Side step card

2012-02-24T13:49:00.000+01:00

Hello there!
A couple of days ago I made this side step card when I was working for Pysseldags.
It was a really funy card to make I must say and I actually like it a lot!
My thought is also that in the middle row I will put the name on the birthday girl and on the row back I will put the number of birth. But since I din´t know who will get it yet this 2 rows are empy.
I did fint the tutorial for the card HERE!

I just LOVE this PION DESIGN papers!!

I´m joining this challanges with this card:
Scrappekammeret - baby
Vintage utfodring - 3D
Papiravisen - Punchar

Wedding

2012-02-14T09:09:00.000+01:00

Hello there!
Today I show a card at PYSSELDAGS that I made.
ALL the textstamps are coming from her store!
It´s a " welcome to our wedding" card.
And thats also the text on the outside of the card.
Inside it is a little bit emty but as I thought you can write the name of the couple who should get married and on the doors you can write when, were and so on to the person that you invite to the wedding.And since I should not get married ( well if I don´t merry my self then...giggle...) my card is a little bit emty insida at this time, but this is to show you what you CAN do.
Inside I colour a picture of a magnolia weddingcouple BUT here you can put a picture of the two people that will get married.

On the backside of the card it is a recipe for LOVE of course!
Hope you liked it!

Problem!

2012-02-10T08:39:00.000+01:00

This is in swedish..

Jag har problem med att lämna kommentarer i bloggar.
Jag har märkt nu att det är i bloggar där jag måste välja profil, account som jag inte kan kommentera i och jag har ingen som helst aning om varför!?
Bloggar där jag inte behöver välja sådant går det tydligen alldeles utmärkt i...
Väntar på att min bror ska komma och kika på mina problem men jag vet inte riktigt när det blir, MYCKET irriterande är det i alla fall!
Så ni som har där man måste välja, jag lovar att jag inte bara struntat i er det går helt enkelt inte att skriva i där för mig just nu mina kommentarer bara försvinner. Jätte trist...
Kram Malin

Sad and happy happenings....

2012-01-20T10:43:00.000+01:00

There has been a sad and tuff week here.
On wednesday morning 10:30 a friend at work passed away.
He had a knee operation before christmas that got terrible complications and on wednesday after a big brain bleeding he passed away.
It was unreal!
My brother was together with his daughter 2 years ago, and I work with him sometimes and he always got to work with this big smile and his backpack om his shoulder.
He only got 49 years old and it is so sad!

BUT the day after this I got this email and was asked to join a Dt team for Pysseldags and it really really lighten up my day! It has been so many sad things here lately so this was a really nice thing to be asked for and of course I sad yes.

Sorry to get so personal, I usually don´t get to personal on this blogg but I just wanted to tell you both the sad thing and the good thing.
I needed that , the good thing I mean and I really looking forward to join the team!

Please visit PYSSELDAGS BLOGG.

Take care of each other and tell all your loved ones that you love them!
Hugs Malin

My daughter.

2012-01-15T22:56:00.000+01:00

This weekend, I and a friend took all saturday and just scrap together.My 13 year old daughter and her cousin who also is 13 joined us.
And they also sat all day from 12 to 24 and just scrap together.I didn´t get verry much done since I helped both my friend and the kids but we had a lot of fun!And I did make 2 cards for my self. ;o)

Today my daughter couldn´t stop so she has, almost all day, been sitting in the livingroom and making a card.

I told the kids to look in the Magnolia magasin to get inspiration, find something they like and try to make one themselves. And this is what my daughter made:
Saturday:
She was inspired by this card in the magnolia magasin

and SHE did this card:

The only thing I helped her with was cutting the paper and put on the girls.
The other card she made today she was inspired by this card:

And this is HER card:

Today I only helped her put on the white border on the paper.She sat with this card all day long today, painting this little magnolia girls and so on.She really enjoyed it and I just think it is fun that she likes it.
She is only 13 so I think that looking in this magasines is a verry good thing to do when they want to make a card, they get inspiration and do cards after the magasins.After a while I think they can get there own ideas for their cards, don´t you think?

In the begining they asked me all the time, mom how should I do and what did I think and so on, so I simply took this magasins and told them, find a card in the magasin that YOU like and make a similar one. And they did. =o)

Just wanted to show you my daughters work this weekend when the kids joined us for hours in this lovely scrapbooking hobby!

Long time no see, or how do you say?
It has been a long time since I wrote here.
My grandfather died 9th october and I really haven´t feelt like do some scrapbooking, crochetteing or anything.Some I had to do because of my job with Kristinas but it really has been hard when my heart hasn´t been there.

This week we had the funural for grandpa, I was really close to him and my grandmother so I have spend a lot of time with my grandma this last 2½ week that has passed by so everything at home has come second place since I spend so much time at her place.I don´t want her to be alone and I want to be there for her as they have always been there for me.
So, thats why I haven´t been here.

