Whiff of Joy Challange #41 and Sketch Saturday #62

My mojo came and went, not sure its back but I got a card made today. I fell in love with the sketch over at Sketch Saturday. I made a little twist on it though, instead of layering the squares I layered the bit inbetween. I'm also entering this card in the Whiff of joy challange #41 Floral. Hope you like it :)

Min mojo kom och gick, är inte säker att den är tillbaka men jag fick ett kort gjort idag. Jag förälskade mig i veckans sketch på Sketch Saturday. Jag gjorde en liten tvist på den, istället för att lager lägga rutorna så lager la jag mellan rummen. Jag deltar även med detta kort i Whiff of joy utmaningen #41 blommor. Hoppas ni gillar den :)

Whiff of Joy Challange #38

Okey, I know I'm out at the last minute, but I soo loved the sketch that Katharina made for the Whiff of Joy Challange so I just had to join in. The color scheme is a friends idea, she also wanted to have something for a friend that could incoperate several thanks and a congratulations. So inside are pockets to hold some tags with the messages on. Only thing is that when the card was ready I saw that the colors where maybe a little bit dark so I'll have another try some other time. But here is my entry:

Okey, jag vet att jag är ute lite i det senaste, men jag tycker verkligen sketchen som Katharina gjorde för Whiff of Joy Challange är helt underbar, så jag var bara tvungen att vara med. Färg schemat var en väns ide, hon ville också ha något till en vän som kunde innehålla flera tack och ett grattis, så på insidan är det fickor som kan innehålla "tags" som man kan skriva sina meddelande på. Färgerna blev i det lite mörkaste laget så jag kommer testa iden igen lite senare. Här är mitt försök på denna utmaningen:

Haven't been cardmaking in a while

Hi all!\ Hej alla!

Haven't been cardmaking in a while, my mojo just went right out the window. Have been swamped at work and have done a lot of stuff lately. All my weekends have been filled with fun socializing but that have left little time for crafting. Have been doing some crocheting, and is planing a bottle alteration. Pictures will be coming up later. My mojo is slowly making its return, and soon I be back cardmaking mad :)

Har inte gjort så många kort på sista tiden, min "mojo" har bara gått och försvunnit. Har haft massor på jobbet och gjort en massa andra saker. Alla mina helger har gått till att ha roligt med vänner, men det har gjort att jag har haft lite tid till att pyssla. Jag har virkat lite och planerar en flask-alteration. Bilder kommer senare. Min "mojo" kommer sakta tillbaka, snart är jag tillbaka som den kort galna människa jag är :)

Box #2 and three challanges

My boyfriends grandmother is having her birthday in a couple of weeks, so I decided to be out early making her present. After having so fun making the last box I just had to make another one. I'm entering this box in three challanges, Whiff Of Joy - Used the wonderful sketch that Bev made, ABC Challange - R is for roses and Colour Create - Blush Pink, Lilac and Moss Green.

Min pojkväns mormor fyller år om några veckor, och jag tänkte göra färdigt hennes present i tid. Efter att ha haft så roligt med att göra den förra lådan så gjorde jag en till. Jag deltar med den här lådan i tre utmaningar, Whiff Of Joy - Använde den underbara sketchen som Bev gjorde, ABC Challange - R är för rosor och Colour Create - Rosa, Lila och moss grönt.

Birthday present

A friend of mine is celebrating her 28th birthday tomorrow, and you can't come to a birthday party without a present. Well I bought her this ... and thought it would fit perfectly in a homemade box. I will be entering this box in the Just Magnolia Challange as I have used the lovely sketch on the top, and I will also be entering the Stamp with fun challange as the challange is "not a card".
En vän till mig firar sin 28:de födelsedag imorgon, och man kan ju inte komma till ett födelse-kalas utan en present. Jag köpte henne en ... och tänkte att den skulle passa jätte bra i en hemma-gjord låda. Jag kommer att delta med denna box i utmaningen på Just Magnolia bloggen eftersom jag använde deras skiss på toppen. Jag kommer även att delta i utmaningen på Stamp with fun bloggen då den utmaningen är "inte ett kort".

Simon Says Lets Craft With Tim :-)

Over at the Simon Says Challange Simon says Lets Craft With Tim. This week the creations shall be inspired by Tim Holtz. You can use his products for this challange but it's not a necessity. This challange is a little bit harder as I don't even do any distressing on my card usually, but it was a very fun challange. The only Tim Holtz product I own is a ink pad of distress ink, color old paper, this is used on the edges of the stamped picture, the edges of the mattening, on the flowers and on the gros grain ribbon.

På Simon Says Challange säger Simon låt oss pyssla med Tim. Denna vecka ska våra skapelser vara inspererade av Tim Holtz. Man kan använda hans produkter men det är inte en nödvändighet. Den här utamningen var lite svårare då jag inte ens brukar ha någon form av "distressing" på mina kort, men det var en rolig utmaning. Den enda Tim Holtz produkten jag äger är en stämpel dyna med Distress Ink, färgen är old paper, den använde jag på kanterna på den stämplade bilden, mattningen, blommorna och på bandet

Just Magnolia Challange Week 7

Well, Just Magnolia Challange is up to week 7, sadly I missed to enter the challange for week 6. But thats, that. This week the challange is Animals and Insects, I choose butterflies, both as a stamp and as eyelets. I had the matching Tilda and butterfly already painted up and choose the color theme from them, it wasn't until I was finished with the card that I took another look at the DTs creations and found that I actually used the same DP as Naoual. Here's my entry:
Just Magnolia Challange har kommit till vecka 7, tyvärr missade jag att delta i utmaningen för vecka 6. Men det är så det är. Den här veckan är utmaningen Djur och Insekter, jag valde fjärilar, både som stämpel och "eyelets". Jag hade redan målat upp Tilda och fjärilen sedan tidigare och valde färg schemat efter dem, det var inte förrän kortet var klart och jag tog en till titt på DT kreationerna som jag upptäckte att jag hade använt samma DP som Naoual.

