<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My sweet friend asked for black and white with just a hint of red for these big LOVE letters. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Ffp7r7bPC4I/UWXJDa3ah1I/AAAAAAAAB4I/76jGrxJyjn4/s1600/IMG_5587w.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Ffp7r7bPC4I/UWXJDa3ah1I/AAAAAAAAB4I/76jGrxJyjn4/s400/IMG_5587w.jpg" width="363" /></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Just the shadow of "heart" is red. The background paper is a very pale checkered grey/white with glitter dots. I added some stamped butterflies aswell as a few punched ones, and three different tapes. The two washi tapes (Love and plain black) goes all the way around to the back. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> For the O I picked a letterfilled paper that made it super easy to fit in the red accents. Super easy all together really, cause all I needed to add after that was a bouquet of paper roses and leaves.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The white on white stamping on top of the O adds that little extra dimension.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This paper has big swirly flowers and I just put several different tapes over it, all following the V-shape. I also covered a chipboard heart with metal tape and glued it on top of it all. The red is represented by a thin metal thread wired a few times around the letter.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hearts, hearts and hearts. In the background paper, stamped, embossed, as stickers and the red wooden ones. To add weight I put two strips of doily tape in the lower part (the black is what makes it "heavier"). </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Love bunting with a red glitter heart.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">A big hug to Veronica for making me make these. Love you girl!</span>3shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08230669373236365699noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6283457040524121363.post-46436363935234087802013-04-01T20:26:00.000+02:002013-04-01T21:15:07.468+02:00Read my lips<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Racer boy's sister needed a letter too. Since she's no longer a little girl, but a lovely young lady, I wanted for her a more sophisticated look. It turned out to be the most CAS letter I've ever made, with very few added decorations. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-K_Q4ukGIlxM/UVbo5f6gODI/AAAAAAAAB3o/fYOEd641ITY/s640/blogger-image-683886497.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-K_Q4ukGIlxM/UVbo5f6gODI/AAAAAAAAB3o/fYOEd641ITY/s640/blogger-image-683886497.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The background paper was chosen because of her interest in makeup. What better way to illustrate that than these pouting lips? I don't think it shows very well in this picture, but the big lips near the base got extra shine with "lipgloss" (aka stickles). Other than that, I just added one or two stamped and embossed swirls and the row of hearts at the base, for a romantic touch. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I really like butterflies on my projects, and this delicate pink one feels just at home here. Combined with the much more "raw" metal birthdate plate it all corresponds very well with the background.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-gUVw5a98bYk/UVbpAiuYSMI/AAAAAAAAB34/43xosz4bOM0/s640/blogger-image-1248349517.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-gUVw5a98bYk/UVbpAiuYSMI/AAAAAAAAB34/43xosz4bOM0/s640/blogger-image-1248349517.jpg" width="282" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Oops. This was a bright one...hm. Well, you might be able to see the white on white stamping anyway. Actually I used a Silver pearl embossing powder here instead of plain white. It turned out softer, with a little shimmer. I added a swirl and some bling because....ja, just because. We all deserve some bling.</span><br />
<br />

This little guy loves anything with an engine, and quite a few things without one. A paper filled with cars seemed fitting. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I inked the edges green on this multicolored paper, and followed it up with green bubbles/circles and an arrow. The blue is matched up with bubbles and the tags, and so on.... His mother wanted happy colors and not just "standard" boyish theme with blue tones. I really like the outcome. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I had this skyscraper stamp in my drawer that I colored in grey shades....it made the blue background look like sky (with flying cars I guess... :)) and added some weight to the base.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've been wanting to try the Staz-on ink pad on glass, and when I found these yellow bottles/vases at IKEA (on sale!!), the time was right. For 10 kronor I certainly can afford to fail. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I think it turned out nice though. The letters spruced up the plain vases and made them noticeable. :) Would have been even better with some traditional swedish Easter twigs in them, as I imagined it. But with all the snow we got today, there's no way I'm gonna find that tonight. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Mr & mrs Goose will cover for the twigs on this photo... </span><br />

