A House Mouse card for the Friday Sketchers Challenge

This is the beautiful sketch this week over at Friday Sketchers challenge blog:

I think it's just fantastic and this is how my card turned out to be like.

I just love this House Mouse stamp; Berried. I embossed some of the berries with UTEE (Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel) but realized afterwards, that I should have colored them darker before embossing them. Oh, well... Better luck next time ;)

Here is a closeup of the berries:

"Get well soon" card for the SSS challenge and Just Magnolia challenge

I decided to combine two challenges into one card. The Simon Says Stamp challenge; Get well soon and the Just Magnolia challenge; this wonderful sketch:

Well, as always when you start off making a card, it usually doesn't always end up like the original sketch. Right???
That at least happened to me this time. I was going to make an oval circle (like the sketch says) but, then I realized that it would hide the embossed flower and I wanted to have that flower on the card... So, I decided to skip the oval circle and have the flower instead. I added some Stickles to it to make it "pop" a little. The text is in icelandic "Láttu þér batna" which means in english: "Get Well Soon".

Papers are from Bazzill, Chatterbox and the ribbon is from BoBunny.

Here is a closeup of the flower ;)

MMSC24 - Midnight Madness Challenge

I made a card for the MMSC 24 - Midnight Madness Challenge on Friday night.
I was quite happy about how it turned out, actually.
This is the sketch:

My dear daughter wanted me to take a picture of her with the card, she thought it was sooo beautiful ;)

And here is the card itself:
Papers are from Bazzill and Shabby Shoppe. The stamp is from House Mouse: Berry full - Mudpie.

Here is a closeup of the flowers. The pink ones are from Kristin Margret (they were a RAK) and the rose is from Lene (my blog candy gift).

My best friend ever, Jónína.

I made this scrapbooking layout last night.
The picture is of my best friend ever, Jónína.
We met almost 20 years ago and allthough we lost contact as teenagers (because of me moving to Norway and the Internet didn't hardly exist), we have found each other again and this time we will never loose each other again!!!
The small roses that I used are from Lene, they were in my Blog Candy ;)

A new card for the Simon Says challenge and Just Magnolia challenge

I made this card today for the Simon Says challenge, using as required, this sketch.

This is how my card turned out like. I think it also qualifies for the challenge over at Just Magnolia - Bright and Zingy. I used Bazzill and Bazzill Bling, sequens and Prima flowers and I sprayed them with Glimmer Mist, Pink Taffy. I've had this Glimmer Mist for at least a year now but still, this was my first time ever using it ;)

A card for Friday sketchers challenge, the Stampartic challenge and Incy Wincy Designs Challenge!!!

Hi there :)

Long time no written, well sort of at least ;-)

I've just had the best day with my darling daugter, Ástrós Erla and my hubby, Viðar.

First we went to the cinema and saw Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure and after that we went to IKEA. We are planning to buy a new kitchen table and we were looking at our options ;)

I made a card on friday night using this sketch from Friday Sketchers:

This is how my card turned out. It was quite a challenge, since we don't celebrate Halloween here in Iceland and this is my very first Halloween card, ever!!!
I got the stamped image and nearly all the papers and embellishments from Lene, it was in my Blog candy :D
This card also qualifies for the Halloween challenge at Stampartic and Incy Wincy Designs challenge no 14 ;)

A weekend trip with our friends!

Me and my hubby went on a weekend trip with 6 of our friends about a week ago.

It was sooooo nice!!! Even though we got all kinds of weather; snow, rain, wind, sun...

Of course I took a little part of my scrapbooking stuff with me, even though I wasn't feeling to good :o/
I managed to make 6 cards though so I was very happy :)

Magnolia stamp, papers from Fancy Pants.

Magnolia stamp, noname papers.

Magnolia stamp, papers from, Bazzill, Melissa Frances, Basic Grey and Chatterbox.

Magnolia stamp, papers from Chatterbox.

Magnolia stamp, cardstock and noname paper and ribbon from BoBunny.

My mother went to Norway...

... And asked me to make some cards, that she could take with her to show them to her friends.

I made 5 or 6 cards but I totally forgot to take pictures of them :(

When she got back, she had sold some of the cards but not all and here are the pictures that I took of the cards she didn't sell!!!

Flowers are from Prima, the stamp is Hänglar ( I think) and the papers are from all over.

The stamp I used is from Stampin'Up and the flowers are from Prima.

The stamp is from Stampin'Up, papers from Basic Grey and other cardstock and then I used Punchinella and embellishments from Making Memories.
