I moved...

2011-02-16T10:51:00.002+01:00

Jeg har ellers været rigtig glad for Blogger. Fantastisk at man kan have en blog med så mange muligheder helt gratis. Men...jeg er nu aligevel flyttet. Det var der mange forskellige grunde, og ingen af dem har jeg tænkt mig at kede dig med her. Min nye blog kan du finde hvis du følger linket nedenunder. Første post der er allerede oppe. Jeg er dog stadig ved at flytte ind, så undskylder byggerodet.
I've been real happy with Blogger. Think it's amazing you can have a blog with so many options for free. Still...I moved. Many different reasons facilitated my move, none of which I'll bore you with here. You can find my new home if you follow the link below. First post there is already up. I am still moving in though, so sorry for the mess.

All that matters

2011-02-10T06:40:00.001+01:00

Lavet i forbindelse med Spacious kapitlet i Building Pages kurset hos Get It Scrapped. Det blev dog ikke helt så Spacious som det skulle, da min journaling fyldte en del.
Made in connection to the Spacious chapter in the Building Pages class at Get It Scrapped. It didn’t get quite at spacious as it was supposed to though, since my journaling took up a lot of space.

Baggrundspapir fra My Minds Eye Haunted serie (uha den var lækker!). Nogen gamle BasicGrey rester. Jeg kan ikke huske hvor jeg har blonden fra. Bogstaverne er stanset ud på min Big Shot med et gammelt Quickkutz alfabet.
Background paper from My Minds Eye Haunted collection (loved that collection). Some old BasicGrey scraps. I can’t remember where the lace’s from. Letters cut on my Big Shot using an old Quickkutz alpha.

Blingen er fra Prima, en pearl fern jeg skar op i mindre dele. De 3 blomster på billedet ovenover er alle hjemmelavede. Bogstaverne har fået et lag Pebeo glitter touch i sort.
The bling’s from Prima, a pearl fern I cut into smaller pieces. The 3 flowers in the picture above is all homemade. The letters got a layer of Pebeo Glitter Touch in black.

Winter days

2011-02-09T10:00:00.001+01:00

Endnu et layout i forbindelse med Building Pages kurset hos Get It Scrapped. Det gik dog sine egne veje, så kan ikke rigtigt hægte det på nogen specifik del af kurset .
Another layout made while following the Building Pages class at Get It Scrapped. It took on a life of its own though, so can’t really place it to any specific part of the class .

Papirene og titel bogstaverne er fra Zoe Pearns Winter Wishes digi kit. De små bogstaver er fra BasicGrey, sværtet med Tumbled Glass distress ink. Titel bogstaverne har fået Crystal glitter fra Martha Stewart. Blonden er fra Wild Orchid Crafts Snefnugne er skåret ud på Silhouetten og har ligeledes fået Tumbled Glass distress ink, og Martha Stewart Tinsel glitter i Crystal.
Papers and titel letters are from Zoe Pearns Winter wishes digi kit, The small letters are from BasicGrey, inked with Tumbled Glass distress ink. Titel letters have a layer of Martha Stewart Fine glitter in crystal. The lace is from Wild Orchid Crafts. The snow flakes have been cut using my Silhouette, and inked with Tumbled Glass distress ink, and received a layer of Martha Stewart Tinsel glitter in crystal.

In my heart

2011-02-08T11:43:00.001+01:00

Jeg har modtaget et par blog awards fra Charlie og Lone. Tusind tusind tak piger, det er jeg helt utroligt glad for. Desværre er jeg rigtig dårlig til at give dem videre, da jeg ikke kan begrænse mig til 3. Der findes alt for mange dygtige, inspirerende og bare helt igennem søde mennesker derude.

Et af billederne vi fik taget af Marie Baes fra Minder For Livet i foråret (2010). Jeg var/er så glad for billedet, at det faktisk var svært at scrappe. Synes ikke jeg kunne gøre det ‘godt nok’ til billedet. Men nu er det scrappet, og jeg er okay tilfreds med resultatet.
One of the pictures Marie Baes from Minder For Livet took in the spring (2010). I was/am so happy about this picture, I found it really difficult to scrap. Didn’t think I could do it justice. But now It’s glued to paper, and I am okay happy about the result.

Titlen har jeg selv lavet (til et af mine gamle digi kit) og printet på en transparent. Papirene er fra DCWV’s Rustic serie samt lidt fra BasicGreys Basis serie. Silhuetten fik lov at udskære grenene og journaling bloggen (som jeg godt er klar over er tom, det var bare lidt privat det jeg gerne ville skrive der). Har brugt en del forskellige Martha Stewart punches: Vintage Lace, Single Heart, Monarch Butterfly og 3 in 1 Classic Butterfly. Alle kanter sværtet med Vintage Photo distress ink.
The titel is homemade (I made it for an old digi kit), and printed it on a transparency. The paper’s from DCWV’s Rustic collection as well as a little piece from BasicGreys Basis collection. My Silhouette cut out the branches and the journaling blog (and yes, I know it’s empty, but it’s a bit private, what I want to write there). Have used various different Martha Stewart punches: Vintage Lace, Single Heart, Monarch Butterfly and 3 in 1 Classic Butterflt. All edges inked with Vintage Photo distress ink.

Get well soon–Burton style

2011-02-07T14:47:00.001+01:00

Hos The Burtonesque Dolls lyder udfordringen at man skal lave et god bedrings kort, i Tim Burton stil. Og det er jo lige mig. Tænkte først jeg ville lavet et kort med en skelet og en kiste (*snicker*), men blev så inspireret af Rosas lækre kort med Tim Holtz stemplet, at jeg måtte lave et ‘ala det’.
Over at The Burtonesque Dolls this weeks challenge is to make a Get Well card, Tim Burton Style. And that’s right up my alley. At first I thought I’d make something with a coffin and a skeleton (*snicker*), but was so inpired by Rosas gorgeous card with the Tim Holtz stamp, I had to make something ‘like that’.

Jeg kan desværre ikke helt huske hvilke copics jeg brugte, og jeg glemte at skrive det ned (*rødmer*). Men stemplet er Drama Queen fra Tiddly Inks.
I’m afraid I can’t remember exactly which copics I’ve used, and I forgot to write it down (*blush*). But the stamp is Drama Queen from Tiddly Inks.

Ellers er det Tim Holtz papirer fra Lost & Found serien, og også hans Poison stempel jeg har brugt.
I’ve used Tim Holtz papers from the Lost & Found collection, and also his Poison stamp.

Magnolia-Licious & Wild Orchid Crafts Challenge

2011-02-04T16:09:00.001+01:00

Så denne udfordring hos Magnolia-Licous, og blev med det samme super inspireret af deres billede, så her er mit ‘take’ på udfordringen. Hos Wild Orchid Crafts er udfordringen ‘Love is…’og da jeg havde en Valentin Tilda i tankerne til kortet, var det helt naturligt at kobinere de to.
Saw this challenge at Magnolia-Licous and was instantly inspired by the gorgeous photo, so here’s my ‘take’ on the challenge. At Wild Orchid Crafts the challenge is ‘Love is…’, and since I had a Valentine Tilda in mind for my card, it felt natural to combine the two challenges.

Copics and Prismacolors used: Skin E13, E11, E02, E00, E000, Peach, Light Peach, Beige, Pink, Carmine Red. Hair E31, E35, E57, E29, Warm Grey 90%. Tag E43, E42, E41, E40, E35, E33, E31, French Grey 70%. Dress YR02, YR00, YR000, R02, R00, R000 French Grey 50%. Chair E40, E41, E42, E43, E44, E47, E49, French Grey 50% and 90%. Carpet YR21, YR20. Wood panel E47, E35, E33, E31, Warm Grey 70% and 90%. Wall R000, G0000, French Grey 20% and Pebbles Chalks Basic Brights yellow. Stamps are Tilda with Tag and Arm Chair from Magnolia. Flowers on wall are from a Prima stamp and the picture is a mix a various small stamps.

Mønsterpapiret er fra TCP Studios Grandma’s Attic serie, det brune papir er fra Tim Holtz Lost & Found serie. Roserne er fra Wild Orchid Crafts, og det er blonden også. De små roser var oprindeligt hvide, men har fået lidt Tattered Angels Wheatfields glimmer mist.
The designer paper is from TCP Studio Grandma’s Attic collection, the brown paper’s from Tim Holtz Lost & Found collection. The roses are from Wild Orchid Crafts and so’s the lace. The small roses were all originally white, but have been misted with Tattered Angels Wheatfields glimmer mist.

Endnu et ‘easel card’, de er stadig mine favoritter. Der er lidt Diamond Stickles på de små roser, og ‘blingen’ er fra Prima (en pearl fern jeg har klippet i stykker).
Another easel card, they’re still my favorites. There’s a little Diamond Stickles on the little roses, and the bling’s from Prima (a pearl fern I cut apart).

Family…I don’t know

2011-02-04T08:05:00.001+01:00

Har alle disse lækre billeder af min oldefamilie og længere tilbage. Men de er ikke alle lige nemme at scrappe, da jeg ikke altid ved hvem der er på eller hvor det er fra. Indtil jeg fandt ud af, at det var da også et ‘emne’ at scrappe.
Have all these gorgeous pictures of my grat grandmothers family and back. But they’re not always that easy to scrap, since I have no clue who’s on or from where the picture is taken. Until I kinda figured that was a topic to scrap as well.

Tja, titlen er skåret på Silhouetten og baggrundspapiret samt journaling bloggen er fra Tim Holtz. Og ellers er der bare hældt på at ting og sager jeg kunne finde i mine gemmer.
Hmm, well the titel is cut using my Silhouette and the backgroundpaper and journaling block are from Tim Holtz. The rest is stuff I’ve found lying around in my stash.

Hopscotch

2011-02-03T10:29:00.001+01:00

De fleste af de layouts jeg viser her på bloggen lige for tiden, er ved at være ‘gamle’, for selvom bloggen har været stille har jeg stadig været kreativ. Har bare ikke kunne overskue også at opdatere her. Det skulle februar gerne lave om.
Most of the layouts I show here these days, are actually somewhat ‘old’, cause even though the blog has been quiet, I have still been creative. Just haven’t had the energy to update here. Hopefully february changes that.

Men dette layout er helt nyt. Jeg har købt Building Pages hos Get It Scrapped, som handler om forskellige scrapbooking stilarter og design. Selvom jeg ved meget af det der står i pdf’en, er jeg stadig super glad for jeg købte den. Meget inspirerende, og da jeg følger alle udfordringerne deri, kommer jeg også til at lave layouts i en anden stil end min typiske. Og jeg elsker at prøve noget nyt.
But this layout is new. I bought Building Pages at Get It Scrapped, which talks about different design styles. And even though most of the information in the pdf is already know to me, I am super happy I bought it. It’s very inspiring, and since I follow the challenges in it, I get to make layouts different from my typical style. And I love trying something new.

Som dette layout f.eks., hvor der skulle være et tydeligt blocked/grid design. Og selvom det ligger et stykke fra min normale stil, er jeg blevet rigtigt glad for det. Det er simpelt og enkelt, og har stadig en masse søde detaljer.
Like this layout for instance, where it should be obvious it was amde having blocks/grids in mind. And even though it’s somewhat far from my typical style, I actually quiet like it. It’s simpel and clean, and still have loads of cute details.

Synes designet passede perfekt til billeder af Bel der hinker paradis, og så fik jeg brugt noget af mit gamle scrap papir, som jeg stadig er helt vild med, men kun har små stumper tilbage af.
Think the design was perfect for pictures of Bel playing Hopscotch, and I got to use some of my old scraps, of papers I absilutely love but only have little pieces left.

Sommerfuglene er punchet med Martha Stewart punches og har fået lidt Diamond Stickles langs kanten.
The butterflies are punched using Martha Stewart punches, and have a little Diamond stickles along the edges.

