Thank you pillow box

Good day

It is almost a week now, that I wanted to make some of these boxes to put in a few candy as thank you gift, but with the weather came a flu bug which had to stop by me. Feeling better I used the opportunity to play. I used corrugated board from my stash as well as flower, buttons and ribbon from my stash.

I used the following challenges as inspiration:
The Outlawz Colour challenge 21 November with twist of thanksgiving - Orange, brown and winter white
The Outlawz Twisted Thursday 16 - 22 November - Buttons, bows, brads
Tuesday Morning Sketches #430
Crafty Cardmakers #200 - Anything but a card
Crafty Creations #355 - Anything goes

Happy thanksgiving to all the people celebrating it!
Hugs from Africa!

Mr Snowman

Good day

It is sometime quite a challenge when you do not experience the same weather as Blogland. Everybody is super excited about snow and winter, while we are enjoying summer and sun. Luckily we had some rain and cooler weather lately, so I had fun in my craft room. This is a digi from Digistamp4Joy and is November's progressive challenge on Facebook. I search for some decoupage images and with my search I came upon some forgotten stuff, like this card stock made from handmade paper. I played with bits and pieces from my stash. Used a Cuttlebug snow border emboss folder. and some peel off snowflakes for decorations. The sentiment was taken from a quote book.

Challenges I took my inspiration from:
Cute Card Thursday #504 - Birds/Animals
Lemon Shortbread #54 - Anything goes
Creative Moments #131 - Anything goes
Digistamp4Joy #142 - Anything goes/One for the guys
The Outlawz Wednesday Sketch 15 November 2017
The Paper Shelter #318 - Add some snowflakes

Thank you for your visit, hope you have a lovely day!

CAS is not one of my strongest points in creation. I always tend to more than less. Today I had this inspiration and it just popped. The paper is from my stash and the leaves was made from all the bits and pieces and an IO dies. The sentiment die is from Nellie Snellen. I used a Cuttlebug emboss folder on the background.

Feeling blue

Good day

Here we just had a big thunderstorm and rain is always welcome even when it comes with hail. Just before that I have finished this project. I played with all kinds of paper, from my stash, with some form of glitter or bling on it. Unfortunately you can't always see it on photos, but I tried my best to get a good angle. The digi is from Lacy Sunshine and is called Octavia Melancholy Moppet. She was almost the only one whom will fit in the colour scheme and theme.

Challenges I took my inspiration from:
Lacy Sunshine Facebook challenge - Winter/Christmas
Cute Card Thursday #503 - Sparkles
Cheerful Sketches - November
C.R.A.F.T #441 - Winter
The Sisterhood of Crafters - Let the Sparkles fly
The Outlawz Twisted Thursday - 3Brads, Flowers, pearls (I missed the 3 in front)

If I go braless....

Good day

It is my friend's birthday today. She is still young but I just felt like making her smile. I chose Stella Peeker Braless from Bugaboo with the tongue in cheek sentiment. I think the choice of pink was also because it is something different from all the autumn challenges going on currently.

Aud sentiment - #192 - Bingo plus sentiment - Die cuts, Digi, Pink
Tuesday Morning Sketches #428
Creative Craft Cottage #99 - Buttons and/or Bows

Good luck

Good day

One of my husband's colleagues are moving on to greener pastures and they bought him a gist voucher. I was asked to make a little box to fit the voucher. Since he is a big golfer I picked this cute digi from Bugaboo called Buggolfguy. I used corrugated paper for the box and incorporated it with the sketch. I used the colours from the inspirational photo from Catch the bug.

Challenges I took my inspiration from:
Catch the Bug October Photo challenge
Stella says sketch #517
Digistamp4Joy November challenge - For a male
