Are you busy with your last minute holiday organization or did you have already arranged everything? well, I have to do –almost- everything and I super worry about it… I hope to have enough time to do what I planned… we’ll see!!!!

Warm Wishes

and what I made is a little tag!!!

CIMG0725

 

this time I colored my Tilda with watercolor pencil and just added a little bit of stickles here and there.

But I can’t decide where I can put it…maybe on the Wreath right next to the reindeer…

CIMG0719

 

…or on my advent table centerpiece…

CIMG0726

 

or maybe on my –other- heart shape little wreath…

CIMG0727

well… I really don’t know where I can put it… I think I’m going to take it for myself and I will use it as a bookmark for my Holiday’s reading!!!

Hope you like it…

I wish you all a Merry Crafty Christmas and a Happy full of new ideas Year…

for the tree I use the pattern from this wonderful project, I simply re-sized it, stamped the cardstock with a Hero Arts background stamp and sew them.

I colored the Tildas with distress ink pads, handwrite the Noel sentiment and put some stickles on it. a bunch of snowflakes ( and a Tim Holtz snowflakes border) and that’s it!!! I finished it late at night and I had to take the photo right away…sorry, it looks so flat!!!! maybe I should take the pictures again…!!!

Crochet Flower

Hi
it’s the First of November and it’s time for another ABC Challenge!!!!
this time was a little of a challenge for me as this fortnight theme is Crochet Flower and I’d never crocheted before…!!!this is one of the reason why I loved making this card… the challenge theme gave me the opportunity of learning something new… (thanks to my Sister, who brought me a wonderful book, YouTube and Pinterest, of course!!!) these are my very first flowers… they’re not perfect… I really need to practice!!! I saw wonderful flower shawls… I think I’m going to make me one someday!!!!
well, let’s go back to the Challenge… as I said this fortnight the theme is Crochet Flowers… and this what I've made:
CIMG0633
CIMG0635CIMG0636
I kept it quite simple as I put lots of crochet flowers on it… just a paper on the background, a lace, a ribbon, some pearls and a couple of tickets. I colored the Flirty Anya (from The Greeting Farm) with Distress ink pads and I put a  little bit of glossy on her flower.
so, if you like to crochet or you love to learn something new or simply you see a marvelous crochet flower on your favorite crafty shop… let’s join us at ABC Challenge and have fun!!!! for a bit of inspiration check out the wonderful cards the other DT members made for this challenge and share you love to them!!!!
bye bye