Born to be Wild

2011-02-02T07:35:00.001+01:00

Ja, hun er ikke bange af sig, min lille pige. Hun var helt ked af at hun IKKE måtte tage en tur på den i sommers.
Yeah, she has no fear bone in her body, my little girl. She was all sad she WASN’T allowed to take a trip on it this summer.

Titel skåret ud på Silhouetten. Blomsterne er fra ScrapFactory, store bling fra Prima. RubOns fra 7 Gypsies. Papir fra Prima. Titel bogstaver sværtet med Dusty Concord, Forest Moss og Vintage Photo distress ink og embossed med Vintage Photo distress embossing pulver.
Titel cut on my Silhouette. Flowers from ScrapFactory, big bling from Prima. RubOns from 7 Gypsies and paper from Prima. Titel letters are inked with Dusty Concord, Forest Moss and Vintage Photo distress ink, and embossed with Vintage Photo distress embossing powder.

Grandma Day

2011-02-01T16:23:00.001+01:00

En del af dette års julegave til farmoren. Bel elsker farmor dage (dage hvor hun har fri fra børnehaven og farmor er her hele dagen), og jeg ville egentligt gerne vise det i et layout.
A part of this years christmas present for grandma (on daddys side). Bel loves grandma days (where she’s home from day care and grandma is here spending all day with her), and I really wanted to capture that on a layout.

Papir fra BasicGreys Capella serie. Titel skåret ud på Silhouetten. Prima Bling og blomster. Den helt store blomst er dog fra en blomsterforretning. Martha Stewart Vintage Lace punch.
Papers from BasicGreys Capella collection. Titel cut on my Silhouette. Prima bling and flowers, apart from the great big one (which is from a flourist). Martha Stewart Vintage Lace punch.

2011-02-01T09:01:00.003+01:00

Først vil jeg gerne lige sige tusind tak til alle jer der deltog. Det blev til 11 ialt, 10 her og 1 per email. Super lækre kreationer, der kommer til at glæde en masse mennesker. Tak :)

Benita!

Tillykke Benita. Kan jeg få dig til at emaile mig din adresse til lina@shiska.dk, så sender jeg premien så hurtigt som muligt.

Jeg satser på at der her i februar kommer lidt mere liv i bloggen. Og det er da bestemt ikke sidste gang jeg laver sådanne en blogcandy.

Tirsdagsklubben...

2011-01-20T11:21:00.001+01:00

...holdes i dag, og ja, jeg ved godt det er torsdag :) Og hele dagen, frem til klokken 22, er vi i ScrapFactory. Så den står på scrap scrap scrap, og muuuuuuligvis lidt shopping og sladder. Måske ;)

Kommer du forbi?

Blogcandy du skal arbejde for ;)

2011-01-18T10:06:00.002+01:00

Først vil jeg lige sige tak for alle de varme ord og hilsner jeg har fået, både her og på Facebook. Tusind tak!

Men nu til det vigtige – blogcandy! Hvis man kan kalde det det. For du skal arbejde lidt for den. Jeg er en stor tilhænger af Operation Skriv Hjem, selvom jeg sjældent for lavet så meget dertil som jeg gerne ville. Men…nu har jeg ryddet op i mit scrap lager og besluttet mig for at donere det til Operation Skriv Hjem. Hvad har det med en blogcandy at gøre?

Jo…for at vinde denne premie:

…skal du lave et eller andet til/for Operation Skriv Hjem. Du kan lave et kort, farvelægge et motiv, tilbyde at sætte kort sammen eller donere nogen af dine gamle scrapsager. Det er sådan set ligegyldigt hvad, blot det kan bruges. Og ‘mængden’ er også ligegyldig, du kan nøjes med at donere et stykke papir hvis du synes.

Læg et billede op på din blog når du er færdig, og vend så tilbage hertil og læg et link til den blog post i mit kommentar felt (link ikke til hele bloggen, kun selve den post hvor dit Operation Skriv Hjem ting er i). Hvis du ikke har nogen blog, så email mig på lina@shiska.dk.

Tirsdag d. 1. februar (som er min datters fødselsdag) trækker jeg lod blandt alle deltagerne. Så husk at komme tilbage den dag og se om du har vundet. Hvis der ikke er nogen deltagere, går premien til Operation Skriv Hjem, men jeg håber da meget i gerne vil være med.

Og her er så et par billeder af det jeg donere. Glemte desværre at tage billede af de farvelagte stempelaftryk.

I dag sagde jeg farvel...

2011-01-14T17:26:00.005+01:00

...og en del af mit hjerte forsvandt. For idag døde Nora. Hun er ikke den første kat jeg har sagt farvel til, og hun er heller ikke den sidste. Men hun er nok den eneste der vil gøre så ondt.
For Nora var den baby jeg aldrig fik. Det bløde, levende væsen jeg ikke fødte på hospitalet. Hun kravlede helt tæt ind til mig, puffede mig på kinden med sin lille snude, og lagde sig spindende til rette, da jeg kom hjem fra hospitalet uden min datter.
På mange måder har hun været der hele mit liv, for mit liv er et andet, jeg er en anden, efter Katarinas død.
Men nu er hun der ikke mere, og jeg skal finde vej gennem sorgen over et væsen der følelsesmæssigt var mere end et kæledyr.
I dag sagde jeg farvel...igen.

So silent it's almost loud

2011-01-12T14:28:00.003+01:00

Jeg undskylder mange gange for at være så stille her, som jeg er. I aften starter jeg igen på nogen nye piller. Så håber jeg de virker bedre end de sidste ;). Et meget forsinket glædelig jul og godt nytår.
I'm very sorry for being so quiet. Tonight I'm trying a new kind of medicine. Hope it works better than last time ;) A very late merry christmas and happy new year to you all.

Frimærkestuen 2010

2010-11-24T06:59:00.001+01:00

Jeg er lidt stille lige for tiden – jeg har fået nogen nye piller mod søvnløsheden, og har åbenbart vundet at få de fleste bivirkninger med i handlen. Jeg er så heldig! ;-p- Så jeg får ikke kommenteret eller kommet så meget rundt på nettet, lige for tiden.

Synes altid sådanne gruppe billeder er svære at scrappe. Så mange forskellige farver. Men synes de orange og grønne farve i Sassafras Lass papiret var super til lige præcis den type billeder.
Always find group pictures so hard to scrap. So many different colors. But think the orange and green colors in the Sassafra Lass paper was perfect for this kind of picture.

Den lange grønne stribe papir er printet, alt andet mønster papir er fra Sassafras Lass. Titlen er stemplet med Spiced Marmelade og Mustard Seed distress ink. Blomsterne er hjemmehæklet og halvperlerne farvet med copics. Bingopladerne er fra et ScrapFactory Crop, hvor vi spillede Bingo. Jeg satte bitte små krydser, så jeg kunne genbruge pladerne. Så ikke alene en chance for at vinde nogen fede premier, men også lidt lækkert gratis pynt!
The long green stribe of paper is printed, rest is Sassafras Lass paper. Titel stamped with Spiced Marmelade and Mustard Seed distress ink. The flowers are home crocheted and the half pearls are colored with copics. The bingo paper are from a ScrapFactory crop, where we played Bingo. I marked the numbers with tuny crosses so I could reuse the paper.

18 years

2010-11-23T08:33:00.001+01:00

Billeder fra min 18 års fødselsdag, som vel efterhånden var en milliard år siden.
Pictures from my 18 year old birthday, which feels like it was a billion years ago.

Fik brugt en masse rester, hvilket jeg altid synes er fantastisk. Det behøver ikke nødvendigvis være det nyeste eller mest populære for at lave en fin side. DCWV papiret (det lyserøde) er printet. Rammen til årstallet er skåret på Silhouetten og sværtet med Victorian Velvet og Bundled Sage distress ink.
Used a lot of old scraps, which I always think is fantastic. Doesn’t have to be the newest or most popular to make a pretty page. The DCWV paper (the pink) is printed. The frame for the year is cut on my Silhouette and inked with Victorian Velvet and Bundled Sage distress ink.

Yet another christmas card

2010-11-22T07:49:00.001+01:00

Men bare rolig, der burde ikke komme så mange flere – jeg sender som regel kun julekort til den nærmeste familie.
But don’t worry, am getting to the bottom of my christmas cards, since I useally only send them to the closest family.

Copics: Skin E11, E02, E00, E000. Beard C5, C3, C1, C0. Clothing R39, R29, R27. Boots & Mittens C10, C9, C7, C5. Buckles & Glasses Y28, Y26, Y21. Bricks E18, E17, E15. Background painted with Scattered Straw and Chipped Saphire distress ink. Stamps are Chimney with snow and Santa hand out presents from Magnolia.

Roserne, som er fra Wild Orchid Crafts, har fået lidt guld embossing. Papiret er fra BasicGreys Jovial serie (en 6x6 pad).
The roses, which are from Wild Orchid Crafts, have been gold embossed. The paper’s from BasicGreys Jovial collection (a 6x6 pad).

Indeni har jeg brugt Spellbinders Fancy Tags, som egentligt var et impulskøb, men hold da op hvor er jeg blevet glad for den.
Inside I’ve used Spellbinders Fancy Tags, which was definitely impulse shopping, but wow I’ve been using it so much.

Halloween

2010-11-19T07:36:00.001+01:00

Jeg elsker Halloween. Eeeeeeeelsker Halloween. Heldigvis er jeg ikke den eneste.
I love Halloween. Looooooooooove Halloween. Luckily I am not alone.

Titlen og journaling træet er skåret ud på Silhouetten, og karton i baggrunden er fra mit lager. Resten, både papir og pynt, er fra BasicGreys Eerie serie. Dusty Concord og Marigold distress ink. Charoite glimmer fra Martha Stewart.
Titel and journaling tree is cut on the Silhouette, and the cardstock is from my stash. Rest, paper and embellishment, are from BasicGreys Eerie collection. Dusty Concord and Marigold distress ink. Charoite glitter from Martha Stewart.

Box for somebody

2010-11-18T07:33:00.001+01:00

Tak for alle de søde kommentarer med Magnolia puslespillet. ScrapFactory får blanke puslespil hjem i forretningen, jeg vil tro en gang i næste uge.

Har ingen anelse hvem denne lille æske er til. Nu er den lavet, og så kan jeg vel fylde den med chokolade og give den væk som værtindegave.
No clue who’s going to bet this box. But now it’s done, and I guess I can fill it with chocolate and give it away as a hostess present or something.

Blomsterne er fra Wild Orchid Crafts. Papiret fra Tim Holtz Vintage Shabby serie. Blonden er fra Prima. Bladene er farvelagte med Copics, så de matchede projektet.
Flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts. Paper from Tim Holtz Vintage Shabby collection. The lace is from Prima. The leaves are colored with Copics to match the project.

Magnolia puzzle

2010-11-17T07:22:00.001+01:00

Har disse hvide/tomme pusle spil, som Isabel får lov til at tegne og male på som hun lyster. Men for at gøre det lidt mere spændende for hende, har jeg på nogen af dem stemplet på først. Synes især Magnolia stemplerne egner sig rigtigt godt til det.
Have these white/empty puzzles, that Isabel gets to draw and paint on. But to make it more interesting for her, I sometimes stamp on them first. Think that the Magnolia stamps are very suitable for projects like these.

Efter jeg har stemplet, typisk med StazOn eller Memento, tegner jeg stemplerne op med en vandfast pen bagefter, så billedet kommer endnu tydeligere frem.
After stamping with either StazOn or Memento, I draw in the lines with a waterproof pen, so the images stand out even more.

Ny copic video

2010-11-16T12:53:00.003+01:00

Popper bare lige ind for at fortælle at der er en ny Copic video på ScrapFactorys bog. Du kan finde den her: Flere copics.

Og så lige mens jeg husker det...
Anne: Nej, jeg skanner aldrig mine kort (eller layouts). De er som regel for høje til at det bliver pænt. Så langt de fleste billeder på min blog er taget med mit kamera.
Jayne: Ja...og nej. Han var min, men jeg måtte sælge ham sidste december da jeg blev for syg til at have hest. Håber dog 2011 bliver året hvor det kan lade sig gøre igen :)

Rigtig god mandag alle sammen, og tusind tak for alle de søde kommentarer.

