Best Christmas Wishes


Hi again
I have christmas projects going on most of the year, but now as the days are shorter, the weather colder and nights are darker, I use most of my scrap room time working on christmas projects.
Oh, I love this time of the year!

- And I love making christmas cards, especially cards like this, kind of shabby chic/ vintage, full of dies and bling, ribbons and laces, twine, cheesecloth and Frantage and "splatted" with Gesso.
The DPs (that barely are showing) on this card are from MajaDesign.
Inside I used a textstamp from Papirdesign.
The image (Magnolia) is coloured with ProMarkers.

Christmas Notebook


Hello again, friends and followers.
Suddenly I got the house all to myself as the rest of the family went fishing. There's still more than an hour to NCIS starts, so I thought I'd have some happy time in my work room :)

Tonight I'll show you a little christmas note book that I made. Well - I made the cover to put a store bought notebook in... Quite handy when preparing for christmas.
I used Bazzill Kraft Cardstock, and DPs from Maja Design, some twine, a label holder and a couple of brads to keep it in place. All papers are inked with DistressInk WalnutStain.
The border on the picture panel is made with a Martha Stewart Punch.
Here it is:

Snowflakes


Good Morning everyone.
Only 30-few days until Christmas,
I have found one of my beloved Magnoliastamps again, and made a blue and white, wintertime christmascard.
The image is coloured with ProMarkers. DPs are MajaDesign Vintage Frost Basics. I used lots of different dies for decorations on the card. I put some cheesecloth under the image and a little Frantage (Chunky White) around it. I also used laces, halfpearls and pearlstrings, some swirls, a snowflakecharm. Two silverbells are attached to the bow made of seambindingribbon.
I used the new DistressInk HickorySmoke on the paperedges - great colour, but I don't think it'll be a new favourite like the WalnutStain is...


On the left inside I made a pocket to hold two tags - either to stamp or write greetings on, or simply to use as gifttags. On the right side I placed a writing panel, made with a Punch Around The Page set from Martha Stewart.

On the back of the card I put on a die cut made with my new dies from Xcut (docrafts)....

...isn't it just gorgeous??? I LOVE it!

The image is coloured with ProMarkers

Time For Magnolia #108 - Winter Wonderland

Things with Wings @ I ❤️ ProMarkers


Good Morning to you all.
Wednesday again, and I'm here to invite you to join the brand new challenge over at
I ❤️ ProMarkers

This weeks sponsor is
QKR Stampede 
The prize for the lucky winner this week is 3 digi images of the winners' choice.

Theme for this weeks challenge is
Things with Wings

How you interpret this is entirely up to you, but please remember you MUST use either ProMarkers, FlexMarkers, TriaMarkers or AquaMarkers and of course follow the theme to be entered into the prize draw, if not your entry will be deleted.

We would prefer that you have Word Verification turned off on your blogs, this slows us down so much when we go to leave you lovely comments.  If you have it turned on, then we're very sorry but we won't be able to leave you any comments, but your entry WILL still be entered into the prize draw.

Of course I have made a thing (with wings) to inspire you to join us.
I used the image Heart Box Angel on my project this week.
And what I've made this week is a wall hanging.
I used papers from Maja Design, and coloured the image in colours I think matched the papers.
Around the image I sprinkled on a little Shabby White Frantage.
To decorate the wall hanging I used Flowers, lace, pearlstrings, cheesecloth, twine and a button.
The little stamped text is from Kort&Godt.
In one of the bottom corners I put a magnet underneath the DP, it's meant to hold pins I often use when I have to make quick fixings...
All paperedges are distressed and inked with DistressInk WalnutStain

Here it is, with several close-ups:

Almond, Putty, Satin, Tan, Pale Blossom, Blossom, Primrose, Warm Grey1, Blender

Use a Tag @ My Besties International


Good Morning, Friends.
I'm really sorry I'm a day lat with my DT post for the new challenge at My Besties International.
Sometimes familymatters just have to come first...
But, anyway, here's my posting with my project for the new challenge over at

and as always there are wonderful prizes

The theme for this challenge is
So make a tag, or use a tag on a card or whatever you’re project 

For this challenge I’ve made a little «Chocolate-Card-Gift-Tag». 
I have made several Chocolate Cards over the years, after the tutorial from Marianne at Mariannes Papirverden. Her tutorial is for the 100g chocolates. I’ve also made some for the bigger chocolates (200g). Whilst making some of the latest chocolate cards, I’ve been thinking that one could make for the smallest chocolatebars as well. 
So I sat down with paper, pencil, ruler and eraser, and started measuring the little chocolatebar. 
I'll put in a picture tutorial with the measurements for the little chocolatebar here in a few days.

I made the tag base out of kraft cardstock. DPs are from Majadesign. To decorate the tag I put together some spices and a little lace, and put a pink, little halfpearl in the corner.

Inside the "tag" there's place for the smallest sized milkchocolate bar. I stamped a little greeting inside. An organzaribbon i fastened underneath the DPs, to close the tag.

On the back "To - From" is stamped on. Here you also can see the eyelet where I put the twine through:

I'll enter these challenges:
That Craft Place - Shabby Chic
Brown Sugar #113 - Anything Goes
Fab ´n´ Funky #230 - Christmas
4 Crafty Girls #27 - Anything Goes
Kort o Mania #115 - Alt Går
