No more cards !

Wow I'm tired of making cards. The last month I made 47 cards, because my colleague had to sell some of them this weekend. How many she has been sold, I have no idea yet. So now it stands on scrapping in the near future .

Hold da op jeg er træt af at lave kort. Den sidste måned har jeg lavet 47 kort, fordi min kollega skulle sælge nogen af dem her i weekenden. Hvor mange hun har fået solgt, aner jeg ikke endnu. Så nu står den i den nærmeste fremtid på scrap.

A couple of my christmas card
Et par af alle mine julekort

Yesterday I was at the very last crop of Dreampapers which unfortunately shut on November 30. I've really enjoyed, being a part of Annettes design team and have had many fun and good teaching experiences. I have learned so many nice people to know through this cozy shop. I come in the degree to miss the cozy crops with good service, delicious food, great prizes and pleasant company.

I går var jeg til det aller sidste crop i Dreampapers, som jo desværre lukke d. 30 november. Jeg har virkelig nydt ,at være en del af Annettes designteam og har haft mange sjove og gode undervisnings oplevelser. Jeg har lært så mange søde mennesker at kende gennem denne hyggelige butik. Jeg kommer i den grad til at savne de hyggelige crops med god betjening, lækkert mad , fede præmier og hyggeligt selskab.

Yesterday I succeed to make whole 2 ½ layout ... so here come the two which were finished
I går lykkes det mig at få lavet hele 2½ layout...så her komme de to der blev færdige

The idea of hanging the pictures are liftet from Jana Eubank

christmas cards

I'm still not quite on top, coughing and snotty, but it is moving forward. Today, it has been on pure relaxation and comfort in my scraproom. A colleague is going to have a booth at a flea market next weekned and have asked me if she should sell some of my cards, so right now I´m making more cards than layouts.

Jeg er stadigvæk ikke helt på toppen, hoster og snotter en del, men det går fremad. I dag har den stået på ren afslapning og hygge i scrapværelset. En kollega skal have en stand på et kræmmermarked i næsten weekned og har spurgt mig ,om hun ikke skal sælge nogle af mine kort, så lige nu står den mere på kort end scrap.

Here are three cards that I have made today
Her er tre kort, som jeg har fået lavet i dag
This is my contribution to the challenge, which is now running at over 1-2-3-scrap, where you must use flowers, lace, bling and glimmermist.
Det her er mit bud på udfordringen ,som lige nu kører over på 1-2-3-scrap, hvor man skal bruge blomster, blonde, bling og glimmermist.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a fantastic weekend.

home again

So we are home again after a fantastic trip to Disneyland Paris. The drive down there went very well and this year we found our hotel in Belgium, almost seamlessly ; O)
Tuesday we took the metro into Paris and had seen the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe and Notre Dam. We ate lunch at a nice cafe down by the Seine.
Wednesday and Thursday we spent at Disneyland. Signe and I was unfortunate enough to try to hand firmly in a roller coaster. It was obviously in a dark tunnel, it chose to stop. We sat there for about 20 minutes before it got started again and it was really cold. Fortunately they were nice to inform the speaker and within 5 minutes the light was switched on and an employee arrived to us after 10 minutes, so there was no panic.
Thursday afternoon I was unfortunately ill and had fever, so the 18 hours in the car on the way home on Friday was very long.

Så vi hjemme igen efter en fantastisk tur til Disneyland Paris. Køreturen derned gik fint og i år fandt vi vores hotel i Belgien, næsten uden problemer ;O)
Tirsdag tog vi metroen ind til paris og fik set Eiffeltårnet, Triumfbuen og Notre-Dam. Vi spiste frokost på en hyggelig cafe ned ved seinen.
Onsdag og torsdag tilbragte vi i Disneyland. Signe og jeg var så uheldige, at prøve at side fast i en rutchebane. Det var selvfølgelig i en mørk tunnel, den valgte at stoppe. Vi sad der i ca 20 minutter inden den kom igang igen og det var rigtig koldt. Heldigvis var de flinke til at informere over højtalerne og i løbet af 5 minutter blev lyset tændt og en medarbejder ankom til os efter 10 minutter, så der var ingen panik.
Torsdag eftermiddag blev jeg desværre syg og fik feber, så de 18 timer i bilen på vej hjem om fredagen var meget lange.


I'm still sick, but now things are moving, so hopefully I will soon be on top again.
Jeg er stadigvæk syg, men nu går det fremad, så forhåbentlig er jeg snart på toppen igen.

a great weekend

I've had a fantastic weekend for the convention on Funen. Lovely company on the journey of Maria and Annette. We stayed at a training center in Middelfart, as head far out into the woods and where breakfast was brunch without herring.