Worth waiting for

2010-11-16T06:43:00.001+01:00

Startede dette layout til Halloween crop hos ScrapFactory. Enkelt og simpelt, og nok i virkeligheden meget min stil.
Began this layout at Halloween crop at ScrapFactory. Simpel and probably very much my style.

With Love

2010-11-15T09:16:00.001+01:00

Et kort der lige så stille udviklede sig. Og jeg endte egentligt med at blive ganske godt tilfreds med det.
A card that slowly developed. And I ended up being quite satisfied with it.

Copics: Skin E21, E51, E000, E50, E0000. Purples BV02, BV01, BV00, BV000, BV0000, V09, V06, V04, V01, V000, V0000. W3, W0 and a mixed color: E40+0. Background painted with H20 Heavenly White and English Lavender. Stamp is Ching-Chou Kuik’s Purple Hearts from Sweet Pea Stamps.

Magnolia-licious #1

2010-11-12T10:49:00.001+01:00

Magnolia-licious har startet deres egen udfordrings blog, med en ny udfordring hver 14. dag ca. Og de skifter mellem en farve udfordring og en inspirations udfordring. Her først gang er det en farveudfordring med gul og pink. Her er mit bidrag til udfordringen.
Magnolia-licious has started their own challenge blog, changing every other week, alternating between a color challenge and an inspiration challenge. The very first one was a color challenge, using pink and yellow. So here’s my try at it.

Copics: Skin E11, E02, E00, E000. Hair E18, E17, E15, E13. Dress Y38, Y35, Y32, R22, R21, R20. Crown Y28, Y26, Y21. Rose R39, R37, R35, YG99, YG97, YG95. Stamp is Maid Marrion Lady Tilda from Magnolia.

Har haft lidt svært ved bruge de Tim Holtz papirer der er delt in i 2x2 firkanter. Men istedet for at bruge dem som 2x2 firkanter, har jeg besluttet mig for at behandle papiret som alt andet møsnterpapir, og så blev det pludslig meget nemmere. Og synes de små firkanter er perfekte til kort.
Have had some difficulties using the Tim Holtz papers that’s 2x2 squares all over. But instead of using it as little 2x2 squares, I’ve decided to treat it as any other kind of designerpaper, and once I had that thought it became really easy to use. And do think those little squares are perfect for cards.

Et staffeli kort som ikke går hele vejen op når man folder det. Synes det er sådan en sød ‘overraskelse’. Martha Stewart Doily Lace punch. Skelet blade. Organza bånd. Pumice Stone distress ink langs alle kanterne. Tim Holtz Vintage Shabby papir.
An easel card that doesn’t go all the way up when you fold it. Thought that was a nice surprise. Martha Stewart Doily Lace punch. Skeleton leaves. Organza ribbon. Pumice Stone distress ink along all edges. Tim Holtz Vintage Shabby paper.

I’m 2 sexy…

2010-11-11T07:16:00.001+01:00

Mit halloween kostume 2009. Det var ganske underholdende at lave (masken altså, min mor syede resten), og endnu sjovere at have på.
My halloween costume 2009. So entertaining to make (the mask that is, my mom made the rest), and even more fun to wear.

Mønsterpapir fra BasicGreys Eerie serie. Sort gesso til journaling spot og malet langs kanterne. Blomsten er hjemmelavet.
Designerpaper from BasicGreys Eerie collection. Black gesso for journaling spot and along the edges. The flower is homemade.

Kenny K’s Krafty Gilrz #18

2010-11-10T09:36:00.001+01:00

Alt andet end en firkant – det var denne uges udfroding hos Kenny K’s Krafty Girlz. Og da jeg så Bev’s super lækre DT projekt, var jeg nød til at kopiere ideen. Så her er et julekort mere, også til en mand.
Anything but a square – that was this weeks challenge at Kenny K’s Krafty Girlz. And when I saw Bev’s gorgeous DT project I just had to copy the idea. So here’s yet another christmas card, also for a guy.

Det er farvelagt her mens jeg har været syg. Det var ikke nogen god ide kan jeg godt se nu. Oh well, så gik tiden da med det. Og nej, vi er ikke blevet raske endnu
I colored it in while being sick. I can tell from the above picture, that wasn’t the best idea I’ve gotten so far. Oh well, at least it was a fun way to pass time. And no, not feeling well yet

Just Magnolia #80

2010-11-09T08:03:00.001+01:00

Denne uge hos Just Magnolia lyder udfordringen på Anything Goes, men der må gerne være perler på. Øver mig stadig på at farvelægge efter Chrissy’s video’er, så her er endnu en prinsesse Tilda. Anne: Du kan finde Chrissys video på at lave skyerne her.
This week at Just Magnolia the challenge was Anything Goes with the added option of using pearls. Still practising to color afte Chrissys videos, so here’s anotehr princess Tilda.

Vi er stadig syge her, så jeg er lidt stille lige for tiden. Bloggen vil dog blive opdateret jævnligt, da jeg har en masse poster liggende som kladder. Jeg er nok bare ikke så snaksalige med kommentarer.
We’re still sick here, so I’m abit quiet these days. The blog will be updated, cause I have a lot of posts lying around as drafts. I’ll just not comment much in the near future.

Something new

2010-11-08T07:54:00.001+01:00

Efter at have set Chrissy Ls video’er på hendes blog Paper, Ink, Color var jeg nød til at finde mine Prismacolors frem igen og kombinere dem med Copics. Og her er resultatet.
After watching Chrissy Ls videos on her blog Paper, Ink, Color I just had to dig out my Prismacolors and combine them with my Copics. Here’s the result.

It’s not the first time I’ve played with colored pencils on top of copics, but it’s the first time I am this happy about the result. Need to get some lighter greys though, I only have 90% (and one 70%).

Copic Creations #38

2010-11-05T06:01:00.001+01:00

Endnu et herre kort – denne gang til en fødselsdag. Og så kunne jeg jo lige kombinere det med Copic Creations udfordring #38, som gik ud på at bruge de brune toner og/eller lave ‘en scene’. Jeg gjorde begge dele.
Yet another ‘man card’ – this time for a birthday. And now that I was ad it, I might as well combine it with Copic Creations challenge #38, using brown colors and/or making a scene. I did both.

Copics: Oops, once more I forgot to write it down. Though I remember using E30, E34, E42, E41, E40 and W5 for the small bricks and E31, E33, E35 and E57 for the wood. Stamp is Heidi by Victoria Case and Castle Window by Magnolia.

Kenny K’s Krafty Girlz #17

2010-11-04T05:56:00.001+01:00

Skulle lave et julekort til en mand. Og Kenny K’s fantastiske digi stempler passede helt perfekt hertil. Så her er mit bud på Kenny K’s Krafty Girlz udfordring #17, som var “Anything goes”.
Had to make a christmas card for a guy. And Kenny K’s amazing digi stamps are perfect for this. So here’s my take on Kenny' K’s Krafty Girlz challenge #17, which were “Anything goes”.

Copics: I forgot to write it down – sorry! Stamp is XMas Hottie from Kenny K.

Har brugt papirer fra BasicGreys Jovial serie. Har købt en 6x6 pad. Har ellers længe syntes det var noget pjat, så kunne jeg lige så godt bare investere i 12x12 udgaverne, men må indrømme at jeg er ved at forelske mig i de små papir pakker. Båndet var oprindeligt sort og hvidt, men farvet med en Copic R27.
Used papers from BasicGreys Jovial collection. Bought a 6x6 pad. Been avoiding these for quite some time, since I always figured I should get the 12x12s instead, but must admit I am falling in love with these little paper packs. The ribbon was originally black and white, but colored it in with Copic R27.

A friendship begins

2010-11-02T05:54:00.001+01:00

Det var bare super hyggeligt til Crop hos ScrapFactory igår. Jeg fik selvfølgelig købt meget mere end jeg havde regnet med, blandt andet 12 Martha Stewart glitter mere, Martha Stewart punch, Spellbinders og papir. Og så fik jeg lavet nedenstående layout, og begyndt på et andet.

OSH Kort

2010-10-25T08:47:00.001+02:00

Noget mere ‘simple’ end de kort jeg normalt laver, men tænkte at enkelt også har sin plads. Og at det måske på den måde kunne passe til flere. Så her er 10 kort til Operation Skriv Hjem.
Somewhat more simpel than I useally make, but thought that was okay to. And that maybe they would fit more people this way. These are all meant for the danish soliders in Afghanistan.

King of Fish

2010-10-22T07:22:00.001+02:00

Dette layout var en udfordring til mig selv, hvor jeg gerne ville have farverne og de enkelte dele til at ‘blande sig sammen’ med hinanden. Det lykkedes nogenlunde.
This layout was a challenge to myself, where I wanted the colors to blend together. Succeeded somewhat.

A smile that stops time

Er så glad for mit nye kamera, det tager bare super gode billeder. Og det bliver jo kun bedre når datteren glad stiller op som model.

Real Men

2010-10-19T06:28:00.001+02:00

Jeg har lige lagt en post op på ScrapFactorys blog om at komme igang med Copics. Så hvis du er i tvivl, og ikke rigtigt ved hvor du skal starte, er det måske et godt udgangspunkt.

Og så et meget enkelt layout – men kan egentligt godt lide den stil.
A very ‘simpel’ layout – but do quite like that style.

Den blå stjerne, som er skåret på Silhouetten, er ikke helt så lys i virkeligheden – men af en eller anden grund gik glimmeret lige i kameraet. Glimmerert er selvfølgelig Martha Stewarts Lapis Lazuli. Papirene er fra BasicGrey, og bogstaverne fra Prima.
The blue star, which is cut on the Silhouette, isn’t quite as bright in real life. For some reason all the glitter went directly into the camera. The glitter is off course Martha Stewarts Lapis Lazuli. Papers from BasicGrey and letters from Prima.

Best Friends

2010-10-18T09:31:00.001+02:00

Skal snart til endnu en foto dag hos Minder For Livet. Har stadig ikke fået brugt alle de fantastiske billeder fra sidste gang vi var afsted i foråret, men her er da et layout med et af dem på.
Soon going to another photo shoot day at Minder For Livet. Still haven’t used all the gorgeous photos from last time, but here’s a layout with one of them.

Bows & Brads

2010-10-15T08:29:00.001+02:00

Denne uges udfordring hos Sweet Pea Stampers er Sløjfer og/eller Brads. Jeg valgte at bruge begge dele på dette Halloween kort. Endnu engang fik jeg brugt et digi billede fra Ching-Chou Kuiks egen hjemmeside, så dette kort kan heller ikke deltage i konkurrencen.
This weeks challenge at Sweet Pea Stampers was Bows and/or Brads. I chose to use both on this Halloween card. Yet again I used one of Ching-Chou Kuiks digi images from her homepage, so this card can’t participate in the challegne.

Copics: Skin: E21, E51, E000, R20. Hair: E50, Y21, Y26, Y28. Hat + Dress: V17, V15, V12, C9, C7, C1, C0. MakeUp: B66, B63, B0000. Eyes: B99, B97, B41, B0000, 0. Lips: R35, R32, 0.

Endnu et super skønt billede taget af Marie Baes fra Minder For Livet.
Yet another gorgeous picture taken by Marie Baes from Minder For Livet.

