Days gone by

I saw that Stampin for the Weekend had a new challenge with the above theme. Cool, I thought and decided to enter the layout I finished today. It has that vintage look and even if the image isn't stamped the big flower has lots of swirl stamps on it :)

The picture is actually rather old too, it's from when we shared a cabin with my parents and my sister's family for a weekend in 2002 (yes, it's my mum and dad on the picture) and this particular evening we feasted on fermented herring - the very typical Swedish dish hated by so many for the smell that has a tendency to surround these kinds of events, hehe.

Challenge tea box

Since both Simon says Stamp and Creative inspirations have "anything but a card" as a challenge I made yet another tea box - this one I'm gonna have at work. The colour combo over at Whiff of Joy is brown and pink - does it get any easier than that? ;) Of course I used that!

I distressed my own background paper with tea dye, worn lipstick and vintage photo, gold glimmer mist and a text stamp and I finally got my pine punch - can you tell, can you tell? hehe
The alphabet is Provocraft's Harmony and now my chestnut brown chalk is officially worn out!

My lifeline

Since work starts tomorrow I need to get all my things in order, especially my calendar cause I do not function without it! It's a horrid yellow thing that we all buy at work so there's a bundle of them lying around. Therefor I need to pimp it up slightly :)

wild strawberries

Managed to glue some challenges together today. Used a photo of the little one eating wild strawberries but didn't want to use the obvious red and green colours on the layout. Hmm...

Well, The Pink Elephant has a colour combo of brown, turqoise and neutral, I decided to have a go. The sketch is for the monthly challenge at scrapbooking4you and the little strawberry charm makes it eligible for Stamp something this week. Three strikes :)


The sentiment says: Wild strawberries are the bestest.

Simple cards

Today I just have three very simple and quickly made 10x12 cards that I made to fill up mum's box with, not that I know if she used any yet, but I wanted to use the tick box stamp :)

But it's a bit cloudy and windy today so I might go for a challenge or two today, so... I might see you later. Work starts tomorrow so I better make the best of today!

Tea box

I thought there would be no crafting today cause we have had a clearblue sky and 30 degrees with only a light breeze. But being as fair skinned as I am of course I had to burn myself... and besides - my dearest friend came over yesterday and let me borrow her new whiff stamps so I had a very good excuse for excusing myself from the sundeck :).
I made a new cover for the tea bag box by simply covering the existing box with paper and cutting a slit a the bottom to take the bags out. The choice of colours were decided by the fact that I got my ordered coffee-coloured roses in the mail on Friday.

I made top 5

Yepp, it's true! I made the top 5 on the Stampin' for the weekend challenge blog with my altered box and got a blinkie to show for it :). I am very, very proud!
