Sketchy Challenge #67

Hi, I'm already back again today!

In January my oldest son left home and moved out.... :'(

He got a job and had to get his own appartment since this is 400 kilometres from home.

Well, I know he is reponsible and mature enough to make it on his own

but, ouch, it hurts in the mother-heart. 

This weekend I'm lucky enough to have him home for a visit to celebrate his brother's 17th birthday!

It's a wonderful feeling when the family are together again 

and the happiness and love that are in the air, one can almost touch!

I made a move-away-box for him and that is so fitting for our new challenge

at The Sketchy Challenges!

Because this time we don't have a sketch for you to follow....

The theme is:

"make your own sketch/anything goes"

The doorstamp is from Vilda Stamps and the papers from Maja Design and Bo Bunny.

I also used TH, Magnolia DooHickey, Memory Box and QK dies.

Flowers of course and a fitting key :)

Now it's time for you to make "anything you like" for our fortnight challenge

at The Sketchy Challenges where we have a lovely prize for you to win!

Pop over and meet the host of this challenge, Hilde and Petra, and the other talented ladies!

Hope to see you there!

Anything Goes Challenge - Taking a break

Hello!

Today is supposed to be a Anything Goes Challenge day

with the theme Altered Art or Tags.

But since some of our teamies have been going through some tough months

the team have decided to take a short break.

We will be back after New Year with full strength and loaded battery and hopefully we have new fresh blood in our group too.

I really hope you won't give up on us because we will be back!

I have made this little Mini House for this challenge but I would like to show it to you anyway.

This house is from Tando Creative and I have decorated it with:

 Magnolia's mini Tilda, Doo Hickey (Vintage box lacing coffee and Poinsettia)

An Angel from my stash, charm tree, Christmas bells, gingerbread man,

rolling pin, Christmas stocking, fern leaves, bling

and papers from Pion Design.

Thanks for visiting me today and I hope you will come back and join us again

at Anything Goes Challenge in 2014!

Anything Goes Challenge #93

Here I am again for my second post today!

A new challenge at Anything Goes has gone live!

The theme we have chosen for you is 

"Handmade backgrounds"!

I went for an mini chest of drawers that I altered with little pieces of 

design papers, from Paper Cellar.

This is a technique that I learned from Hels Sheridan's workshop when I visited England.

You cut out smal pieces of paper in no specific size 

and then you just overlap the pieces over eachother in random order.

Really easy and so much fun when you get the hang of it!

Then I added some embellishments on my drawer such as,

Prima flowers, lace, butterfly border from Martha Stewart,

mini tags and leafswirls from Magnolia, metal corner and a metal butterfly.

I also put some text on each drawer so I know what I have in them.

The odd thing about my project is that there is no image for me to colour

but sometimes you just have to step out of the drawer, lol.

If you need some more inspiration of how to make your own

Handmade backgrounds just take a look at my sweet teammates and you will find

some amazing projects that will inspire you.

And if you don't have all of you material

you should definately visit Lynne's shop Craft Den for all the goodies you need.

See you soon!
