New career...new blog...

Hi everybody,

Wanna tell you a bit about myself. I don't know if you know, but I am a stay-at-home-mom. We have three beautiful girls, two at school already and one at preschool 3 days a week. Our youngest will begin at school in august and then I will have 5 days a week, every morning to myself. 

I really want to start something for myself, something small to begin with. 

I used to sew a lot of cloths for myself, my husband, my kids and others. I have sewn trousers, sweaters, coats, little girls dresses, curtains, toys, and lots of other stuff. Before it was pure for pleasure, but I think it would be fun to try to make a little career out of it :o). So I have brought out my sewingmachine again and started with a ladies sweater. To show you what I make, I have established a new blog:

Cols Clothing Company

The blog is in Norwegian, but you can let it translate by using the translation box.
I hope you will visit me some time there and let me know what you think of my projects.

Wish me luck in my "new career" :o))

Happy Birthday Malin!

Hi!

For my oldest daughter I made this box for her birthday. I found it on Renata's blog, but there was no description. I found that on Thea's Creations. Thank you both, ladies!

On the inside there are many surfaces you have to decorate. 

And the centerpiece is a cute little cake!

I scanned the Magolia-stamp and made her very tiny :o)

I stamped a greeting on the inside as well and wrote of course some words for the birthday-girl :o)

It was some work, but I think it is so cute, this box, just like my girl :o))

Bye, bye, see you next time!

Mine første fletter....my first braids...

Hi everyone!

Already last year I made this LO from the first little braids of my youngest daughter. She was so proud of them :o)

I used some "pearly swirls" and layered a flower. 

Under the designpaper is a cake napkin (? I don't know if that is the correct word)

The letters are from Tickers and Kaisercraft.

You can also see the MS-punch I used to make a kind of border round the big picture. 

A flower in the middel to bind the pictures together and this LO is complete :o)

Thanks for your visit again and let me know what you think, OK?

Bye bye!

God Jul.....CCWS # 28

Hi all!

Here I am again with a card. This one is for our next challenge at Christmas Challenges {with sketches}, CCWS. Carol made a beautiful sketch, a round one, so nice! Thanks Carol, it was a pleasure to make a card with your sketch :o)

I cut this card with my silhouette. First the cardbase, with a kind of hinge and then a blue circle to cover the card. With my silhouette I cut out the snowflakes in the white cardstock and made it a little bit smaller then the blue one. 

My Santa is sitting on a ribbon from Kort og Godt and I colored him with my Derwent coloring pencils:

skin: 170-190-620

hair and beard: 710

clothes and shoes: 340-360-310-720

and lots of stickles: baby blue, frosted lace, diamond

Behind him is a round piece of frosted vellum from my stash, where I stamped my sentiment on. 

I used three of the snowflakes that came out of the card and glued them with 3D-dots on the card. 

I furtheron decorated my card with my perlen pen.

Treats...

Hi everybody!

A little while ago I made these treats for my daughters birthdayparty. She gave them to her guests after the party as a little thank you. 

I made a photo-tutorial for you. It's very easy and I think the pictures tell it all. 

14 x 14 cm.

At this point you fill your box with some goodies and tie it with a nice ribbon.

I didn't glue it by the way :o)

Try it sometimes. And if you have any questions please let me know!

Bye bye :o)

Dreamer

Hi!

Another lay-out I made a little while ago. It's my daughter as a little dreamer :o)

I used white cardstock and left-over pieces of designpaper from my stash.

The stamps bind them together a little bit and make it a whole.

All those wonderful flowers are from my stash too and in some of them I put a pearl to complete it.

I hope you like my lay-out. Let me know, OK. I love to read your comments :o)

Have a good day and see you next time.

Bye bye...