The Next Level Challange 1 - Aperture/Cut out Card

There is launch time over at The Next Level, their first challange is - Aperture/Cut our card. I chose to make a pocket card with a tag in it. The aperture being a small square, out of which you can read the message on the tag one line at a time. I really enjoyed this challange, and hope for many more to come. The flower is a hand made faux Prima Lollipop flower, as I don't have alot of the materials on the tutorial I only made it with paper, no glittery materials or nothing.

Det är dags för första utmaningen borta på The Next Level, den första utmaningen är - Aperture/fönsterkort. Jag valde att göra ett fick-kort med en "tagg" i den. Det lilla fönstret är en ruta, ut ur vilken man kan läsa medelandet på "taggen" en rad i taget. Jag tyckte verkligen om den här utmaningen, och hoppas på ännu fler i framtiden. Blomman är en hand gjord fusk Prima Lollipop blomma, och eftersom jag inte har direkt något av materialen som används i beskrivningen så gjorde jag den bara i papper, inget glitter eller något.

Whiff of Joy and Papertake Weekly

I'm gonna go visit a friend today, her due date is coming up close and I thought I make a friendship card. And what do you know, the theme over at Whiff of Joy Challange is Friendship. I combined this challange with the wonderful sketch by Dawny at the Papertake Weekly Challange.
And my WOJ summer stamp set arrived yesterday so what a lovely chance to ink them up.
Jag ska åka och träffa en vän idag, hon kommer föda vilken sekund som helst och jag tänkte jag skulle ge henne ett vänskaps kort. Så vilken tur jag har att temat på Whiff of Joy Challange är Vänskap. Jag har kombinerat den utmaningen med med en underbar sketch av Dawny på Papertake Weekly Challange. Min WOJ sommar stämpel set kom i brevlådan igår ochså, så det var väl ett underbart sätt att få använda dem.

I kept my inside fairly simple but thought I show it to you as I just started to make the insides.
Jag gjorde insidan ganska enkel, men tänkte att jag skulle visa den till er eftersom jag precis har börjat göra insidorna.

Be Inspired #31

My insperations comes mostly from other crafters creations and from challanges. When I saw the Cuttlebug Challange - Be inspired #31 I was truly inspired. The challange was "Make a 3d project", all the DTs had made some sort of books. And after seeing all those lovely albums that Vikki over at Vikki's albums makes I just had to try my own. Not having any blank books or templates for one I constructed my own from bazzil basic cardstock.
Min insperation kommer mest från andra "crafters" skapelser och från utmaningar. När jag såg Cuttlebug Challange - Be inspired #31 så blev jag verkligen inspirerad. Utmaningen var "Gör ett 3d projekt", DT:na hade gjort olika slags böcker. Efter att ha sett alla underbara album Vikki gör på Vikki's albums var jag bara tvungen att göra den själv. Eftersom jag inte har några blanka böcker eller några mallar så konstruerade jag en själv av bazzil basic cardstock.

I found this wonderful but kind of busy paper that I wanted to use but haven't know where, until I saw the Creative Card Crew Challange. This week the challange is Minimal, so I let this beautiful paper talk.

Jag har hittat ett helt underbart men kanske lite plottrigt paper. Jag har velat använda det men inte kommit på till vad, tills jag såg utmaningen på Creative Card Crew bloggen. Denna vecka är utmaingen "Minimalt", så jag låter det vackra pappret säga sitt.

Colour Create Challange, Stamp with fun & Just Magnolia

This was a hard card to make, not the combinding the challanges part, that came all by itself. But acctually the challanges themselves.
First there is the Colour Create Challange #15 - Blue and Green, took a very long time until I found the cardstock and DP that went with each other.
Secondly there was the Stamp with fun challange #6 a beautiful sketch, but does anybody know how hard it is to make a good octagon without a template, finally I dusted of my knowledge in trigonometry and had something that was kind of symmetric.
And last there was the Just Magnolia Challange #4 - In stitches, I do like to sew, but my free-hand stitching sucks, I tried to make some lacy daisies but they woulden't look like I wanted, so I compromised, they became x-es.
I do like how it turned out tho :)

Haven't had that much time to craft lately, with all the time I spend comuting (3 hours a day), taking care of my home (well bf is doing most of it), taking care of our summer house(still bf does most...), getting the boat ready for the sea(bf too me just a little) and taking care of our pets(kitty and doggy).

Well during this time I gotten som reading done(no crafting on busses so what else is there), have been reading the Twilight serie and I just fell in love with it. When I was younger I did some live roleplaying, actually as a vampire so they gets me to remember the good old days. Well I'm of to work some more (having a lunch break)

Beauty, happiness, pleasure, success, luxury, dissipation.

The Empress is associated with Venus, the feminine planet, so it represents,
beauty, charm, pleasure, luxury, and delight. You may be good at home
decorating, art or anything to do with making things beautiful.

The Empress is a creator, be it creation of life, of romance, of art or business. While the Magician is the primal spark, the idea made real, and the High Priestess is the one who gives the idea a form, the Empress is the womb where it gestates and grows till it is ready to be born. This is why her symbol is Venus, goddess of beautiful things as well as love. Even so, the Empress is more Demeter, goddess of abundance, then sensual Venus. She is the giver of Earthly gifts, yet at the same time, she can, in anger withhold, as Demeter did when her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped. In fury and grief, she kept the Earth barren till her child was returned to her.
