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!

Cute Tilda is colored with Distress Markers. I've used Tattered rose and Vintage photo for her skin and Worn lipstick and Aged mahogany for her cheeks. For her hair I've used Antique linen, Vintage Photo and Walnut stain. The dress, along with the shoes and the braids, are colored in Milled lavender and Dusty concord. For the background I've used Weathered wood and for the soil I've used Vintage photo.