Mønster papir fra Webster’s Pages (tror jeg nok). Roserne er fra Wild Orchid Crafts, de var røde og hvide, men gav dem et lag Burnt Red glimmer mist for at få dem til at passe bedre. De små roser var oprindeligt hvide, men er dyppet i en hjemme blanding (Black Soot Distress ink + Heirloom Gold perfect pearls). De ‘flade’ blomster var også hvide oprindeligt, men sprayet med Cinder glimmer mist. Foto hjørnet er skåret ud på Silhouetten, sværtet sort med Black Soot Distress ink, og derefter fået et lag Onyx glitter fra Martha Stewart. Samme behandling var de store bogstaver igennem, som også oprindeligt var hvide. De er fra Tattered Angels Framed Fonts Postage Stamps. De små bogstaver er fra Kaiser Craft.
Designer paper from Webster’s Pages (I think). Roses from Wild Orchid Crafts, they were red and white, but gave them a layer of Burnt Red glimmer mist, to make them match better. The small roses were originally whit, but I dipped them in my own blend (Black Soot Distress Ink + Heirloom Gold Perfect Pearls). The ‘flat’ flowers were also white to start with, but have been sprayed with Cinder glimmer mist. The photo corner is cut using my Silhouette, then inked with Black Soot Distress ink and a nice thick layer of Onyx glitter from Martha Stewart was added. The big letters went through the same treatment. Also white originally and from Tattered Angels Framed Fonts Postage Stamps. The small letters are from Kaiser Craft.

Once upon a time

2010-10-13T09:11:00.001+02:00

Et af de lidt ‘svære’ layouts at lave, men synes selv det blev rimligt fornuftigt.
One of the more ‘difficult’ layouts, but think it turned out reasonably.

Blomsterne har jeg fået af Annette i fødselsdagsgave. De blev pyntet med brune micro perler fra Martha Stewart, og det er helt sikkert ikke sidste gang jeg gør det. Er vild med resultatet.
The flowers are a birthday gift from Annette. They were embellished with brwon micro pearls from Martha Stewart. And it’s definitely not the last time I do that. I love the result.

Missed it

2010-10-12T06:06:00.001+02:00

Kortet her var egentligt lavet til Sweet Pea Stampers udfordring, hvor man skulle bruge en charm. Men 1. jeg havde ikke en charm jeg synes der passede. Lavede en på Silhouetten og guld embossede den, men ved ikke om det var okay. 2. Stemplet er fra Ching-Chou Kuiks egen hjemmeside, og ikke købt gennem Sweet Peas, så nok ikke godkendt. Og sidst, ja så nåede jeg ikke at få det færdigt inden deadline. Så det var bare en udfrodring jeg tydeligvis ikke skulle deltage i. Her er kortet dog aligevel.
This card was made for a Sweet Pea Stampers challenge, where you were to use a charm. But 1. I didn’t have a charm I thought matched the card, so made my own on the Silhouette and gold embossed it. But not sure that was allowed. 2. The stamp is from Ching-Chou Kuiks own homepage, and not bought through Sweet Peas, so pretty sure it wasn’t accepted. And 3. I didn’t manage to get the card finished before dealine. Guess this was just a challenge I wasn’t meant to participate in. Here’s the card anyway.

Copics: Skin: E21, E51, E50. Hair: E49, E47, E44, E42. Cloth: Y32, Y35, Y38. Leaves: Y21, YG97, YG93, YR68, YR65, E49. Grapes: V99, V95, 0. Flowers: R89, R85, E95, E79. Eyes: G28, G24, G21, G20, W10, 0.

Diamond Stickles i håret, Martha Stewart Crystal Fine glitter på vingerne og 3d lak på øjnene.

A new family member

2010-10-11T06:34:00.001+02:00

Ja, jeg ved godt der har været meget stille her på bloggen, og det er der rigtigt mange forskellige årsager til. En af dem er et nyt familie medlem, som kan ses på layoutet nedenunder. Hun hedder Ding! (ja, det staves med udråbstegn :)).
Yeah, I know my blog has been very quiet lately, and tehre’s many different reasons as to why. One of them is a new family member, as shown on the layout below. Her name is Ding! (yes, it is spelled with an exclamation mark).

Titlen er skåret ud på Silhouetten. Blomster og blonde er fra ScrapFactory, og det er den lækre lækre guld glimmer også. Prima papirer.
Titel cut using the Silhouette. Flowers and lace from ScrapFactory, and so is that delicious golden glitter. Prima Papers.

Jeg kan desværre ikke love at der nu igen vil ske en masse på min blog, da der stadig sker meget i mit liv lige for tiden. Men jeg skal nok prøve at holde den lidt bedre opdateret.
I can’t promise a lot will go on, on my blog again, since so much is happening in my life these days. But I’ll try to keep it updated a bit better than late.

Glitter girl

2010-09-13T07:28:00.001+02:00

Ja, det er nok umuligt for mig at komme uden om….jeg.elsker.glitter :). Først dog, tusind tusind tak allesammen, for en helt fantastisk dag til Scrap’n’Dream i lørdags. Der blev selvfølgelig shoppet lidt (hos ScrapFactory ;-)), så nu er jeg den glade ejer af endnu mere glitter :)))).
I guess it’s impossible for me to hide, I love glitter :). Thanks everybody, for a marvelous day at Scrap’n’Dream. Did some shopping off course (at ScrapFactory ;-)), so now I’m the happy owner of even more glitter :))))

Jeg vil så sige at jeg var ikke klar over jeg havde brug for det lyserøde glitter og de lyserøde micro perler, men datteren var ikke tvivl ;-).
I’ll say I didn’t know I needed the pink glitter and the pink micro beads, but my daughter held no similar doubts :)

Og så vandt jeg jo! På lodtrækningen. Og ikke alene vandt jeg, jeg vandt også den bedste ting jeg kunne – de skønneste Tim Holtz stempler.
And I won! At the lottery. And not alone did I win, I won the best things I could – Tim Holtz stamps.

Mon ikke jeg var et stort smil i meget lang tid. Igen tusind tak piger, for en rigtig dejlig dag. Glæder mig til februar.
I was one big smile for quite some time. Thanks again girls, for a fantastic day. Looking so much forward to february.

Sweet Pea Stampers - Flowers

2010-09-02T09:43:00.001+02:00

Sweet Pea Stampers udfordringen vil fremover kun komme hver 14. dag istedet for en gang om ugen. Det er lidt trist, var/er glad for at deltage. Må bare finde andre undskyldninger for at farvelægge mine Ching-Chou Kuik stempler :). Nå men, denne uges udfordring hed Flowers, så jeg valgte at bruge nogen af alle mine doily blomster jeg har lavet.
Sweet Pea Stampers challenge change from once a week to only every other week. It’s a little sad, cause I was/am happy to participate. Just have to find other excuses to color in my Ching-Chou Kuik stamps :). This weeks challenge was Flowers, and I chose to use some of my homemade doily flowers.

Copics Skin: E11, E51, E000. Hair: E49, E57, E47, E55. Clothe: G85, G82, YG00, YG0000. Eyes: G28, G24, G21, G20. MakeUp: E37, E35, E34. Lips: E39, E37, E35. Stamp is Enchanting Gold from Sweet Pea Stamps.

Mocha karton fra Bazix. Cappella Libretto fra BasicGrey. Rammen bag motivet samt de 2 ‘hjørner’ er skåret ud på Silhouetten og farvet med Olive Vine og Chocolate Covered Cherries glimmer mist. Blomsterne er hjemmelavet og doily blomsterne er mistet med Sweet Clover og Gold glimmer mist. Den store har også fået Martha Stewart Florentine Gold chunky glitter. De 2 mørke grønne blomster er lavet af kaffefiltre og farvet med Crushed Olive distress ink (så vidt jeg husker). Kanter sværtet med Walnut Stain distress ink. Selve motivet har fået lidt Diamond Stickles i håret samt en lille smule Black Diamond stickles som eyeliner.

The frame behind the motif as well as the 2 ‘corners’ are cut using my Silhouette and colored with Olive Vine and Chocolate Covered Cherries glimmer mist. All flowers are homemade, and the doily flowers are mistet with Sweet Clover and Gold glimmer mist. The big one has been further embellished with Martha Stewart Florentine Gold chunky glitter. The 2 dark green flowers are made using coffee filters and colored with Crushed Olive distress ink (I think). Edges inked with Walnut Stain distress ink. The stamped motif has gotten some Diamond Stickles in the hair and a tiny bit of Black Diamond Stickles as eyeliner.

Color Combos Galore 157

2010-09-01T07:23:00.001+02:00

Jeg er begyndt at følge Color Combos Galore udfordringerne. De er sjove, anderledes og så er de udfordrende (svære) – helt fantastisk. Denne uges udfordring var følgende 4 farver: Pink, Kraft, White og Black. Super når man har en lille pige som mig :) Designer’s challenge var metal, og som altid var der også et billede at blive inspireret af. Her er mit resultat.
I’ve started following the Color Combos Galore challenges. They’re fun, different and very challenging (tough) – love it.

Designer’s challenge was metal, and as always tehre were a picture to be inspired from. Here’s my take on it.

Karton er Pink Icing fra Bazix. Mønsterpapiret er fra My Mind’s Eye Meadowlark og fra Primas Flight of Fancy serie. Blomsterne er hjemmelavet, de har fået lidt Martha Stewart Crystal glitter samt Spun Sugar distress ink. Kanterne er sværtet med Pumice Stone distress ink.

And a close up of the big flower. The glue isn’t quite dry yet in the middle.

Status for August

2010-09-01T07:22:00.001+02:00

Super måned, måske især fordi jeg endelig fik mit kamera, og meget mere tid til at være kreativ.
Awesome month, specially so because I finally got my camera and had much more time to be creative.

Layouts: 7
Cards: 9
Videos: 2
Art Journal pages: 7
Other: 1

Og så tænkte jeg at, jeg også ville begynde at tælle sammen hvor meget jeg er nået op på ialt, med layouts og kort. Jeg har dog ikke talt siden starten af året, så det er ikke det korrekte tal for 2010.
And I thought I’d start counting how much I’ve done in total, with layouts and cards. I haven’t counted since the very beginning of the year, so it isn’t to accurate for 2010 though.

Layouts: 76
Cards: 40

I september tager jeg et tegne kursus og forhåbentligt også et foto kursus. Og så skulle mit At Home With Claudine Helmuth kursus også slutte der. Men ellers har jeg ikke de vilde planer, ud over at få taget en masse billeder og rigtigt lære det nye kamera at kende.
In september I’m taking a drawing class and hopefully also at photography class. And my At Home With Claudine Helmuth class ends in september. Other than that I don’t really have anything planned, except taking a lot of pictures with my new camera.

Rich after all

2010-08-31T05:00:00.001+02:00

Endnu en Art Journal video. Så et billede i det seneste H&M katalog, som i den grad inspirerede mig.
Another Art Journal video. A picture in the latest H&M catalogue inspired me greatly.

Og så selvfølgelig lige et (ordentligt) billede af siden.
And then off course a picture of the page.

Why is that?

2010-08-30T09:57:00.001+02:00

Så super skønt billede af Isabel, taget af fotograf Marie Baes fra Minder For Livet. Det fanger virklig hendes nysgerrighed og lyst til at vide vide vide mere.
Such a gorgeous picture of Isabel, taken by phtographer Marie Baes from Minder For Livet. It really captures her curiosity and desire to know know know more.

The Burtonesque Dolls - Vincent

2010-08-27T15:27:00.001+02:00

Troede ikke jeg kunne nå at være med, men udfordringen hos The Burtonesque Dolls blev forlænget med en uge. Denne gang var det Tim Burton’s Vincent. Jeg ville egentligt have lavet et ‘drenget’ kort, men da jeg faldt over huset her i mit digi stempel bibliotek, måtte jeg bare lave en Art Journal side.
Didn’t think I could make it this time, but the challenge at The Burtonesque Dolls were postponed a week. This time it was Tim Burton’s Vincent. I wanted to make a boyish card, but when I found this house in my digi stamp library I knew I had to make an Art Journal page.

Copics: T5, T3, E09, E07, E19, Y26, E59, E57, E55. Stamp is Home Sweet Home from Tiddlyinks.

Sort gesso, uha det er godt :) Hvid gesso og mat Mod Podge. Hvid gel pen, sort kuglepen. Og så noget af teksten fra Vincent rimet.

I hand sown around the edges, and sew in pearls. Took a little while, but looks so cute. The roses, which are all from Wild Orchid Crafts, have been decorated with Martha Stewart glitter in Purple Saphire and Lapis Lazuli. Edges inked with Tumbled Glass and Dusty Concord distress ink.

