It has been a blast visiting you.

Finally back

Hi everyone!

Today is the first time i`m being creative since i have moved. I`ve been a bit stressed out course i haven`t managed to get my craft room completely up and running yet. Yesterday when i was doing this card i couldn`t find anything of the stash i needed so i was completely bummed out by this. First i couldn`t find the cord to my printer to get an image printed and coloured up. Luckely i had a 3D decoupage set from Sherri at hand so it saved my project this time. Then my heat gun has dissapeared and of course and i had decided to use paint on my creation. So i had to wait for it to dry up....and my patience is like zero, lol. And of course i couldn`t get a decent pic of the finished result either so my evening was absolutely "perfect".... not, lol. Well anyway i finished my card. Poor Eva Gro patiently sat and waited for me to finish up. She`s just such a sweetheart. 

Well... This is my first card in ages. I`ve been moving and we have been in between housing so we have lived for a month and a half at my brother in law. It went very well but i`m so happy we finally are in our own house. So all my crafty stash has been in a container for...well... at least 8 months. I had to pack everything down before the showing of our old house. My craftroom was made into a loft livingroom. 

So now i`m just bubling over with creativity. I have so much i want to do but i have to be patient...yeah me...patient. Not a good combo, lol. Have to get my room up and running first. Now it just looks like a bomb has hit the place. Not good, lol.

Ok i have to stop rambling on now. Here is my card.

Today we have a new challenge going live at My Besties Norway. The theme set is:

Distressing: Inking and/or tearing

For my card i have used Tina Tatter 3D decoupage set. She is just such a cutie. 

I have ruffled up all the edges and painted them with gesso to get the shabby look. I embellished with a rose trim from Marianne Design and roses from Papirhobby. Rosebuds from Kort og Godt and Metal corners from Live and Love Crafts.The bling swirl i don`t remember where it`s from. I`ve lost the package it was in.

Ok, so that was all from me today. Thanks for sticking by me through all my rambling, lol. Please hop on over to My Besties Norway and join us for this challenge. Good luck everyone!

Challenge #5 at My Besties Norway

Hey everyone!

It`s been a while since i`ve posted anything in here and i`m really sorry about that. My life has been cramped up with a lot lately and the crafting has taken a tour into oblivion for a while. I hope you can forgive me :-)

Well anyway...here i am back with my contribution for My Besties DT. I think this image is just so adorable and it is one of the new Halloween digis by Sherry Baldy. The image i have used is called IMG 043 With Kitty

I allmost mucked up my image when i was doing my card yesterday. I was going to use some black cheesecloth behind the image just to make my card a little bit spookier. The only thing is that i didn`t have any of it in black so i had to colour it myself. I found my little bottle of Black Soot distress ink and started colouring the darn thing, lol. When dried i was going to put it on my card. But as i was handling it i noticed that it still left some ink here and there. You can imagine my panic when i noticed i had some inked fingermarks on my image... Eeeek...panic!!! I was allready late with my card and i didn`t have the time to colour up my image again. Thank God that the marks only were on the sides of the image and that i could cover them with some flowers. Otherwise my hubby would have had a really bad saturday evening with a grumpy whife in the same room, hahahaha.

Oh well let get down to buisness shall we? The theme for this fortnight is.... Yeah you guessed right:

HALLOWEEN

 

The papers are digital. The purple one is a past freebie from Bearly Mine Designs and the green one in the back is from Crafts and Me.

Skin: Vanilla, Saffron, Oatmeal, Sunkissed pink, Tan

Eyes: Shale, Burgundy, Poppy, Lipstick red

Hair: Black, Sugar Plum

Lips: Sugar plum, Burgundy, Berry red

Dress/hat: Black Sugar plum, Violet, Burnt orange, Spice, Pumpkin, Gold, Sunflower

Well...now we are ready with challenge #3. It`s a nice and easy one, lol. Theme set for this time is:

Use some kind of dies

The image i have used for today`s challenge you can find here.

I have kept the colours in a fall theme as i am in that kind of mood at the time. I just love the fall. Such beautiful colours all around us, don`t you think?

The dies i have used are Fleur de Lis squares by Spellbinders and Border Craftable CR1250 by Marianne Design. I`m sorry but i couldn`t find any link to where it`s available. I got it in a DT pack a little while ago.

I have tried blending some new colours and the result you can see on her clothes and bow. Colours i normally wouldn`t think could go well together but i`m really surprised and happy they did.

Colours used are:

Skin: Vanilla, Saffron, Oatmeal, Tan, Sunkissed pink

Hair: Rosewood (FM), Terracotta, Spice, Honeycomb

Eyes: Emerald, Green, Mint green

Lips: Budding rose, Pink mittens

Top/Tights/Bow: Rosewood (FM), Burnt orange, Peach

Shorts: Firewood, Grey squirrel, Pastel beige

Cat: Ice grey #1,2 and 5, Budding rose, Pink mittens

For white highlights i used Sakura gelly roll pen

Here i just rolled up some string, made a bow and put on a brown rose. Just real simple.

I used some different kind of papers for this one. They are from Websters Pages, Marianne Design and G45.

Please stop by our challengeblog over at My Besties Norway and join in on the fun. Remember you don`t have to use a My Besties image to enter but we would sure love it if you do. Also...The candy has been drawn so make sure to check it out if you have entered.

Nice and easy start huh? I think this has to be allmost everyone`s favourite theme, lol

For my first DT card for My Besties i have used Img 725. Isn`t she adorable?

When i sat down and started colouring this cutie i was really surprised about how easy it went so my advise to all of you that think the same as i did. Please just have a go, you may get a big surprise, lol. At least i did.

The colours i have used are:

Skin: Vanilla, Saffron, Oatmeal, Tan, Sunkissed pink

Hair: Cocoa, Mustard, Buttercup, Saffron

Eyes: Midnight blue, Denim blue, Pastel blue

Dress: Dusky rose, Budding rose, Pink mittens, Ice grey #3, Icicle, Sakura gelly roll pen (white)

Pants: Ice grey #3, Icicle, Sakura gelly roll pen (white)

Socks: Dusky rose, Pink mittens, Pink lobster, Iced pearl

Roses: Pink lobster, Iced pearl, Pressed leaf

The sentiment is from Marianne Design which is one of the new collectables series. These contain three stamps and a coordinating die to cut out the sentiment. I just loove these.

The flowers are from several companies don`t remember exactly as i have had tem in my stash for a while, lol. At least WOC is represented here, lol.

Just look at this cute dollface. Such a total heartbreaker, lol.
