2012-02-13T02:05:00.000+01:00

I do love her very, very much!

Art Journal

My observant readers have probably noticed a

lack of postings here on my blog lately.

It is all an aftereffect of my total lack of mojo.

My mojo dissapared in december sometime

and has not come back yet.

In January I watched the Creative Jump Start Summit over at Nathalies blog. It did not do wonders for my mojo, but I decided to try out one of the tips given there - to keep an art journal.

This has been a very difficult task for me 'cause this is a medium very unfamiliar to me. The whole work process is alien to me and I am watching a lot of videos trying to get ideas.

Most of the time I watch Inspiration Wednsday.

This blog really is great for inspiration!

Anyway, I have made some really bad Art Journal pages - I am not going to show you those :) but today I made one that I actually was pretty satisfied with. I think I am about to start liking this Art Journaling thing. I like that it is not supposed to become something. It is not supposed to be given away to anyone and it does not matter if you make mistakes.

No sketch, no demands, no rules.

I can use whatever I have, and also use stuff that I would never in a million years think of using on a card - like this big heart and the wings... they are to big for cards.

Anyway, here are my Art Journal page:

Yeah, I know.... it is kind of pink.....

Maybe I am seriously ill?

Thank you so much for stopping by today. I hope to soon be back in "business" again :)

Have a great day!

Friday Fences # 18

2012-01-27T08:50:00.000+01:00

This is my first time playing with Friday Fences.
I saw this fence while visiting the Lighthouse at Lista this sunday. I love the homemade decoration. It is just some branches that they have twisted and made art out of.
If you want to see more fantastic fences - pop over to Jan's blog.

It was a very, very cool day at Lista, almost froze my nails off, but it is a beautiful place!

Challenge yourself!

2012-01-03T19:21:00.000+01:00

A new year will often also mean new challenges, and I started by challenging myself with the most difficult thing I know when it comes to crafting - a one layer card...

I don't think I have ever been able to make one before. So this is a first for me.

I stamped the Calas twice and made a mask of one of them. With the mask in place I stamped the french script stamp over it, then I stamped the sentiment at the bottom. Sponged the edges with Distress ink (vintage photo) and added three small hearts and five beads and Voila! I had made a one layer card..... I still can't belive it :)

Challenges:

Ett trykk - one layer card

Cupcake Craftroom - Anything Goes

My Grafico - Always anything goes

Craft Your Passion - Anything Goes PLUS Distressing

Incy Wincy Designs - Anything Goes

Make it Monday - always Anything Goes

The Cutie Pie Challenge - Use a Sentiment

The Pink Elephant - Anything Goes

Truly Madly Crafty Challenges - Anything Goes

Fashionable Stamping Challenges - Anything Goes with Your New Stash (the Moments stamp

Robyn`s Fetish - Anything Goes

Pile It On - Anything Goes

Sentimental Sundays -Anything Goes

The Squirrel & the Fox - Something New (the Moments stamp)

What don't we do for those fury friends......

2012-01-03T15:53:00.002+01:00

It is that time of year again... time to go to the vet's office for vaccination and dental care.... I hate it, and my cats hate it even more. Two of them are terrifyed of the cage... so the fun begins a long time before we even can see the vet's office.... *sigh*

Anyway, this year I am going to be prepared! Today I found the cages, washed them and set them on the livigroom floor. Here they are going to stay for a while. I don't think we will go to the vet for another month or so. So I am going to spray the cages with Feliway and throw catnips in there everyday, so maybe they will get used to the cages... you think???? *sigh* Do I belive it? No, but it is worth a try though...

One thing I have missed when it comes to cats and cages is namesigns, so that the vet will know wich cat is in wich cage, so that is what I made today. I sure wish my cats would care also, it would be nice if they saw the signs and went "hey, this looks cozy - I must try", but then agian, no....

Anyway, here is the signs I made. They turned out to look kind of like an old Saloon sign, don't you think. Little bit country and western there... I have some real outlaw cats *LOL* I hope they don't draw their guns and starts duelling in there.....

