Sparkle and Shine

Hyvää pyhäinpäivää! Tänään ollaan koko perheen voimin Kätevä Tekevä messuilla Lahdessa! Tytär on ommellut muotinäytökseen joitakin asuja esim, tuon astronautin puvun;  kiva mennä katsomaan  esitys  #Toivo #Hope.
Yhteistyön ovat tehneet messujen kanssa Theatrum Olga ja Salpaus oppilaitos kierrätysmateriaaleista.

Tervetuloa Allsorts haasteen pariin! Tämän viikon emäntänä häärin minä ja aiheeksi valitsin hohdot ja kimallukset. Varmaan ne joulukortit ovat muillakin mielessä. Joulumyyntipaikaksi varmistui Kauppakeskus Trion Joulukatu ( Lahti) 9 päivää ajalla 19.11. - 27.11. Tulkaahan sitten!

Autumn Dahlia Card

 Hei, muistutus We Love Stamping,  lokakuun korttihaasteesta " syksyn värit"! Tervetuloa, vielä ehdit  mukaan! Mallikortissa uusi leimasimeni ensi käytössä. Tänä kesänä pihallani kasvoi n. 10 erilaista Dahlia- lajiketta, siinä syy miksi halusin tämän leimasimen tilata Saksasta.

Mid month posting, to remind you about  We Love Stamping October Challenge with beautiful " Autumn Colours". You still got time to make an entry with stamping in focus.

I had about 10 different Dahlia's, some of them multiple this summer at my garden. From the little ones to the big Cafe au Lait with about 20 cm circle gorgeous flowers. Today I have lifted the huge rhizomes from the ground for winter storage. That's the story why I wanted this "Dahlia" stamp set, this is the first trial with autumn colours.

DT Card Info:
Stamp set: Create A Smile ( Germany)
Mediums: Archival Ink green, Kuretake Zigs, background with stencil and DOxides
Die Cut sentiment: " Congrats" Korttipaja FI

Gift box and Booklet

Hei, terveiset Korttitalkoista! 23 ahkeraa askartelijaa kokoontui torstaista sunnuntaihin Eurajoella.
Kaunis merimaisema ja kirpeän kostea meri-ilma innoitti melkoiseen kasaan kortteja ym. askarteluja.
Tässä on pari päivää mennyt tavaroita purkaessa ja kortteja viimeistellessä, kuvatessa ja pakatessa.
Näitä uusia sitten tupsahtelee tulevaisuudessa...

Tässä syksyinen lahjasetti koristeltu Mintayn paperikolla.

Hi, greetings from the Craft Camp, I think it was the 10th time, and now in four days!
We had fun, made a lot of cards and creations, enjoyed the seaside views.

Kahden haasteen tuotokset, lahjapakkauksen tuunaus ja Bind it all kirjasen tekeminen ja koristelu,
molempiin käytin kauniita syksyisiä Mintayn papereita ja kuvia. Ostin pakettiin myös täytettä, Ellun tekemät kauniit vaaleanpunaiset villasukat tyttärelle. Askartelukauppaa ei tällä kertaa ollut, mutta kotoa on jo kilahtanut ainakin kolme tilausta, klik klik.

Here's two challenges I made, tuning a gift box and creating a bind it all- booklet, I used beautiful autumnal Mintay papers.

Between the challenges I coloured a lot of images, so I have material for the new cards, especially Christmas cards...
