Christmas box

Yepp yepp, it's loads of snow here anyway so why not... :)

Over at Susie and Vikki's Christmas club the theme is gift or present so I made a gift box - thank you Lotta for the lovely image!

I think boxes are really hard to take good photos of so you'll have to make do with this.

Morning and Happy Mother's Day to all you lovely English ladies. Here in Sweden Mother's Day is on May 30 so I will have to wait for my congratulations :)

Yesterday I finished a card (yes a whole day of crafting and I have one card to show you, I know I talk to much on these events hehe) .

Image from Karen's doodles painted with vintage photo and tumbled glass, paper from the Luxury stack (the blue one), flowers from Wild Orchid crafts and sentiment from Skogstokiga.


Challenges:

Secret Crafter - anything goes

Karen's doodles UK - anything goes

Allsorts challenge 43

Evening!

I've been to the grand opening of Nettans in her brand new house - a day filled with crafting, laughter, coffee and stamps :)

But it is time now to put up my DT work for this week's challenge at Allsorts. Lisa has chosen a colour challenge of Pink, Black and White. There's a scrummy prize this week so hop on over and check it out!


I've used silver embossing on the image from Motivet, DP is from Quick Quote Paper and the pink paper is the inside of one of Amanda's books (oops mummy just borrowed) since these strong colours aren't normally my style.

Other challenges:

Flutter by Wednesday - open challenge, just include butterfly, angel or fairy

Cupcake craft - flower power

Charizma cards - butterflies - no, she's not a fairy, she's a butterfly girl ;)

Spoon full of sugar - recycling (or in this case destruction of a book cover)

Karen's doodles

At Karen's Doodles Scandinavia the first ever challenge is a coloured one - pink, baby blue and lime green.

Totally out of my comfort zone but I managed a bookmark that Amanda loved - cause the colours are very much in HER zone :)


Papers are Blossoms & Butterflies - the first paper pack I ever bought. A bit of a mark over how my style has changed :)

Now I think I must go downstairs and soak some papers and tags and stuff in hot coffee cause that gives a cheap and easy vintage look, just to get me on track again :)

On my desk today

Slight mess, nothing I can't handle today :)

I just finished an image but I can't decide what to use it for...

My new thread :)

I won this fantastic thread at ScrappTorget, it's slightly thicker than ordinary sewing thread so it's very visible on cards - I love it!

Of course I had to make a card just to use it :) For the dress and bow I used distress ink Tumbled Glass, worked nicely with the DCWV backing paper. The lace circle is a stamp from Skogstokiga.


I'm tossing it in to the following challenge:

Simon says challenge - mother's day/girly

Hot chocolate

First Christmas item ready -yey!

At Susie & Vikki's Christmas Club the challenge is hot chocolate so I made this very wintery gift box to fit the theme. The prize this week is awesome btw!!
