Recently I found some pretty and cheap yarn in my local grocery store. And when I brought it home my youngest daughter proclaimed that I had to make a scarf and a hat for her in it. So I did, well at least I made a scarf, she wasn't too crazy about the hat, so I made it big enough for myself instead.
Back in September my colleague Kim turned 50, but it happened right after we all got sent home to work from our home offices again, so we didn't get a chance to give him his gifts and celebrate him until here in October, where we all had to go to the same company course. To make him feel old - I know, we are such nice colleagues 😁 - I had made him a survival kit box which contained items that will come in handy when you get old. Inspiration to the items I found on Google, and then I found a wooden box at Søstrene Grene to hold all of the things. Of course I couldn't pass up the chance of decorating the box, so I found some papers from UHK Gallery to decorate it with. Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures from the side, so you can only see the lid of the box. Here is how it turned out:
Inspired by some cards I saw on Facebook, I have made the following 2 cards, these must definitely be CAS cards since they are very simple and very fast to make:
I am a huge fan of Maja Design and use their papers for a lot of my cards and so I also have a lot of scrap pieces, because I don't have the heart to throw away all those left over pieces, even though some are very small. So I have made two Christmas cards where I have used some of my scrap pieces.
Today I saw a card on Hobbybodens blog (link), which inspired me to make something similiar but with a little more splash, which I did by just adding one color to each card. I am pretty pleased with how they turned out, even though they are very CAS compared to what I usually make:
During the summer I made several dish cloths to learn different techniques, now that I am a newbie at that, and here are some more of them:
This week I bought something I have wanted to buy for a while - a hot foil machine from Spellbinders, and so when I received it Friday I immediately had to test it. I had before hand watched several YouTube videos about it and how it was also possible to use regular dies, and since I had also bought some new dies, I chose to try that. And I am pretty pleased with the outcome.
