You won't believe it - I've made yet another box!


For PC-games. PP: Basic Grey/Lucky, Flowers: Prima, brads: YouDo, ribbons: Creative Company.

Out of the comfort zone...

We were challenged at KTCrafts Forum to make an LO without our normal material and with other techniques than we usually do.

Chilly

We can't go indoors just because it's chilly outside... A garden party in September.

CS: Bazzill, PP & Tags: HOTP, Buttons: Creative Company, chipboard alphas: Panduro

New Shoes!

Kelly took dad on a shopping tour to find new shoes - black and pink!

Kelly lost her first tooth today...


... and that's an occasion to scrap about!

Brads and eyelets: MM

Queen of the Crop

We had great fun at KTCrafts Forum this weekend, had an online crop that lasted for 18 hours, and then some more time to finish all the challenges and load them up. We all had fun and enjoyed each others company, while scrapping like maniacs!

A special thanks to KTCrafts Design Team that made this weekend possible! I have enjoyed it so much.

And guess what? I didn't win any of the challenges... But I was crowned Queen of the Crop! Now THAT is an honour! I will wear my crown with pride.

Holm Taxi

While at my brother's summerhouse we often joke about things we otherwise take for granted. Like taking a cab somewhere... In the middle of nowhere there are no cabs, so we use whatever we can find to get anywhere!

PP: 3Bugs Cabana Stripes, American Traditional
Felt circles and arrows, brads, eyelets, fibers, 3D-paint and alpha stickers.

Sunny Girl

We were also challenged to use felt as a decoration - I used Cuttlebug's Scribble Flower to cut out some. I have used Daisy D's patterned paper, rub-ons from Royal & Langnickel, buttons and pearl floss. The chipboard alphas comes undressed from Panduro, I painted them and stamped with a flower stamp. Photocorners from an unknown manufacturer.

Chipboard Challenge








During the Midnight Special we were challenged to make our own chipboard and use it on a project or LO. I made a butterfly in three layers, painted, stamped, stickled and also a Faux Dichro shadow on the middle layer, all covered with 3D-lacquer. I used it on a box (surprised?) for Kelly's all "hair-stuff". She's satisfied with the outcoming!


I have been scrapping all weekend!

They had a crop at KTCrafts Forum this weekend, and I have been scrapping heavily! It was very fun with a lot of challenges, classes, games and chatting, and I have inspiration to continue for a week now.

What I did? Check the following posts!

Beloved kids - my three and a grandchild!

A picture of Kevin in front of the computer - thinking... He likes to play strategy-games.

PP: ClaireFontaine, chipboard, ribbon and belt buckle unknown, brads: Panduro, YouDo

...and then some!



More of the boxes.

And even more of them...





Mainly for games and dvd's/films. I have also kept these quite simple.

... and more boxes!





These are a few of my new boxes for my new scrapping room! I needed to organize my stuff so I made these. As they are to be handled often, I have decorated mainly the fronts.

Boxes, boxes...



I like altering boxes, and found this series at IKEA, called Kassett. They come in various sizes for CD's, DVD's, documents aso. Very useful and inexpensive! They aren't that pretty "naked", but do look nice when dressed up!
I made this for my acrylic paints, using Basic Grey Gypsy paper, ribbons, stickers and flowers.

Carrot with a twist


Challenge: create an LO with at least two different fonts.
This is a carrot I found in my veggie garden this year.
CS: DCWV, PP: Imagination Project, various alpha stickers, Brads: YouDo, MM, organza flowers: Creative Company

... and I'm waiting too!

In just an hour the Harvest Crop starts at KTCrafts Forum, and I'll be joining all day! I hope to be able to post my pictures here, too. Check in from time to time to see what's happening!

Waiting...

Déja Views - I lööv it!

My DH got a box of leaves for his 50th birthday... It did contain gift cards, too, but it was fun to see him open the box of leaves!

Déja Views patterned paper, ribbons, vellum, and satin leaves from SIA.

Challenges!

I love challenges and this month at KTCrafts Forum there are a lot! This weekend we're having a crop, too, so guess what I'll be doing?

This LO was made for the 10/10 challenge, which was to use 10 of everything. Besides the American Craft pattern paper I have used 10 brads, 10 die-cut stamp frames and 10 buttons.
