2012-02-21T09:00:00.001+01:00

Good morning my sweet friends!

I am on vacation, but I just had to check in with you to show you the news in the Teddy Bo shop this week. We are starting a new challenge today and wants you to use pearls and swirls.

Thats an easy one for the most of you :)

And one of my favourites! I am sorry that I don't have a card to show you, but I am way to busy digging in tha sand, working on the tan and just relaxing!

Here you can see the news in store today

Look at those fantastic images!

So perfect for the easter

And more and more products are coming in the store,- dies, cardbases, embossing folders, fantastic charms and ALOT more!!

A weddingcard :)

2012-02-19T09:00:00.002+01:00

Good morning!

I have made a weddingcard that one of my friends ordered.

This time I have tried something new, I have seen this type of card but never made one myself :)

No coloured image, that's not often!!

A recipe of love inside

I cut out a heart in white cardstock and added a heart doily and covered the whole thing with flowers. The result was gorgeous I think and the only stupid with it is that I don't have any white flowers left...

But I guess WOC has plenty!

I have used a lot of pearls, a key die and a handcut banner with the happy couple's name.

My flowers is a mix from my stash, and I think I have flowers from WOC, Kort og Godt, Petaloo, Prima and Papirdesign! Each and everyone special :)

Thats all for today friends

Have a nice day

Hugs

The beautiful image is from Teddy Bo and it's called "A precious baby Bea" but I needed it for a boy, so today Bea is blue :)

Here you can se the wonderful Pion papers. The punch is from Ek tools

A spellbinders frame.

All my flowers are WOC, Storyteller and Kort og Godt and the little babyshoe-charm is a gift from my lovely friend Edna :)

TPS Milk carton

Hi friends

Today we are starting a brand new challenge over at Tickled Pink Stamps Challenge and this time we want you to be creative and do....

Shaped cards

I am not sure if I am following the rules, since it's a box, but it defintly is shaped *blink*

I have made a milk carton as a birthdaygift for a man. Inside you can put Choclate, movie tickets or a perfume. Your choice!

I have used one of the newest images from Tickled Pink Stamp and this one is called Apollo Lestat and come from the new collection named Lil Gods Collection. They are all fantastic!

I have found the tutorial on the milk carton here, but I have changed the size a bit, so mine is cut out of a cardstock that is 8 x 11"

I think the text is perfect for my card! Marit have made it, and you should check out her wonderful blog as she have some great digi sentiments(freebies!), does the most fantastic work and always gives me a lot of inspiration. Thanks Marit!

I have used such cool papers from Bo Bunny, et cetera collection, bought at Bikuben, like the most of my other stuff!

Ribbon from stash and the wooden button comes from Prima, so lovely!

This one is also a freebie text, but this time I have got it from Lynne, just coloured around it with Copics and also coloured my bling with Copics.

Copics used here is:

Skin: E13-11-00-000

Hair: E59-57-55

"Dress": E81, W0 and blender O

The red details on the dress is: N7, E19-07

Good morning my friends!

Today I am hosting the challenge over at CopicMarkerNorge

and this time we would love you to show us your best

Folding technique!

I love folding cards, I think they are so much fun to make and I belive it is fun for the reciver to get a really special card.

My card today is nothing I have come up with by myself,
I am not that good...lol

I have borrowed Carina's idea, and I hope you like it!

It is a tri-shutter-card with a 6x6 front panel

The image is the lovely Teddy Bea from Teddy Bo

Papers from MME, lost and found 6x6

Seambinding from WOC, pearls and the key is a die from Marianne.

I have also added a little bell left from Christmas and the sound of it is just so sweet :)

This is what it looks like when you open it up.

The round sentiment and the Fabulous one is a free digi from Marit.

Thanks for sharing sweetie :)

The Angel one is from TLC

I have used my newest Nellie Snellen around them and the swirl is from Cheery Lynn

A D'Arcy map for Johanne

2012-01-14T08:00:00.004+01:00

Hi my friends!