I have just used plain cardboard. Glued on a piece of TH kraft paper, colored it with distress ink.

The letters are cut out using TH carnivale alphabet die. This is glued onto a piece of paper that has been stamped with LOC vintage postcard.

Then I did cover it all with clear embossing powder, both front, back and sides, hopefully this will make it a little sustainable to water - it always rains when we go to the vet :)

And here is what they look like on the cage :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy new year!

2012-01-02T17:49:00.001+01:00

Happy new year to all of you! I had a quite celebration, just the family and the three scared cats :)

The day before new years eve we went on a little trip to a lighthouse about an hour and half away from were I live. It was a great day, and my stepson took a great photo of me and Marcus, and I was inspired to make a LO out of it. I have not made a lot of LO's, usually just makes cards so this took a lot of thinking an planning. So I went online for inspiration, fist I was looking for a good sketch, but did not really find one, but ok, I dicided to live without, and then I found Finnabair's gallery and got heaps of inspiration! Wow that lady is a very skilled scrapper!

So I jumped into it and loved it, but halfway through there is something wrong, I am not really sure what is was, but the layout just did not fit the photo anymore.... so what to do then, well, you change the photo, right?

So this LO, who was supposed to be a romantic LO of me and Marcus kissing in the sunset, ended up to be a LO with pictures of my great grandfather..... Don't ask! *LOL*

The good thing about this change is that I could use a sketch I liked. I have used Skissedillas sketch #144.
I am also entring this into Simon Says Stamp and show - something old, something new.

I do love his moustache!

I thought it was cool to add the piece of my family tree that leads up to my great grandfather.

There is a lot of old stuff on this LO, but there are something new also. The Brick wall stamp from LOC, the letters are cut out using my new TH die Carnivale alphabeth die. I have also used some TH kraft paper, all of this stuff was lying under the three waiting for me.

My great grandfather was swedish, that is why this LO is called "svensken", that is the name I have heard my mother call him.

I hope you have a great start to the new year! Thanks for stopping by!

Waiting for snow

2011-12-29T15:21:00.001+01:00

I am very dissappointed that we did not get snow for christmas this year. We got some 3 days before, but it all rained away little christmas eve :S It is to warm to have fire in the fireplaceand there is just nothing reminding me about winter outside...

I have been dow with a bad back all christmas, lying on the sofa feeling sorry for myself, now finally these two last days I have been able to sit again, so now it was time to craft again. I did get a lot of crafting goodies from santa this year :)

This tag is for Simon Says Stamp and Show (make a TH inspired tag) and for Grungy Monday (tissue tape og paper).

My inspiration was the last tag of 2009.

I stamped the bg with TH Christmas carol and flourish. Under the roses I have made a section with snowflake tissuetape. Does not show very good in the picture, but its there - you just have to belive me :)

The roses is from Kort og Godt. I sprayed them with Distress reinkers for color and some glimmermist for sprakle. Then I painted the egdes with white acrylic paint and then added some diamond stickles on top of that. The leaf was dabbed with snow cap paint dabber.

I added all the bling by hand and then cut out the letters using TH upon a time alphabet die. Then the letters were covered with stickles.

Now can we please have some snow?

I also have to show you my husbands creations. He was so sweet and made his own tags for christmas.
He did a good job I think, now I am afraid that I might have to fight him for the craftingstuff......

Thank you so much for stopping by!

12 Tags # 12

2011-12-12T17:08:00.000+01:00

We have come to the end of Tim Holtz 12 Tags of Christmas. He did finish it of with a bang I think. His last tag is gorgeous!

This year I have been following his design pretty close this year, and I tried to do that for this one also.

Thanks for stopping by!

Now, maybe I will make some christmascards.... or maybe not...

12 Tags # 11

2011-12-12T07:00:00.000+01:00

I am a head of scedule! Tim has not posted his

12th tag yet and I have finished my 11th!

YEAY!

Thanks for stopping by!