I found this altered box in my 'might do something with this later'-pile and just added the scentence. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Inside, I wanted to put this greeting "card", made for my mother-in-law on her 75th birthday.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I used scrap papers from the stash with an adorable design, but sadly have nooo idea what brand it is. I'm sure some of you know though. :) The front with the picket fence hardly needed any embellishment. I just added the dragonfly, the scentence and a few mini flowers, to create a 3D effect.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A closeup on the flowers.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here's also a heart charm and what I believe to be a seashell pendant in a rich copper tone. As you might see, I heat embossed the greeting also in copper, to match.</span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The punchinella is copper too, that's why it's there. No other reason. :)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Page 2 with lots and lots of hearts stamped all over. The stamped crown is heat embossed in....ja, you guessed it; copper. To make the words I put paper strips in my old Dymo and punched away. Super neat!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Chipboard numbers, but really a closeup of the cute cute paper. Swirls and roses, and the color combination...yum!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On the back, it's brown/creme with garden plans...or something. Swirls too. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">And I added yet another scentence.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Last, but not least. The butterfly was already there, so I just added the "Kramar" and the two stamps at the very bottom. Sometimes, less really is more.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is what it looked like when finished. I wanted to keep the backs fairly simple, but not totally naked. For the very last one I added two grass stamps in blue, and a doublestamped "Enjoy".</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">NOT so great that I decided this a bit late.... However, a quick raid to the thrift shop and a browse on the internet later I luckily had all the parts needed AND a drilling-willing husband (noo, I did not find him online :P), so I made it in time for christmas. <em>Just</em> in time I might add.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I didn't have time, however, to take pictures. Ja okey, I forgot. There were more important things to focus on right then and there. :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I've later corrected my mistake, so out of the four cake stands I've managed to photograph three. Tadaa!</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">The one I kept for myself. Picture's from christmas eve and we've filled it with homemade candy. Yummy! You can't see it here of course, but it's green<em>-ish</em> and top and bottom tiers have similar <strike>empire? baroque?</strike> OLD depictions that ties it together nicely. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The third one I gave to my mother. It has brighter flowers and gold lining, although the top bowl is more of a bold border.</span></div>

A green/blue -ish toned S with purple enhancers on the pale blue background. On the left hand side a whole bunch of stamped hearts around the little critter on it's way up. A symbol of the love surrounding Sofia on her way up though childhood/life. (The stamped arrow says 'Memories this way' btw) Atleast that's what went on in my head while making it. :) </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Instead of my usual white on white stamping I went with color for these girls. It's pretty nice too, don't you think? :)</span></div>

The first one, made for a sweet princessy little girl is all about pink and cuddly and cute...</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-3YuBALNqou0/UOwb-hEroFI/AAAAAAAABrM/ciVuSYmqgLs/s640/blogger-image--2039536090.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-3YuBALNqou0/UOwb-hEroFI/AAAAAAAABrM/ciVuSYmqgLs/s640/blogger-image--2039536090.jpg" width="564" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Pink - of course - background paper with flock flowers. On top of that a lace border in the bottom, a stamped row of hearts and a yummy cupcake bow...</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigCGzW5Fn1gNJFdVl2jH2vw9APtUaMspZpn9rOAU1CnrD3UjFIihOyDKhGCwKCk9MrJOd0s_DrYZq5dCvsvZkcBdbeaCXH-V8_cGfahD83-MlUpALCvKYfeLukiBJ4zkIrxJbj3uKRyikJ/s640/blogger-image-236440494.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigCGzW5Fn1gNJFdVl2jH2vw9APtUaMspZpn9rOAU1CnrD3UjFIihOyDKhGCwKCk9MrJOd0s_DrYZq5dCvsvZkcBdbeaCXH-V8_cGfahD83-MlUpALCvKYfeLukiBJ4zkIrxJbj3uKRyikJ/s640/blogger-image-236440494.jpg" width="328" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The centerpiece cupcake stack is stamped one by one directly onto the background and then colored and blinged (my personal fave is the cherry on top!). Kitty is stamped on a different paper, trimmed and adhered. Notice the itty bitty butterfly too.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Girly girl flowers with gemstone. The "pistils" are actually snowflake brads - on spring break I like to think. ;) </span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span> </div>

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I found these tiny boxes in my stash. With a stamp, a few punched out snowflakes and a christmasy tape, they turned out super cute. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Added a gem too. There's always room for bling. :)</span><br />
<br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So, if you guessed bracelets, you were right! :) Not too hard to guess was it?</span></div>

