A Spoonful of Sugar & Alphabet Challenge

Útskriftarkort gert eftir skabalóni frá Donnu. Mér finnst ekki þurfa mikið skraut á svona kort en varð nú samt að setja smá blóm :o)

A graduation card made with one of Donna´s templates. This is the type of hats that graduates wear where I come from :o) I am entering this card in two challenges: On A Spoonful of Sugar the theme is "anything goes" and on the Alphabet Challenge blog the theme for C is "clean and simple". After some consideration I decided that this is a clean and simple card as I did not use much embellishments although I can never do without some paper roses :o)

Scrappekammeret #29

Annað brúðkaupskort. Ég þarf greinilega að fara að finna mér nýja skissu til að vinna eftir, er ekki annars þetta lúkk orðið pínu þreytt? ;o) Tek með þessu korti þátt í áskorun á bloggi sem ég hef ekki tekið þátt í áður, Scrappekammeret heitir það og þar má í þetta sinn taka þátt með hverju sem er.

Another wedding card. Looks like I have to find me a new sketch to work with, this same old look is getting a bit tiresome, don´t you think? ;o) I am entering this card in a challenge on Scrappekammeret, my first time there. The theme is "anything goes".

Ást er ... / Love is ...

Hér kemur eitt óhefðbundið brúðkaupskort fyrir brúðhjón sem giftu sig ekki í kirkju og brúðurin var ekki í hvítum kjól heldur fjólubláum. Inni í kortinu er svo seinni hlutinn af textanum "... að gifta sig í fjólubláu".

I made an untraditional wedding card for a couple who got married without going to a church. The bride had on a lovely purple dress and I got inspired to use that info in the text. On the front the text reads "Love is ..." and on the inside is the rest of the sentence: "... to wear purple to your wedding".

Ferming / Confirmation


Hér koma tvö fermingarkort sem voru pöntuð hjá mér. Mér finnst alltaf pínu snúið að gera strákakort, ég reyni að hafa þau ekki eins mikið skreytt, en þó mega þau ekki vera of tómleg :o)

Here are two confirmation cards. I think it is always a bit tricky to make cards for boys as I don´t want them to be overdecorated, but I don´t want them to look too empty either :o)

Meiri íþróttir / More sports

Eitt boltakort í viðbót, í þetta sinn er það fótbolti handa fermingardreng :o)

Another sports card, this time a football for a boy who had his confirmation :o) Again I used the football template by Donna.

Boltaíþróttir / Sports




Ég var beðin að gera fermingarkort fyrir handbolta- og körfuboltaiðkendur. Ég notaði fótboltaskabalón frá Donnu til að gera handboltakortin, hafði bara alla reitina eins á litinn, en ekki suma hvíta og suma svarta eins og fótboltinn er. Svo bjó ég sjálf til skabalón fyrir körfuboltann með því að klippa út mynd sem ég fann á netinu.

I was asked to make some confirmation cards for kids who play handball and basketball. I used the football template by Donna to make the handball cards, I just made all the pieces with the same colour cardstock. I made the basketball template myself by cutting out a picture I found on the Internet. These are fun to make, next I will make two football cards.

One box, three challenges



Með þessu hjartaboxi tek ég þátt í þremur áskorunum, í þessum síðastnefndu tveimur hef ég ekki tekið þátt áður.

I am entering this heart shaped box in three different challenges:
Totally Gorjuss - pearls and lace
Stamp Something - cream and green
Southern Girls - flowers

In this box I gave away some home made jewelry as a birthday gift and put a personal greeting inside the lid after I took the photo :o)

Friday Sketchers #144


Ég var beðin að gera sextugsafmæliskort og ákvað að nota skissuna af Friday Sketchers blogginu.

I was asked to make a card for a 60 years old lady and decided to use the sketch from the Friday Sketchers blog. Love this sketch, but I felt I had to move the sentiment a short distance :o) Sorry for the bad photo.

Papertake Weekly

Á Papertake Weekly blogginu er ekkert sérstakt þema þessa vikuna nema ef vera skyldi blóm :o)

On Papertake Weekly this week the theme is "Anything goes" with flowers as an extra option. So I´m entering with this vintage lady card. I love this vintage lace and wish I had more of it but sadly I think this was the last bit :o/

L for Ladies


Ég var beðin að gera afmæliskort og þurfti að koma mér í gírinn aftur eftir smá hlé. Ég er mjög ánægð með útkomuna, finnst þessir litir æðislegir saman þó þeir hafi reyndar afbakast smá í myndatökunni. Með þessu korti tek ég þátt í áskorun á bloggi sem ég hef ekki séð áður, þar eru áskoranir í stafrófsröð :o)

I was asked to make a birthday card so I had to get back in the saddle again after a short break from cardmaking. I like the way this card turned out, I love those colours. I am entering this in a challenge on a challenge blog I only just discovered. It is called Alphabet Challenge Blog and they have challenges for every letter in the alphabet :o) This time it´s L for Ladies and they want to see Ladies on your work, not just cards for ladies!

Tækifæriskort / For any occasion

Gleðilegt nýtt ár !! Ég er að hugsa um að gera fleiri kort í þessum dúr, kannski með mismunandi textum. Það er gott að eiga á lager kort sem hægt er að nota við öll tækifæri.

Happy New Year !! I am planning to make a few more cards similar to this one, maybe with a few different sentiments. It is always good to have on hand some cards you can use for any occasion.
