Challenge @ CiLi in Papers

CiLi in Papers challenge this month is to create a card or a PL card without using any patterned papers. Of course I'm up for this challenge!! :D

This is my PL card and the page it belongs to:

As you can see I picked up some things from the photos - pink and yellow, silver and the grid stamping from the tea-strainer, and of course some hearts. Did you notice the little heart in my tea...? I just love making my own cards for PL - it gives me the opportunity to get the colours exactly the way I want them, or I can have the text I want. :)

Anyway, wish me luck in the challenge! :D Thanks CiLi in Papers for the inspiration!

Take care!

Challenge @ ELB

En liten butik is hosting a challenge this month - a challenge where you are supposed to make something in the name of LOVE. You are required to use red and/or pink, but you can use other colours too. I've made a card:

I've started to look for more challenges now and find it sooo much fun to create this way! This makes me do things I might not normally do. :)

Take care!

Challenge @ Design in Papers

I spent some time crafting with my daughter tonight and I made a card for a challenge on Design in Papers blog. The challenge was to follow a sketch and create something - here is the sketch and my card:

The card became more clean and simple than I expected - but I like it anyway. I used Prima's colour bloom sprays to make the paint running down the card. :) Don't you just loooove colour and paint?! :D

A Steampunk Challenge from Tesa

This week we have challenged each other - all the girls on the Hobbyworld team had one challenge each. A challenge to create in a way we're not used to, or we think is difficult. Therese / Tesa challenged me to create something in a steampunk style. Oh. My. God. It was difficult - but I made it! :D Here's the result - a London layout:

Check out the blog for list of supplies - AND for the other team members challenge creations. :)

Card tutorial @ Hobbyworld

This week I've made a tutorial on how to make cards in different shapes using dies. It's very easy if you have a die cutting machine at home, and a few dies to use. For the full tutorial, please visit the Hobbyworld blog today.

The cards I've made for this tutorial look like this:

Stay tuned - I have the result of a difficult challenge to show you later on today as well... ;)

Take care!

White challenge @ Scrappa Loss

Another challenge creation - this time for the February challenge at Scrappa Loss. The challenge was to create something WHITE - a challenge perfect for me! I love monochromatic challenges. Here is my layout:

Can't wait to "enjoy life" a bit more on Gotland - we will probably return this summer. :)

Favourite city

I have a few favourite places and London is one of them - a city which has a lot to offer and is unbelieveably fun to visit and to stroll around in. The last time I visited was the summer of 2013 and I had an afternoon all to myself and I just walked and walked. I passed two Starbucks (a girl needs refreshments), Buckingham Palace, Houses of Parliament, Big Ben, and London Eye. The weather was lovely and I took many pictures to bring home - one of them is glued to today's layout.

Please visit Hobbywotld's blog for more information about supplies.

Take care!

A Gift Kit for Pyssloteket

Today it's my turn to inspire from Pyssloteket's blog. The creation of the day is a gift kit with a bag of tea, some chocolate, and (not in the picture) a nice tea mug. I brought this gift when I was invited to join a small at home crop late last autumn.

Take care!

Challenge @ Hobbyworld

Today it's the 1st of February and what is more suiteable then telling you what this month challenge is all about here at Hobbyworld? This month we want you to create a card to a loved one or to a friend, the card can NOT contain the ordinary colors red and pink.

The challenge takes part between February 1-21 and your project should be made for this challenge. Take part by uploading your project with the InLinkz button at the bottom of this blogpost. Link directly to your blog post and not to your entire blog.

You can't combine the project with another challenge and you have to link to our challenge in your blog post as well.

We will choose two winners who will get 4 MSC Craft Paints (from the categories MSC Paint High Gloss / MSC Paint Satin/Matt / MSC Paint Metallic / MSC Paint Pearl / MSC Paint Glitter).

One winner will be chosen by the team and one winner will be chosen based on creativity.

  

The winners will be revealed in our blog at 28th of February or by e-mail if we have an e-mail or in the linked blog-post.

My creation for this challenge - to inspire you - is this card in grey and yellow!(what else...?) ;)

Take care!
