Ready for the Holidays at CCC

Good evening!

Lately I've had a lot on my plate - I've juggeling a lot at the University and I've also been hit by a bad cold unfortunately. Luckily I'm all well now.

This week at CCC we want you to get READY FOR THE HOLIDAYS by making either something for American Thanksgiving or make something for Christmas. I've chosen to make a Christmas card, since we here in Sweden don't celebrate Thanksgiving.









The image is from Pion Design and the papers are from a collection from Maja Design. Ribbons and lace are from LLC and roses are from WOC. The brads in silver are from a sale a while ago bought at scrapbooking4you.se. The hanger, pin and beaded flower are from LLC as well.

I've colored the clip and the love hanger with white gesso to better match my card. The ticket says "Merry Christmas", but in Swedish, for you who don't know.

Split it up at CCC

Good evening!

University sure keeps you busy. Finished up a short paper yesterday and this week it has planned for us to read a book, write a summary of the book, have a compulsory seminar and also perform a play based of the book... Luckily I'm not working at the gas station this weekend!

Now I'll tell you about the challenge at CCC this week. It's called SPLIT IT UP and we want you to use a sentiment on your project, but to split it up. I've chosen to write two words on two pieces of paper to place on my project. I've made a bookmark with gorgeous Tilda Blowing Hearts.

Make two over at Crafty Creations

Good morning!

This is going to be a scheduled post, since I'm at work (working day five out of seven). My last week before school starts. Starting this fall, and three years forward, I'll be studying sociology. Feels great to move forward!

The announce I actually wanted to make was to present the challenge this week over at Crafty Creations. And this week we want to see your interpretation of MAKE TWO. I've interpreted very literally and made TWO pin holders.

If you want to make one yourself check out the tutorial above under "TUTORIALS". They are SO easy and so much fun to make!











Roses - Wild Orchis
Guipure lace - Live & Love Crafts
Pearls - PY Hobby
Pearl string - Live & Love Crafts
Crisp ribbon - Live & love Crafts
Pom pom trim - Live & Love Crafts

These two ended up at my two best friends - one who likes blue and the other one who likes green.

Hope you've found some inspiration!