12 Tags # 9 and # 10

2011-12-11T22:24:00.000+01:00

I am still palying catch up with Tim Holtz 12 tags. I have now finished Tag # 9 and # 10. Tomorrow will be the last day of the tags, so if I get the chance to finish them both tomorrow I will be right on scedule *LOL* Oh well, I have no illusions ..... :)

So here are the tags:

# 9

# 10

This one was hard to photograph so I have taken a close up also.

I really love how those santafragments turned out :)

Thanks for stopping by!

12 Tags # 7 and # 8

2011-12-11T01:02:00.000+01:00

I am still palying catch up with the 12 tags... now I have finished #8 so I am still 2 days behind, and when I wake up tomorrow I will be 3 days behind.... There is no mercy in this game!

I have spent my saturday watching the Nobel Peace Prize Ceremony while preparing for Sebastians birthday. We do not celebrate big, but he of course had his favorite dinner wich is trout. He is a fisheater :)

Anyway, I have to say something about this years Nobel Peace Prize. This year it was awarded to three amazing women. Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Leymah Gbowee and Tawakkol Karman. Three strong women with some strong stories.

This is an important prize because it represents womens suffering in war and the importans of including women in peacenegotiations.

There was so much I chould have said, but these women makes me speachless of admiration. I wish them the best of luck in their fight and struggle, leading a country torn apart of civil war (Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, president of Liberia, the first female president in Africa), leading a non violent women organization responsible for ending the civil war in Liberia ( Leymah Gbowee, I don't believe that she is the same age as me.... she has ended a civil war.... I have made cards......), and finally Tawakkol Karman, current leader of a non violent revolution in Yemen, still fighting (non-violent) for a free Yemen.

Please read more about them and their lecture at the Nobel Institute website.

So, sorry about that - sometimes the world just have to get a place in my crafting world.

Over to the tags.

# 7

I really like this tag! I think it is gorgeous!

# 8

This one I don't like.

Thanks for stopping by! It is now 01:00 in the morning, I would like to catch up on some more tags, but I guess it will have to wait until the morning... Sleep tight!

Happy Birthday Sebastian!

2011-12-10T00:47:00.000+01:00

My dear stepson Sebastian is turing 14 next tuesday. He is not going to be home that day so we will celbrate him Tomorrow (or actually it is today). And I am sitting up late making a last minute card for him. I had no idea what to make for him, he is a computerguy, so all these sportthemed boysimages does not fit him. But I do belive that steampunk really captures the spirit of him. He has been asking the thoughest questions all his life. You need to have a Ph.D in like everything technical to satisfy his curiosity. When he was 4 he wanted to know what happened in the wall when you turned on the lightswitch... At dinner tonight we discussed energy, how to make it and how to make a selfpowered machine... if that is not steampunk, then I have misunderstood the consept *LOL*

So I hope my beloved stepson likes his card, his presents and that his birthday will be a fine one.

If you did not know it by know, my stamps are from Darkroom Door. I know that I will have to wrap them up for christmas, because they are christmasgifts, but I will have to wait until last minute to wrap them up, I don't think I can live for a day without them *LOL*

You might say that Darkroom Door is my new favorite.

12 Tags # 5 and # 6

2011-12-09T02:50:00.000+01:00

It is 2:46 in the morning. I am sitting up. listening to the storm outside and trying to catch up with TH 12 tags...

Here is tag # 5

And here is # 6

Ok, will try to sleep now... I am still three tags behind....

Thanks for stopping by!

12 Tags # 4

2011-12-07T22:22:00.000+01:00

I am a bit behind on the 12 tags. I have had a bad back for a few days and then everything goes south... Oh well..

Here is my forth tag. Stayed pretty close to Tim Holtz original design, but changed a few things. I don't have the snowflake on the egde die, so I used a technique Tim showed us last year, I dried embossed a sheet of acetate and covered the whole tag. It really gives it a frosty look.

Thanks for stopping by!

12 Tags # 3

2011-12-05T10:05:00.000+01:00

I am falling behind on the 12 tags, trying to play catch up, but somehow there where other things needing my attention also....like the humongus dustrabbits flying all over the house....

