Drengekort

Her er to drenge kort, som er på Love2Scrap's blog i dag. Kortene er lavet med rester fra det netop afholdte Baby-scrap kursus.

Here are two cards for little boys. They went up on Love2Scraps blog today and are made with leftover scraps from a baby scrapbook class I just taught.

Hard Core {Holiday} Crop

Welcome to the 2nd Hard Core Crop! This crop is all about getting you inspired to create for the Holidays. Design Team Member and guest designers will be hosting challenges on their blogs and giving away great prizes!

Please head over to the CORE BLOG for full details and crop rules. And we have a Facebook Hard Core Crop page HERE to chat and hang out with fellow Hard Core Croppers. So make sure you head over there, too. Feel free to invite your friends, too! You never know when challenges or giveaways will pop up over there.

*****

My challenge to you is to create SOMETHING FOR GIFT WRAPPING. 

It could be a giftbox, giftcard holder, tags, giftbag, garlands for wrapping around presents, etc.
The rules are simple: Anything goes, as long as it's something to hold or embellish a gift that includes Core'dinations cardstock!

 

*****

For this challenge I have created a few gift wrapping ideas to get you inspired. First up is a clothspin with a Poinsettia to embellish e.g. a giftbag.

The flower was created using the Tim Holtz Distress Collection. I sanded the cardstock and used matching Distress ink. Both techniques together give such a beautiful dimension to the flower.

Next are some cards to hold your 'flat presents'. I have used the new David Tutera Celebrate Card Making System to create the cards. Check out the David Tutera How-To section of the website for a FREE downloadable PDF of these projects (and more).

First a card for holding a CD/DVD:

And what about a sewn garland to wrap around a gift? This garland was made using the David Tutera Flower Seals and snowflakes punched from Glitter Silk cardstock.

The winner of this challenge will get a David Tutera Celebrate prize package.

(content of prize package may vary but will be equal value of what you see above)

(Challenges must use the link tool below. If you do not have a blog, please feel free to use Photobucket, Flickr or any other photo sharing site that provides links. You must use Core'dinations ColorCore cardstock (which includes David Tutera Celebrate products) to win this challenge. Feel free to use other products, too. You may NOT combine this challenge with any of the other HCC challenges but you may complete this challenge as many times as you like. You must link by 8pm, December 2nd).

Upload your gift wrapping idea using the inlinkz tool below. And don't forget to share on Facebook, too...

I hope you are inspired to create something for GIFT WRAPPING! I can't wait to see what you come up with!

H is for Happy!

Jeg har været så heldig at få to sønner, som elsker deres senge. Med Melvin var det fra første gang han blev lagt i den gamle Juno seng (som jeg selv har ligget i som baby). Her er et billede af ham i hans favorithjørne, hvor han gerne putter sit hoved.

I have been blessed with two boys who absolutely love their beds! Here is a picture of my happy little baby all tugged into his favorite corner of the bed.

 

The amazing Jack Sparrow!

Asbjørn elsker at klæde sig ud, og da han var vokset ud af sit elskede Kaptajn Klo var det perfekt at finde et nyt pirat kostume i Disney butikken i Firenze sidste efterår. Mød den nye Jack Sparrow!

Til dette dobbelt layout (8.5x11"-format) har jeg brugt en blanding af Echo Park's This&That og October Afternoons Sasparilla serier.

Asbjørn loves to dress up and since he grew out of his beloved Captain Hook costume it was time for a new pirate costume. We found one at the Disney store in Florence last fall. Meet the new Jack Sparrow!

Stor nok til højstol

Jeg fik scrappet i sidste uge! Jeg lavede fem layouts imens jeg hyggede med en veninde. Det kan man jo blive helt afhængig af ;-)
I dag er dette layout kommet på Scrapper's blog. Jeg har brugt Echo Park For the Record 2. Det er noget tid siden jeg har bryugt mønstret papir som baggrund, men synes det fungerer fint her, hvor fokus stadig er på billederne. Det er ikke til at fatte, at min lille baby er blevet så stor allerede!

I finally finished some layouts last week (actually five.yeah!) while having a great time with my girlfriend. Could totally get use to that ;-)
This went up on scrapper's blog today. Ive used Echo Park's new For the Record collection. Haven't been using patterned paper as a background for a while, but I like how the busy paper still leaves the focus on the photos. Can you believe my baby boy is such a big boy already?

Hope you have an awesome day... Thanks for stopping by today!

