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. ;)

Time for a couple of LayOuts

Well, I have been feeling like making LOs now, so here is 2 that I made a few days ago.

The first one is a LO of Simba the cat.

I actually ruined this LO, since there came some Glaze on the photo, and when I tried to get it off it made some scratches on the photo. :(

(this happened when I had printed and cut out the flame and was going to attach it to the LO)

But, I thought a while, and then I went on my "Rescue-my-LO"-mission.

I simply plugged the printer back in and printed out another photo...then I sat down and peeled off a bit of the leaf that was attached to the photo.

Then I just attached the new photo directly over the old one, and re-attached the part of the leaf back on to the photo.

I had another flame printed out, so I cut out the tips that was going directly on the photo, and carefully attached them,

Done :)

The "frame" around the photo was made with Distress Stain and then I put stickles on it to have the glittery effect.

I also made dots around the whole page with pearl maker. :)

****

The next LO is with a photo from our wedding, and also a photo of our wedding rings. :)

The flame on this one was made with the rest of the paper from where I cut out the flame on the Simba-LO.

I put the paper on my LO and dotted with Distress Stain, and after that I dotted with red Distress Ink to get the fire-effect.

When it had dried I took my bottle of stickles and put on the whole flame...and I am very pleased with the result. :)

Here is a close-up on the flame....doesnt it look really cool?

Thats all for me today...hope you liked what I have made.

Please leave a comment, its always nice to hear what you think. :)

Hugs from Linda.

I thought about how to to, if I should write in both Swedish and English in the same Blog...but realized that it would berather messy.

So...if you want to read in English, this is the blog to visit. :)

There will be the same pictures of my crafty projects in both Blogs, so you won´t miss out on anything. ;)

Since I have made some crafts this year already, I will publish all pictures now of the things I made so far in 2012.

Have a great day and I hope you find some things that you like.
