Make two over at Crafty Creations

Good morning!

This is going to be a scheduled post, since I'm at work (working day five out of seven). My last week before school starts. Starting this fall, and three years forward, I'll be studying sociology. Feels great to move forward!

The announce I actually wanted to make was to present the challenge this week over at Crafty Creations. And this week we want to see your interpretation of MAKE TWO. I've interpreted very literally and made TWO pin holders.

If you want to make one yourself check out the tutorial above under "TUTORIALS". They are SO easy and so much fun to make!

Roses - Wild Orchis

Guipure lace - Live & Love Crafts

Pearls - PY Hobby

Pearl string - Live & Love Crafts

Crisp ribbon - Live & love Crafts

Pom pom trim - Live & Love Crafts

These two ended up at my two best friends - one who likes blue and the other one who likes green.

Hope you've found some inspiration!

Use an arrow over at CCC

Good evening!

After a sunny and warm Croatia I'm back again in Sweden. Now I just have to figure out what to do this fall...

Until then I'd like to show you some cards. I seem to be in a Magnolia phase right now. The latest addition to my collection is Tilda with heart spots.

This week at CCC we want you to use an arrow on your project. I've used one from Tim Holtz in a gorgeous vintage brown color. Can't wait to see your projects!

It's... a girl!

Hello!

Lately I've been writing a short paper within environmental law. It sertainly took me some time to finish it up (expecially since I haven't been writing anything school related in this past six years), but this Monday (6th of May) we had to send in our first outline.

This week at CCC the theme is SOMETHING OLD/NEW. You can choose to create something with an entirely new touch (new paper which you use, new technique you've learnt etc) OR you can create something with an old feeling (make it vintage, use something from your stash that has been lying around for some time, a thing that is truly old and put it on your project etc).

OR you can do as I did - use a little bit old and a little bit new.

For this project I made a layout with an old photo (of my dad and I) combined with new things that I haven't used yet (the DP Alma's sewing room from Pion Design and all this cool stuff from LLC such as the black berries and the laces).

Good morning!

This post is going to be a scheduled one because I'm at the University right now, busy studying environmental law. Quite a tricky subject if you ask me. But again, it could just be me...

This week at CCC we have a color combo challenge - pink plus one. I've chosen pink + cream for this challenge.

Challenge #215 easter

Hello!

I've now struggled through a really bad cold. I was totally knocked out for a week and because of that I had to pass last challenge at CCC.

But now I'm back and I'm so thrilled about this week's challenge EASTER at CCC. I've made an Easter Egg, with a romantic touch.

white gesso

guipure lace

pearl lace

lilac ribbon

white organza ribbon

lilac pearls

magnolia die

white feathers

pearl spary

lilac roses

dark lilac roses

magnolia roses/flowers white

magnolia vintage berries white/silver

 rolled roses

chrysanthemums white

lilies

vintage trinket crystal pin

I've painted an easter egg with white gesso. I used a sponge and dotted the paint on the egg. Since I used a transparent egg I needed two layers of gesso paint. And then I added lots and lots of embellishments.

The stuff I used for this project are most from LLC and WOC.Some are from PY Hobby, the Magnolia die is from somewhere else and the white feathers are from a grocery store nearby for just a few cents.

Challenges:
ABC-challenge - J for Just As You Like It (anything goes)
SimonSays - Anything goes
RRR - Flowers and ribbon #68

Happy Easter!