Anyway here is my second take on the third tag, the first one I made was a good idea in theory but did not work out well :)

Take a look over at Tim Holtz' blog and join in on the fun!

12 Tags # 2

2011-12-02T11:13:00.000+01:00

It is day 2 of Tim Holtz 12 tags of Christmas. Come join the fun!

I did go in a very different direction with my tag today. That is because I have got some Darkroom Door stamps and I just have to use them. :)

I am quite excited about these new stamps I have got :)

I actually think that this tag looks a little boring, but with this tag it is all about the details.

I used a piece of sheet music, and embossed the compassrose and some text with clear embossing powder. Then I wwashed over it with white acrylic paint (don't have paint dabbers)

I added some charms, a key and a ruler, to some jute.

I stamped some steampunk gear and glued on some more gear (could have waited till the glue dried before I took photos.....)

I stamped my steampunk man onto some canvas and gave him a penny necklace. The details in the stamp did of course not like the canvas, but I think it looks cool anyway - you can still see the man right?

At the bottom I cut out a piece of railwaytracks that I placed down with some brads.

Who needs reindeers when you have steampunk????

Thanks for stopping by!

12 Tags #1

2011-12-01T22:40:00.000+01:00

Tim Holtz is back with his 12 tags of christmas. I have been looking forward to this creative event. His first tag gave me quite a few headackes, but I finally finished it.

I am particularly satisfied with the fact that I managed to use my new Darkroom Door stamp :) Oh you are going to be so fed up with Darkroom Door when these 12 tags are over *LOL* I will probably use them every day.

I did not have his pinecone die, but I have got something even better - I have real pinecones :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Thank you so much!

Ok, that was not nice of me to say *thihi*

It is so great to play with my friends over at Midnight Madness again! Hi girls! I miss you! And today it was extra fun 'cause I got happy mail today :) I got this stampset from Darkroom Door in the mail today and I love it!

I combined one of the clocks with this cool frame from Stempelglede and I think it looks smashing!

It is great to feel the creative juices flowing again and tomorrow TH starts his 12 tags! I am sooooo ready!

When you wish upon a star

2011-11-28T18:29:00.000+01:00

Simon Says Stamp and Show came with a new challenge today, and I was so disappointed when I saw that the theme was "stars". I don't use stars, so that was a real downer.

Then I was chatting with Lovely Linda on Facebook. I told her about the theme and said that it really did not do anything for my mojo. Then I said " I can't remember that I have ever used stars...." and Lovely Linda says "Did you use a star on you CAS Christmas cards?".... and she was right of course, I used a star just a few weeks ago.... is it the age that is catching up with me? Alzheimers light or something? Anyway, it did get my mojo flowing, and even though this is the third or fourth attempt on using this star, I think that I finally got there :)

Thank you Linda for getting me back on track!

I don't remeber where this star is from, probably Kreativ Hobby, but I have had it for years. But this year is the first that I have managed to use it. Isn't that weird. You buy a stamp, you love it, but then you don't know how to use it and it ends up in your drawer... Happens way to often if you ask me :)

My sentiment is from Stempelglede and my flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. And then I added some small pearls in between the flowers.

I covered the stars with Cinamon Stickles and added a little pearl in the center. It does not show very good in the picture.

At the side I hand stiched with a ribbon and added a TH metal charm saying "Wish".

Thanks for stopping by!

Angelic christmas

2011-11-26T23:28:00.001+01:00

Here is another christmascard I made tonight.

I am not really fond of angels, they give me some bad assosiations, but this stamp is gorgeous, so I decided to give it a go anyway. It is a pretty simple card, easy on postage :) Some scappringfriends of mine was making fun of my cards earlier, saying that it would be cheaper to take two weeks off work, drive around the country staying at hotels and hand deliver my christmascards, than it would be to mail them..... I really don't understand what they are talking about *LOL*

I am also ready for advent. I have decorated my candles and is looking forward to light the first one tomorrow.

Dear Santa

2011-11-24T21:58:00.001+01:00

My workdesk and a messy house....

