Amateur career

As a junior, Skarpnord was considered one of the biggest talents in Norwegian golf. In 2003, she won the Girls Amateur Championship, defeating Beatriz Recari of Spain in the final match. She also won the Junior Solheim Cup with Europe the same year. Skarpnord made a 6 footer to secure the win for the European team. In 2004, she finished 3rd in the British Girls Championship. She finished 12th in the qualifying school for the Ladies European Tour and got her tour card for the 2005 season.

In 2008, Skarpnord played 21 tournaments on the Ladies European Tour. She made 18 cuts, and her best finish was a 2nd place in the Ladies Irish Open.

On the Ladies African Tour order of merit she finished 5th total, and on the Ladies European Tour she finished 16th on the moneylist.

2009 was the year Skarpnord got her first win on the Ladies European Tour, defeating Melissa Reid of England by 1 stroke in the Deutsche Bank Ladies Swiss Open. Her second win came in the Carta Sì Ladies Italian Open, defeating Laura Davies in playoff.
