Greetings to you!

A new year is beginning, and an old one is almost gone! I have had a hard year in 2011, since I lost my father and struggling to get back to life! I face another year without him, but I know that he wants me to embrace life and go on! I have the good memories in my heart, and I will catch each day as it is! Exiting things are going to happen in 2012, and I will enjoy them and enjoy all my friends!

So, to all my friends out there...

I could not have manage this without you,
and I am so lucky to have you in my life
& to call you my friends!

I wish you all the best in 2012,
and I wish that all your dreams come true!

Love you, guys!! And, hope that we will meet up for creative
moments, playing and laughter in the new year!

NewYearHugs from me!

My Day of Fun on StampARTic

Today was My Day of Fun on StampARTic, and I had a difficult time choosing what I wanted to do with my day this year. Not because I didn't have anything to do, but because I had to much projects that I wanted to do :-)

Anyway, my choice fell on a Christmas Zentangle with a Christmas stamp from Inkadinkado as a motive. I love Inkadinkado stamps, and it was an easy choice to make!

Hope you like my Christmas Zentangle, and if you want to see the article on StampARtic you can click here!

Floating on my pink cloud...

Have been playing with Stampotique stamps again, and the stamps are just perfect for my art journal. This page is made for Stampotiques Guest Designer month, and it's a "typical me page". Everybody who knows me, knows that sometimes I just float on my pink cloud :-)

You find the article about this page at Stampotique here!

Lekt meg litt med Art Journaling igjen, og dette er en side som jeg har laget til Stampotique som gjestedesigner. Disse stemplene er bare så innmari kule, og de passer perfekt inn i min AJ-bok. Dette er en typisk meg-side, og som liksom skal illustrere meg og min lille "sveving på rosa sky" :-) De som kjenner meg, vet meget godt hva det betyr - fnis!

Her finner du artikkelen om siden min på Stampotique!

An untraditional Christmas card...

Another assignment from Stampotique! The challenge was to make a Christmas card without the traditional colors of Christmas. I have made the background with Distress Stain and Distress ink, and colored the tree with it as well. Additional to that I have added gold rubons for a more distressed look. For the edges I have used my favorite EK punch :-) This was a really awesome challenge that I loved to make!

Nok et prosjekt til Stampotique! Denne gangen var utfordringen å lage et julekort uten de tradisjonelle julefargene. Jeg har laget bakgrunnen med Distress Stain og Distress blekk, og det er også treet fargelagt med. På kantene har jeg brukt gull rubons for å lage en mer "distresset look", og så har jeg brukt favoritt punchern min fra EK. Denne utfordringen passet meg ypperlig, og det var utrolig gøy å lage noe til dette!

Stampotique & Zentangle in a mix!

As you know, I have been the proud guestdesigner for Stampotique in November, and I challenged my self to use Stampotique stamps and my drawings. Above you see the result, and I had so much fun making this. It's no secret for anyone that I love these stamps, and mixing them together with my latest pation of drawing got me even more inspired to continue mixing these two :-)

Som de fleste vet, så er jeg en meget stolt gjestedesigner for Stampotique i november, og jeg måtte utfordre meg litt ekstra med disse stemplene. Så jeg fant ut at jeg skulle kombinere stemplene med min ny lidenskap Zentangle. Det var utrolig gøy å kombinere stempler og tegning, så dette kommer jeg garantert til å gjøre igjen :-)
