Lots of new crafty things

I have been a baaaaaaaad girl, who have, once again, forgot to update my English blog.

So...here is all the things I have made since the last time I updated.

I have been a Guest Designer for a store here in Sweden in June... 

Here is what I made for them :)

Week 1

Week 2

Week 3

Week 4

Finally, I made a card for my friend Mia´s birthday :)

Hope there was something here that you liked. :)

I would get VERY happy for comments, or if you would Subscribe and be a member of my blog.

Have a GREAT weekend.

Easel Card

I really liked the idea of egg-shaped cards for Easter, so with some help from my kind husband, I made an Easel Card shaped like an egg.

It was so very fun to make, but as you can see, its cut out by hand.

Despite that, I am very pleased with the result.

The stamp with the 3 chickens was designed by my friend Sandy.

She is a very talanted girl, and for my birthday I got a whole bunch of rubberstamps that she have designed, so you will definately see more of her stamp designs later on. :)

I really keep my fingers crossed that Sandy will design more rubberstamps in the future, cause I really love her style.

Here is a close-up of the chickens, aren´t they adorable?

Have a great day!

A bunch of new things I have made

I havent blogged here for a while, so now I have several things to show you. :) 

First I have made a flower spiral, or what its called.

I have used floral-tape and some flowers and leaves.

This was my first try, and I am rather satisfied with it.

At the therapy I have started to weave a carpet.

Its really fun, but it will take some time to get it done.

When I was sick for a week, I wanted to try to make some decorations for my LOs, so I tried to crochet some butterflies.

I was surprised how easy it was, so I made several of them. :)

And, as you can see, I also crocheted  a dragonfly. :)

I made a card for a dear friend of mine, with the sentiment "Hugs" on the front.

Insidde I wrote how thankful I was for her (and her daughters) friendship.

I actually started with this card over 6 months ago, but got stucked, so thats why it took so long to finish.

Easter is just around the corner, so I wanted to make some egg-shaped cards.

My husband helped me to draw and cut out the cards, and then I decorated them.

They where so fun to make, so I will absolutely make more of these.

Maybe I can make some for Mother-In-Law to sell at her work?

Do you think anyone would buy such cards as these?

The first days in March I was at my very first Scrapbooking-fair, where I also participated on a get-together with over 80 other scrapbookers.

I had so much fun, and I will absolutely go there this fall when its another Scrapbooking get-together and fair. :)

This is my nameplate that I made before I went there.

We had several challanges, one of them was to make a card with some specific supplies; a button, a wooden stick and a clothes pin.

This is what I came up with.

Another challenge was to make a LO with Swedens new Princess.

Its our Crown Princess Victoria and her husband Prince Daniel that had a baby in the end of February.

I made a rather simple LO, but I am pleased with the result. :)

I didnt win anything in the challenges, but I had fun, and thats the most important thing. :)

I hoped that you liked my crafty update.

A comment always makes me happy. ;)
