Cardabilities

are having a DT-call and I couldn't help myself for trying LOL

I made these two cards after sketches # 56 & 57

They are quite simple {my style} but I like them best that way.
I used the Studio Calico/Hero Arts stamps and some of my favorite MME papers

 

Finaste presenten ♥

från finaste vännen ♥

Jennie har gjort dessa fina ramar tillsammans med sina barn och jag tror nog ni fattar hur glad jag blev över gåvan ♥

Nu ska jag bara titta och klappa på dem ett tag innan jag kan använda dem

Tivoli

This is how we spent yesterday...

together with the lovely family Ingman. @ Tivoli in Copenhagen
 

The same photos - two designers or 2 Scrappy Friends IRL

{If you are looking for the blog hop... just scroll down.}

So last week we spent at Strömstad on the west coast of Sweden just half an hour from the Norwegian border. One of my dear scrappy friends Hilde a.k.a. Scoobie lives just on the other side of the border and so she and her family decided to come visit us.

Hildes hubby Cliff took some pictures of us and we decided both to scrap the same photos.

This is what I made:

 I only fited one of the photos while Hilde managed to fit in all 3. This is a sneak of what Hilde created (the full reveal you will see in her blog ):

This was the second time we met. When we went skiing at Trysil, Noway in March we were invited to stay the night at the Scoobie mansion on the way there. Normally we meet at our digital home My Scrapbook Nook.
 

New DT assignement

When I was first looking at the inspiration over at the Studio Challenges blog  I thought that this is a place I would like to represent. I really liked the creations of the team and of course the challenges.
I am so happy ♥ I made the new Studion Challenges design team.

Kolla vilken stämpel

som man kan vinna på Gummiapans blogg

det blev lite bråttom...

If you are looking for the blog hop... just scroll down.

Det finns en FB grupp som heter "en kväll, en utmaning"och då brukar utmaningarna komma upp kl 16 och sen har man till kl 21 på sig att skapa. Ikväll skulle vi på Sommarscenen-föreställning på Pildammsteatern och innan dess skulle barnen ha mat ... så det blev en snabb scrap för att hinna. Nu är jag tillbaka och hinner t.o.m. blogga. Utmaningen löd:

De grejer som måste vara med är följande:
* Färg = grönt. Små detaljer såsom tex i mönstrat papper kan vara i andra färger men försök hålla dig till enbart grönt.
* 1 stämpel
* Glitterlim i grönt eller transparent
* 3 knappar

Utöver detta får du tillföra vad du vill... bara ovanstående krav är uppfyllda... man får alltså inte ha mer än 1 stämpel eller mer än 3 knappar... men blommor, band mm mm är ok.

För mig är det svårt att inte scrappa med vit bakgrund men det fick man absolut inte. Så här blev min enkla layout:

Fotot är från vår semester i Strömstad i förra veckan.
Alla papper och tejp från YouDo.
Bokstäver AC
Stämpel PSA Essentials
Doily-dies från Cheery Lynn Designs

Inzpiras stora tävling - bidraget vecka 2

Eftersom jag hamnade på topp 20 *stolt som en tupp* i Inzpiras stora tävling så har jag inte fått visa det sista av de fyra bidragen. Men nu är det fritt fram. Utmaningen var att skapa en gåva och jag valde att göra en ABC-bok åt min 6-åring som snart ska börja skolan. Han blev mycket lycklig över sin gåva ♥

 

En kväll - en utmaning!

Det finns en FB grupp som heter "En kväll - en utmaning!" - mycket kul - där vem som helst får lägga upp en utmaning som varar i några timmar - sen är det bara att sätta igång och skapa och dela.
Så här blev min snabbscrapp:

med favoritpapper från Studio Calico, doilies från AC, tag från EP och mask från Crafter's Workshop

 

July inspiration challenge at SKWAD

The July sketch and color inspiration challenge is up at SKWAD Here is the inspiraion image:

and my take:

also this months class kits are now available in the shop. Here is one of the pages I made from this months kit.

As usual the kit comes with a step for step description on how to make the pages. perfect for any scrap-beginner or if you just like manuals :)

 

Negative

I saw a challenge I couldn't resist over at the Studio Challenges.  Use the negatives. I did. Both the negatives of the chipboard letter and two punched holes in the pattern paper.