Blonden er også fra Wild Orchid Crafts og halvperlerne er fra Hero Arts. Mønsterpapiret er fra Tim Holtz Vintage Shabby serie. Kartonet er fra Bazix, det grønne fik lige en tur gennem min Big Shot sammen med en Cuttlebug embossing folder.

Skissedilla #74

2010-08-25T07:41:00.001+02:00

Denne uges Skissedilla udfordring – en skitse jeg er helt vild med. Den kan jeg godt se mig selv bruge flere gange.
This weeks Skissedilla challenge – a sketch I completely love. Definitely gonna use it again.

Karton fra Bazix, papir fra Prima, men jeg kan ikke huske hvilken serie. Gesso og Pink Bubblegum glimmer mist. Tea Dye og Walnut Stain distress ink. Martha Stewart glitter i Florentine Gold, både fint og chunky. Hero Arts halvperler.

Art Journal Inspi video

2010-08-24T08:27:00.001+02:00

Jeg savner bare mit gamle video redigerings program. SÅ MEGET. Men det ville bare ikke fungere på min nye computer. Så lige nu lever jeg med Windows Movie Maker og Windows Live Movie Maker. Anyway – har da fået bikset en inspirations video sammen.
I miss my old video editing program. SO SO MUCH. But it just wouldn’t work on my new computer. So right now I am learning to cope with Windows Movie Maker and Windows Live Movie Maker. Anyway – did get this lil inspirational video put together.

Music is Sky Crashing by George Ellinas at CCMixter.

Og her er et billede af siden i ordentligt lys (og med mit nye kamera :)). Filmen er optaget med det gamle.
And here’s a picture of the page in proper lighting (and with my new camera :)). The move is shot using my old camera.

Og så lige endnu en side jeg lavede den anden dag. Har noget med brune nuancer lige for tiden.
And here’s another page I made the other day. Have a thing fro brown nuances these days.

Skissedilla bonus and present :)

2010-08-23T07:47:00.001+02:00

Opdagede lige at Skissedilla havde en bonus opgave, med deadline i aften klokken 22. Så den fik jeg lige lavet igår. Meget anderledes stil end jeg plejer at lave, men synes det passer rigtigt godt til billedet.
Just found out yesterday, that Skissedilla had a bonus assignement, with deadline tonight at 22. So managed to get it done yesterdat evening. Very different style of what I useally makes, but I think it suits the picture perfectly.

Det er godt nok længe siden jeg har stemplet titlen, men igen, synes det passede perfekt til både billedet og layoutets stil. Gesso langs kanten og bagved billedet, Tim Holtz Going Somewhere stempler. Papiret er fra Sassafras.
It’s been quite a while since I last stamped the titel, but again, think it fits the layout and he picture perfectly, Gersso along the edges and behind the picture. Tim Holtz Going Somewhere stamps. The paper’s from Sassafras.

Og så kom min fødselsdagsgave med posten fredag aften. YAY! Jeg havde fødselsdag i sidste måned, og vi bestilte den faktisk før selve dagen. Men efter megen besvær (og 3 forskellige forretninger) er den endelig ankommet. Mit nye kamera.
And my birthday present arrived with the mail man friday evening. YAY! My birthday was last month, and we ordered it before that. But after much trouble (and 3 different stores) it finally arrived. My new camera.

Og du havde da helt ret Kristina (selvfølgelig havde du det :)), 500D kan også tage HD video (ingen anelse om hvorfor de forsøgte at bilde mig andet ind). Vi valgte aligevel den store model. Jeg ville gerne have den ekstra opløsning og at lcd skærmen er i 3:2 format.
And you were right Kristina (off course you were :)). 500D can shoot HD video as well (no clue why they tried to tell me otehrwise). Still, we chose the bigger model. I wanted the extra resolution and needed the 3:2 format of the lcd screen.

Sweet Pea Stampers

2010-08-20T09:21:00.001+02:00

Nåede ikke sidste uges udfrodring hos Sweet Pea Stampers, den var ellers lige mig. I denne uge var udfordringen Swirls & Floursihes.
Didn’t manage to get last weeks challenge at Sweet Pea Stampers done in time. It was so me though. This weeks challenge was Swirls & Flourishes.

Copics Skin: E21, E51, E000, R20. Hair: V15, 100, C9, C7. Dress: V17, V15, V12, C7, 0 V000, V0000. Eyes: V17, V15, V12. MakeUp: W5, W3, W1. Lips: V000, 0. Leaves: YG95, YG93, YG91. Roses: V12, V000, V0000. Background colored with Twinkling H2Os. Stamp is Ching-Chou Kuik’s Love is gone from Sweet Pea Stamps.

Mine swirls er lavet med Inkadinkado stempler og hvid embossing pulver. Rammen bag motivet er skåret ud på Silhouetten, farvet med Black Soot distress ink og Haunted Shadow glimmer mist. Båndet er fra gemmerne, men tror nok jeg fik det i en ClubScrap pakke tilbage i 2008.
My swirls are made using Inkadinkado stamps and white embossing powder. The frame behind the motif is cut on my Silhouette, colored with Black Soot distress ink and Haunted Shadow glimmer mist. The ribbon’s from my stash, but I believe it’s from an old ClubScrap kit back in 2008.

Jeg beklager lyset og de kraftige skygger, det var ikke så nemt at tage billeder idag – enten var det for mørkt, ellers også var det for lyst. Jeg har brugt karton fra Bazix, og designerpapir fra BasicGreys Eerie serie fra sidste år. Roser og blade er fra Wild Orchid Crafts. Den store rose var oprindelig pink i midten, men gave den lidt farve med min V17 Copic pen. Og så (selvfølgelig) noget Martha Stewart glitter i Charoite (kan købes hos ScrapFactory). Dew drops er også fra gemmerne. Alle kanter sværtet med Black Soot distress ink.
I apologise for the light and the harsh shadows, it wasn’t very easy to take pictures today. It was either to dark or to bright. I’ve used cardstock from Bazix and designerpaper from BasicGreys Eerie collection from last year. Roses and leaves are from Wild Orchid Crafts. The big rose had originally a pink center, but I colored it in with my V17 Copic pen. And then (off course) some Martha Stewart glitter in Charoite (you can buy it at ScrapFactory). Dew drops from my stash. All edges inked with Black Soot distress ink.

Imorgen er det mandens fødselsdag, så jeg vil bruge dagen idag på at lave kort til ham :)
Tomorrow it’s hubbys birthday, so I’ll spend the day today on making cards for him.

At Home With Claudine Helmuth Week 2 and 3

2010-08-19T07:21:00.001+02:00

Uha jeg er bagud med dette kursus. Uge 8 starter i morgen, og jeg er først lige blevet færdig med uge 2 og 3. Sjovt som man intet når i ferien. Håber at få lavet uge 4 og 5 i dag dog.
I’m so behind on this class. Week 8 starts tomorrow, and I’ve just gotten week 2 and 3 done. Funny how you get nothing done during vacation. Hoping to get week 4 and 5 done today.

Hver uge er der nye teknikker og et projekt man kan lave. Den første uge var det et canvas (du kan se det her). Jeg har valgt at arbejde videre på mit canvas, så hver uge tilføjer jeg flere af de nye teknikker. Kan godt lidt lure jeg nok er nød til at lave 2 canvas, men er meget spændt på hvordan det ender op med at se ud.
Every week theres new techniques and a project to do. The first week was a canvas (you can see mine here). I’ve chosen to keep on working on the canvas, adding the new techniques as I learn the,- Thinking I’ll probably need to make to canvas, but very exited to see how it ends up looking.

De 3 nye teknikker i uge 2. Watermark resist pad, ‘watered down’ akrylmaling, sticky back canvas, stort smil hos mig :) Så sjovt at arbejde med, selvom jeg havde lidt svært ved at få det til at se ordentligt ud i starten.
The 3 new techniques in week 2. Watermark resist pad, watered down acrylic paint, sticky back canvas, a big smile on my face. So fun to work with, allthough I had some troubles in the beginning.

Uge 2s projekt. Meget anderledes kort end jeg normalt laver. Der var ikke meningen vi skulle bruge glitter, men nu har jeg jo lige fået hænderne i al det lækre Martha Stewart gliter, sååå….
Week 2s project. Very different card than I useally make. We weren’t supposed to use glitter, but since I’ve just gotten my greedy hands on all that gorgeous Martha Stewart glitter….

Uge 3 teknikker, og nu begynder mit canvas at ligne noget. Og Jan er en kam fattigere :)).
Week 3 techniques and now my canvas starts looking like something. And Jan is short one comb :)).

Og uge 3s projekt. Farverne er ikke lige mig, men ideen er rigtg sjov. Her er det et canvas, men kunne sagtens have været et kort, eller en sjov scrapbook baggrund.
And weeks 3s project. The colors ain’t really me, but the idea is so much fun. This is a canvas, but it could have been a card or a fun scrapbook background.

Gutter Girlz prompt #41

2010-08-18T09:13:00.001+02:00

Min første Gutter Girlz side. Har længe fulgt bloggen, men først nu fået taget mig sammen til at være med. Det blev til en Art Journal side, og jeg er temligt godt tilfreds med den. Jeg kender ikke sangen, men linien “Where the green grass grows” fik mig til at tænke på at ‘græsset er altid grønnere på den anden side af hegnet’, og så havde jeg AJ siden.
My first Gutter Girlz page. Have been following the blog for some time, just never found the time to actually follow a prompt. But today I made an Art Journal page, and I’m mighty pleased about it. I don’t know the sone “Where the green grass grows” but it made me think of the line “ the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence”, and then I had the page in my mind.

Flere Art Journal sider, som jeg bare aldrig har fået vist her. Da jeg aldrig helt kan huske hvad jeg har brugt, da jeg ofte arbejder på mange sider af gangen og over flere dage, har jeg ikke nogen produkt liste. Men du er velkommen til at spørge, hvis der er noget specifikt.
More Art Journal pages, I just never got to upload here. Since I can never quite remember what I have used, cause I work on several pages at a time, over several days, I don’t have any product list. But you’re welcome to ask if there’s something specific you’d like to know.

Skissedilla #73

2010-08-18T08:01:00.001+02:00

Lidt tid siden jeg sidst deltog i en Skissedilla udfordring, men nu skulle det være. Så endnu et heritage layout, denne gang af min tipoldefar Rasmus.
A bit since a last participated in a Skissedilla challenge, but here’s another heritage layout of my great great grandfather Rasmus.

Karton er Beach fra Bazix. Mønsterpapir fra Tim Holtz Lost & Found pakke. Uret, visere og filmstrimlen er også fra Tim Holtz. Alle kanter sværtet med Vintage Photo distress ink. Prima felt border. Prima blomster og blomster stanset ud med Tim Holtz Tattered Florals die. Going Somewhere Tim Holtz stempler.

Prima flowers and flowers cut with Tim Holtz Tattered Florals die. Going Somewhere Tim Holtz stamps.

Pencillines Sketch 200

2010-08-17T07:13:00.001+02:00

200 skitse udfordringer er Pencillines nu nået op på. Og det er aligevel en del :) Den var svær denne uge. Skitsen var super god, men der var også et farveskema at følge, og det var ikke så nemt, når nu “man” på forhånd havde besluttet sig for de billeder “man” ville bruge, og det ville “man” ikke lave om på. Blev nu aligevel rimligt tilfreds med resultatet.
Pencillines has reached 200 sketch challenges. And that’s quite a lot :) It was a tough one this week. The sketch was great, but there were also a color challenge, and that wasn’t so easy, when “one” had decided up front which pictures “one” wanted to use, and “one” wasn’t willing to change that. Turned out allright though.

