Allsorts - new beginnings

This week at Allsorts Tracy wants us to use the theme New beginnings. I made a card for someone moving to a new home, using the supercute image from Lili of the Valley. 

Sponsor is Digistamp Boutique and we also have an extra prize in form of a stamp set called Wedding day.

Allsorts - black and white only

Just came home from Catania, Sicily yesterday. Been there a week with my Erasmus project partners at school. Weather was less fun than expected (last week they had very warm, the next week they will again, but this week was cloudy, rainy and cold - of course...) Oh well, we got lots of work done, saw lovely sights and views and had a wonderful time together.

This week at Allsorts Wendy wants us to use black and white only on our creations, you can still use images cause skin colours are ok, but apart from that it's black and white only.
I made a tag using a new text stamp set I got from e-bay recently. It took a couple of stampings to make the word YOU really black. So glad I made my own stamping buddy. The big butterfly is actually a placement card meant to be put on a glass, I bought a whole pack cause I liked the lasercut wing.

Allsorts - bring on the bling

This week at Allsorts Tracy wants us to bring on the bling in our creations. I made a gift set with a bag and a box, same glittery silver paper on both but the photo filter on the bag makes it look softer :)
Handmade foamiran flowers and a feather for the bag and a die cut and a silver snowflake for the box. The glitter paper are decoration in itself.

Allsorts - fairy tales or nursery rhymes

This week at Allsorts Ellie wants us to be inspired by fairy tales or nursery rhymes in our creations. I used part of the nursery rhyme Rock a bye baby together with an image from LotV to create a gift tag for a baby girl.

 One lucky winner this week will get two adorable fairytale stamps from our sponsor Bee Crafty.

Allsorts - Ladies only

The theme at Allsorts this week is Ladies only and we don't mean that only ladies can join but that we want the creations to be feminine.

I made a tag and distressed it so that it wouldn't be so girly, but more aged, like for a grown woman. Not that I'm saying that when girls grow up they look rough around the edges :) I've just turned 50 myself so I know that is not true :)

Birthday card

Showing off the birthday card I did for the director of our chorus Snowflake singers. Scraphuset has a challenge themed spring and I figured the soft handmade foamiran flowers - yes I burned my fingers on the iron more than once... - would suit perfectly.