2011-11-24T21:41:00.000+01:00

How am I supposed to craft? They step in my stickles, they eat the feathers and they play with my pearls....

Today Lucas came home happy as a fiddle with a mouse in his mouth. The mouse was alive and not jet hurt, so it took a run for it, under my coffetable, under my sofa, under the rug..... It was quite the chase to catch it and let it loose. And this is what my livingroom looked like when it was all over.

Lucas was very frustrated that we had taken his toy away from him. This is not a happy cat!

Want to see what else is happening out there in the crafting (and mousechasing) world?

WOYWW #128

2011-11-16T11:43:00.002+01:00

What's on my workdesk? Meet Stella :) She is looking very determind to make sure that there are no crafting going on. The best way to do that, is to sit on it!

Here is what she is sitting on:

I have wanted to make my own giftwrapping paper and make fabolous looking gifts for christmas for a long time, but when christmas comes I end up wrapping the gifts in a hurry. This year things are going to change! Here is a giftwrapping paper that I have made. I used just plain Kraftpaper and stamped on it. I think the text stamp is called French script, but I don't know where is is from. Not sure where the other stamp is from either. I have never used it before, but I really liked it.

I used Distress Ink Walnut Stain for the stamping.

And here is my finished gift

I see that I should have been more careful when wrapping so that the pattern came at the centre. I will pay more attention next time :)

So what is on you workdesk today? Come join the WOYWW and see all the fabolous things going on in the crafting world.

So feminine

2011-11-15T16:14:00.000+01:00

I love to feel that my mojo is on it's way back. I still have to fight a bit to find it, but I am winning more

battles than I am loosing :) So that is a good thing!

Today I decided to play with Simon Says Stamp and Show. This is a challenge that I have not played with for a long time. This week it is all about the feminine.

I really like to make these little bookcards, and now that my new best friend is called Score-pale it is so easy to make them!

I have never made a christmascard in brown and pink before, but I really like the soft, feminine look this gave. The girl on the image is so presious and pretty.

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Grungy Monday #26

2011-11-10T21:14:00.000+01:00

I am back! Like in back crafting again. Today I have done more than these last two months togheter I think. I love that I have some inspiration again.

Christmas is comming way to soon now, and it is just a few weeks until Tim Holtz is starting his 12 tags of christmas again (I sure hope he will do them this year also), so I decided that I needed some practice, and what better way to get that than to play with Grungy Monday :)

Here is my tag, inspired by Tim Holtz 7th tag of christmas, 2009.

My santa is from Paper Inspirations - I love this guy! He is so festive :)

I added some Fired Brick Distress Stickles and some Frosted Lace stickles to his tophat.

A key and a heart :)

I have also used stamps from Tim Holtz and Great impressions. I don't remember where the snowflake came from. The "God Jul" stamp is from Kreativ Hobby.

I used Fryed Burlap, Vintage Photo, Walnut Stain and Barn Door Distress ink to make the background.

Thanks for stopping by!

More Christmascards

2011-11-10T12:36:00.000+01:00

I am on a roll! Or on an asemby line... Anyway, today I have made 14 of these CAS Christmascards.

WOYWW #127

2011-11-09T11:06:00.000+01:00

I have not played with WOYWW for a very long time. These last months there has not happened a lot on my workdesk either, but today it was so messy that I had to show :) I also was a little inspired by Bridget.

Look at this mess! I have all my Distress inks out, working on some ideas for CAS christmascards. It also involves my Cuttelbug.

I am trying out this design in different colors and trying to make it work. In this picture you can also see some ornaments I have made, and a couple of cards I have got from Lovely Linda - I have them on display Linda, bot the picture Ron took and your Ugly card :)

I am playing with stamps from Layers of Colors, Distress ink and Tim Holtz embossingfolders.

Here you can see some of the trial and errors in different colors, and also one of the books I am reading at the moment. I usually read 3 or 4 books at the same time.

I am also working on making my own giftwrapping paper for christmas and testing out how to wrap and decorate my presents this year :)

Here is a little knitting project, not quite finished yet, but I will show you when it is.