Karton er Dream fra Bazix. Papir fra My Mind’s Eye Meadowlark serie (Circles fra Dawn udgaven). Andre papirer er rester fra BasicGrey Cappella og Prima. Blomsten er hjemmelavet og har fået lidt Martha Stewart chunky glitter (det skal i nok nå at blive trætte af ;-)).
Cardstock is Dream from Bazix. Paper from My Mind’s Eye Meadowlark collection (Circles from the Dawn edition). Other papers are scraps from BasicGreys Cappella collection and Prima. The flower is homemade and was sprinkled with Martha Stewarts chunky glitter.

It’s the little things

2010-08-15T20:34:00.001+02:00

Endnu et 4 i 1 kort. Dette kort er til følgende udfordringer: Copic Creations, Wild Orchid Crafts, Just Magnolia og Simon Says Stamp.
Another 4 in 1 card. This card is for the following 4 challenges: Copic Creations, Wild Orchid Crafts, Just Magnolia and Simon Says Stamp.

Copics: Skin E21, E51, E000, R20. Hair E77, E74, E71, E70. Bathing suit and bows B95, B93, B91. Wings B60. Cat Tails YG95, YG93, YG91, E77, E74, E71, E70. Sun Y15, Y11. Clouds B0000. Wood E57, E35, E31. Water B00, B0000. Reflections E21, E33, E31 Sepia and Black Multiliner 0.1. Stamps are Cat-Tail Foreground from the Summer & Sea 2008 collection and Bridge Deck, African Sun from Pets/Animal collection 2009 and Tilda With Swimsuit from the Party & Vacation collection 2008 all from Magnolia. Sentiment is from Tim Holtz.

Wild Orchid Crafts udfordring hed “One for the girls”. Derfor det lyserøde Bazix karton, Pale pink, og designerpapirer fra Tim Holtz Vintage Shabby serie. Alle kanter sværtet med Victorian Velvet distress ink. Jeg kan ikke huske hvor blonden er fra, men roserne og bladene er fra Wild Orchid Crafts. Martha Stewart glimmer (kunzite, yellow barite og feldspar) på henholdsvis stempel motiverne og roserne. Hos Just Magnolia skulle vi følge en super sød skitse, og den er hermed lagt ned i gemmerne. For det er da ikke sidste gang jeg følger den.
Wild Orchid Crafts challenge was “One for the girls”. Thus the pink Bazix cardstock, Pale Pink, and the designerpaper from Tim Holtz Vintage Shabby collection. All edges inked with Victorian Velvet distress ink. I can’t remember where I got the lace from, but the roses and leaves are from Wild Orchid Crafts. Martha Stewart glitter (kunzite, yellow barite and feldspar) on the stamps and roses. At Just Magnolia we got a super cute sketch this week, and that one has been saved to the harddrive. Cause it’s definitely not the last time I’m using that one.

Simon Says Stamp udfordring lød på “Summertime Blues”, og gik i al sin enkelhed ud på at lave et sommer rpojekt med blå på. Synes bade Tilda med Cat-Tail baggrunden i den grad dufter af sol og sommer, og så fik hun lige blåt badetøj på. Copic Creations udfordring var ‘Reflections’, så det var jo super passende til dette kort. Synes selv det lykkedes nognelunde, men helt sikkert noget jeg skal øve mig mere på.
Simon Says Stamps challenge was “Summertime Blues”, and we were to make a summer project that had blue in it. I think bathing Tilda with the Cat-Tail background is soooo summer and sun, and the I gave her a blue bathing suit. Copic Creations challenge was reflections, and that was perfect for this card. Think I succeeded somewhat, but it’s definitely something I need to practice more.

Lunch

2010-08-15T08:35:00.001+02:00

Et layout mere *gisp*. Dette fik jeg så småt startet på til fredagscropppet hos ScrapFactory. Har længe synes de billeder var svære at scrappe på grund af farverne, og fordi der sker så meget på dem (og jeg ville ikke undvære nogen af billederne), men nu lykkedes det endelig.
One more layout *gasp* This I started at the fridaycrop at ScrapFactory. Been thinking these images was hard to scrap due to the many colors and they’re so busy, and I didn’t wanna use any less than I did. But now I finally succeeded.

Karton fra Bazix. Designerpapir fra Prima. En masse roser fra Wild Orchid Crafts, det er helt rart at få dem brugt :). De store gule blomster er hjemmelavet, jeg skal vist øve mig lidt mere på vride teknikken. Men sætter lige et nærbillede ind af blomsten så i rigtigt kan se glitteret, det er nemlig det Chunky glitter fra Martha Stewart. Du kan få det hos ScrapFactory, det er bare ikke på hjemmesiden endnu.
Cardstock from Bazix. Designerpaper from Prima. A lot of roses from Wild Orchid Crafts, it feels good to get them used. The big yellow flowers are homemade, and I think I need to practice the twist technique some more. But showing a close up of the flower as well, so you really can see the glitter, cause it’s Martha Stewarts chunky glitter. You can get it at ScrapFactory, it’s just not up on the website yet.

Fredagscrop hos ScrapFactory

2010-08-14T20:59:00.001+02:00

Var til Fredagscrop i ScrapFactory igår, og det var bare noget af det hyggeligeste og sjove. Der bliv sludret, grinet, shoppet, grinet lidt mere og ind imellem scrappet, selvom det godt nok ikke var meget jeg nåede.
Went to Fridaycrop at ScrapFactory yesterday, and it was such a blast. We chit chatted, laughed, shopped, laughed some more and in between did some scrapbooking, allthough I didn’t got much done.

Men først til det aller vigtigeste…gaver :))). Perlerne ude til højre fik jeg af Kristina. De er super søde og jeg ved lige hvad jeg skal bruge dem til. Tusind tak :) Af Annette fik jeg en meget sød lille taske, som muligvis også bliver rippet, får er helt vild med Prima blonden ;). Inde i tasken var der en masse skønne ting, og jeg kan helt klart se et mini album på vej :) Tusind tak :).
But first the most important…presents. The pearls at the right I got from Kristina. They are so cute, and I know exactly what I am going to use them for. Thank you so much :) Annette gave me this cute little bag, which most likely will be stripped, cause I soo love that Prima lace ;). Inside were all these little goodies, and I can definitely see a mini album in the making. Thank you so much :).

Selvom langt det meste af tiden gik på at sludre, sludre og så lige sludre lidt mere, så fandt jeg da tid til at bruge lidt penge aligevel. 24 Martha Stewart fine glitter *savle*. De er så smukke de farver. Og så lige 4 Martha Stewart chunky glitter. Uha! Fik jo nærmest et hjertestop da jeg så dem, for hold da op hvor er det glitter bare skønt. Store skønne flager. I får dem sikkert at se i brug i næste post ;). Et styks Watermark Resist ink pad fra Ranger. Den skal prøves. Rygtet siger den er rigtig god. Jeg tror på rygtet ;-). Og så papirer. Hvordan kunne jeg lade være? Jeg mener…Alice i Eventyrland møder Halloween!!! Og en Steampunk serie!!! Synes dog det er lidt uhyggeligt at Graphic 45 sådan roder rundt i min (MIN!) hjerne for at finde inspiration. For skulle jeg lave 2 papir serier, så havde det været de 2. Det hele er købt i ScrapFactory.
Even though most of the time went chitchatting I did manage to find time to spend some money. 24 Martha Stewart fine glitters *drool*. Such gorgeous colors. And then 4 Martha Stewart Chunky glitters. Wow! Almost had a heart attack when I saw them, cause OMG it’s the most gorgeous glitter…evah! Big chunky flakes! You’ll probably see them in use in my next post. One Watermark Resist ink pad from Ranger. Have to try it. Rumour says it’s good. I belive the rumour. And then papers. How could I not? I mean…Alice in Wonderland meets Halloween!!! And then a Steampunk collection!!! Think it’s a bit creepy though, that Graphic 45 rummage around in my (MY) brain to be inspired. Cause if I were to make 2 paper collections, it would have been those two. All bought in ScrapFactory.

Og så nåede jeg da et enkelt layout, inspireret af Gabrielle. Det blev noget mere grønt end jeg egentligt lige havde forestillet mig, men er aligevel nu ganske godt tilfreds med det. Karton fra Bazix, designerpapirer fra Prima. Div blomster, heriblandt kirsebærblomster og solsikke fra Wild Orchid Crafts. Tim Holtz stempel og Forest Moss og Vintage Photo distress ink. Den sorte rub on var en gave fra ScrapFactory til croppet. Martha Stewart Loop punch.
Here’s the one layout I managed to get done, inspired by Gabrielle. It turned out somewhat more green than anticipated, but I kinda like it anyway. Cardstock from Bazix, designer paper from Prima. Various flowers, among which the cherry blossoms and sunflower’s from Wild Orchid Crafts. Tim Holtz Stamp and Forest Moss and Vintage Photo distress ink. The black rub on was a gift from ScrapFactory at the crop. Martha Stewart Loop punch.

Let’s have tea

Favorit Tim Burton film – det var denne uges udfordring hos The Burtonesque Dolls. For ikke ret lang tid siden ville det have været Nightmare Before Christmas, men så kom Alice In Wonderland. Er helt pjattet med den film. Nå ja, er også ret vild med bogen.
Favorite Tim Burton movie – that was this weeks challenge at The Burtonesque Dolls. Not long ago I would have said Nightmare Before Christmas, but along came Alice In Wonderland. Totally, head over heels, madly in love with that movie. Oh, kinda crazy about the book to.

Copics: Skin: E21, E51, E000, R20. Hair: E29, E27, E25, E21. Jacket and Hat: BV25, BV23, BV20, V95, V93, V91, RV95, RV93, RV91, V17. MakeUp: V000, V0000. Eyes: G29, G24, G20, E41, 0. Carf: R85, R00.

Stemplet passede jo helt perfekt til denne udfordring, og er ganske fantastisk at farvelægge. Har endnu ikke fået fingrene i Graphic45’s Alice In Wonderland serie. Den havde ellers passet perfekt. Så valgte at gøre kortet lidt mere sart og feminint med et af BasicGreys Cappella papirer. Den lille journaling blok er fra My Mind’s Eye Meadowlark serie. Blomsterne er fra Wild Orchid Crafts. Alle kanter sværtet med Pumice Stone distress ink. Te potten og banneret er skåret ud på Silhouetten.
The stamp was just perfect for this challenge, and so fun to color. Have still to get my greedy hands on Graphic 45’s Alice In Wonderland collection. Would have suited this card perfectly, but instead I used one of BasicGreys Cappella papers. The small journaling block’s from My Mind’s Eye Meadowlark collection. Flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts. All edges inked with Pumice Stone distress ink. Tea pot and banner cut on my Silhouette.

Elsker lilla. Ganske simpelthen. Lilla! Elsker det! :) Skulle bare lige have det ud ;). Denne uges udfordring hos Kenny K’s Krafty Girlz lød på sommertid. Og jeg er bestemt ikke færdig med hans Gothik Angelz endnu, så her er en lille lilla strand pige. Et ‘mandekort’ i pigefarver. Nævnte jeg, jeg elsker lilla?
Love purple. Period. Purple! Love It! Just had to get it off my chest ;). This week at Kenny K’s Krafty Girlz the challenge was summertime. And I am definitely not done with his Gothik Angelz yet, so here’s a purple beach lady. A ‘guys card’ in girl colors. Did I mention I love purple?

Just Magnolia week 67

2010-08-07T16:06:00.001+02:00

Denne uges udfordring hos Just Magnolia gik ud på at bruge acetat/transparenter. Vi måtte helt selv bestemme hvordan, bare de var der.
This week at Just Magnolia we were to use acetate. It was up to ourselves how we used it, as long as it was there.

Copics: Skin E21, E51, E000, R20. Hair: E77, E74, E71, E70. Dress: RV95, RV93, RV91, V93, V91. Flowers: YG93, YG91, R27, R22. Circlet: Y28, Y26, Y23, 0. Shadow: W3, W1. Halo: B60. Stones: W7, W5, W3, W1, W0. Wood: E35, E31, E43, E57. Stamps are Maid Marion Lady Tilda and Castle Stone Window from Magnolias Fairytale collection 2010.

