Fairy Sofie

Scrapping is such a handy hobby!

This friday my daughters kindergarden had the annual carnival,

where all the kids dress up as something.

Normally the carnival is in February, but it was postponed

this year, and I did not think too look for a costume earlyer.

So on thursday when I went looking, there was nothing to find.

I was preparing to buy a little pirate-stuff, and just put together

a striped sweather and rip up an old pair of pants and tie a scarf

on her head to make a sweet little pirat,

when a nice lady at a store opened the box of costumes she

was getting ready to ship back.

I found this adorable angel-costume,

it was a dress and a set of wings. The dress was way to small,

but it was very elastic, so here is what I did:

I cut the skirt right off, so it became this adorable tutu instead.

I used my scrap stuff to create a magic wand out of a wooden star

and a set of chopsticks, pearl ribbon, pink pearls and a piece of tuille,

a rose and a silver bell to get a magic sound. 

The star was painted white and covered in white glitter,

then I used hairspray to make it stay on. 

The fabric I cut of the dress was used to cover this "not so pretty"

headband that Sofie got for her birthday. I decoratet with lace,  pearl ribbon and some

fabrik flowers cut from a flower-ribbon, and a round flower I made myself,

with some pink pearls for detail, to match the wand. 

Combined with a pink onesie and panty hose,

and some sparkle in her cheeks, she was ready to go.

I think she looks soooo adorable,

just have to brag a little. :) <3

Fairy Garden

I`m sorry about the terrible pictures,
but I made this card for the LOTV challenge,
and I had to post now, but I had lost the light when the card
was done. I`m SO looking foreward to summer, then it will always
be light when I need to take pictures of my cards.

The papers are from Pion Design.
I distresset the edges a bit with Vintage Photo.
I used my spellbinders, a doily, and a LOT of pearls.
Peachy pink is not a color I use much, so I did my best
to use a lot of the stuff I had lying around now.

The flowers are a mixture of Wild Orchid Crafts and Prima,
and I have used the last of my peach colored berries from Kort og Godt.
One pin is from WOC, the other I got from a sweet friend of mine. 

The lace is from WOC, and the sentiment is from Papirloftet.

I inked this super sweet Lili of the Valley Fairy up with my Distress Inks,
it was not easy getting the colors I wanted.
I also used a bit of Star Dust Stickles,
and White Opal Liquid Pearl. 

Challenges:
Lili`s little fairies challenge - Peach and Cream
Totally Gorjuss - Sketch
Papirdukkene - Pastellfarger

Thank you so much for visiting,
I hope you all are having a lovely day.

Butterfly Spring

Finally, a new card!
I had one almost done, but I was not at all happy, so I started again
and used the image on this one instead.

The papers are from Poppydesign. I love them so much,
have been saving, but I have decided to start using all my best papers,
so I can buy new ones later on. ;)

It may not show, but here I have a bow of seem binding ribbon.
I have used a mix of flowers from Papirloftet, Wild Orchid Crafts, Prima
and Kort og Godt. The bling swirl is from Prima, and
the brad is from Making Memories, 

I have used a piece of cardboard swirl, painted and stickled it up.
The butterflies are from Martha Stewart, I have used bling from
Kaizers Kraft and Diamond Stickles on them.
The pin is a gift from my dear friend Bonnie,
and I think I got the pearls from another sweet friend.

The ribbon is from Kutt Ut, and the buttons are vintage, except for
the pink one, witch is from The Ribbon Girl.
The lace was a gift, brand new. I used a piece of cardboard,
and the sentiment says "concratulations", its from Papirloftet.

Tilda is colored with Distress Inks, and I have used Stickles and Liquid Pearl.
The flourishes around the edges is another Magnolia stamp.

Pink, white and orange *GDT MDUC*

Ah, Magnolia!
Have you guys seen the new images?
I had a look yesterday, and I thought the new stamps would
annoy me, because it bugs me how every child is called
prince or princess these days, and there are kids
furniture with crowns on it, etc. Its just too much.
My child is not royal.
But, the Magnolias had a lot of supercute images,
at least one of them I REALLY want:

I looooove the Harry Potter series,

I have been reading the books for about 13 years.