So that is what is going on on my workdesk this week. I love to see so much happening again, 'cause it has been a boring place for a long time.

Thanks for stopping by!

I have been wanting to make these books for quite a while. I made one earlier, but it was big, and it was impossible to get the folding to look good. But Marcus got me a Score Pal for my birthday so now it is a walk in the park making these folds :) I see quite a few of these books in my future *LOL*

The inside:

Thank you so much for stopping by!

LOC CAS Christmas

2011-10-31T19:51:00.000+01:00

I am very proud of myself for making a CAS card. CAS really is not my thing *LOL*

I have had this big star for years, but never really found a way to use it, but it looks really good togheter with this little reindeer from the Reindeer Waltz stamp set from

Layers of Colors.

The background is made using Stormy Sky and Tumbeled glass Distress inks. The sentiment is from Stempelglede.

I added a little bit of Black diamond stickles to the center of the star, but it does not show on the picture.

Thanks for stopping by!

LOC ornament bloghop

2011-10-26T13:52:00.000+02:00

Layers of Colors have an ornament bloghop today. I am really looking forward to go see all their amazing creations, but I also really wanted to join in :) So I made my own ornament using Layers of Colors stamps.

I have used stamps from the Touch of Elegance stamp set and from the Nature walk stamp set.

Here is a picture of how the ornament looks like from above.

Here is what it looks like from beneath.

This was a tricky thing to make. I did plan on making a set of three, to small and one bigger. I wanted them in white and silver and I had it all planned out in my mind, but I could not do it. They looked so bad, I don't know how many I have tossed in the bin, but there are a few *LOL*, so I only have this one, not really happy about it either, but I got a shot of it from it's best side :)

Thank you so much for stopping by! Don't forget to check out the ornament bloghop over at the Layers of Colors blog!

Hugs

Christmas is comming way to soon!

Hello again!

It has been a while. Not a lot of crafting going on these days, but last weekend I was in Stavanger at the Paperparty :) I had a slow start, but finally I got started on the christmascards.

I made 10, they look mostly the same but I have 2 different designs.

One red and one blue :)

The stamps are from Kort og Godt.

I also got started on a new paperbag album, but I am not sure that it will ever be finished *LOL*

It was a lot of fun being at the Paperparty and I sure hope I will get the opportunity to go back in february!

I had written this loooong post, and then I screwd it up and lost it all.. don't you just hate it when that happens?

Anyway, here we go again!

It is time to say goodbye! I have been a DT member for the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge for a year and a half or so now, and the time has come to move on and let someone else take my place. I have transformed my crafts desk into a studydesk and replaced my stamps with books. I am taking some classes at the university and at least until I get into "student-mode", crafting will not be a big priority.

Thank you Priscilla for giving me the opprotunity to be part of your team. Thank you for beliving in me! You know that I will always be here for you if you need me!

Thank you to all the team members, both resent and past. Thank you for all the fun and laughter and for all the support and comfort you have offered when times have been though.

This card is for you!

I chose to use my all time favorite Priscillastyles image. I find myself using this corset over and over again. It is just so much fun to work with, and it always gives some really cool cards!

I did a lot of handstiching, both this criss cross thing here, but I also cut the three pieces of the corest out and stiched them togheter.

As you can see, handstitching might not be where my talent lies *LOL*

I dired embossed the corset to give it some texture, it almost looks like fabric dosn't it?

Thank you so much for stopping by! I hope you still will drop in on me now and again.

I have used a digi from AnnaBelle stamp this week.
I decided not to color it but to use the sketch element to highlight one area of the image. So I kept the card in b/w with only the little hint of color.

Some lace, some roses and a big heart at the bottom.

At the side here I have sewn using a thin ribbon.

Steampunk tag

2011-08-07T22:36:00.000+02:00

I have been looking at this steampunkstyle for a while now and I love it!

This is my first attempt.

