ME

Dette er meg: Ekte Oslojente, oppvokst i landlige omgivelser på Abildsø på en tid da Smurfene (på svensk) var det mest spennende på tv-skjermen. Har alltid likt å jobbe med hendene på et eller annet vis og har en sterk mistanke om at genene et par generasjoner bakover er ansvarlig. Jeg dultet borti scrappeverdenen for noen år tilbake da en venninne tipset meg om denne fantastiske hobbyen, og jeg ble hektet. Denne bloggen handler for det meste om mine krumspring på scrappefronten, fint om du legger igjen spor etter deg, så kan jeg besøke din blogg også. Jeg kan nås på følgende mailadresse hvis det er noe du lurer på: elin.venge[at]gmail.com.

This is me: I grew up in a rural part of Oslo at a time when the Smurfs (in Swedish) was the most exciting thing on television. I’ve always enjoyed crafting and strongly suspect my grandmothers of handing down that particular gene. I stumbled upon scrapbooking and card making a few  years ago when a friend told me about this wonderful hobby. It was done; I was hooked. This blog is mainly about my endeavors with paper and glue, it’d be nice if you leave a trace of your visit, that way I can expand my blog horizon by visiting yours. If you have any questions I can be reached by email: elin.venge[at]gmail.com.

  1. er det mulig å få oppskrift på den julekurven? jeg kunne tenkt meg å prøve å lage denne.
    Snakker om den kurven du har laget som julekurv i Ett Trykk og her på bloggen din finner jeg den i blått under honorable mentions.

    • Nå lurer jeg på hva det er du egentlig mener, for det ringer ingen bjelle når du sier brettekort med nissefar. Nå har jeg til og med bladd meg gjennom hele bloggen helt tilbake til begynnelsen i mars 2011, og jeg har ingen brettekort med nisse på.

    • Jeg har lenge hatt planer om å lage en ordentlig tutorial på disse kurvene mine, men jeg har ikke kommet så langt at jeg har fått nok tid til å lage en ennå.

  2. Hello-
    My mother’ s folks were from Hardanger, Norway. Im not certain if that is a city or a general name for a fjord..they came over about 1840.

    My mother (1919-2000) could speak Norwegian fluently – sorry to say that I can’t. (Although I learned some naughty words from an uncle!)

    I’ve been lurking on your site and found you through Mo.

    Love, love your work. I’m still learning but my old blog can be found at:

  3. I love your cards and now that I have found you I will be following your blog. Thanks for all your inspiration and keep crafting!

  4. I just found your blog. I was excited to see some Norwegian language stamps. How can I connect with these companies? I am having difficulty locating them on-line.

    Mange Takk!

    • Hi Diana.
      So happy you found my blog. The company whose stamps I love the most (and by far use the most – Norsk Stempelblad AS) is no longer in business, unfortunately. I also use a few Papirdesign stamps and dies (papirdesign.no). They only sell wholesale from their site, but there are Norwegian paper craft stores that carry their line. I don’t know if they ship internationally, but it doesn’t hurt to email them to enquire? Bikuben.com is the largest store in Norway, you might have luck there. Hobbykunst.no is another one, they have their own line of stamps (Mathia design), you might want to check there, as well. Hope this helps 🙂