Here are the correct pictures :) Maybe a sign that I have too many bracelets, since I can't keep track of them even in photos. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Anyhow. All of these are made in the same way, with double cord and pearls threaded in between. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IK1zjlE0ITg/UMEY4UwOoFI/AAAAAAAABow/1UZu0-GNOnk/s1600/bild4.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IK1zjlE0ITg/UMEY4UwOoFI/AAAAAAAABow/1UZu0-GNOnk/s640/bild4.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">First, two blue toned summerish bracelets. I even enhanced the beach feeling by using a nautical button and leaving the ends a bit longer on the top one.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-UmrlmzONQXU/UMEY8L-iQOI/AAAAAAAABo4/dGNYC2M17dA/s1600/bild5.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-UmrlmzONQXU/UMEY8L-iQOI/AAAAAAAABo4/dGNYC2M17dA/s400/bild5.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Same bracelets, only the back...hm. Front side? Top? Ah. The <em>other</em> side.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6ChKkvAcK74/UMEZETYIEUI/AAAAAAAABpA/I5x3dAAUx-M/s1600/bild8.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="474" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6ChKkvAcK74/UMEZETYIEUI/AAAAAAAABpA/I5x3dAAUx-M/s640/bild8.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is it! The origin of my obsession and the reason why I fill post after post with bracelets. :) I made this a little while ago during craft night at church. I'd read something about making bracelets like these somewhere online, and thought I'd have a go at it. I couldn't remember exactly how to do so I just tried a few ideas and went with what looked most right.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I had so much fun that night though, chatting along with my friends, that I accidently made it too big for me. Oops! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Luckily it fitted hubby like a glove, and I <em>had to</em> make some more that would fit me. :) So this is why. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="color: #666666;">(and btw, I had made a few itty-bitty mistakes with it so I re-threaded it later)</span> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This one is all mine! A double wrapped model in soft multicolor. I like the mixture with clear/opaque/matt/shiny beads in an irregular pattern.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is turning into an obsession! I soon turn every twine I see into bracelets</span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">...and I see twine everywhere. Few days ago my eyes landed upon this pack of christmas twine, and my brain immediatley thought of bracelets. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Worked out pretty well don't you think? :) It's the top bracelet that used to be christmas twine, the other two just tagged along for the ride. Btw, the red hearts on the lower one comes from a garland of multicolored hearts and gold beads that I found at another christmas display, years ago. VERY useful, that one. </span>3shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08230669373236365699noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6283457040524121363.post-38148463112215811752012-11-10T06:26:00.001+01:002012-11-10T06:26:24.598+01:00@ workJust a snapshot from my "dayjob", feeling christmasy. :)<div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO1fOjE2cCmQa9RmI4AY2EP4N0RmFsnL-NLVVGH2njIffcUm1EnMXRnxNcipuWCbfFpVIbaIMsCmL8ApwPjb_uzWNTxDd5N0ZAkbDwayfyrD0f0SVYR0wWaN3L_Z9_0r2JaFsWSHbcIckt/s640/blogger-image--673536994.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO1fOjE2cCmQa9RmI4AY2EP4N0RmFsnL-NLVVGH2njIffcUm1EnMXRnxNcipuWCbfFpVIbaIMsCmL8ApwPjb_uzWNTxDd5N0ZAkbDwayfyrD0f0SVYR0wWaN3L_Z9_0r2JaFsWSHbcIckt/s640/blogger-image--673536994.jpg" /></a></div>3shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08230669373236365699noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6283457040524121363.post-6557181973540625702012-11-03T14:50:00.000+01:002013-02-10T13:43:10.933+01:00Signs of love<div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There are so many things to try out there! One of the things would be this, Aged wood signs. A LOT of work, but with truly rewarding result, don't you think? Who would guess these plank pieces started out looking brand new?? Not me. :)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Just a quick note today to share with you my latest addictive findings.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm totally hooked!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In just a few minutes <em>...hm, atleast it FEELS like minutes, but I suddenly realised I'd been making bracelets into the dead of night...</em> Naja, I'm sticking to it! In <em><strong>a very short time</strong></em> you can make a whole bunch of these übercute knotted darlings.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Originally, this was a DIY-kit for four bracelets from Panduro. Anyone who knows me would say it's soo typically me to not go by the book, so of course I've made a few minor changes. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I found some pearls and another centerpiece for the top bracelet in my box of treasures and put together a pattern of my own. Being a novice at jewelrymaking, I followed the knotting instructions to a T though. Quick, easy and fun fun FUN. And I still have stuff left from the kit to make atleast one more, yay!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I also made these. Actually, I started making the Green Goblin at craft night at church but didn't have time to finish it then. Now I've re-knotted it and added some silver pearls and the skull, leftovers from the Panduro-kit.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

