Over at DW- on the beach

Well it is a bit late here in Norway for summer, the autum has arrived. But over at Dotties World we still have a bit of summer. Lou has sat this challenge and in her own word se tell what this is all about:

Hello Folks, Louise here. As this challenge goes live I will actually be sunning myself in Turkey! So I think it would be a fitting plan to make a beach/vacation themed card - make it sunny please! Don't forget your Charmed download!

So I started to play and pretend that summer is not over yet, or is this my dream for next summer?


I cut out the card with my Silhouette, using StampinUp cream paper. Then I used ink direct to paper for these colors.
Sentiment in the middle is a ClubScrap stamp and the sentiment in the upper corner is a printable from House of 3.
Pattern paper is from my scraps. I also used some Karen Marie klipp flowers. Charms are from my stash.
My charmed one is from this collection.
So head over to Dotties World and take a look at the other creations, they are beautiful.
Enjoy your sunday.

Just for fun :-)

Earlier this summer I bought a couple of stamps from Loralie Designs- this is Dominique.


These stamps are so fun and I love playing with my copics. These are perfect to color in with copics.
Papers are Bazzill and hybrids from House of 3.
Sentiments are printables from House of 3- Rhonna Farrer and they are printed on sticker papers.
the calender circle is print and cut from my Silhouette. And this flower is from Nille.

Be inspired- that`s the issue over at DW

This week Lou has set this challenge and she has this to say about that:

Hello Guys and Gals, Louise here,
We haven't had a photo inspiration challenge for blummin ages! So here we go, use this picture as inspiration to make a card (or even something else!)- maybe it will be the colours, maybe the flower, maybe the romantic feel of it - there are no rules with inspiration challenges, it's how the picture effects and inspires you. Oh actually there is one rule! The rule is -and believe me some people still forget this one - USE A CHARMED DOWNLOAD!


Well, this is a great picture and I really got inspired, so I made this little box with the Sweet little Dreamer. I used bazzill paper and the pattern paper is Olivia from BG. Punched the tab with my Stampin Up punch.
I used some big flowers I bought ages ago, and I can\t remember from wich company. The rest of the embellishment is from Storyteller.
The dreamer is from the Pixie collection at Charmed Card and Craft. She is colored with copics. I also used a Pink Paisely border.



So head over to the main blog DW and take a look at what the rest of the team has done. Why not play with us and be inspired.
Wish you all a great sunday.

Your Favorite over at Dotties World

This week I am the hostess for the challenge over at Dotties World, and my words goes like this:

This week I thought you can get an easy challenge. We have to admitt to ourselves at least, that we often get favorites.
That can be a book, a flower, movie, friend a family member or whatever....
This week I want you to take your favorite Charmed One- a new or old and just make a card or project with it. You can do whatever you want, just have fun. But your favorite has to be a CHARMED DOWNLOAD.

So let me see lots of favorites this week, and have fun.
*Gunn*


For my card I used this Sweetie in the Boy oh Boy collection- he is really a favorite even tough I don`t play much with him.
I made it a birthday card for a litle boy later in the fall.

Paper are Bazzill, and Basic Grey Oliver.
Frame- fun stuff is from House of 3, I printed it out on sticker paper.
Sentiment is Norwegian and is a birthday sentiment.
I also used my QK and Spellbinder die.

So be sure to visit Dotties World and see what the other girls made. So be brave and take part in this challenge and have fun.

Summertime card

A new card with Kenny K girl and House of 3 papers. I really fancy these girls and have almost everyone. But never the less, this is my first attempt to play with them. So I deceided to try Kennyk challenge this time and the theme is: summertime.
This girl with ice cream is just perfect and House of 3 has this collection Summer Junque wich is perfect to go with this stamp. In my opinion at least.
So all my papers are House of 3 printable, the butterflie is MS punch and the papers are from an old book. I also added some pearls. And here is the result :-)

We got a new challenge for you at DW this sunday

Thise week Karen is the hostess and she just put out this about this challenge:

This week we would like you to frame something on your card. It could be framing an element, an image or indeed the card itself. Along with the frame I would like to see a few dots, how you present them is up to you.

This challenge is sponsored by Simon Says Stamps

So head over to the main blog- Stampin For The Weekend and take a look at what the rest of the DT has come up with. Pretty amazing things that`s for sure.

A wedding card

I just made a wedding card for a friend of mine. She wants to give it to her son. They are not the traditonal types of couple, more like bikers, so I tried to make this card their style.








I really hope they like this card. I have to say that I really enjoyed making this, so much fun.

The papers are Mara Johnsens line from a couple a years ago. The stamp is one I bougt ages ago, can`t remember from where.
Thanks for visiting I appreciate it.

Manly with a twist

This is Adeles wish over at Dotties World. So I just post what she said about this challenge:

Whilst looking through my stock box I noticed I am incredibly short of cards for men so I thought it would be a good idea to get a few in there rather than keep putting myself under the pressure of having to make them at the last minute - cards for men can be tricky enough as it is!

You have loads of images to choose from the Charmed Download collections so lets see what you can come up with........Now for a little twist, I want to see some ribbon on your manly cards!!

Great challenge, Me like... :-))

Here is my card.

Papers are from my stash, real old one and I am sorry but can`t remember from where.
Some bling that came in a kit long ago.
Sentiment is a PXS stamp.
My charmed one is Mickey from THIS collection.

So head over to DW and see what the other girls have done, and ofcours it would be fun if you joined us.
Wish you all a great sunday.
