Anyway, it's raining Valentine challenges this week, an excuse for me to get my Basic Grey Bittersweet papers out again (yes yes, I can hear you groaning, but it's just too delish :D) and get into the Valentine mood :D. Unfortunately I only had time for two challenges, here they are.
I made this cute box for the Sugarbowl challenge, which is Love & Romance :D. The box was originally filled with instant soup packets and I took it apart, made it a little larger and tada :D! Aren't us crafters resourceful ;o) I'm going to fill the box with heart-shaped chocolates and give it to this guy I like (well, in my dreams I will, because in real life I don't have the nerve!)
And here's one I made for the Basic Grey Challenge, which was a sketch and also: my first Valentine card! Hmmm, who shall I send it to....;o)
Materials used:
Sugar Nellie stamp, Hero Arts sentiment, Basic Grey Bittersweet paper, Prima flowers, spacers, brads, buttons, ribbon
Hänglar&Stänglar stamp, Whiff of Joy sentiment, Basic Grey Bittersweet paper, Prima flowers, brads
I also received some awards from Sandra and Anita, thank you so much girls!
And finally I was challenged to a photo challenge by Marjolein and Moon :D. I had to open the sixth folder in My Pictures and choose the sixth photo and tell you something about it. Well, my computer crashed last year so I only have one folder now, and in it were these two cuties: my cats Minou and Kyra :D. Last summer they made a lovely, cool, comfortable bed in my washing basket. They could look out the window and bird-watch and they've been bugging me all winter to make their washing-basket-bed! ;o)
That's all she wrote for now, back to work tomorrow! I'm going to enjoy the last four weeks with this company to the fullest ;o). Thanks for stopping by, until next time!
