Allsorts - Metal or Charms

Hello,
my turn to host the challenge over at Allsorts and I want you to use charms or actual metal on your creations.
I made a tag, using an embossing folder on aluminium tape, blackening it with black acrylic paint. Then some cog wheel dies, smudged with gold wax and some metal wire that I tied around the tag. Taking pictures of shiny things really is a drag...

We are sponsored this week by Tattered Lace, they are giving not one but two lucky winners a die each so dig out your metal bits and get crafting.

Allsorts - anything goes

Hi,
this week the challenge at Allsorts is Anything goes. Nice to have those "let's do whatever"-kinda weeks :)
I made a card with a new text die, once again a die with a stitched edge (I know, I have a tendency to almost wear new things out when I get them) and a gorgeous baby hands stamp I got for my birthday.

Allsorts - Hearts and/or Flowers

Hi,
this week the challenge at Allsorts is Hearts and/or Flowers. Shouldn't be too much of a struggle I suppose :)
At least it wasn't for me, I made some gift boxes in blue and gold, a favourite layout that works for all sorts of occasions.

Allsorts - paper piecing

Hi,
this week the challenge at Allsorts is Paper piecing. I made a gift tag using a Lili of the Valley stamp and the colour scheme pink and brown. I just adore my new dies with the stitched edge and I have ordered some more in other shapes :)

Now I'm off to a chorus weekend, two whole days singing and dancing with my wonderful chorus friends in Snowflake singers.

Allsorts - Let's celebrate

Time for a new challenge at Allsorts and since it is our 400th Challenge  the theme this week is Let's celebrate. I made a gift tag using a new text die and the daisy die that is such a favourite.

We have extrasuperspecial prizes this week so hurry over and join the fun! Sponsor is:

Allsorts - daisies, daisies

Time for a new challenge at Allsorts, this week the theme is daisies, daisies. I recently got hold of Sizzix bigz die Daisies, not entirely easy cause I found it on Amazon and that company didn't ship to Sweden. Luckily we had some friends that live outside London and they visited us for New Year's so they bought it and brought it with them.

I made a card for a christening and I'm so happy I finally got hold of the die cause the flowers turned out just the way I wanted them.

Allsorts - wings on things

Time for a new challenge at Allsorts, this week the theme is Wings on things, so add something fluttering :).
I made a gable box and used a butterfly die I purchased on E bay before Christmas. The cuts are really delicate and the finish really pleasing.

Allsorts - Cats and dogs

Hi all,
time for a new challenge at Allsorts, we want your creation to feature cats or dogs.

I made a card with a lion from Kenny K, very suiting as a Christmas card for our chorus director, whose last name is Lejon - the Swedish name for lion :).

We have a lovely prize from Sizzix this week so do join in!
