Little Outbursts of Creativity

November challenge

I was inspired by Malins great sketch for the november challenge at Hobbyworld and made this LO. The picture is of my daughter and het friend, they are always having the best time toghether. I made the LO with christmas papers from Basic Grey, I just used the pink, aqua and grey papers. I think the colors went really well with my photo.

Since it was Malin who came up with this challenge there had to be some flowers and bling on the creation. I just love how it turned out. I took some paper roses and scattered around the page and then I had some super cute christmas bling from Marianne Design in the shapes of trees and snowflakes. I sacrificed a tree, cut it up in little pieces and scattered them around the page and it looks really cute when they catch the light.

So go right over to Hobbyworld and check out the great sketch and the prize this month is two of my favoutite tools. One pair of Cutter-Bee scissors and Tweezer-Bee tweezers. These are great, I could not live without mine! Go, play, have fun! And good luck :) Also, while you are´there you have to check out my friend Tesas cuckoo clock. It is AMAZING! Wow!

25’th and Pine

I’ve made a matchig set of three christmas cards using the lovely Basic Grey collection 25’th and Pine. I love the old fashioned style and colors. This was one of the challenges from Karlstad that I didn’t have time to make. Luckely enough for me there are still time since the CC at Svensk Scrapbooking have all the same challenges. And even better I got these lovely papers from Hobbyworld in my DT-kit and it’s quite easy making a kit with all papers from the same series. I’ve used the green leaves with the red berrys to tie the cards together and also the twine is the same on all three cards.

I cut out one of the tags from a patterned paper and used a chubby eyelet to make it complete, the ornament is from one of the sticker sheets.

All these decorations comes from a pack full of lovely die cuts.

The last card I’ve embellished with stickers and one of the diecuts. I rounded two of the corners with the WRMK corner chomper.

Autumn Signs

Earlier today the first part of Hobbyworlds great fall challenge was presented. You really can’t miss this! I made a layout as inspiration and it’s all about autumn signs. I don’t really like autumn, its dark and gloomy but ther are some things I really like (like having HUGE cups of my favourite tea).

I made my own cut file for the Cameo as a title. I drew the text by hand, painted it black and scanned it into my computer. Then I traced it in the Silhouette Studio and cut it out. I’m no artist but I like how it turned out.

Almost everything on this layout is cut out with the Cameo and then misted (lots of Heidi Swapp Colorshine in gold, I’m addicted!!!!). I also stuck everything down with hot glue and 3D adhesive so there are lots of dimension on this layout. I use Bazzils Prismatic paper for cutting things out with the Cameo when I can. It cuts great even if the shapes are intricate. The orange “flowers” behind the photos are made with an edger punch from EK Success and cut apart.

Material/Supplies:

• Silhouette Cameo
• Bazzil Basics Cardstock – White
• Bazzil Prismatic Cardstock – White
• Basic Grey Lucille Gather Paper
• Basic Grey Mini Alpha Stickers Grey
• EK Success Flower burst Large Edger Punch
• Scrapbook Adhesives 3D Foam Squares - White, Variety Pack
• Martha Stewart Crafts Ball Point Glue Pen
• Artemio Mini Glue Gun

Morning sun

We have had a wonderful long weekend with lots of sun around here. It was so nice I totally forgot to blog in advance as I usually do. So here are my Hobbyworld inspiration for today, a bit later than usual.

I’ve been digging in my stash and wanted to use Clipping from Basic Grey again. I am nuts about that collection, it is one of my favourites! I picked some papers in different shades of green and made an ombre background for my photo. I cut messy by hand to give some extra texture and sewed the papers to the cardstock with golden thread.

For decoration I used some thread, stickers and a really great punch from Martha Stewart. You can punch the whole scalloped circle or this scalloped frame (and get a plain circle as a bonus) as I did. Love how useful it is!

I used some vellum to back my photo with and are really happy how it turned out. It looks a bit dreamy.

Inspiration for the May challenge

Matching birthday cards and an addition to the family :)

 

This is my inspiration for this months challenge at Hobbyworld. I made two quick cards for a double birthday party my son is going to today. I used Basic Greys colorful collection Knee Highs & Bow Ties. I used my sewing machine to stitch in gold thread to make them extra special.

I also wanted to introduce our latest addition to the family :) This is Hugo and he is a 9 weeks old Saluki puppy. He is the cutest puppy ever and we allready love him. Well, our other dog think he is kind of strange still but they are just getting to know eachother. It’s really wierd having a puppy who is allready larger than our other dog. But he is such a great puppy, he learns really fast and seems very happy to live with us.

Inspiration for the May challenge

Here are my inspiration for the May challenge at Hobbyworld. Well, sort of... Since I am a bit confused i totally missed the fact that there were supposed to be flowers also. There are no flowers on this card obviously. So please do send in something for the challenge but don’t forget the flowers ;-)

I was sorting through my stash and could not find a single purple paper or embellishment. So I made my own using vanilla cardstock, stamps and inkpads. The butterfly is diecut from a vanilla cardstock that I presseda to my inkpad to make it purple. Then I also stamped on it using a darker color. I cut up some bling from Prima to make antennas. Isn’t it just lovely?

I would love to see your creations so don’t miss out on the challenge for this month. All the details are to be found in this post.

Visiting Hobbyworld

Knee Highs by Basic Grey

Welcome to my craft room!

Today is more than just a good day...

I made this card for Hobbyworld using some scrap pieces from Basic Greys amazing collection True Love and a heart punch. A really easy card to make but I love how it turned out. I sorted the hearts by color to make an ombre effect and used some prima gemstones to bling it up a bit.

I have some catching up to do (again) in the blog. I’ve been trying out Project Life and doing some other random things. For some reason I have trouble getting myself to the scraproom nowadays. I’m not sure why but there are slightly less activity here on the blog since I typically just get my Hobbyworld project done each week. And when I do get something else done it takes forever for me to actually blog it. I need to get back to some kind of regularity again, anyone have some advice on how to do that? I still get some small bursts of inspiration but to actually do something is apparently very hard right now... Thanks for stopping by anyways, at least sundays are a sure thing still :)
