Another purple card ;)

Hi all, I coloured this image at work today with the intention of making a card for my sweet cousin who is turning 6 in September. I made a card with the sketch from SKETCHY COLORS, so this card will be my entry for this weeks challenge! (and yes its my 5th purple card this week. You can imagine how trilled I am about purple at the moment, hihi)

Thanks for looking! :)

Double trouble

 Today I want to share with you two cards I made for two different challenges but I'm cramping them into the same post as I'm a bit lazy tonight. Both cards are ordered by my Aunt and she wanted something purple. I had been shopping a week in advance and had these gorgeous Magnolia papers lying all ready for me to get creative with. So it was a great excuse ;) 
The first card is for SKETCH SATURDAY where they had this fabulous sketch that I just tilted the elements of a bit and added a square instead of a circle image.    

 

 

   The second card is also a easel card, using Laura's sketch 60 @ 2 SKETCHES 4 YOU. The style of the 2S4Y girls is very different from mine, but I felt inspired to try and keep it "simple" and therefore my front side of this card is without a image. I have placed the image on the inside instead.

Lucky me got a goodie bag from Wenche @ Korthobby.no with the most gorgeous charms, asking if I could make some cards for her to show cast with the charms. And who was I to say no ;) So I have used charms under the text for my first card and in the flowers for my second card. So make sure you vist her shop and check out all the gorgeous (and at a very good price to) charms!! ;)
Thanks so much for looking and I hope you all will have a wonderful weekend. I'll be at work playing with the Copics and having demo's if you want to drop by! :)   

LOTV - Challenge 63

 Puh, the craft fair this weekend has been so much fun. Its always nice to meet the people behind the blogs and not at least to meet the people you already know but don't get to see so often. And I had a blast filling up the Copics rack time after time during the weekend and will have fun at work tomorrow when I'll be filling it again and hopefully during the week will have placed all 334 different colours into the web shop! (Puhh, I feel exhausted already, lol) Oh and check out the Christmas collection that Gudrun from 3ndy Papir released yesterday. It right up my ally and I'm guessing when I raid the paper shelf's at work tomorrow we will need a refil!! ;) 
BUT, what I wanted to show was a card I made with the sketch from LOTV that I want to enter in their challenge no. 63. I have fallen in love with this cute teddy and can unveil that he will be on most of my Christmas cards this year! ;) 

A closer look of the gorgeous charm 

Supplies used: Papers are from Graphic 45, the ribbons were a gift from screppa, the heart button is from my grandmother, the super cute snowflake charm is from Korthobby, edge punch from MS, some scrappers floss, sticker letters from Jenni Bowlin and heart half pearls from Storyteller.   Thanks for looking and have a wonderful weekend (what's left of it anyways!!) 

UPDATE - CARD - CLASSES ++

The girls at work asked if I had forgotten about my blog lately and I have to admit it has not been a big priority for the last month or so. But I have been crafting on and off between everything else that has been going on. I'm still working on my new craft room. I'm only missing the worktop and for my brother to come around and pull the wires for the lightings. I'm looking for a good daylight lamp, so if you know of any good cheap once, leave me a comment (with Norwegian outlet) I have also attend numerous Volkswagen shows this summer and the last one was last weekend at Gardermoen International Raceway. That is the event that is closest to  my heart as it is only 15 away from my house and being arranged by friends. I had such a great time catching up with other international friends and getting to drive my bug on the drag strip for the very first time. It was such an amazing feeling, and I even took home a HUGE trophy and a money prize for being "Rookie of the Year" on the drag strip. At work things are starting to get back to normal after summer holidays. We have a class plan uploaded and within 24 hours we had about 6 full classes so we have turned our heads to find dates for extra classes, I love that people are so eager to attend my classes as I find it so much fun to teach them. I'm really looking forward to a fully booked fall and winter.

{Friday Sketchers} - Card for Lloyd

Tomorrow I'm off to Lloyds b-day party, he is turning 4 years old and is one of my fave kids! But it had been ages since I made either a kids card or anything for boys, so it took some time to figure out what to make, but with the great sketch at FRIDAY SKETCHERS I soon figured out what to do. PapilioStamps meet up with my Tim Holtz stash and wolla: 

 

  The image is coloured with ProMarkers (Ivory, Blush, Dusky Pink, Pastel Pink, Satin, Pastel Beige, Kakhi, Oatmeal, Apricot, Honeycomb, Sandstone, Cinnamon, Cocoa, Cool Grey 1, Warm Grey 2 and 4)  Thanks for looking and I hope you all will have a fab week. This weekend is the annual Volkswagen show at Gardermoen International Racceway so I'll be meeting up with friends from around the world. Cannot wait to see everyone and to test my car on the drag strip!! (If I dare...!!!)

Sketchy Colors #33

Since I'm in the processes of getting my new craft room into shape I'm lucky enough to work at a craft shop, so today I played around and made a card using this weeks sketch at SKETCHY COLORS.The card is on display at STEFFENS in Kongens gate 15, Oslo if you want to have a look.  The stamp is from PAILIOSTAMPS, papers from Basic Grey (Olivia), flower from Prima, bird from a Tim Holtz dies, text from Minnehjørnet and some stickles from Ranger.

Sorry for the bad photo :/
I have also been busy colouring samples for my FALL classes that I will be teaching at STEFFENS, so if you want to learn more about colouring either with PROMARKERS or COPICS drop me an e-mail (idamelby@gmail.com) and I will contact you once the dates for the different classes are finalized.   Thanks for looking and for your kind comments!