I hope you are all well and enjoys whatever life bring you today
The wonderful D'Arcy's Diaries had the release two days ago and don't you just love her?
I know I do, that's for sure :)

A long time ago I found a tutorial on a gardener's gift, that I saved for making later. Some days ago I made one, but instead of putting packets of seeds in I thought I would save my Copics combinations there. I colour up images in my favorite colourcombinations and save them for later, and then I easy can see how it looks like before I paint my image in a combination that dosn't fit together...

That was the plan!

BUT, my youngest niece Johanne fell in love with this map and wondered if she could buy it from me.. She is nine years old and my sweetheart, so of course I gave it to her..She was thrilled! :)

This is how it looks like and if you want to make you own, here is the tutorial

Image is the new released D'Arcy's Diaries_03, found here

The front of the map with another gorgeous girl, D'Arcy's Diaries_01

From the side

The map has two rooms to put a gift in, seed packets, images (like my original plan, lol) or whatever you like!

The image you can see a glimt of, you have to wait a few days more for...

But 12th january D'Arcy's Diaries released theese fantastic images:

Hope you will love theese images like me, I tell you they have all captured my heart!

I just wan't to colour and make cards all the time :)

I will show you some more inspiration with D'Arcy soon again,

and if you head over to the DD blog you find alot!

Until next time my lovely friends,-

Take care

Big hugs to you all from Jill

Fairytale friday, last for 2011

2011-12-30T10:00:00.045+01:00

Gooood morning friends :)

The year 2011 is soon ended and we are about to enter 2012.

I found out I wanted to write down some of the things I am happy for

I have had a fantastic year.

I am so happy that I have my family, my husband and our kids, my parents and my sisters around me. Thats means the world to me.

And I got my crafting life,- my blog, my crafting space, my design teams and my wonderful friends all around the world. I enjoy life the way it is right now.

I have almost blogged a year now and it has been a joy from day one. When I look at the cards I made when I started my blog I can see that I have learned a lot. My colouring skills are much better now because of all the inspiration, all the tips from other crafters, all the tutorials I have watched and of course all the colouring I have done :)

I have been so lucky to be a part of some fantastic design teams in 2011.

I was with Allsorts for 5 months, thank you Brenda for a fantastic time with you girls!

I was in the DT at Sukkersøtt for 6 months, and enjoyed every second of that too. Thank you Nancy for everything!

Right now, I am in Tickled Pink Stamps DT and love to work with theese fantastic images.

I have recently been lucky to become a member of the CopicMarkerNorge DT too, a really fantastic group with talented Norwegian crafters that I really look forward to work with.

And last, but not least,- I am part of Teddy Bo design team. From day one I have loved the bears and making card with theese images is a pleasure. So thank you Gayle for letting me be a part of a fantastic team, letting me work with the most beautiful graphics and most of all thank you for all friendship from you and the rest of the design team. MWAH!!

That was a little of my thoughts ;)

This is my card with the same image that I used yesterday,

but in totally different colours:

The back

The inside with the text I have got from Maritha a long time ago.

Gabriella said that this was her card, so the text is just perfect for both her and the lovely Teddy Bea in a Cat costume ;)

Image is TEDDYBEA_103 again...LOVE it!

You find it here

Coloured with Copics as usual

Papers from Panduro

Seambinding and flowers from WOC and Maritha :)

Sooo like the kind mother I am, I asked the lovely Teddy Bo boss herself if she please could help me out! Of course bloglands best boss did that and the monster fell alsleep with the graphics in her hand.. She has made a lot of "cards" with this image and today it was my turn :)

I think this is a perfect image for baby cards to, my talented friend Maritha did one for a baby girl and you find it here, it is fantastic!

Today we have sad news to share at Sukkersøtt.

The challengeblog will take a long break, hopefully we will open for challenges again later next year, but right now we don't know when or even if.

But we have one last challenge for you, with both team A and B showing their work.

Christmas tag

I have made some stockings for my nieces for christmas.

Hi friends in blogland!

Even tho christmas is coming closer I have a rather summerly birthdaycard to show you today.

I am so lucky to be guestdesigner at Penny Black and more at Allsorts this month, and my card is for the new challenge starting today,- wich is an easy one......

Birthdays

I think it is perfect, since I often need a birthdaycard,
especially when I don't have the time to make one..

For my card I have used the beautiful Penny Black image called

"Reach for the stars", PB4047K

Colored with Copics, added Stickles, star dust to the stars and dress

Flowers from WOC

Ribbon from Amerikan crafts

Calendarstamp from LOTV

Beautiful designpapers from Papirdesign and the dotty one is from a really cheap
store at my shopping center, called "Søstrene Grene"

I got it from my sister as a gift, she is so kind and she always look for crafting goodies for me!

I have dotted around the image with liquid pearls.

Rub on from MF (I looove rub ons!)

Hope you like my card :)

Be sure to join the girls at Penny Black and more at Allsorts this month as they have some fantastic prizes. You can use a stamp from any company you want and the only rules is that it have to be a rubber stamp, not a digi.

Have a nice day!

White christmas and a pig...

2011-11-29T08:00:00.006+01:00

Good morning blogland!

Since december is coming closer I have to speed up a bit with my christmascards!

We have a new challenge at Teddy Bo today and we are going for.....

White Christmas

Ohhh my Godness was my first thought...

After cleaning my house to get control of my nerves *hihi*

-I rolled up my sleeves and made this-

A White christmas PIG tag :)

I painted the tag white,

used the new released image FAIRYD_TB_PICKLES_002 found here

Coloured with Copics, added glossy and snow marker

I have glued a old bookpage with Glue'n'seal on the bottom of the tag

Used a white paper doilie and some big snowflakes, a feather

and the numbers 24 painted white

All the embellishments comes from my stash, a little from here and a little from there :)

Same on the back with the glue'n'seal and bookside, but I need more practice..

But the effect is very cool :)

Christmas rhyme from NSS

Isn't this just a cute pig!

He maybe looks a little lost there in all the white snow, hehe!

My princess loved it and said she needed it when she was going to bed.. Kids...LOL

Hope you can join us at Teddy Bo this week and I can't wait to see your white creations!

This is this weeks release:

Good morning my sweet friends

Every monday my sweet teamie Claire from Teddy Bo give you the Mojo monday post at Teddy Bo blog.

For Sue

2011-11-26T08:00:00.005+01:00

Today at Allsorts we have a really great theme for you!

The lovely Helene is the smart brain behind it and she wants you to use

Flags/pennants/bunting

This is what I did for the challenge

Can you belive I actually made a card without a coloured image!

The fantastic sentiment comes from the Pink Ribbon release over at Tickled Pink Stamps and it was to raise money for breastcancer during october.

I just love it.

Like you see on the front banner the card is for Sue, one lovely english lady who loves her cuppa, thats why the little teapot.

After seeing Nicoles fantastic cards with rounded edges I drove to Bikuben and bought me a MF corner rounder a while back, and I love it! Thanks for the inspiration sweetie!

My sister didn't belived that I had made this card, since it it so diferent from what I normally do...

My flowers are from Maritha, my kind, sweet and true friend. Takk vennen min!

And the swirl...yeah, it's my old Magnolia one... hihihi, think I need a new one :)

Ohhh I almost forgot!

THE papers, they are so beautiful, you cant belive it!

They are from the christmas range from Poppy design, by Vibeke Spigseth.

They are my alltime favorite :)

Check them out HERE

Hope you can join Allsorts for the Flags or pennants challenge!
This is my last challenge as a DT member for Allsorts as I have decided to step down from the DT.
Thank you dear Allsorts girls for the months together with you,
see you all around!

Big hugs to you all and enjoy your weekend :)

Have a nice day

Teddy Bo and Bea for my mother in law

2011-11-22T08:00:00.017+01:00

I have the sweetest mother in law and my husband asked (belive it or not) if I could make a card from him and his sister just to tell her how special she is. My husband is not the sentimental, romantic guy so I was kind of shocked by the question :) He is (obvious!) a sweet man so ofcourse I had to make a card for him. It's not often he ask!

This is my card:

One layer card at Allsorts

2011-11-19T08:00:00.002+01:00

This week we have a new challenge at Allsorts and we are having

One layer card!

Some of you think that it is easy peasy, and I think it was soooo hard!

This is my first try and I can see that I need more practice...

Not my kind of card, but if you head over to the Allsorts blog you can check the talented ladies in the DT's work, and they ROCK!

Not much to say about my card today.

I have used an embossing folder from TH and distressed the snowflakes. I added some bling in the center and some brown seam bindings and a snowflakecharm. The christmas text is from a rub on sheet from MF.

Corner rounder from MS.

If it wasn't for the thinking this card would have taken 15 minutes, BUT because I didn't know what to do...It took me two days...

Wishing you a fantastic weekend!

Hugs

I have made a birthday card with the lovely colours of black, white and pink

coloured with my Copics: W5-3-1-0 added glitter here and there on the image.

Papers from Teresa Collins called Bella girl, the dotty one is from a die cut sheet.

Inside with the same papers, dublesided so this is the other side too.

Flowers from WOC and Kort og Godt

Swirl from Magnolia

The little metalflower is from Creative treasures and they have the most fantastic stuff!

Hi friends and happy Fairytale friday!

I am just as excited as you are to read what we have been up to this week in the Teddy Bo tower.

You can read it in the Teddy Bo challengeblog here

Todays card is made for the man in my life.

Gayle made me this image for the fathersdaycard to André,

and I just love it!

Some of you might know that he injured his knees during a 540km cyclerace in june called Trondheim-Oslo

He is now better but still not fully recovered.

This card is made as a fatherday card since we are celebrating fathersday this sunday in Norway.

I made a tentcard for a change.

Here they are :)

André is the one on the left ;)

Simple back with some writingspace for the kids.

Image is TEDDYBO_152, coloured with Copics to compliment the other (and real) cyclist..

Papers from Prima, Alla Prima collection

Flowers, a mix from WOC, Prima and Kort og Godt

Ribbons from stash

Found this poem on the net and thought it was just perfect!

You still have some time to enter the current challenge that is pastels.

Wish you all a fantastic weekend and to all the norwegian fathers, Congratulation!

-A special hug to my own father and my darling-

You are the best

Good evening my lovely friends!

Today starts a new challenge over at Tickled Pink Stamps and team A is in charge for that.

I am not in team A, but I wanted to play too!

They have chosen the theme of

VINTAGE

I have made a card for my darlings therapist.

My husband injured his knees in june during a big cyclerace called Trondheim-Oslo. He cycled 540 km in 18 hours and after that he couldn't cycle (or walk proper...) and ever since that he has gone to this woman. He is not fixed yet, but really much better! He has slowly started cycling again, and I think that is very good for him,- keeping him from going insane.. LOL

Ok enough of the babbling...

Here is the card, maybe not a vintage image, but she was perfect for the lady...

The image is Pink Ribbon Lilith from Tickled Pink Stamps

Coloured with copics, added glossy to the gloves, ribbon on chest and eyes

Simple inside

Back of the card, to compliment the front.

Last sheets of my paper gift from Laurie, MME, Lost and found collection

pearlswirl from the same sweet lady and also from MME

Flowers from WOC, Magnolia swirl.

All my papers are distressed with scissor and inked with DI.

Head over to the TPS challengeblog to join the fun

Hugs, and a last picture of the fantastic image...
