Creating with Lace

During the preparations for
the Art & Craft Show
I suddenly realized I had been drawn to the lace again

I love creating with paper
and lace

This time it turned out to be most lace

and so I wanted to show you
what I have been up to since last time

this is the first time I will be participating in this show
I actually had decided not to do any shows this year in Denmark

but just couldn´t resist when the organiser asked me

to be there with my bears.

Not a lot of people collect bears in Denmark though

so I´m going to bring some of my other creations too

Wishing you all

a lovely creative day

As you probably have guessed I have been working

really hard on the Christmas Collection.

And I finally managed to get the photos taken too.

So - here´s what I have been working on....

paper crackers

old paper, fabric, lace, black string and buttons

old cloth pins and wooden spools

decorated with lace and sweet french *NOEL* ribbon

tiny cones

with a little touch of silver glitter



decorated bottles

with old curtain clips

and sweet vintage children

some lace and old paper too

more vintage children

scalloped edges

added to a string

to become this vintage inspired Christmas Garland.

She came in here to tell me she didn´t had any arms and legs

My New Cabinet Card Box

For a long time I have had my old cabinet cards stored in an old

ciger box on my work table.

~

I have been wanted to decorate it for some time now, so when

I signed up for the Artist Class I decided

to try Lori´s tutorial for her beautiful box.

this is my edition of the box.

Not at all as beautiful as Loris´s

but I´m kind of satisfied with it anyway

I have been working with cream and black lately for the Christmas Collection

and wanted the box to go with the same theme

so I added black string to the edges




and an old key hole on the front
to match the cabinet cards



and some lace too ofcourse :D

Now it´s on my new shelf

only waiting for more creations to come.

What do you think.

Have a beautiful sunday

Lollishops Design Challenge II

Remember I told you last time what a challenge it had been for me

to create something from the first Lollishops Kit?

would you believe me if I told you this was even more challeging

I didn´t manage to use everything from the kit this time

but that´s okay too

it ended up with 2 sweet christmas creations


this pretty little christmas box



and a sweet altered christmas bingo card decoration.
What do you think?


Make sure to pop over here
to see all of the creations from the Design team.


Wishing all of you
a lovely sunday.
