It's a year for news!

Oh I am sooo delighted to share this news with you all! I've kept it a secret for some time now, and now I can share it!

I'm a part of the first ever International designteam for Scrapberry's! Sooo excited!!

Please check out the new international blog for Scrapberry's and see the rest of the fantastic designteam! :)

Kurs på Trøndersaksa!

I'm so fortunate to have been asked by the lovely girls from Trøndersaksa to teach some classes there. So this is for my Norwegain readers.

Jeg har vært så heldig å bli forspurt å holde kurs på Trøndersaksa i Trondheim og så klart kan man ikke si nei til det. Jeg skal holde to kort kurs denne gangen. Og her er sneakpeeks på kursene jeg skal holde:

Det første kurset jeg har satt opp er et steampunk kurs. Det synes jeg passer godt til herrekort og litt røffere jentekort. Det kan jo absolutt brukes til begge deler. Jeg legger vekt på lag på lag, detaljer og ikke minst den herlig steampunk effekten.

Det andre kursene legger jeg vekt på hvordan man kan lage detaljer på kortene sine, dynamikk i hvordan man setter sammen med blomster til flotte dekorasjoner med liv.  Vi lager to kort i lystige farger.

Kunne du tenke deg å være med på kurs? ta en titt her for påmelding :) 

Jeg håper å se deg der :) 

Summer Tag!

Recently I was asked to join the inspirational team for Korthobby.no (a norwegian charms store) I was deligheted to join them and today their new challenge is up! :)

The challenge is all about summer. You can create what ever you like, but it has to contain charms and/or metal pieces from Korthobby.no. This is what I made:

I've used two metalpieces - a small silver scroll and a heart from Korthobby and I've used rubbed them slightly with gesso. 

I do love making tag's.. I've used different papers from 7dots studio, Some left over papers that I had lying around. Used a butterfly I got from the polish kit project and doily, wood frame from Kaisercraft, trim, seam binding ribbon and ecoline colors. 

The title "life is beautiful" is a 7dots Studio sticker. 

Thank you so much for joing me today. I think the challenge is up until the end of July! So have fun folks! :) Please let me know what you think. If you leave a comment, I'll leave one back :)

Have an awesome day!

New challenge at Scraki-Wyzwaniowo!

It's a new month and that  means a new challenge at Scrapki-Wyzwaniowo. It's all about the damask pattern. We have a lovely moodboard for you :)

This time I made a burlap canvas for this challenge. It's full of lovely mixed media (witch I LOVE) lace, flowers and some 7dots Studio (of course).

I used a fractured doll from Tim Holtz as my centerpiece for my canvas. I also stamped with a Tim Holtz butterfly stamp. Flowers are Petaloo's :)

For the damask on my project I've used the damask - stencil from 7dots studio. The papers are form various collections from 7 Dots Studio. I  decorated with chipboard pieces, doilies and flowers. A super fun project to make!

Shadowbox - DT Marion Smith Designs

Hello and good saturday evening everyone! :) Today it's my turn on the Marion Smith Designs blog. We did a blog swap/hop with Petaloo and I recived the most gorgeous Petaloo flowers. We had a theme going on and that was graduation or fathers day. Or fathers day here in Norway isn't due until november.. But here are my fathers day themed Shadowbox.

I've really enjoyed making this I have to say. Steampunk pieces is fun! :) I've used products from Marion Smith Designs "Timekeeper" collection, and Petaloo flowers.

The shadowbox was an old card case. I painted the whole thing with  Finnabair's black gesso and Texture Paste Graphite. I added microbeads to the wet paint. The papers used are from the awesome steampunk collection from MSD called "Timekeeper". I've aslo encluded gears, screws and different metal pieces. The flowers are of course petaloo this time.

I also made a matching tag to go with this shadowbox. Come back tomorrow and you'll see that. If you can't wait you can see it on the MSD blog tonight! :) Thank you so much for stopping by. I would loove a comment. I'll comment back if you leave one.
