Here in Sweden its the first of advent, when we light the first candle, and when we light the fourth candle that means Christmas Eve is here.

Our 15 year old is at church for the first of advent mass and when the kiddo gets home we are going to decorate the gingerbread house, something that has been getting a tradition that we always do on the first of advent.

We have a new challenge up over at A perfect time to craft and as always its an open challenge.

I have used this lovely snowman Christmas gift bag from Dr Digis.

I pulled out my Christmas stuff that are laying here and there, lol.

Flowers, dried oranges, leaves, snowflakes, berries, mushrooms, twin yeah well! a little bit of this and that

613 Avenue create

Hello Everybody!

There is a new fun challenge up over at 613 Avenue create and as always its an anything goes challenge, but this month twist is give thanks.

I chose to go with anything goes.

For the first time I have colored a big image A4, and its a bit scary because it feels like every little mistake shows? but yeah! we are here for the fun and for the play, and while we play we may even learn new things, and for me its also a kind of therapy and to get my mind of every thing else going on in my life and the world.

Here's my image that I have colored with my copies. I don't really remember where she is from, cause it was such a long time since I printed her out.

I also have made a canvas....

some of the things I used on the canvas is....a layer of gesso, then different green/blue acrylics. Then I used some stencils with molding paste. I Used sprays and metallic acrylic and a lot of gold spray.

Im thinking about putting her on the canvas and decorate, but im not sure yet, so i had to step back for a while, so we will see what I decide to do. I have kind of an idea in my head, but yeah! we will see?

Anyways.... head on over to 613 Avenue create and join in in our fun challenge.

I can't wait to see your creations.

Have a wonderful day!

A perfect time to craft / unicorns

Hello Everybody!

Well I think that the fall has arrived since Iv made my last post.

The challenge over at A perfect time to craft is in full swing and for this layout I used a few cute unicorns from a set from Anne Constantly carding 

The outcome didn't look the same in my head, but oh, does it ever, lol.

I started with a craft background and put some white gesso on it. I used some molding paste with a rhombus ( I think that is what the triangular shape is called?) stencil and after it dryed I dropped some pink and blue watercolor on it. I cut out some square and triangular shapes and a few other patterned papers I thought went well with the color scheme.

A lot of fussy cutting....

Thats al from me for this time!

I hope to see you over at A perfect time to craft !

Hugs!

A perfect time to craft/Dangel

Hello everybody!

Its time for a new challenge over at A perfect time to craft!

For this month project I chose a beautiful set from crafts you print called floral roses.

I have been watching you tube a lot and saw these pearl dangels and decided to try.

Never done that before and it looked like fun! But I realized that I don't have the right tools, my nails wasn't too nice after opening and closing al this little rings, lol.

Anyways, this is how it turned out.

 

I also made a bracelet with white pearls and a heart charm.

I took two of the purple roses and made charms of them and put them on the dangle.

It was a fun little project to do, but next time I vill get me the right tools so that I can keep my fingernails whole, lol.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

A perfect time to craft

Hello everybody!

I can't believe we are already in the month of July. 

We have had a few really hot days here in Sweden, about 30c, and that's a bit too hot for me. Now its raining and its kinda cold outside. The weather man is saying that this rainy and cold wether will last for at least 10 more days, but when it rains what do we do? Well, we craft of course! lol!

Today we have a new challenge up over at A perfect time to craft.

Our sponsors for this month is Conie Fong and I have used this sweet little girl from a set called summer dreams.

I colored the sweet little girl with my copics. (in candel light because the power went off, lol) For the background of the card I used a text stencil with some modeling paste.

Then I sprayed some water on the card and used two different purple Lindys sprays on it.

I die cut a frame and on that frame I used the same two Lindys sprays. 

I found these white lace flowers and I did the same with them, some purple Lindys sprays and a white pearl in the middle of the flower.

Some more flowers, leaves, pearls and other things I found in my stash, like the beautiful bridge.

Thats al from me today.

Thank you for stopping by and I can't wait to see your creations over at A perfect time to craft

Have a wonderful day!

Hugs