So this image is a MUST have, eaven though I really shouldnt

spend any more money on scrapping. I`m doing a shop-stop.

But I guess I`ll make an exception for this special one. ;)

Now for my card.

This is my fourth and final card as guest designer for
Magnolia Down Under Challenges.
I had to much fun, and it was nice to have a reason to
make a minimum of cards even if I didnt have the time
or mojo to do it.
Thank you so much for having me!
This week the challenge is to use the colors
Pink, white and orange.

This time I used only one layer of paper (whaat?).

It is the sweet bunny-paper from Magnolia.

I have used flowers from Prima,

Petaloo and Wild Orchid Crafts.

I think the berries are from Kort og Godt,

and the pearl is from Kutt Ut.

I have used cheese cloth, my very last piece,

and a heart doily.

The buttons are from Basic Grey.

I think the hearts are from Panduro. They were red,

so I used some acrylic paint and Stickles on them.

The bling-thing in the flower is from Prima.

Notice the diamond pins!

The sentiment is from Magnolia. I love it,

but I`m horrible at using stamped sentiments,

I just cant seem to find the right plase to put it, and it

never fits with the other embellishments.

Must practise more at that.

The swirl I cant remember where its from,

but its also painted and Stickle`d up,

like the rest of the card.

The lace is from 

I chose to get this Tilda with my price certificate after winning

at the MDUC, and this is the first time I have used it.

Love her, she is a beauty!

I colored her with my Distress Inks,

and stamped with a Magnolia-stamp around the edges.

I swiped some acrylic paint on the image too.

I hope you all have a lovely weekend!

A big thank you to everyone who visit me,

love reading the comments. <3

Tilda and lots of flowers - GDT MDUC

This week at Magnolia Down Under Challenges they have

a wonderful sketch for us. I made a round card,

and as always I used so many flowers and embellishments

that you can hardly see the papers or what sketch I used.

I do love to decorate. ;)

The papers are from Magnolia and Inkido.

I scratched the edges

with Tim Holtz edge scraper.

The doily is from Panduro.

I love these bling-thingies, they are from Prima.

I used some lace from WOC too.

The flowers are a mix of Wild Orchid Crafts,

Kort og Godt, Storyteller and Papirloftet.

I used dies from Magnolia and one other,

and pins from WOC.

The scissors are from Kutt Ut.

I used a piece of Prima Cardboard as a tag,

and the end piece is sticking out here.

I also used pompoms, Seem Binding Ribbon and Pearl ribbon.

Tilda is colored with Distress Reinkers,

and I used Diamond Stickles on her clothes. 

Thank you so much for the lovely comments you leave for me.

I have been so busy, but I try to make a few rounds a week.

Hope you are all having a great weekend.

We have been celebrating my daughters third birthday,

so now we are all wiped out. ;)

Sixteen - *MDUC GDT*

This is my second card as Guest Designer for Magnolia Down Under Challenges.

This week, we want to see cards with one word sentiments.

My card is for my hubbys brother, who turns sixteen the day after

my daughters birthday. He babysit her a lot,

and is really a great boy. It was a perfect chanse for me to work

on my boy cards.

The papers I have used are from Magnolia.

I also used most of my last cheese cloth,

some pompoms, lace, ribbon and twine.

The bling swirl is from Prima.

It does not show,

but under the bow there are two charms

of a football and a football-shoe,

I paintet those white too.

I  also used a little die for those leafy flourishes,

I cant remember where it is from.

The letters are from Prima and American Crafts,

I dabbed them with white acrylic paint, and used stickles on them,

and a bit of Distress, to make them stand out.

The film strip is from Tim Holtz, it fits perfectly on a card for this boy,

he loves making movies.

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

I used my Martha Stewart snow flake punch,

and the brad is from Papirloftet.

I also added a doily, some pins,

and a snow flake chipboard.  

