613 create

Hello and good morning!

Today is a really cold but beautiful day outside. We have -17c outside here in sweden today, brrrr!

I had to go outside and take a few photos in the sun, and speaking of the sun, over at 613 create we have a new challenge up. As always its an anything goes challenge, but this months optional twist is new beginnings and that made me think of spring. Its a new beginning for al the flowers, trees and nature, so i made a little spring banner.

Heres my little banner....

Once again I dug in to my stash and found a kit with some beautiful Websters pages papers, so i decided to go with that. I made five pennants in different sizes and shapes. I glued the pennants on to the ribbon and then covered it with some lace.

I found some chipboard, different kinds of flowers and stickers. Then I die cut some elements, found some cute resin bird houses and just went for it.

More flowers, chipboards, stickers and die cuts....

Then i found this blue/teal bird chipboard that i thought went so well with the bird houses. More flowers and a resin frame that I added some white pearls in and a little bow under the flowers....

At the ends I put some smaller pennants and I added a big bow with a beautiful big pink flower.

Im gonna hang it up in the window or something in the spring.

Thats all from me and thank you for stopping by my blog. Now head over to 613 create and join us in this challenge. See you over there!

Hugs!

Hello an HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Hoppas ni mår bra idag? Lite sugen på att några av är kanske lite lagom idag, lol!

Borta hos oss var vi bara jag hennes fästman och dotter. Vi åt lite god mat som jag gjorde och spelade ett tv-spel som är en tradition här i sverige på nyårsafton, bingolotto. Jag tror att jag såg kanske två brandverk, vi bor ute på landet med många hästar och andra djur runt omkring, så för deras skalle gör vi inte brandarbetet längre. Vad gjorde du på nyårsafton och några nyårslöften?

Över på A place to start har vi en ny utmaning idag, som alltid går allt men denna månads twist är ett gate fold-kort.

Så här är mitt kort.....

Jag hittade några fina vinterpapper som jag bestämde mig för att leka med och som jag tyckte passade ganska bra med min färgbild. För många år sedan hade jag ett par scrapbooking kit prenumerations och dessa papper kommer från en av dessa kit. älskade att de är blingiga.

Jag gjorde ett band runt kortet som är lätt att glida av med en liten vinterönske.

Några blommor från min staschhäxa lade jag till några blå stickles på, och en liten kotte, blingy, blingy!

I mitten av mitt kort la jag till min färgade bild, o snöglob, det var denna månadens kopiekurs på kit och clowder.

På höger sida av mitt kort gjorde jag en liten ficka med en etikett....

....så på baksidan av den lilla taggen kan du skriva ett litet meddelande.

Detta var allt från mig för den här gången. hoppas vi ses på En plats att börja !

Gott nytt år allihopa!

kramar

Something new over at A place to start

Hello and happy monday!

Weekend is over so here we go again! But soon we have winter holiday!

Yesterday i baked some "lusse bullar" thats what we call them here in sweden and they are baked in christmas times. And yeah!, i always try to make it fun,lol!

Over at A place to start we have a new challange up, something new.

I have never made a shaker card before and think they look so fun, so i had to try do make one, so thats new for me. The little cow stamp is also new, or maybe not that new, but it was the first time i used it.

I colored the cow with my copics and then fussy cut it and glued it to the back ground. I made some frames and cut out some acetate from a package of die cuts that i have and glued the acetate to the frames. then i added two layers of puffy tape to the frames so that i then could put the sequins and little pearls inside.

I made my own cloud background stencil and used two different colors of distress inks.

I tried to upload a video of the shaker card but guess i failed, lol!

But if you want to see it shaking you can see it on my instagram https://www.instagram.com/bettinabillung/

Now pop over to A place to start to see what new things our design team members have created and cant wait to see what new things you have created.

Have a wonderful monday!

Hugs!

For a child at A place to start

hello everybody!

Just me here again for the second time today!

i was invited to join the DT team at A place to start, YAY!, witch is the sister blog to 613 create.

This months theme is For a child. I wanted to do a little wintery card for my first dt project, so i colored up a little tilda image holding this cute little dear.

I have a few grandkids who loves animals, so i tought i would send this to theme as a cristmas card.

I colored the image with my copics and then some flowers and other fun stuff i found in my stasch. Flowers, lace, wood leaves, chip board and other bits and peaces.

So happy to be joining this team and i hope to see you there!

Autumn colors!

God morning everyone!

Its time for a new challenge at Avenue 613 create, yay!

As always the challenge is anything goes but we also have a twist, and this month twist is autumn colors.

I recently started to take coloring classes at kit and clowder again. I did take the monthly coloring classes a few years back and thought that since i got my mojo back to color i needed some expert advice to get me started again. You kinda forget how to do it when you don´t color for a few years.

Anyways, i found this digi image of a cute witch from a coloring class that i think was in september 2021, im not sure tho, but thought this image was perfect for our challenge twist, autumn colors!

Lots of different techniques like the wood, greenery and so on. Didn´t have al the right colors since some of my copics had dryed out, but the good thing is that the copics are refillable, so just have to buy me some new refill inks. Im happy with some parts and not so happy with other parts, but practice, practice.

I chose to put the colored image in a frame, and i dont know, but maybe have it as a decoration at halloween time, with the pumpkin, cat and witch.

....and then some flowers and little trinklets that i found in my stasch.

I do get carried away with my flowers, like that black butterfly is way to much. oh well! I think he felt lonely in my drawer and wanted to come out and fly!
