Scrappy weekend


Hiya girls ,

Even though my mojo isn't back yet I can show something ..... Recently I've read lots about finishing with all the leftovers and scraps that are around .


I decided to kick myself under my butt, go to my craftcave and finish with all scraps that were laying around on my table , specially the leftovers from the serendipity !!


The results are 4 cards , simple but nice , 2 ATC's , and 6 little giftlabels ... i still have to add a ribbon on them .... not bad for someone without any inspiration , i think.. lol

Thanks for looking !!!

Cards ...

Hiya girls ,


Some cards with new stamps again :-) All stamps are from Stampingback , except the quote ... Backgrounds are done with liquid watercolor, also from Stampinback !!


Some people asked me what I am gonna do with all those cards ..... and the answer is ... I don't know !!! I send them , but my family and most of my friends , they don't apreciate handmade cards ... I send cards to close internet friends ....

But most of the cards are in boxes , if I stop making cards now, I will have more than enough to send the rest of my life ! Sometimes I wanna stop , if I see all those boxes ....... but I just like making them !!



Thanks for looking !!

Playing with colors

Hiya girls ,

If it is with inks or with yarns , I allways love to play with colors ... when I make ATC's , usually I make 2 or 3 with the same image but with different colors ... I love to see the difference a color can do with an image .

Those ATC's are colored with liquid watercolor on semi glossy paper , I heat embossed all sides with gold ...
This wonderful stamp is from Artistic Outpost .....

Thanks for looking !!

Socks :-)


Hiya girls ,

Yep, another pair of socks is finished !!! Usually I don't care about the colors , as long as you can see the socks are from the same yarn, it's okey to me .... but with this Kaffe Fasset yarn I wanted to knit 2 socks who are the same .. Because I didn't want to disturb the colorpattern I made an afterthoughtheel in those socks ..

So... what color I shall put on my needles now ?? :-)

OMG . where can I buy time ?????