Brandt-Lassen Photo

For et år siden nævnte jeg, at jeg arbejdede på noget spændende. Så fik jeg en besværlig graviditet, en baby og meget mindre tid! Men nu er jeg endelig klar til vise jer min foto blog. Jeg er næsten et år bagud med at opdatere den med billeder, men satser på at indhente det.

Kig forbi min foto blog og læg endelig vejen forbi min Facebook side og 'like' den. Her er et udsnit af den type foto jeg tager og baby-fotos fra mit seneste indlæg.

A year ago I mentioned I was working on something exciting. Then I had a difficult pregnancy, a baby and very little time! Now I am finally ready to promote my photography blog. I am a year behind on updating it with photos but plan to catch up. Here are some newborn pics from my most recent blogpost and a few samples of the type of photos I take.  

Check out my photopraphy blog and please do stop by and like my page on Facebook.

Velkommen sommer

Jeg er godt nok inde i en tør periode med at få lavet layouts! Håber det bliver bedre snart. Jeg skal scrappe med en veninde i morgen, og håber at få nogle sider færdige!Her er et jeg har lavet for nyligt med et tidligt-sommer billede fra sidste år. Det er inspireret af mit yndlings layout lavet af den fantastiske Sophie Crespy.

I am really in a creative drough when it comes to layouts. Hope it gets better soon. Have a crop tomorrow and hope to finish a few pages!I created this recently with an old early-summer photo from last year. It was heavily inspired by my favorite page done by the fabulous Sophie Crespy.

David Tutera Cards

Det er vist på tide at vise nogle af de kort jeg har lavet for Core'dinations med det nye David Tutera Cardmaking System, som desværre kun sælges i Joann-butikkerne i USA. Systemet indeholder tre trin med allerede udskåret/evt. embosset karton og pynt. Det er bare at samle det - og det er hurtigt! Og jeg elsker hurtige projekter :-)

I think it's about time I share a few cards I did with the David Tutera Celebrate Cardmaking System. This system is brilliant with everything already diecut and ready to go. It takes just minutes to do a card, and I'm all into finishing my projects really fast :-)

Dette solstråle kort er på Core'dinations blog og der er how-to's på hjemmesiden for de efterfølgende kort. Det kommer der også snart How-to til solstråle kortet.

The sunburst card is up on the Core'dinations blog and how-to's are available on the webpage for these two following cards: (a how-to for the sunburst card will be there soon).

 

 

 

Og så vil jeg gøre lidt reklame for et Hard Core online crop i slutningen af måneden. Masser af udfordninger i julens tegn og masser af lækre præmier. Jeg deltog i det første af slagsen denne sommer, og blev helt forelsket i de teknikker man kan lave med Core'dinations karton. Det kunne være sjovt hvis I havde lyst at være med denne gang...

 

And save the date for a Hard Core Crop at the end of the month! Lots of challenges and great prizes. I participated this summer and had so much fun. Totally fell in love with sanding my cardstock...

Julekort med mini stempler

I sidste uge lagde jeg et par julekort på Scrapper.dk's blog. I dette indlæg er der også et par andre julekort hvor jeg bruger mini stempler (Kan ikke huske om jeg har vist dem på min egen blog...).

Here are some Christmas cards that went up on the Scrapper.dk blog last week. Plus some other cards that I'm not sure I ever shared on my own blog. All of them were made using tiny Tapestry stamps.

 

Lige nu er huset stille! De store drenge er til svømning og den lille sover. Heldigt! For jeg har lidt travlt med at få materiale færdig til mit kursus på onsdag, hvor jeg for sidste gang mødes med de fantastiske kvinder/babyer, der har deltaget i efterårets baby-scrap-kursus. Det har været helt enormt hyggeligt. Og produktivt med 12 layouts!

Gasbeholderen faldt til jorden

Jeg har aldrig set en bygning blive sprængt til jorden i levende live, så vi tog til Vesterbro og nød byens højeste udsigt til sprængningen af gasbeholderen i Valby. Meget interessant. Her er et slideshow af de billeder jeg tog:

 

I have never seen a building being blown up in real life, so it was interesting to watch this from one of the highest points in Copenhagen:

 

Jeg har endnu ikke set den video vi optog på et andet kamera. Den er nok bedre end mit slideshow, men jeg ville gerne lave en test af hvordan man laver dem! Her på Politiken.dk er et mere professionelt syn af kæmpen som faldt til jorden!