Har længe gerne ville lave et kort med ‘vindue’ i, og synes Magnolias Castle Window stemplet passede perfekt. Har lagt et lag transparent imellem, som har fået lidt alcohol ink: Denim og Meadow. Jeg ville gerne have det til at se lidt beskidt og gammelt ud.
Been wanting to make a card with a ‘window’ for quite some time, and thought Magnolias Castle Window stamp was perfect for the job. Inserted a layer with acetate, decorated with alcohol ink: Denim and Meadow. I wanted it to look a little dirty and old.

Skar også nogen blomster ud i transparent på Big Shot med Tim Holtz Tattered Florals die. Pyntede kanten med Diamond stickles, en blomst punchet ud med Retro punch (stor og mellem) og til sidst toppet med roser fra Wild Orchid Crafts.
Also cut some flowers in acetate using my Big Shot and Tim Holtz Tattered Florals die. Decorated the edges with Diamond stickles, a flower punched out with Retro Flower punch (large and medium), and topped with roses from Wild Orchid crafts.

Karton er Beach, Christmas Green og Granny Smith fra Bazix. De 2 grønne brugte jeg til at punche bladene ud med, med en quickkutz die og min Big Shot. Designerpapir er fra Tim Holtz Vintage Shabby serie. Martha Stewarts Iron Gate edge punch, og nogen søde bling hjerter jeg har fået foræret. Bogstaverne er hjemme printet og sværtet med Victorian Velvet distress ink.

The designerpaper are from Tim Holtz Vintage Shabby collection. Martha Stewart Iron Gate edge punch and some cute bling hearts I’ve gotten as a gift. The letters are home printed and edged with Victorian Velvet distress ink.

Bookmark it

2010-08-07T15:54:00.001+02:00

Jeg læser og køber mange bøger lige for tiden. Så Copic Creations udfordring denne gang, med at lave noget der havde noget som helst med at læse at gøre, passede mig helt perfekt. Hos Burtonesque Dolls skulle vil lave ‘en af Burton pigerne – victorian style. Jeg valgte at lave Sally fra Nightmare Before Christmas. Oprindeligt ville jeg have lavet et kort der sagdde: “It’s not what you wear, it’s how you wear it.” Synes Sally er bevæger sig med så meget ynde i filmen. Men nu blev det til bogmærket istedet.
I read and buy many books these days. So the challenge at Copic Creations, making something that has anything to do with reading, suited me perfectly. Made this bookmark. At Burtonesque Dolls we were to make one of the Burton girls – Victorian style. I chose to do Sally from Nightmare Before Christmas. Originally I wanted to make a card that said: “It’s not what you wear but how you wear it”- I think Sally is moving with so much grace in the movie. But made the bookmark instead.

Copics: Skin: E21, E51, E000, R20. Hat: T9, T7, T5, T1. Hair: E18, E19, E08. Dreaa: E33, E31, E30. Jacket & Umbrella: Y26, Y23, YR0000, T5, T3. Patches: YG93, YG91, BG96, BG93, R59,0. Lips: R89, 0. Makeup: G21, T3. Bows: YG97, YG93, YG91. Stamp is one I drew myself.

Har brugt Vanilla og Mocha karton fra Bazix. Papir fra Tim Holtz Lost & Found serie. Alle kanter sværtet med Black Soot distress ink. Blomster og blade fra Wild Orchid Crafts.
Used Vanilla and Mocha cardstock from Bazix. Paper is from Tim Holtz Lost & Found collection. All edges inked with Black Soot distress ink. Flowers and leaves from Wild Orchid Crafts.

Sweet Peas & Simon Says Stamp

2010-08-07T15:46:00.001+02:00

Skal snart til at finde på nogen bedre overskrifter. Nå men, her er et kort lavet til Sweet Pea Stampers udfordringen og Simon Says Stamp.
Have to start coming up with some better headlines. Anyway, here’s a card made for Sweet Pea Stampers challenge and Simon Says Stamp.

Copics: Skin: E21, E51, E000, R20. Hair: R59, 100, T9, T7. Dress: R39, R37, R35, R30, W9, W7, W5, 0. Wings: R35, R32, R30, C10. Hearts: R59, 0. Leaves: YG93. Lips: R39, 0. MakeUp: Y26, Y21, Y11.

Hos Simon Says Stamp skulle man lave et projekt ud fra en sang. Jeg valgte Tapping The Vein’s Butterfly – titlen passer jo super godt til motivet, og så er det bare en fantastisk sang.
At Simon Says Stamp the challenge was to make a project from a song. I chose Tapping The Vein’s Butterfly – the titel goes very well with the stamp, and it’s an amazing song.

Sweet Peas Stampers havde en super sød skitse. Jeg nænnede dog ikke at skære billedet yderligere ud, så mit motiv er firkantet istedet for oval, tilgengæld er der en oval indeni til at skrive på. Håber det er godt nok.
Sweet Pea Stampers had a super cute sketch. I couldn’t get myself to crop the image further though, so my motif is square instead of oval. But inside the card there’s an oval to write the text on. Hope that’s good enough.

Karton er Thunder Grey og Bordeaux fra Bazix. Designerpapiret er Luxembourg fra GCD Studios Paris Night serie, samt en rest fra samme serie. Alle kanter sværtet med Black Soot distress ink. Min Elegant Flourishes die fra Tim Holtz har været en tur igennem min Big Shot sammen med en rest fra BasicGreys Cappella serie. Roserne er alle fra Wild Orchid Crafts.

Sidste uge, hos Really Reasonable Ribbon challenge, kom dette kort ind på top 3. Tusind tak piger, jeg er meget beæret over i valgte mit kort. Synes selv det var en fantastisk udfordring, med nogen fantastiske bidrag, så meget overrasket mit kort blev valgt. Og nu vi snakker udfordringer, så er mit bidrag til Really Reasonable Ribbon challenge for denne uge. Kortet er samtidig til Kenny K’s Krafty Girlz udfordring.
Last week, at Really Reasonable Ribbon challenge, this card made the top 3. Thank you so much girls, I am really honored you chose my card. Think it was a fantastic challenge, with some gorgeous contributions and wonderful DT work to inspire. And speaking of challenges, here’s my contribution for this weeks challenge at Really Reasonabel Ribbon. And at the same time for Kenny K’s Krafty Girlz challenge.

Copics: Skin: E21, E51, E000, R20. Hair: T9, T7, T5, T3, T1. Eyes: YG97, YG93, YG0000. Lips: R89, R39, 0. MakeUp: G85, G21, G0000. Dress: C10, C9, C7, C5, C3, C00, R39, R37. Boots: C10, C9, C7, C5, C3, C00. Shadow: W3, W1. Halo: B60. Stamp is Devastatia from Kenny K.

Udfordringen hos Really Reasonable Ribbon var sort og hvid. Det er meget populært lige for tiden. Der måtte godt være en smule farve, men overordnet skulle det være sort og hvidt. Så sort bånd og sort perlebånd fra gemmerne. Sort og hvidt karton fra Bazix. Roserne er fra Wild Orchid Crafts, de var hvide, men har fået lidt Cinder glimmer mist.
The challenge at Really Reasonable Ribbon was black and white. That seems very popular these days. A dash of color was allowed, but the main theme had to be black and white. So black ribbon and black pearl ribbon from my stash. Black and white cardstock from Bazix. The roses are from Wild Orchid Crafts. They were white, but have been painted with Cinder glimmer mist.

Udfordringen hos Kenny K’s Krafty Girlz hed “On The Dark Side”. Tja, der er temlig meget sort på kortet, og ‘hun’ er vist ikke helt uskyldig ;-). Så håber kortet dækker kriterierne. Papiret jeg har brugt er Baroque Paper fra My Mind’s Eye Meadowlark serie. Bogstaverne er hjemmeprintet og sværtet med Black Soot distress ink. Hjerterne er fra Hero Arts.
The challenge at Kenny K’s Krafty Girlz was “On The Dark Side”. Well, there’s a lot of black on the card, and I don’t think ‘she’ is completely innocent and oure hearted ;-). So hope my card covers the criteria. The paper I’ve used is Baroque paper from My Mind’s Eye Meadowlark collection. The letters are ‘home printed’ and inked with Black Soot distress ink. The hearts are from Hero Arts.

Status for July

2010-08-01T12:49:00.001+02:00

Tja, det har været ferie måned, og det kan godt ses på hvad og hvor meget jeg har fået lavet.
Well, it’s been vacation month, and that can bee seen in what and how much I’ve done.

Layouts: 8
Cards: 14
Other: 2

Det gik op for mig at jeg kun tæller det jeg viser her på min blog, og ikke det jeg reelt laver. Så der kan vist lægges lidt til tallet.
I just realised I only count what I show here on my blog, and not the actual amount of what I get done that month. So think you can add a little to the numbers :)

Tak for en dejlig Juli alle sammen, glæder mig til August.
Thank you for a great July all, looking forward to August.

Karen’s Doodles Scandinavian Challenge Week 21

2010-08-01T12:39:00.001+02:00

Hvid i hvid. Det var udfordringen i denne uge hos Karen’s Doodles Scandinavian Challenge. Det eneste der måtte være farve på var stempel motivet. Tog mig aligevel lidt tid at kringle den i mit hoved, men besluttede mig til sidst for at lave et julekort.
White in white. That was the challenge this week at Karen’s Doodles Scandinavian Challenge. The only thing that was allowed to have colors was the stamp. Took me a while to figure out how I’d do that challenge, but in the end I ended up with a christmas card.

Copics: Moose: E59, E39, E37, E35, E33, E31. Hooves: W7, W5, W3. Bow: R39, R37, R35. Wreathe: G29, G28, G24. Lightbulbs: Y15, Y11. Stamp is Christmas Moose from Karen’s Doodles.

Just Magnolia Week 66

2010-07-31T12:59:00.001+02:00

En super sød skitse af Bev var denne uges udfordring hos Just Magnolia. Jeg lavede min cirkel i skitsen lidt større, så jeg kunne få mere ‘baggrundsmateriale’ med.
A super cute sketch made by Bev is this weeks challenge at Just Magnolia. I made the circle somwaht bigger, to get more of the background to show.

Copics: Wall W7, W5, W3, T9, T7, T5, T1, 0. Leaves & Grass: G85, G21. Sun: YR23, YR21, Y23. Sky: B60. Skin: E21, E51, E50. Hair: E49, E57, E35, Y23. Pants: B95, B93, B91. Blouse: R85, R83, R81. Wings: B00, B0000. Shoes: E79, E77, E74, E71, W7, W5. Lilacs: V95, V93, V91. Stamps are African Sun from the Pet/animal collection 2009, Tildas Wall and Tilda with Lilacs, both the Magnolia & Lilac Summer collection 2008. All from Magnolia.

Tildas vinger og solen fik et lag Dimond stickles. Gav en super super sød effekt. Karton er Mulberry fra Bazix. Papiret er alle rester, men mener at huske at de er fra Kaisercraft. Blomster og blade fra Wild Orchid Crafts. Dew Drops kan jeg ikke huske hvor jeg har fra, men nålen er fra en blomsterforretning i Næstved. Alle kanter sværtet med Victorian Velvet distress ink.
Tildas wings and the sun got a thin layer of Diamond stickles. Such a cute effect. The cardstock is Mulberry from Bazix. The paper is all scraps, but think it’s from Kaisercraft. Flowers and leaves from Wild Orchid Crafts. Can’t rememebr where I got the dew drops from. The pin is from a semi local floral shop. All edges inked with Victorian Velvet distress ink.

Det kan vel dårligt overraske at det er endnu et staffeli kort. Tror jeg har fundet ‘mit’ format når det gælder kort :). Er godt klar over at det er mange kort, og ikke ret mange layouts der kommer på lige for tiden. Jeg lover det nok skal ændre sig lidt, når ferien er overstået.
Hardly a surprise that it is yet another easel card. Think I’ve found ‘my’ format, when it comes to cards. I know it’s a lot of cards and not many layouts here on the blog, but I promise it’ll change once the vacation is over.

