Papertake Weekly GDT (#2)

Þetta er önnur vikan mín sem gestahönnuður hjá Papertake Weekly. Ég speglaði skissuna til fella hana betur að myndinni sem mig langaði að nota.

This is my second week as a GDT for Papertake Weekly. This week we have a fabulous sketch to follow. I mirrored the sketch to make it fit the image better.

Stitch markers

Ég bjó til sett af sex prjónamerkjum og gaf þau góðri konu sem litla þakkargjöf.

I made a set of six stitch markers and gave them to a nice lady as a small thank you gift. I decorated the bag with the knitting girl from hÄnglar&stÄnglar. I like making these and will definately make a few more :o)

Papertake Weekly GDT :o)

Jibbí !! Ég varð þess heiðurs aðnjótandi að fá að vera gestahönnuður á Papertake Weekly blogginu í 4 vikur !! Þessa vikuna er áskorunin að nota blóm (ehh ... ekki mikil áskorun fólgin í því sosum!!) og þetta er kortið mitt. Ég er enn í vintage-ham og prentaði myndina út af netinu. Fannst soldið sniðugt að nota blaðsíðu úr gamalli bók þar sem sagan er um fugla :o)

Woohoo !! I was lucky enough to get to be a guest design team member on Papertake Weekly for 4 weeks !! This week the challenge is to use flowers (easy peasy!!) I am still in vintage mode and used a picture I printed from the internet. I am such a sissy when it comes to bulky flowers on my cards. As much as I love all those beautiful large roses and flowers I hate it when the cards don´t fit in any regular envelope. So I usually save the dimension for boxtops and such - unless of course the card is extra special and not supposed to go in an envelope :o) Maybe I just have to change my way of thinking ;o)

PP: Paper Cellar (wedding line) and a page from an old book

Sukkersött #83

Áskorun vikunnar sem er að líða á Sukkersött blogginu er að gera kort til að óska til hamingju með hvaða áfanga sem er. Ég tek þátt með þessu brúðarkorti.

This week´s challenge on Sukkersött is to make a card with any kind of congratulations. I am entering this wedding card with a vintage photo printed from the internet. The PP is from a pad from Paper Cellar, the line is called Wedding. The border punch is from Martha Stewart.

Papertake Weekly #40

Svindlaði pínu pons á skissu vikunnar á Papertake Weekly blogginu en vona að það komi ekki að sök. Tek þátt engu að síður :o)

I am entering this card in this week´s challenge on Papertake Weekly. I hope this qualifies even if I cheated a little bit on the sketch. I think you can still recognize the sketch, I did mirror it though. I am totally in love with my new MS Punch Around the Page punches and the gorgeous PP are from a pad from Paper Cellar, the line is called Wedding.

Sukkersött #80

Eitt gamaldags barnakort í áskorun vikunnar á Sukkersött blogginu. Prentaði myndina út af netinu og notaði blaðsíðu úr gamalli barnabók.

I had been thinking about making a vintage card for a few days when Sukkersött posted a new challenge on Friday and it happened to be "vintage" :o) So I printed a picture I found on the Internet and made a vintage baby card.

PP: Diane´s Daughters, Daisy D´s and a page from an old book
Flowers: Prima and unknown
Other materials: Tulle, brads and a computer generated ticket

Tvö fermingarkort / Two confirmation cards

Tvö fermingarkort sem ég gerði nýlega / Two confirmation cards that I made a few days ago.

A box of cards

Box eftir uppskrift frá Randi og 6 lítil tækifæriskort í stíl. Gaf þetta sem hluta af lítilli afmælisgjöf í dag.

I made this box following Randi´s template and made 6 small cards to match. My first attempt at closing the box with a magnet and I love it!! Must buy me some more of those. Thanks for all your inspiration Randi :o) This was a part of a small birthday gift that I gave away today. I think this is a nice thing to have when you need a card on short notice.

Cute Card Thursday #105

Þegar ég sá fyrir nokkrum dögum flotta kringlótta boxið sem Maya gerði mundi ég eftir staflanum af Dímon-boxum sem hefur safnast upp hjá mér og ég ekki tímt að henda. Ég tók mig því til í dag og skreytti eitt slíkt og ætla að skrá það til leiks á Cute Card Thursday bloggið þar sem áskorunin þessa vikuna er "dimensions" sem gefur til kynna að sköpunarverkið eigi að vera allt annað en flatt :o)

A few days ago when I saw on Maya´s blog the lovely round box she had made I remembered my pile of small round cheese-boxes that I have not had the heart to throw away. So today I altered one of them and I am entering it in this week´s challenge on Cute Card Thursday which is "dimensions". The large rose I made myself using a 6 petal flower punch, love that technique :o) The crystals were a gift from the lovely and talented Randi, thanks Randi, I am so in love with these crystals now :o)

PP: Chatterbox
Branch punch: Martha Stewart
Other stuff unknown

Ferming / Confirmation

Ég var beðin að gera annað fermingarkort svipað því sem ég setti hér inn fyrir tæpum 2 vikum. Fattaði þegar ég var að gera þetta að ég nota þennan bláa lit nánast aldrei!!

I was asked to make a confirmation card similar to the one I posted here 2 weeks ago only with different colours. I then realized that I almost never use this blue colour. I don´t know why I don´t use blue more, I like blue!!

PP: MME and BG
Stamps: Gorjuss Girl from Sugar Nellie, flower pot is cut from a hÄnglar&stÄnglar stamp
Flowers and roses: Prima
Branch punch: Martha Stewart

Eitt epli á dag ... / An apple a day ...

Eitt svona afþvíbara ... engin áskorun. Var að prófa að nota textamiðana sem ég prentaði út og er rosa ánægð með.

No challenge this time, just a little something to try out the tickets I just recently printed from my computer. The sentiment is in Icelandic and refers to the bowl of apples in the girl´s lap. Love the Twinkle Tots from the Greeting Farm, such cute images.

PP: Pink Paislee
Stamps: Girl from The Greeting Farm, swirls from BasicGrey, not sure about the chair
Pearls: Kaiser
Rest unknown

Friday Sketchers #93

Þessi skissa er áskorun vikunnar sem er að líða á Friday Sketchers blogginu.

This sketch is from Friday Sketchers. I made a gatefold card as I think it suits the sketch nicely but I am not too happy with how the card turned out. The card opens by untying the ribbon.