Jeg har haft en fantastisk weekend til convention på Fyn. Dejligt selskab på turen af Maria og Annette. Vi overnattede på et kursuscenter i middelfart, som låg langt ude i skoven og hvor morgenmaden var brunch uden sild.

To convention, there were four sketch contests, as one might choose to do at home or on site. Here are the cards I made for competition.

Til convention var der fire skitsekonkurrencer, som man kunne vælge at lave hjemmefra eller på stedet. Her er de kort jeg lavet til konkurrencen

and the two layouts, where I was fortunate enough to win first prize in one "my roots"
og de to layouts, hvor jeg var så heldig at vinde første præmien på det ene "my roots"
Besides the competitions, I made these two layouts where I have used sketches from Mona

Ud over konkurrencerne fik jeg lavet de her to layouts udfra skitser fra Mona.

I had indeed spent some money, but had the whole 20$ to take home, which is unlike me ;O)

jeg fik da også brugt lidt penge, men havde hele 100 kr med hjem, hvilket ikke ligner mig ;O)

Thanks for stopping by.

I love challenge

If you're like me, loves challenges, so I have here a few you should check out.
Hvis du som mig elsker udfordringer, så har jeg her et par stykke du bør tjekke ud.

The first is over at 1-2-3-scrap, where you'll create a layout where you use numbers from different fonts. A good way to clean up all our incubation Thicker ;O)
Den første er ovre på 1-2-3-scrap, hvor du skal lave et layout, hvor du bruger tal fra forskellige fonte. En god måde at få ryddet op i alle vores udrugte Thickers ;O)

Here is my suggestion.
Her er mit forslag.
Are you more for cards, perhaps this one over at Kort o mania is more you. Here you'll create a map where you are at least 1 stamp.
Er du mere til kort, så er den over på Kort o mania måske mere dig. her skal du lave et kort , hvor du bruger mindst 1 stempel.

Here is my suggestion.
Her er mit forslag.

I was at my sister's wedding yesterday, so today I have been tired, but I have managed to make a Christmas card.

Jeg var til min søsters bryllup i går, så idag har jeg været noget træt, men det er da blevet til et enkelt julekort.

Thanks for stopping by.

a fantastic weekend

I've had a fantastic weekend in Jutland. Friday evening I took the train to Holstebro, where Anette pick me up. We drove home to her place, where we got some food. and then we went to bed. Saturday morning we drove to late summer crop of Boarding. A whole wonderful day with wonderful goodie bags, nice people, delicious food and not least the ability to shop.

Jeg har haft en fantastisk weekend i Jylland. Fredag aften tog jeg toget til Holstebro, hvor Anette hentede mig. Vi kørte hjem til hende, hvor der ventede lidt mad. der næst var det på hovedet i seng.Lørdag morgen kørte vi til sen sommer crop i Bording. En hel fantastisk dag med dejlig goodi bags, søde mennesker , lækker mad og ikke mindst muligheden for at shoppe.

I did actually have time to scrap. My layout I had made from home to sketch competition.

Jeg fik faktisk også scrappet lidt. Mit layout jeg havde lavet hjemmefra til skitsekonkurrencen

My scrap crisis is over

The whole summer I have a small scrap crisis. I have had made a lot of cards, but hardly any layouts. Today, fortunately, I had broken the vicious circle and made a layout.

Hele sommeren har jeg har en mindre scrap krise. Jeg har fået lavet en del kort, men stort set ikke nogle layouts. I dag fik jeg heldigvis brudt den onde cirkel og lavet et layout

I have been playing with stamps and Glimmermist. The swirl, I have dyed with alcohol ink and I´m actually satisfied with the outcome.

Jeg har leget med stempler og Glimmermist. Bling swirlen har jeg farvet med alkohol ink og er faktisk god tilfreds med resultatetThursday, I received a package from Dreampapers with the new paper series that Annette, and Sofie have designed. As Annette just have got perfect pearl in the store and would like a "how to" with it for store blog, it was obvious to use it for these cards.

I torsdag fik jeg en pakke fra Dreampapers med den nye papirserie, som Annette og Sofie har designet. Da Annette lige har fået perfect pearl hjem og gerne ville have en "how to" med det til butikkens blog, ja så var det jo oplagt at bruge det til disse kort.

I have played with my new punch from Martha Stewart. it is really smart with the corner punch, but I think it is hard to get edges and corner to fit together. Good tips are welcome

Her har jeg leget med mine nye punch fra martha Stewart. det er rigtig smart at der høre en hjørnepunch til ,men jeg synes godt nok det er svært,at få kanter og hjørne til at passe sammen. Gode tips modtages gerne.

Thinking Inking week 9

My holidays are over and the first week at work was hard, so I have not had the large surplus to participate in the last week of Thinking inking the course. Week 9 had forkus the best from all the weeks .... distress ink, alcohol ink and putting it all together into a layout.

