the other cards clean and simple in the style and I love the purple color on them! So lets hope Camilla (Joachim's sister) will like them to!
Here's how they turned out:

Good night to you all, my bed is screaming for me! I just have to get the bunad (Norwegian national suit) out so its not so cold to put on tomorrow!!

Cupcake Craft Challenge 38 - Numbers

I just realized that I call last weeks challenge for 38 and not 37. Wops. But this week is 38 and the challenge is NUMBERS at the Cupcake Craft Challenge!! Which was a perfect match for me as I have to make a card for my darling cousin Oleane who is turning 3 at the end of the month. Its Claire that has set this challenge and you might want to check out her blog for more of her gorgeous cards!! Her card for last weeks challenge was one of my fave to! :)

I have become a fan of Kraft card stock lately so I have used it on this card to, with some green and orange, I just love the Blow & Grow CS from MME.

So here's how my card turned out:


Hope you like my card! :)

Today is going to be a hectic day. I have to take my cousins to the bank so they can exchange some dollars for kroner. Set up all the table and chairs for all the people that are coming to our house after the funeral tomorrow, clean, bake, iron white table cloths (the most boring part) and run errands here and there. Puh, its going to be a long day. But thankfully my cousins are helping out so Mom & I wont be alone doing it all.

Hope you all have a wonderful day, the sun is shining bright here in Norway!

Gorjuss Clock

When I'm at my Mor, as I like to call her (my fathers mother) I never can tell the time, because she does not have a wall clock anymore so I took the matter in my own hands and made her this simple Gorjuss girl clock. Used the beautiful papers from MME and colored a Gorjuss girl from Set 2 to match and made the numbers with thickers from American Craft.

Here's how it turned out:

Thank you to those of you how have left me comments about my granmother passing away, they are greatly appriciated. Now I'm off to bed, got to get up early and pick up my cousin that are coming for the funeral. It will be nice to see them again, Joanne was here visiting us this summer but Louise I havent seen since I was in Denver 11 years ago.

Thanks for visiting my blog and for all the other wonderful comments about my cards and projects!
