Morning,
the weather is amazing today but before I toss myself in the sun chair on the patio I wanted to show you my latest items.
This is the start of an apothecary jar, template here:


I am really pleased with it. Paper is Magnolia and then I just used some liquid pearl White opal and some lace, no other decorations necessary :).

Challenges:
Simon says - anything goes
Live and love crafts - warm or cool colours (I went with a cool colour)
Creative Inspirations - anything goes
Onestopcraft - keep it simple
Addicted to stamps and more - anything goes

And I also took this storage thingy from IKEA - so not my style - and covered it with mod podge and some fabric, lots prettier now :).




Have a gorgeous day all!

It's not that I'm cheap, but I always take an extra look at things around me to see if I can use them in the craft room. Sometimes the most ordinary thing can be used in new and creative ways. And that's why the challenge at Allsorts this week is to think outside the box - to use something that wasn't meant for crafting in the first place.
I took the foil wrapper from my favourite chocolate bar and embossed it. It works splendidly as a backing paper for the image - and the card smells delicious as an extra bonus, hehe!

Since it's Midsummer's Eve the weather has to be slightly crappy - of course. But with tasty friends and funny food it will probably be ok :).

So, the new challenge at Stampin for the Weekend is wild and crazy and anything goes. I decorated a glass jar with an image from LotV, all in my favourite colour blue =).

This week at Allsorts Emma wants you to be inspired by a song. Well, I'm a sucker for the golden oldies so I decided to go for "It's my Party" from the album I´ll cry if I want to by Lesley Gore, 1963.

I made a new cover for a packet of tissues, handy for wiping tears and such :)
Paper is Tim Holtz, flowers from Wild Orchid.
So, what's your song of choice?

Other challenges:
Polka doodles - inspired by a song

This week at Allsorts the theme is Anything but square so I figured I might as well do something that's definitely not square - a pin cushion :)

I made the base from an empty roll of double-sided tape, filled with cotton, covered with lace and put a fancy bow as decoration.

Jag vill också göra en ryggsäck när alla andra kan :). Lilla fröken ville inte ha två band utan bara ett dock, så så fick det bli.

Since backpacks are commonly made I wanted to try one too, little miss at home wanted one ribbon instead of two, so so be it!

Great tutorial here