I printed this wirecorset that I found on the net, and then added wire to it. Heated some acetate and distressed it, all according to Tim Holtz. Printed a couple of tickets and tore up a page from an old dictionary. Then I went through all my embellishments to look for things that can fit the steampunk theme. I really like my sewingmachine charm :) How cool is that!

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Paper bag album

2011-08-06T13:38:00.003+02:00

I have made my very first paper bag album. This was made for a swap over at CDAC. Actually I like it so much that I think it is a little bit sad to part with it..... But I see a lot of these albums in my future! Hopefully Lady Anne will like just as much as I do.

Be preapared for lots of photos!

The cover

The girl is from Stampsmith. Clock from McMahon 5 design and the little hearts (not easy to see) are from Pricillastyles. You can se it here.

Metal frame from Kort og Godt.

Inside the cover

Lady from Digital 2 for Tuesday. Butterfly from Priscillastyles.

Fist page

Flowers from Kort og Godt. Little photos from Tim Holtz.

Second page

Butterfly from Priscillastyles. Cameolady from Sugar Creek Hollow. Oval frame from Kort og Godt.

Letters from Tim Holtz.

Third page
Love postcard from Sugar Creek Hollow. Flowers from Prima, Kort og Godt and Wild Orchid.

Forth page

Clock from McMahon 5 design.

Fifth page

I am not sure where the key and keyhole comes from. It is something I got in a Rak from my aunt Wenche.

Thank you Wenche!

Sixth page

Seventh page

Eight page
The pink lace is some I got in a Rak from Lovely Linda. Thank you Linda!

Ninth page and inside back cover
Frame from Stampington. I stamped it and scanned it into my computer and then I added the picture to it and printed it.

The tags and pullouts. I am not sure how many tags the album have, but there are 4 pullouts. These have room for photos on the front and some of them have space for journaling on the back, but not all of them. All of the small tags have room for journaling on the back.

Clock digital stamp from McMahon5 design.

The small pictures are from Tim Holtz paperstack "Lost and found".

Details.

More details. The big metal flower is from Kort og Godt.

More details. Did not get the colors right on this photo. Sorry about that!

More details. I did wrap the cover in pages from an old english dictionary and then I distreesed it with Vintage photo and Walnut stain distress ink. The frame is from Stampington.

I have printed a few things that I have put here and there in the album. This is some sort of lovecheck. Looks cool I think.

Details from inside the front cover. The lady is a digital stamp from Digital 2 for tuesday, don't remember where I got the frame from. The butterfly is from Priscillastyles.

The handle.

The album is pretty thick...... I wonder why..? *LOL*

Det requirements for this swap was to make an album with at least 6 digital stamps in it. I have used digital stamps from the following companies:

Priscillastyles

Digital 2 for tuesday

Sugar Creek Hollow (sadly this shop has closed down)

McMahon5design

Now I need to figure out how to wrap it and send it....

I have a lot of good memories from our time as DT's together for the Midnight Madness Challenge, and I will cherish thoose for ever!
I wish you best of luck, and know that if you don't stay in touch - I will hunt you down!

For this weeks sketch I have made a card and a book that fits the card.
Be prepared for lots and lots of photos!

I close the book with a grungeboard hinge that I have covered with Distress Embossingpowder.
This locks into a pice of string.

Here is the inside of my book. I have stamped some text on both sides and then I have a butterfly form the Fluttersent set from Layers of Colors.

I have also added some hinges on the back of the book.

The clock is part of a paper that I don't remember where I got. i just cut it out. I think it is kind of cool with the crown on.
The red flowers are from Petaloo.

The card fits into the book, making it a nice giftset.

The card is decoraded with the same clock as the book. Flowers are from Petaloo.

My image this week is from Shelly's images. I just love these shooes!
I dis some work in Photoshop. Added the bgtext and the "GO NAKED"-button.
I colored them with my Inktense colorpencils.

I have added lots of laces and ribbons, some square pearls and red roses.

My GO NAKED button is a photshopbrush. I printed the image twice and put one on foamdots. Colored the text red and covered it with stickles. This don't show in the photo though.

So, no run over and check out what my DT sisters have made!

Thanks for stopping by!
