Et lite spørsmål om å "kort-lifte" seg selv A small question about "card lifting yourself
Så - hvis jeg bruker den samme kartongen, samme pyntepapiret, noe av den samme stæsjet - på to kort som ellers er ulike både i form og uttrykk, har jeg ta klart det kunststykke å kort lifte meg selv? Jeg er litt nyskjerrig... :-)
Jeg lagde et herrekort her om dagen og jeg likte resultatet så godt at jeg bestemte meg for å bruke noen av de samme basismaterialene i et kort til min kjære venninne Hanne. Ideen til monogrammet fikk jeg gjennom utfordringen hos Caardvarks. Så kommer 1000-kroners spørsmålet: Har jeg liftet meg selv?
When we are talking about scrap lifting - or card lifting in some arenas - the rules about how much similarity there must be between the original and the copy are not crystal clear. But as a general rule one often say that "It must be obvious that the copy has picked elements from the original".
So - if I use the same CS, the same PP and some of the main ebelishments on two cards, different both in shape and expression, have I then managed to card lift myself? Just wondering... :-)
I made a men's card the other day and was so happy about the result, so I decided to use some of the basic materials for a card to my dear friend Hanne. The idea for the mongramme came from the challenge at Caardvarks. So here is the $100 question: Have I card lifted myself?

Think Pink #3
Englejul? Angels for Christmas?
Jeg er med i en julemerkelapp-swap på My ScrapbookNook, og jeg fant ut at disse materialene måtte passe ypperlig til dette formålet. Jeg satte i gang, lagde noen ekstra og disse ble til julekort. Og mens jeg var i gang lagde jeg likesågodt noen glansbildejulekort til...
No reason not to keep going (read below) so I pulled out some Christmas papers from Joanna Sheen and som angel stickers. They both give me kind of vintage feeling, but I have had no idea how to spend them - and I have had them for years.
I am joining a Christmas Tag Swap at My ScrapbookNook, and I found these items perfect for that purpose. I made som extras end turned them into Christmas Cards. And while I was in the mood, I made som more Angel Christmas Cards...
Out of the box
Lørdag var jeg på messa i Spydeberg og der hadde Kari Asdahl (Hei Kari!) noen klistremerker til salgs som ga meg skikkelige flashbacks - klistremerkene jeg kaller "peel offs". Jeg husker jeg kjøpte masse av dem da jeg startet med kort, men jeg fant liksom aldri helt ut av dem. Men nå kjøpte jeg ennå noen fler for jeg syntes de var så flotte.
Og så brukte jeg litt av helgen på blog hopping - hopping rundt uten mål og mening og uten å vite hvor ferden ville ende. Og det er jo bare så mye morsomt og kreativt ute i den store verden. Jeg stakk en liten tur innom Sukkersøtt også og fant DEN fine skissen.
Summen av Karis klistremerker, bloghopping og skissen jeg fant på Sukkersøtt resulterte i at jeg fant frem noen gamle papirer jeg ikke har ant hva jeg skal bruke til og laget dette herrekortet.
Jeg så for meg at dette skulle brukes til f.eks et farsdagskort, men eldste guttungen, som blir 9 år i dag, ba på sine knær om å få det til dagen sin. Og jeg som trodde han ville ha dinosaurus-kort...
Actually, I am a card maker, not a scrapper, but I have had a break from making cards as I got stuck in a track. But this weekend I got loose. It all started with some shopping in Spydeberg where Kari (Hi Kari!) had peel off stickers for sale wich gave me some great flash backs. I remember buying a lot of them when I started making cards, but I never really found out how to use them. But I still bought some more from Kari.
Then I spent some of the weekend blog hopping - you know just browsing around without any goals. And there is so much fun stuff out there! I also popped by Sukkersøtt and found this great sketch. The combination of the stickers from Kari, the bloghopping and the sketch I found at Sukkersøtt made me pick up some old papers I haven't found any use for, and I made this card. I thought of giving it away to a grown up man, but my oldest son, who is 9 today, begged on his knees to get this card. I thought he was into dinosaur cards...

The annual trip with the dads in the neighbourhood takes place in august. No mums allowed! There were so many pictures I wanted to use, so I chose to make a small album.

Have you visited the Norwgian Card Challenge Blog Sukkersøtt?? If not, may be on time? They are celebrating their coming 30' posts, and have promised a RAK for one of their wiewers.
Bruk linkene! Use the links!
They are full of great ideas if you need anything new, has got stuck in a track, or just need somthing beautiful to look at.
Som for eksempel utfordringene fra Papertakeweekly Jeg lagde dette kortet til en av utfordringene derfa: ikke bruk stempel (teksten er en cutout)
Like the challenges from Papertakeweekly I made this card for one of their challengenges; Don't use stamps. The sentiment is a cut out from a paper.
Utfordring fra Sukkersøtt /Challenge from Sukkersøtt
The Norwegian Card Challenge Blog Sukkersøtt has great challenges. This time we were supposed to use only the colors green and brown