BUT today I will show you a card I made to my grandma, her sisters birthday is in december so she wanted to send her a card and this is it:

Her sisters name is Anny and she turnes 80 years old.

Here is also some other stuff I have made and I made it with stuff from Kristinas scrapbooking so please make her a visit and look in the blog for Kristinas to!

Have a nice sunday!

Another christmas card

2011-10-09T18:41:00.002+02:00

As usual I try to use as much dt material as I can when I make cards.This time I worked with the colour milled lavender, not the easyest (spells? ) colour for me to work with.I love all this card I see on the internet made in soft colours but when I try to make it myself it just doesn´t look as good as everybodyelses...giggle. But I did my best and in the end I´m rather saticfied with it anyway.
I did my best and I just have to practise on this. ;o)

OF COURSE you can se the card in Kristinas scrapbooking blog to and read about what I have been using for the card.
I wish I was a millonare så I could bought myself a lot more stuff as dies and so on for this cardmaking...giggle..I think I have to play on the LOTTO.
Everytime I make cards I feel like I needed this and that and so on...giggle....Recognize this???
Well tomorrow it´s time for work again.

And Im joining WOC with this card.

The text on the bookmark is: MY BOOK, here am I!

Happy Birthday To Me!

2011-04-27T12:17:00.003+02:00

Wiiii, today it´s my birthday...no not mine personally BUT it´s my blog birthday today!
Exactly 3 years ago I made my first blogpost here on the blog.I wasn´t verry activ the firts 2 years, think I made just as many posts as I have done for this year allready...giggle...

Even if I have been scrapbooking all this time I didn´t get mutch time for it before, it´s more lately I really feel that I can take time for it now and really do what I love on my spare time. I also think that after the separation from the kids father I finally have got my routines in my home with my kids when they are here and so on.The kids also got bigger, they mostly want to be with friends nowdays and all of this is making me more time of my own.Time that I can spend as I want to, even if the kids are at home it´s easyer now.
And it fells really good because life without crafting would kill me!..giggle..

So HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my 3 years old blog today!!
I just want to say THANK YOU to all of you that has chosen to follow me and like my blog and what I create! You are great!! Big hugs to you all.

So pop over in the weekend and maby I will have a small goodibag for one of you who visit me.

Big hug to all of you!!

Make your own mini roses

2011-04-24T16:36:00.000+02:00

We have Easter Holliday here in Sweden right now. All the kids are home from school and they are with friends all day long.They sleep ower and so on so there is not that mutch time for the mother in the house to just sit down and make some scrapbooking...giggle...

But today I had to work a little bit for Kristinas and when I was finish with that I just thought that I should try to make my own mini roses.Just like the ones I always buy.
I saw on Youtube a video where they did handmade roses that we always buy so I thought I try to do my own...
HERE is the video if you would like to se it.
Sometimes it can be hard to find, or if I don´t have the colour home that I need.Then,I MAKE MY OWN!

I will show you how I made it...

Aren´t they cute?? Just like the one I use to buy, but with a little bit different paper...
I simply used left ower cardstock pieces...

This is what I need, mini retro flower punch, glue and cardstock...
I cut out 4 of the colour I want on the rose and one in grean who should be the leaf....

On one of the pink ones I cut of two of the leafs....

Then I fold the leafs in the middle , as in the picture, and then squeeze them together...

I put some glue on the end of the flower leaf...

..and put it together...I hold it together untill the glue has dryed.

With the next two pink flowers, i fold all the leafs on the flowers in the middle and put some glue in the middle of the flower...

And simply put it together.With all of them as I put them together i sqeeze them together and shape them untill I´m happy with the result....

You can se on the picture how I build the flower...

With the last pink flover i don´t fold the leafs in the middle, I just fold the leafs up a little bit so it wont be so flat.And then put it togehter wirh some glue in the middle...

I do the same with the green flower and then put it together so the green flower will become the grean leaf on the roses.

Tada!!! A finished little minirose. It´s about 1-1,5 cm wide.
Hope you liked it!!
Thanks for stoping by.

Make your own flowers...

2011-04-10T20:19:00.001+02:00

Some days ago when I was making a card I use my spellbinder " Fleur De Lis ", and when I had cut it out and emboss it I got all this smal paperparts from all the little gaps and I thougt that the bigger ones look likes leafs...so I made a flower of it.....
Just click on the pictures to see them larger...

I saved all the bigger parts that looked like leafs....

I cut out a circle about 1 cm diameter...

Took my glue pen and just took some glue in the end of the "leaf" and then put it together around the circle...

When they all where in place I just adjust them so they was close together like in the picture...

...and in the end I just put a pearl on it and tada! Your flower is finish!

Isn´t it cute??