Så er ferien slut og den første uge på arbejdet har været hård, så jeg har ikke haft det store overskud til at deltage i den sidste uge af Thinking Inking kurset. Uge 9 havde forkus på det bedste fra alle ugerne....distress ink, alcohol ink og at sætte det hele sammen til et layout.

However, I manage to make a single card, where I have played with white pigment ink resist technique. I've used one of my new stamps from Hero Arts. They make some cool stamps.

Det blev dog til et enkelt kort, hvor jeg har leget med white pigment ink resist technique. Jeg har brugt et af mine nye stempler fra Hero Arts. De laver altså nogle fede stempler


Unfortunately the Thinking inking classes is over for this time. It has been 9 wonderful weeks with lots of inspiration and I will obviously play on with the techniques I have learned.

Desværre er Thinking Inking kurset slut for denne gang. Det har været 9 fantastiske uger med masser af inspiration og jeg skal helt klart lege videre med de teknikker jeg har lært.

By the way I have told, that I was one of the lucky winner of the draw in week 7 . Today my prize arrived from Jennifer McGuire herself my big stamping idol; O) it was so awesome clear stamps.

Har jeg forresten fortalt ,at jeg var en af de heldige vinder af lodtrækningen i uge 7. I dag kom så min præmie fra selveste Jennifer McGuire mit store stemel idol ;O) Det var nogle fede clearstamps

I have also participated in the Christmas card challenge over at Scrapsisters where I made this card with alcohol ink.

Jeg har også deltaget i julekort udfordringen over hos Scrapsisters, hvor jeg lavet dette kort med alcohol ink.

Thinking inking week 8

This week Thinking inking class over at Two peas in a bucket is focuses on Perfect Pearls (a pigment powder) from Ranger.

Denn uges Thinking Inking class over på Two peas in a bucket fokusere påPerfect Pearls (et pigment pulver) fra Ranger.

On this card I painted the chipboard cirles with crackle paint and then I sprayed a mix of perfect pearls, distress reinker and water on it.

På dette kort har jeg først malet chipboard cirklen med crackle paint, dernæst har jeg blandet perfect pearls , et par dråber distress reinker ( i lilla) med vand og sprayet det på cirklen.
On this little box I used distress ink and then flicking some gold perfect pearls mixed with water on the box.

Til denen lille æsker, som er en del af noget bryllups inspiration, jeg laver for DreamPapers ( kan ses der næste lørdag) har jeg først farvet kartonet med distress ink og bagefter dryppet guld perfect pearls blandet med vand på.
Min tanker er at æsken kan bruges til bordkort
A weeding card
Et bryllupskort

and a look inside the card

Thinking Inking week 7

I enjoy my holiday, I been relaxing, spending time with my family and have changed the day and night. Fortunately, I have one more week left, so I can get back on track again.
Later this afternoon Signe and I are going to my parents place in Sweden, where we will be a few days. We are going to visit Skåne Animal park and of course a trip to Scraproom.

Jeg nyder min ferie, får slappet af og har vendt op og ned på nat og dag. Heldigvis har jeg en uge mere tilbage, så jeg kan få rette op på tingene.
Senere i eftermiddag tager Signe og jeg over til mine forældre i sverige ,hvor vi skal være et par dage. Vi skal blandt andet i Skåne Dyrepark og selvfølgelig en tur forbi Scraproom.

This week over at Two Peas in a Bucket the Thinking Inking class is focuses on Sticky Back Canvas and Claudine Hellmuth Studio Paints from Ranger... and combining them with stamping.
Since I don`t own these paint and they can not be obtain in Danish stores, I decided to try these techniques with paint dabber from Ranger and paint from Making Memories.

Denne uges fokus i Thinking Inking class over på Two Peas in a Bucket er Stickey Back canvas og Claudine Hellmuth maling fra Range . Da jeg ikke ejer nogen af disse malinger og de ikke umildbart kan opdrives i danske butikker, så besluttede jeg mig for at prøve med paint dabbers fra Ranger og maling fra Making Memories

I think the result was not particularly good, I think this is due to the paint, but here are my miserable cards anyway

Jeg synes ikke resultatet blev særligt godt, jeg tror det skyldes malingen , men her kommer min kikset kort alligevel.

Here I used paint dabbers
Her har jeg brugt paint dabbers
and here it´s paint from Making Memories
og her er det maling fra Making Memories

Finally, I have a layout to show. It´s not much I have beent scrapping lately, I have done most cards. I´ve used July sketch from Prima.

Endeligt har jeg et layout at vise, ikke meget jeg har fået scrappet på det sidste, jeg har mest lavet kort. Jeg har brugt juli skitsen fra Prima.Thanks for stopping by and ehjoy the summer

Tak fordi du kiggede forbi og nyd sommeren
