Spring light

I realized I forgot to show you guys this simple vintage card I
made for my stepmoms birthday. 

I love the image from Pretty Vintage, but if was hard to use and find
the right design for it.
I used paper from Maja Design, a doily, flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts,
lace and jute and ribbon and pearls from Ribbon Girl.

Vintage utfordring - Spring

Totally Gorjuss - Something old

Spring time

Today I finished yet another kleenex cover.

I wanted to make something for easter,

but not a card, and then I decided it could be easter/spring,

so the decoration would last longer.

I always keep a box of kleenex in the living room,

so now I can change it with the seasons. ;)

The paper I have used is from Magnolia.

I distresset the edges with Walnut Stain. The base is made from

Bazzil Kraft. 

Tilda is colored with Distress Reinkers.

I used Antique Linen and Vintage Photo for her hair,

Tattered Rose, Vintage Photo and Victorian Velvet for her skin,

Pumice Stone for the egg shell, Wethered Wood and Black Soot

for shading, and Shabby Shutters, Peeled Paint, Spiced Marmelade and

a yellow that I cant remember the name of. :p

The letters are from Prima.

I used jute mesh, cheese cloth, pompoms  and ribbon from The Ribbon Girl,

and some lace. 

I love the zipper, it is from Ribbon Girl! I used a couple of Prima flowers,

and the rest is from Wild Orchid Crafts. I also have some plastic flowers,

and the swirly branches from Kort og Godt. 

I finally found a project for these adorable little nests.

It just never fitted before, and if felt strange on a card,

because I felt that is was a bit sideways, so I just had to put it on top. 

I made the hole with Spellbinders, and I also used those for framing

the stamp.

Yeah. bad blogger.
I have had so little time, and in the time I have I have been very tired
and not at all feeling creative. I made this card for a girl in my class,
I promised I would make her a book mark for her birthday, 

and I decided to make a matching card.

The papers I used are from Maja Design.
I distressed the edges with Walnut Stain. 

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts,
and the ribbon, lace, berries and cloth is all from The Ribbon Girl. 

I used pearls, a heart doily, a Magnolia sentiment stamp,
and Magnolia die cut.

The ribbon is from WOC, and the tag is Magnolia.
The Charm is from Ribbon Girl.

I got this stamp with a sertificate I won at a challenge, 

makes it extra fun. Love this one. :)
I inked her up with Distress Reinkers,
and used some Star Dust Stickles, and Liquid Pearl. 

The sentiment on this bookmark is from Magnolia.

Thank you to all of you who still wisit me!
Promise, I will be a better blog-friend soon. :)

and my Martha Stewart lace puncher, and butterfly puncher.

is Spellbinders. 

Tilda was colored with Distress Reinkers.

Her hair is colored with Aged Mahogany and Walnut Stain,

and a little Black Soot.

and Aged Mahogany for blush.

For her clothes and the gift I used Victorian Velvet

and Pumice Stone, and Diamond Stickles.

Top 10 of 2012

Yesterday I sat down and looked over my blogging for the year.
At first I figured I had hardly made anything worth while this year,
The last half of the year has been very dry.
But to my surprise I had forgotten most of what I have made,
and I did find me some favourites.
Think I'll go over to just create stuff like this,
and completely blow off everything else scrapvise. :p

So here, in random order, is my top 10 for 2012!

The confirmation gift set I made for my sister

A Wedding card, The sentiment is "And then they lived happily ever after". 

The card for my daughters third birthday. 

Baby Boy

Happy new year!

Today I have a baby card to show you,

I am going to be an aunt, any day in January the baby is comming, 

and I am sooo excited!

They have been trying for a long time,

and now the baby is almost due. :)

The ultra sound said it was going to be a boy,

so I have one card ready. I think I'll put the name of the baby

on it after he is born, they havent told anyone or decided the name yet. 

This card is my take on CLPs new sketch!

I have used some gorgeous papers from Maja Design.
The edges are distressed with Walnut Stain. 

A little peak at the new sketch, I love it!

I love this "charm"/frame, it even has glass on it. 

I have used some pompoms, loopet organza trim,

and regular organza trim tied in a bow.

I also have used pearl string, and pearles-in-a-row.

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, and the white swirlies

are from Kort og Godt.

I used three baby charms. 

This is a piece of a die cut that I clued on some bazzil and cut out.

Like how it lookes.

I used some more pearls, and Star Dust Stickles on the image frame. 

This little baby is of course from Magnolia,

and so is the corner stamps. 

I inked him with Distress Reinkers.

Skin - Tattered rose and Vintage Photo, Aged Mahogany.

Clothes - Faded Jeans and Pumice stone.

Wings - Wethered Wood and Faded Jeans

Shading - Wethered Wood.

Happiness be yours

Today is the 13th of December, Lucia Day.

Me and my fiancee have been together for 9 years today,

so he actually surpriced me with roses and a gift (Gilmore Girls on DVD).

Its not often he does stuff like this, so it was very nice. :)

So today I ditched the school work I really should have been doing,

and made this wall hangable card for my sister.

The images are a bit poor, put it could have been worse I think.

At least the colors are all right. ;)

I used papers from Maja Design,

a heart shaped doily, and I inked the edges of the papers

with Distress Ink, Walnut Stain. 

I colored Tilda with Distress Ink. Her clothes are a mixture

of Victorian Velvet and Walnut Stain.

For skin I use Tattered Rose, Vintage Photo and Aged Mahonagny,

and for the rest I used Pumice Stone and Black Soot.

I shaded with Wethered Wood and Black Soot.

The fur edges on her clothes are lined with Martha Stewart Flocking.

The Wings I got at Panduro. I originally was not planning this,

but I strumpled across them as I was searching for fitting

embellishments, and I just had to use them.

Maybe a bit much, but whatever. ;)

The flowers I used are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

I made some of the flowers smaller by removing a layer of them,

and I put some Snow Wrighter on them.

I love the sparkely snowflake, I dont know if you can tell,

but its made entirely out of rhinestones. It is from Ribbon Girl. 

The Lace and mesh is also from Ribbon Girl. 

I used Martha Stewart Snowflakes that I punched out,

and a Doohickey tag, some twine, pins and seem binding ribbon from WOC, 

and a big heart charm from Ribbon Girl. 

The sentiment is from Magnolia, and I added some little pearls.

I also used Snow Wrighter on the corners in the card,

and I used Chalkboard Glimmer Mist all over. You can rell if you look for it. ;)

Christmas Gifts

Hello all my sweet friends and visitors!
I have again neglected my blog, I have been preoccupied with school,
the stomach flu, school and school.
I have also been making a few Christmas gifts,
theese are what I wanted to show you quickly today.
I have an exam tomorrow, so I have to dive back into my
books right now. Being sick really made me fall behind on my schedule.

These are kleenex-covers that I am giving away for Christmas.
Both are made with Pion papers,
I used peals, Martha Stewart butterfly puncher,
and dies. I also used Star Dust Stickles. Very simple embellishments,
the papers are so lovely in themselfes and I didnt want people to think
they where unhygienic with to much flowers etc. 

I hope you all are having a lovely December. :)