I colored this Edwin with my Distress inks.

I have been very busy with school and such,
so it has been a bit quiet from me lately,
but I have som more cards on the way,
and thanks to all who visit me.
I always love reading the comments you leave!

Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend.

Lots of Love *GDT MDUC*

I was asked a little while ago if I wantet to be a guest designer for

Magnolia Down Under Challenges in February.

I think maybe it was a pity-offer because of some bad luck I had

with contacting them after winning a challenge,

but I`m very honored, and happily accepted. :)

The challenge this week is titled "Love is in the air".

I made this card for a friend of mine, she has been sick

and in a lot of pain, and at the time the doctors still hadnt figured out

what was wrong with her. Its scary, cus its something in the brain,

that made her face hurt. So I figured she could use a little love.

The papers are from Magnolia. I have been wanting to do something

colorful and bright like this for a while. I dont know if this ended up

just how I wantet it, but I`ll try again. ;) 

The tag comes out like this, 

I have decorated it with cut out fans from Poppy design,

and seem binding ribbon from WOC and ribbon from Kutt Ut.

The pearls I got in my calendar. 

The flowers are a mix of Prima, Petaloo and Wild Orchid Crafts.

I have used some flower-ribbon from Bikuben, and large pearls.

The tag is Magnolia, and I used twine from WOC, and a charm.

The heart doily i also got in my calendar. 

Oh the horror of my handwrighting, I just hate it,

but nothing else fitted the card and the frame.

The frame is from Tim Holtz, I just love it.

The metal did not fit here, so I painted it. First with Crackle paint,

wethered wood, but it wasnt right either, and the paint

just came right off. Then I dabbed it in acrylic paint.

I used Crackle Accents to make the letters stick,

and give it back the crackled look.

The letters are from Cosmo Cricket, I think.

I have used Magnolia swirl dies, cheese cloth,

and a left over piece of pink bling. 

Tilda is colored with Distress Inks. Woops,

look at that. Now as I am making this post, I see that I forgot

a little something in her hair. I`ll have to fix that before sending it.

I have used a bit of Stickles and Liquid Pearl. 

Pink Mermaid

This is a card for my daughter, she turns three in February.

Yes, I`m early, but I need someone to make theese girlie cards to.

I think I need to have my family make more girls.

I have four brothers, and my hubby has three brothers,

and I really love to make cards like this. Boys/men`s card

I still need to work at. 

I have used papers from Magnolia and Inkido.

They are all really cute, so I`m sorry you cant see anything of them

other than that they are pink. I just cant help myself when

I get going with the flowers and stuff...

I also used almost all of my cheese cloth, I just have a few

little pieces left. Need more!

I had this idea, I`m not quite sure it works,

but I had to try, so I put the letters for her name in between

the flowers on the ribbon. The letters are from American Crafts,

they were pink and sparkling, very cute, but they didnt quite fit,

so I dabbed them with acrylic paint, and then added Stickles.

I think the ribbon are from Melissa Design,

and the bling you can see are from Prima. 

This chipboard swirl I cant remember the maker of,

but it got the same treatment as the letters.

The little heart pendant I got from my friend Elaine,

and the pompoms I got from another friend, Eva Marie.

In fact, I got quite a lot of the stuff I have used on this card, from her,

it was in my advent calendar. 

These lovely pins were a gift from yet another friend, Bonnie.

The heart doily was in my calendar so I dont know where that is from either.

The flowers are a mix of Wild Orchid Crafts, Storyteller,

Kort og Godt and Prima. 

Finally I think I got this Tilda right. I have used her a few times,

but this is the first time I am really pleased with how she turned out.

Her hair is sooo trickey!

I painted her with my Distress Inks, and I added Stickles

and Liquid Pearl. The number three I got from Crafts for You,

I won a certificate there a while ago, and I just had to get it

just to use on Sofie`s card. Love it. :)

This key is from Tim Holtz. This got the same treatment as the

swirl and letters, with paint and stickles.

I used ribbons from Kutt Ut, I think.
