Caardvark Sketchfest Friday

Finally Friday and the weekend. Yeah!

Among parties and shopping hopefully there will be time for some outdoor activities and some scrapping.

When I saw today's sketch I immidiately thought "Christmas Card"! Why not? It's not to early to start on the Christmas cards, is it?

Today's sketch:

Caardvark Sketchfest Thursday

Another day at the Caardvark Sketchfest!

Today I've made a card for our friend Frode who is celebrating his birthday on Saturday.

I have a little challenge for you and there is a RAK included: Post a comment and answer the two questions below. I let the kids draw a random name on Saturday at noon GTM :-)

Question #1: Wich year was Frode born?

Question #2: What kind of sport is Frode doing?

If' you don't have a clue, call his mum, or try googling him, for the answers

Anyway - Thursday's sketch

Caardvark Sketchfest Tuesday

Norsk nederst på siden

DS10 was going to a birthday party this afternoon. I have a large stack of cards, for every occation, but there was only ONE boy's card left! How come? I make boy's cards all the time! Where do they go? Do somebody eat them?

So to be prepared, I better make some more boy's card. My guess is that DS7 is next to be invited to a birthday card so therefore a card for a seven year old boy.

The Caardvark sketch:

My card:

Krise avverget, puh. Eldstebarnet skulle i bursdag i dag og det var bare ETT guttekort igjen. Da er det bare å sette igang å lage mere guttekort. Jeg tipper minstebarnet er den neste som skal i bursdagsselskap, så derfor har jeg laget et kort til en 7-åring.

Caardvark Sketchfest

Over hos Caardvark er det skissefest: nye kortskisser hele uken.

Over at Caardvarks, there is a sketch fest going on: new card sketches every day for a whole week.

Jeg prøver å få brukt opp litt rester, og så er jeg tom for småkort, og denne skissen var jo perfekt for et 3,5" *3,5" kort.

Right now I'm making an effort the get rid of some scraps, and by the way, I need some small cards. The Caardvark sketch is perfect for a 3.5"*3.5" card.

Takk for at du stikker innom :-)

Scoobiesketch #2 og #3

Emilie Arnheim har et supert bloginnlegg på WriteClickScrapbook om hvordan bruke sterke klare farger og mønstre i scrapbooking. Hun tipser om fargevalg, mengdeforhold mellom fargene og hvordan ulike mønstre passer sammen. Jeg fikk lyst å teste dette ut, men for å hjelpe meg til å fokusere på teknikken, og å slippe å bekymre meg om design, laget jeg meg Scoobiesketch #2.

Emilie Arnheim has a great blogpost at WriteClickScrapbook about how to mix bold patterned papers in scarpbboking. She has among others tips about color choice and how to mix different patterns. I wanted to try this out, but as a help to focus on the tecnique, and don't have to worry about design, I made Scoobiesketch #2.

Ved bruk av Emilie's prinsipper lagde jeg denne layouten (les her om hva hun skriver). Jeg følte jeg fikk prøvd ut farge- og mønsterkombinasjoner jeg tidligere ikke hadde turt å prøve.

By the use of Emilie's principles I made this layout (read here about it). I found I dared to use combinations of colors and patterns I never done earlier.

Jeg synes det fungerte bra og fikk lyst å prøve igjen, men denne gangen trenge jeg å bruke bilder i liggende format. Scoobiesketch #3 er egentlig ikke noe annet enn en variant av #2.

I think this worked out great and wanted to give it a second shot, but this time I wanted to use a landscape orientationed photo. Scoobiesketch #3 is really nothing but a twisted sketch #2.

Blomstermønstret papir og bilde av en høststorm, kan det gå bra? Vurder selv...

Flower patterned papers and a picture from an august storm, can this combination work? It's up to you to judge.