I wanted this to look a little bit vintage in style and therefore added a whole bunch of stamps on top of the pink background paper. By using clear ink and heat embossing with Vintage powder it became less bubblegum and more shabby, wich I really like. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The plaid ribbon picks up the brown color from the stamps, and so does the metal pearls, the brad and the frame. </span><br />

Chilly winds from up north, and I'm starting to feel christmasy. :) Early maybe, but we're planning for christmas at work so my head's filled with ideas for snowflakes on the walls and such. At home it's still fall though. The boys asked for jack o'lanterns today...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">...and speaking of lanterns, there are still no light chain lanterns in sight in my craft room, but I do have a few new wood signs to show - when I come around to taking photos that is.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Ok, so meanwhile, here's a new letter.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Bright, bold colors and a whole bunch of hearts and crowns. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The deer from The Greeting Farm is simply SO sweet, perfect for baby projects. I've used it before, and am sure to do so again. This time I let it blend in with the background and just used a hint of white on the eye and chest.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Not really complete without some white on white stamping. There's also the baby's name along the side, but I didn't bother about a photo for that. I've done it about a million times by now. :)</span><br />

I know I've been super slow in updating my blog lately...or actually, I've been slow for a long time. It's not that I don't do things anymore, it's just that I often find myself doing things that aren't really scrapbooking related. I guess you've seen that here too, right? It's sugar scrubs and fabric book shelves and felted soaps and clay projects...hm no, I haven't showed that one here - yet. :) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Last night started out<em> sooo</em> good, with plans for making paper cups into the cutest lanterns for a light chain.....whooa! I dunno what happened, but I found myself painting my nails instead. Not just painted either, but ombre painting.... That takes like <strong>forever</strong>. I learned that yesterday. Haven't decided if I like it yet. :P</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Now, enough about me. Onto this fun project instead, a custom made P from this summer. The title "a present P" is a play with words btw, the swedish word for gift is <em>present</em>. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was asked to follow the color scheme from <a href="http://artby3s.blogspot.se/2011/06/kim-as-you-are.html">Kim as you are</a>, so I did. I believe this one turned out a bit darker though. At first I thought I was in way over my head with the blurry design paper I picked. But then, after adding layers and layers of even more pattern, it worked out quite well.</span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here's a bit of the multi layered background, and some more stuff on top. I first used a wire netting stencil with white acrylics and then stamped and embossed swirls. The polka dot organza ribbon had a rich red tone that I like, so that color is repeated in the butterflies.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I had this row of houses, some kind of zinc sign that I got one day thinking I'd might use it as a stencil or something. As it turned out, the metal was too thick to work the way I wanted. So I simply traced the houses onto pearly white cardstock, cut it out, inked the edges and filled in the lines with a silver pen.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I made the sky/background from a dp with blue newspaper print, because <i style="color: #45818e;">the news is out, all over town. </i>Hm. Anyway. I inked the edges, added some birds and clouds, and a hot air balloon to bring some life into it.<i style="color: #45818e;"> </i> </span><br />

To fit in all the little things that makes it personal for just that person, without making the result cluttered is a challenge. A fun one!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For this A the key elements were hearts, flowers, wine and travel. Ja okey, Elvis and chili too but I decided it would be too many things.... also, I didn't have anything like that in my stash. ;)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Silver ribbon and wine barrel charm. I snitched the barrel from a "mark your glass to remember wich is yours"-set that I never ever use. Since I'm the only one drinking wine in my home, I can usually remember anyway. ;) The ribbon is recycled from a box of christmas ornaments.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The travel-theme was just right, and I think this is actually the first time I've used the complete stamp. I embellished it a little by adding silver embossing and some distress stickles.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">There's no photo of it, but I - of course - stamped and embossed the name in white along the side.</span><br />