4 in 1 card

2010-07-28T18:11:00.001+02:00

Kortet her er lavet med 4 forskellige udfordringer i tankerne: The Burtonesque Dolls, Simon Says Stamp, Wild Orchid Crafts og Really Reasonable Ribbon challenge.
This card is made with 4 different challenges in mind; The Burtonesque Dolls, Simon Says Stamp, Wild Orchid Crafts and Really Reasonable Ribbon challenge.

Copics: Skin E21, E51, E50. Hair: C9, C7, C5, C3. Jacket: V99, V95, V93, V91, Y28, Y08. Dress T9, T7, T5, V93, V91. Socks V93, V91. Shoes C9, C7, C7, C3, Y28, Y08. Skull E31, E50. Shadow W3, W1. Halo B60. Stamp is Drama Queen from Tiddly Inks.
Udfordringen hos Really Reasonable Ribbon var at lade sig inspirere af forskellige billeder af kjoler lavet af bånd. Synes digi stemplet her passede perfekt til den udfordring, og har foldet sort satin bånd ind over hendes kjole. Det gav en super sød effekt. Simon Says Stamp ville have prikker, så det fik de :) Guld embossede på det mørkegrå karton, og så er der jo prikker i baggrundspapiret.
The challenge at Really Reasonable Ribbon was being inspired by pictures with dresses made of ribbon. Thought this digi stamp was perfect for that challenge, and have folded black satin ribbon over her dress. Added such lovely texture. Simon Says Stamp wanted dots this week, so dots they got :). Gold embossed on dark grey cardstock, and the designerpaper has dots as well.

Udfordringen hos The Burtonesque Dolls var i denne uge Big Fish (som i Tim Burton’s film Big Fish). Så derfor teksten i kortet: Believe me, It’s all true. Udfordringen hos Wild Orchid Crafts var ganske enkelt blonde, så det var jo rimligt nemt at gå til.
The challenge at The Burtonesque Dolls was Big Fish (as in Tim Burtons movie Big Fish). Thus the text: Believe me, it’s all true. The challenge at Wild Orchid Crafts was lace, so that was somewhat easy to do.
Sort, Thunder Grey og Purple karton fra Bazix. Designerpapiret er fra BasicGreys Eerie serie. Roserne er fra Wild Orchid Crafts, de og designerpapiret har fået lidt hjemmelavet glimmermist (Heirloom Gold perfect pearls + vand). Blonden og hattenålene er også fra Wild Orchid Crafts.
Black, Thunder Grey and Purple cardstock from Bazix. The designerpaper is from BasicGreys Eerie collection. Roses from Wild Orchid Crafts, they and the designerpaper have been mistet with homemade glimmer mist (Heirloom Gold perfect pearls + water). Lace and pins are also from Wild Orchid Crafts.

2010-07-26T18:38:00.001+02:00

Denne uge hos Kenny K’s Krafty Girlz byder på en sød skitse. Kortet her er beregnet til en ung pige, så det er holdt i en lidt simpel, skarp stil.

Used cardstock and paper scraps. Nice getting the pile of scraps reduced a bit. Edges inked with Dusty Concord distress ink. Flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts. I have no clue where the Dew Drops or ribbon are from.

Just Magnolia Week 65

2010-07-26T16:52:00.001+02:00

Først tak for alle de søde fødsledags hilsner, både her, på facebook og via emails. Jeg er helt overvældet. Desværre må jeg jo erkende med mig selv, at jeg er elendig til selv at huske sådan noget. Men er virklig meget beæret over alle de hilsner. Så tusind tusind tak.
First thank you for all the wonderful birthday greeting, both here, on facebook and via email. O’m overwhelmed. Unfortunately I have to admit I’m lousy at remembering sending greetings myself. But is very honored by all the greetings you have sent me. So thank you thank you very much.

Denne uges Just Magnolia udfordring er Vintage. Synes egentligt godt selv mit kort kunne have været endnu mere ‘vintage’, men det ser da noget slidt ud i kanterne :) Kortet er inspireret meget af Bevs kort fra designteamet – er vild med hendes opsætning.
This weeks Just Magnolia challenge is Vintage. Think I could have made it even more ‘Vintage’, but it does look somewhat frayed at the edges :) The card is heavily inspired by Bevs card from teh design team. I love her setup.

Bling from a local grocery store. Rose from Wild Orchid Crafts. Spellbinders Nestabilities took a trip through my Big Shot.

Jeg beklager stadig min mangel på at kommentere og komme rundt og se på jeres blogs. Ferien begrænser stadig min internet tid helt utroligt meget.
I’m really sorry I still don’t get around to comment on your blogs. But the vacation really limits my internet time.

The Burtonesque Dolls challenge #11

2010-07-24T20:36:00.001+02:00

Det var meningen nedenstående kort skulle have deltaget i The Burtonesque Dolls udfordring 11, men jeg nåede det ikke. Udfordringen lød på et sort/hvidt kort i Ed Wood stil. Der er ikke ret meget Ed Wood over det, men det er da sort og hvidt. Nu må vi se om jeg når næste udfordring. Det er svært at nå det hele her i sommerferien.
The below card was supposed to enter the Burtonesque Dolls challenge #11, but I didn’t make it in time. The challenge was a black/white card in Ed Wood style. Not much Ed Wood about my card, but at least it is black and white. We’ll see if I manage to do the next challenge in time. It’s hard making it all in the summer holidays.

Copics: C10, C9, C7, C5, C3, C1, C00, 0. Stamp is Nicholette from StampInsanity.

Thunder Grey karton fra Bazix. Mønsterpapir er rester fra My Mind’s Eye Meadowlark serie. Frosted Lace stickles på kjolen, hatten og paraplyen. Diverse bling fra Netto tror jeg nok. Kanter sværtet med Black Soot distress ink. Spellbinders Nestabilities scallop og circle dies.

Stampin station template

2010-07-22T21:12:00.004+02:00

Tak for alle de søde kommentarer til min 'stempel station' :) Ja, det er en jeg selv har 'bikset' mig frem til, og skal nok få lavet en template/tutorial så hurtigt som muligt. Men jeg er ikke hjemme lige for tiden, så det bliver nok først engang i næste uge. Og bare lige for at advare jer på forhånd...alle målene er i tommer ;)
Thanks for all the sweet comments on my Stamping Station. Yes, it's one I've figured out myself, and I'll get a template/tutorial up as soon as possible. But I am not home at the moment, so it won't be before sometime next week.

Stamping Station

2010-07-22T06:05:00.001+02:00

En af Copics helt klart store fordele er at jeg kan printe min motiver på min inkjet (og laser) printer, og farvelægge dem uden problemer. Men det betyder også at jeg er ved at have skaffet mig et temligt stort lager af diverse digi stempler. Og når jeg printer dem ud, printer jeg som regel flere af gange, så jeg får fyldt en hel side. Det resulterer dog i at jeg har en del endnu ikke farvelagte motiver liggende, og nu blev jeg træt af rodet. Så har lavet denne ‘stamping station’.
One of the great advantages with Copics is the ability to print motives on my inkjet or laser printer and color them in without any hassle at all. But it also means I’ve gotten quite a few digi stamps. And when I print them, I useally print more than one at a time, so I use an entire sheet of A4 paper every time. Meaning I have a lot of uncolored digi stamps lying around, and I got a bit tired of the mess. So I made this ‘stamping station’.

Ja sådan ser den så ud tom. Jeg har brugt Granny Smith karton fra Bazix og Majestic Breeze mønsterpapir fra Primas Shabby Chic serie. Blomsterne er fra Wild Orchid Crafts og sommerfuglen er skåret up på Silhouetten og farvet med Victorian Velvet distress ink. Så fik den et ordentligt lag Dazzling Diamonds glimmer mist bagefter. Halvperler fra Kort og Godt. Alle kanter sværtet med Vintage Photo distress ink.
So it looks like this empty. I’ve used Granny Smith cardstock from Bazix and Majestic Breeze designerpaper from Primas Shabby Chic collectiom. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and the butterfly is cut on my Silhouette and then colored with Victorian Velvet distress ink and a heavy layer of Dazzling Diamonds glimmer mist. Half pearls from Kort og Godt. All edges inked with Vintage Photo distress ink.

Og her er den så fyldt op. Bagerst har jeg alle mine endnu ikke farvede motiver. Og i rummet foran står min Stamp-A-Majic, min mest brugte akryl klods og Memento Tuxedo Black sværte, for så kan jeg også altid lige lave nogen gummistempel motiver at have liggende. Skulle jo nødig løbe tør (!). Nede i skuffen ligger de motiver der er farvelagte men ikke brugt endnu.
And here it is all stuffed. In the back I have all my uncolored digi stamps, and in the front room my Stamp-A-Majic, my most used acrylic block and my Memento Tuxedo black ink is enjoying themselves. In the drawer I hide the images I have colroed but not used yet.

Super sød og nem skitse i denne uge på Kenny K’s Krafty Girlz udfordrings blog. Det ser vist ud til jeg har noget med sort/hvid lige for tiden, for det blev til endnu et projekt domineret af sort.

Ja, så er sommerferien startet her i huset, og det betyder der bliver noget mere stille på min blog en ellers, og at jeg desværre ikke har så meget tid til at komme rundt om kommentere :( Men men – helt stille bliver her nu ikke. Skal nok få lavet lidt. Om ikke andet har jeg nogen kortudfordringer jeg gerne vil deltage i.
Summer vacation has started, and that means my blog will be somewhat silent for a while, and that I don’t have much time to comment unfortunately. But – it won’t go all dark here, I will get a little done. If nothing else I have a few card challenges I’d like to participate in – vacation or no vacation.

Her er ihvertfald et layout efter et af Pencillines skitser.

Logecrop

2010-07-11T13:00:00.001+02:00

Var til logecrop igår, og som altid var det helt fantastisk hyggeligt og så sjovt. Jeg nåede ‘næsten’ 3 layouts. Det første var til udfordring 1, som var et layout lift. Annette vandt denne udfordring på afstemning (TILLYKKE Annette, fuldt fortjent).
Attended Logecrop yesterday, and as always, it was so much fun and laughter. I managed to get ‘amost’ 3 layouts done. The first was for challenge #1, which was a layout lift. Annette won this challenge on voting, which was so deserved (Congratulations Annette).

Udfordring 2 var et monokromatisk layout. Vi var 4 der deltog og valgte alle 4 hver sin farve. Jeg valget gul (!?!?!). Absolut ikke en farve jeg er ret vild at arbejde med, men det var den farve der bedst passede til billederne, som forresten er min oldemor og hendes søster ved deres konfirmation. Denne udfording vandt jeg på lodtrækning (YAY!). Og ja, det er med vilje den ene sommerfugl vender nedad.
Second challenge was a monocromatic layout. We were 4 who participated, and all 4 chose a different color. I chose yellow (!?!?!). Definitely not a color I like to work with, but it was the color best suited for the pictures, which by the way is my great grandmother and her sister in 1917 and 1919. This challenge I won on lottery draw (YAY!). And yes, it is on purpose one of teh butterflies is flying downwards.

Og tænk sig, så havde jeg endda tid tilovers til at gå igang med det sidste her, som jeg næsten nåede at lave færdigt. Det manglede blot Maya Road sheer tag’en og de to ‘små’ blomster, som blev sat på her i dag.
And lo and behold, I had time to get a last layout started, and I almost got it finished. It only missed the Maya Road sheer tag and the two ‘small’ flowers, which were glued on today.

Og her er den super lækre premie jeg vandt. Fantastisk!
And here’s the price I won. Awesome!

Pencillines sketch 194

2010-07-07T05:36:00.001+02:00

Synes egentligt først denne sketch var lidt kedelig, men da jeg først begyndte at arbejde med den, gik det op for mig den har masser af potentiale.
Thought this sketch was a bit boring at first, but when I started to work with it, it showed a lot of potential.