So start saving all the junk from your spellbinder and make flowers of it! ;o)

I made a simple card for a little boy ( my son who is ten think this is a relly cool card and wanted me to do LOTS of them...giggle...) and since I don´t know who is getting the card I have som emty spots on the card where the name, date of birth and so on will be placed on later.
But I am as finish as I can be untill it is sold.
So here it is:

This time I actually have been using som hÄnglar stamps and I just stamp the heads and painted them..
A also almost use different cardstock in nice strong colours and only one pattern paper.
I wanted it to be strong colours since there is a little boy who will have this card and I also used a lot of different dies from Quickutz with different boythings and so on.Thougt that fit a little boy with som fun pictures.
This is a perfect card to be using your left over papers!

I also made a little movie when I flip it around. ;o)

If you would like to make one of this card I also have a good tutorial for you:

Hope you enjoy it!
And thanks for stoping by!

Gett well Tea card!

2011-02-06T16:28:00.006+01:00

Hi there!
Today there will be something else than a christmascard.
For 2 weeks we have been sick here me and my son.
My son also sliped on the wet floor on saturday at the poolhouse and half his front tooth went out end also get verry loose.
So he had to went to the E.R, he is swollen and it hurts a little bit.Today the dentist had to look at the tooth and now we hope that it will heal and then he will need to get the torn tooth fixed. PUH! is all I can say...

My poor little son!!

Well,that was a little bit on the side NOW i thougt I should show you a new card I made today!
This is a little Gett Well Tea Card.

And I also made a little tutorial on it.
I have only used som left over pappers that I had for this one, perfekt for this little card when you have some pappers over from other works!
You can also click on the picture to get them larger.

Cut a cardstock in 15cm x 30,5 cm
Take some small paper pieces and cut them 6cm x 14,5 cm.
The small ones you fold in the middle, as the picture show.
In the middle of the two sides I used my retro flower punch to get this little round peaces that you cut away.
Sorry for my explanation, hard to to it in English ;o)
At least you should get it as in the picture.

I put it together like this on the picture.I GLUE it together otherwise it wont last when the teabags is in the pockets.

A perfect card for four little tea bags to a friend!
I have not decorated this inside but here you can write a little comment to your friend or something if you would like that.
I decorated my card on the outside with some leftover pappers.

The best part is that you can stand this card up so it easy stands on the table or whatever. And because of the fold lines the card stand by it self almost!Perfect I think. ;o)

Why I did this card in this size is because it fits in a regular C6 envelope ( approx.16x11,5cm).
And I also decorated it with flat flowers and so on so it fit the envelope since there also are som tea bags in it.

Uppdate! 2/2-12 :

This is another card I made but I made the tea pocktes a little bit different.You can do it as you want but I liked this one a little bit more I must say. ;o)

Hope you liked it!

A candle box tutorial / Ljusask tutorial

2010-09-13T20:43:00.001+02:00

I made a little candle box and I thought I show you how to do it.A perfect little gift to give away to someone who for example invites you to dinner and you don´t want to come emty handed or a little birthday gift to someone...

Jag har gjort en liten ljusask för värmeljus och jag tänkte visa er hur jag har gjort den.En superbra liten present att ge bort om man tex är bortbjuden och inte vill komma tomhänt, eller som en liten enkel present till någon som fyller år...I denna asken får det plats 9 st värmeljus.

Start by cutting your paper 18 x 29,5 cm.
Then you draw the fold lines like this:
Horizontal you make the lines at 12, 14, 26, 28, 29,5 cm
Vertical you make the lines at 1, 3, 15, 17 cm.

Börja med att skära till ditt papper 18 x 29,5 cm.
Du gör linjerna för vikningen på detta sättet:
Vågrätt drar du linjerna på 12, 14, 26, 28 och 29,5 cm.
Lodrätt drar du linjerna på 1, 3, 15 och 17 cm.

Then you cut you paper like on the picture above.

Sedan klipper du till ditt papper som på bilden ovan.

Then I use my shape cutter to cut a circle in the middle on the frontside, this is like a window.

Sen använde jag min shape cutter och skar ut en cirkel i mitten på framsidan, detta är som ett fönster där man kan se ljusen.

Then I took this Lamination machine and made a sheet that I cut out a bit of and placed on the backside of the window I had cut out on the candle box.

Sen tog jag min lamineringsmaskin och körde igenom ett ark där så jag fick ett genomskinligt lite hårdare ark som jag sen klippte ut en lagom bit ur och satte fast på baksidan av fönstret jag skar ut innan.

Then I put some adhesive on ( look at the picture ) and put the box together.

Sen satte jag dubbelhäftande tejp på flärparna, se bilden i mitten, och sedan satte jag ihop boxen.

Then all you have to do is to decorate your box!
I´m sorry for my really bad english but I hope you will understand from all the pictures.If not just send me an email with your questions and I will answer them as good as I can. I hope you will enjoy this and pleace let me see your box if you make any!!

Sen är det bara kvar att dekorera din lilla box!
Skulle vara jättekul om jag får se just DIN ljusask om du gör någon!
Här ser ni min.

Hugs / Kram Malin
