Kort - cards

Før jeg ble scrapper lagde jeg kort. Mye kort. Men etterhvert ble det fler og fler layouter, og færre og færre kort. Men det hender jeg lager noe fortsatt :-)

Before I became a scrapper I was a card maker. I made lots of cards! But the more layouts I made, the fewer cards. But I still make some!


Hos MyScrapbooknook har vi alt du trenger for å bli inspirert til å lage kort: skisser, fargeutfordringer og selvfølgelig materialene og ideene. Ta en titt i forumets kortavdeling da vel, for å få litt inspirasjon og ideer! Våre designere kan virkelig det her med å lage kort.

At MyScrapbooknook we have everything you need to make cards: sketches, color challenges and off course the ideas and the materials. I invite you to take a look in the forum's card section to get some inspiration and ideas! Our designers know how to make cards, I promise you!


Her er noen kort jeg har laget de siste ukene:
Here are some cards I have made the last weeks:

Fussy hand cutting

Do you like it?

I'm a big fan and have been for a long time, but I believe it's a while since I have done it. But both the January and the February MyScrapbookNook kits had papers the shouted for me: Cut me - cut me!

So I cut.


First these snowflakes on Fancy Pants papers (January kit):







Then these Webster's Pages papers (February Kit):






I have more Webster's on the my desk, so guess what I'll be doing this weekend?

Zzzzz etc

DS11 must have been tired, falling asleep in the dogs' basket *lol*
I wonder why he layed down there in the first place...






Talking about dogs. I believe Scoobie has hung around with the kitten too much. It's isn't normal for a six year old dog to jump into an open box to play Peak A Boo, is it?



Both layouts are made with materials from MyScrapbookNook's January Kit

I Haz a Winter!

Actally I has a lot of things, but that's for sure - we have had real winter this season. December was dead cold, in fact one of the coldes in history, with an average temepratur of -10C (14F). Brrr.




DS8 got new down hill skis for Christmas - so he haz, too




And DS11 haz a winter scarf - Norwegian style :)




I got my January kit from MyScrapbookNook on Friday, and it was just perfect for those winter themed photos. But the kit was perfect for other photos, too - I'll show you in my next post, coming later this week. See you then!

Party time!

The winter is hard for the little birds around here so we feed them the whole season with seeds, nuts, grains and fat. And when we put out sheafs of grain, it's really party time for the yellowhammers!


This photo was taken just before Christmas when we put up a new sheaf of grains and I found that the MME Fine and Dandy, True Blue Collection, was a perfect match for this photo. I started working with the MME sketch at Blog Challenge #19, but chosed to work with it at a smaller scale on the 12*12 background paper, to get it all together like I wanted it to. There is no rule against that, is there *lol*?


The whole layout:
