A Wedding in Sherwood Forest/Ett bröllop i Sherwoodskogen



I'm really enjoying mini banners! I had to make another banner, immediately!
When I was in Carcassonne in France, some years ago, I found a very wonderful wall hanging. I wanted to make a little banner that reflects that Medieval style. This is what I came up with.
The tree on the big flag didn't give me any other option - I just had to let it hang from the trees in Sherwood Forest!

A bit of Robin Hood, a bit of Narnia and a bit of Tolkien...
I wonder who'll get this card!?!! ;)

Stuff used:
PTI stamps: Leaf prints, Love and Marriage
Inks: A-muse Navy, A-muse Fern, Memento Summer Sky, Memento Bamboo leaves,Versa Color Pinecone.
Other: Paper roses from My Moments - Coral, brown dotty ribbon, Baker's twine, white plain lightweight cardstock, light blue textured cardstock, Prima lace, copic pen (-for the leaves of the tree on the banner!)

My card.



YEP, Betsy you're the best!
I am going to make some cards this year, inspired by the DT-people I admire the most. Hopefully it will make me learn a lot! My new year's resolution was to try lots of new techiques this year - and this is the first time I make banners on cards, with twine and all!

Betsy Weldman (from Papertrey Ink's Design Team) is fantastic!  This is her card I used as inspiration:

Cough against art!/Hosta mot konst!

HI, everyone!

I know that many of you have been checking regularily if I've made anyting new. (It feels strange that you actually take time to check my blog out! Thank you!)
I've not been totally healthy, these past few weeks. It's not anything serious, though. We seem to have something called the "6-week-cough" at work, and of course I got it! It makes me a bit tired and uninspired! I also have much to do at work since I work a little bit more then full time...
I hope I'll be back soon with something to show! The good thing with not making anything, is that the brain starts to get new ideas for cards, altered art and other projects...

Take care everyone, and please dodge the "6-week-cough"!

2011 Top Ten Favorites/2011 Topp Tio

SO many people are sharing their 2011 Top Ten Favorites. I really like this idea! It made me realize how much I've learned this year.
I've only been papercrafting for 1.5 year, and there is so much stuff still left to learn...

This year I think I will try to experiment with new techniques. I still have a bit of unhealthy respect for my heat tool - since the first one I bought caught on fire! This one works completely fine, but we still need to become friends...
Happy New Year to everyone!

DET är så många som gör en "2011 tio-i-topp-lista" över årets scrapkonstruktioner. Jag gillar den idén.  När jag höll på som bäst med min lista slog det mig hur mycket jag lärt mig detta år. 
Jag har bara hållt på i 1,5 år med scrapping och det finns fortfarande så mycket att lära sig... 

År 2012 ska jag försöka att experimentera med nya tekniker. Jag har fortfarande en lite ohälsosam respekt för min värmepistol - eftersom den första som jag köpte började brinna! Den som jag har nu fungerar jättebra, men vi måste bli ordentliga vänner...

Gott Nytt år till er alla!

Home Sweet Home with tons of PTI

Happy Haunting!



Ride Fast to get the Snacks!



Spooky spooky - there is a guy with fangs outside the window!



Photo Safe.



This is exactly why I started riding Western!



So much fun to put together! I love flowers - and silly snowmen!



I'm so happy how well this one came together. It ended up becoming a New Year's card to a friend...
