Christmas chocolate

Evening ladies,
having a weekend stretched out ahead feels nice!

I have a box today (!) that I'm entering in Simon says Stamp (charm), Sukkersött (gift bag), Creative Card Crew (Christmas), Stamp Something (glitzy something) and Stampin for the Weekend (DT call).

Nothing much to show you today, just a simple Christmas card - I'm nearly finished with them all now =)

DCD 24

Time for a new challenge over at Die Cut Dreams. This week it's Hot Chocolate - great colour, great nutrition :)

Do join this week!

I'm also linking it to Whiff of Joy's challenge since it's to make a Christmas card.

ABC challenge

I started this card yesterday before hubby came and picked me up from the scrap gathering. Finished it today and thought I might enter it in ABC:s challenge I is for indigo. I really don't have a clue if it's indigo, but it's blue... And in Bizzy Becs Creatalicious challenge because of the snowflake and sparkles. And of course I'm entering in Whiff of Joy's challenge because of the choice of stamp. This week the challenge is to make a Christmas card.

Scrappin Saturday

Today I've been to a gathering for enthusiastic scrappers, hosted by Scrapbooking4you. It was a day of fun and laughter, great food and entertainment. I had a blast but didn't create much - of course =). I did manage the card below though and I thought I'd enter it in CCC:s challenge favourite things since the punch and the ribbon and sparkles and Christmas are my favourite things, and in Simon says' challenge for Winter love since love is red in my world =).

I won, I won :)

fantastic cards!

advent calendar

I've made an Advent calendar for my girls and today I've managed to find a few challenges to enter it into. First is Secret Crafter Saturday challenge -calendar, goes without saying, then it's Simon says Stamp - animals so my bear works. Creatalicious has something for Christmas and it surely is, ABC challenge has H for Hidden and the chocolate is very hidden :) , the colour combo at Our Creative Corner and finally it's Creative Card Crew that has strings attached and since all handles on the drawers are made of ribbon...

It was really fun to do but the folding of all the boxes took a while.








There are loads of tutorials for this on the net, I wanted a small one though cause many of them have rather large drawers. So I used:

Box 6 x 12,5 cm
Score at 1,5 cm, 5,5 cm, 7 cm and 11 cm

Drawer 6,6 x 8,6 cm
Score at 1,4 cm from all four sides.

Glue the boxes together three by three and then place them in a square.
Make a top and bottom from cardboard, measuring 12 x 12 cm.

I made a very pretty picture to show more clearly but I can't really figure out how to attach a pdf document in Blogger =(

Christmas lights

Christmas is just around the corner now and I've started looking over some of our decorations. I wanted some new lights so I bought this five-branched candlestick. It was dirt cheap (and so it should be cause it's not the prettiest and most exciting one around) :)



But after painting it, stamping it, distressing it and decorating it with flowers, ribbons, sparkles and a tiny Whiff of Joy charm it's ready for my living room. :)

It's also ready for the challenge over at Whiff of Joy with the colour combo brown, orange and ivory and it suits the Creatalicious challenge with something for Christmas.

DCD challenge

Guten Tag!

I'm back from Neumarkt where I had a fabulous time. Lots of bratwurst and lots of beer and fantastic company :)

This week's challenge over at Die Cut Dreams is Santa Claus and my contribution is a box of chocolates - what else ;). The image I got from a friend at work and it was perfect for this.

Do hop on over to DCD and join!
