Hope you like my cards even though christmas is over. I'd love to hear from you, leave me a comment and I'll leave one back! Thanks for stopping by :)

You - Layout DT Marion Smith Designs!

Yes it Saturday and Marion Smith Designs day.. I'm now going to post everyother saturday projects filled with Marion Smith Design products starting with this saturday. This time I have a layout to share with you.

I've played with pink!! not often I do that since I only have boys to scrap for myself. I've used papers from the "Garment District" line and the "Mad Tea Party" 6x6" Paper Pad.

I used a bit of gesso on the busy background and used cut outs from the "Garment District" line including some 6x6" papers from the "Mad Tea Party" line to put together some layers behind the photo. I also used some of the junque ane gems to decorate!

I'm actually quite happy with this layout. Would love to hear your opinion! :) Thanks for stopping by and leave me a comment and I'll leave one back! :)

Happy New Year!

Oh yes! It's a new year, a fresh start to do some of the things you didn't do last year!

I don't really have new year resolutions but this year I kind of have..These are my resolutions:

1. Beeing healthier. I've actually started on this resolutions. I started in November and I've allready lost 6,5kg (14,5lbs).. I'm walking more and I've stopped with the cola and the candy! ooo yes!

2. Scrapp more.. Do more challenges...

3. Use my blog a lot more..

So there you have it.. my resolutions for 2015! :)

Over to something a bit more interesting.. A new challenge over at the Scrapki-Wyzwaniowo blog!

This months challenge is "Tales of Mystery".. And you can make anything you'd like.. The prizes are sponsored by the fantastic 7dots Studio!

( I know the picture says december 2014.. Just a small error I think ;) )

Here's my take on the challenge:

I chose to scrap a picture of some of my ancestors.. I don't know that much about them.. so it is a bit for a mystery for me.. :)

I've used 7dots paper and stickers on my page. Also used some of the new stensils and stamps :)

Thanks for stopping by my blog today! You leave me a comment and I leave one back! Would love to hear from you :)

Cheeky Pinup Card - DT Marion Smith Designs

Hello everyone! This weekend I had a blast at a crop in Rensvik, Norway. I made cards, tags and layouts aaand chatting to amazing people with the same hobby as you. There where a couple of challenges and one of these where a picture of a Pin up girl with an umbrella. Perfect match with papers from Marion Smith Designs. So this is my DT card for this month :)

On my card I played a bit with the "Garment District" line and the 6x6" paper pad. There are gorgoeus elements in the collection that was perfekt for my little pinup girl. 

I love fuzzy cutting and I cut out this spool and a spool top. I also used some other images found in the Garment district 6x6" paper pad. Punched out some leaves in a little left over Nirvana Collection paper piece and glued them on. Tucked some pieces with the white glitter stems in with the leaves. For my norwegian readers: Bikuben har fortsatt en god del av disse Marion Smith Designs produktene! Ta en titt i nettbutikken.

Thanks for stopping by me today! Leave me a comment and I'll leave one back! :) 

Have a good one :)

Solbriller - Layout Marion Smith Designs

Oh yes! My turn today over at the Marion Smith Designs blog and this time I made a layout with the awesome Nirvana Collection.

I just love this picture of my son Collin. This was taken in Spain last year and he looks sooo cool in this newly purchased sunglasses..The tittle is a norwegian song lyric and sounds kinda cheesy in English. But roughly translated it means: "I have to have my sunglasses on" :)

I've used a couple of different papers form the Nirvana Collection, and layered them up! Love Layers. My background is Art Anthology Gesso & Velvet.

I've tried to take a pictue of the layers on my layout. I also love to fuzzy cut flowers and other potential embellishments from the papers.

This little sweet camera piece is also a Marion Smith Designs embellishment.. It's actually a charm, but I hid the loop under the paper, Don't you just love this?

Oh well.. that's all I had for today!:) Have a fantastic Monday and thanks for stopping by :)

Sweeping out the dust....

Wow! This blog has ceratinly been neglected this past months! Loads of stuff has happend in my life this past month.. First of all I'm now a mother of 3 beautiful boys! Little Finnley was born 7 weeks early and we spent one month in hospital.

When he was born he weighed only 2120grams and where 46cm long. Today he's 2months old and weighs 3645grams and are 48cm long. :)

Oh well.. I hope I'm now back to business.. I'm on a new designteam!!! Sooo excited about that.. I'm designed for Marion Smith Designs!! Going to be so great! The papers are so gorgeous and the embellishements even more gorgeous. :)

I had my first post for Marion Smith Designs a couple of days ago.. So I'm dusting of this blog with a card made with the Nirvana collection. And for my norwegain readers: Bikuben har disse papirene i butikken! :)

Love those cut-outs in this collection. Super easy to maker layered cards. I've also used some die-cuts rom spellbinders and old book sheet. It felt really natural to make a boys card since I've now got 3 boys! :)

This card is the way I love to make cards.. loads of layers and a splash of gesso on top.

Look at this GORGEOUS resin rose! Love it! :)

Well.. thanks for stopping by me today and help med dust of my blog.. It's really needed.. I'll be back in a few days with a new post! :) 

Smile - Poppydesign & Skissedilla Layout!

A new layout today! I've worked with super cool papers from Poppydesign and a great sketch from Skissedilla. Hope you like it :)

This is the sketch I 've made my layout after: 

Here is my result: 

I've used papers from two gorgeous paperpads made by Vibeke Spigseth - Poppydesign! The papers are easy to use. Great quality and two-sided! I also diecuted som stars and added those to the project :) 

I also added some black splashes with a brush and used a stencil and distress ink to create some more interesting details in the background. 

Thanks for stopping by me today :) 

Life is a Journey - Journalbook

I've gotten into making these small journal books.. They are so easy to make and I love it! This one I made for 3rd Eye as a DT project. I'm coming up on one of my last post for 3rd Eye. It's been amazing to be part of the small Polish company as a DT member.

This journal is half the size of the one I posted yesterday. But suuper cute! It's 9x13cm and is held together with spirals.

I started making my background on this book with the TES-21 clouds stamp. and embossing powder. I embossed the clouds clear and that would create a resist to the colors that was splashed ontop. I decorated with the TEC-007 Moth chipboards and the TEC-005 Star chipboards.

You can see the clouds a bit better on this picture. After decorating I splashed some water colors on and let them dry where they landed.  I finished of by stamping the TEC-007 Moth chipboard with the TES-131 Small moth stamp.  Finished the book of with the TES-118 Polka dots stamp.

I hope you liked my little book and thanks for stopping by my blog today! :)
