You and Me babe

With Valentine's Day coming up, Crafter's Companion had a little competition, make a Valentine's Day themed card with Crafter's Companions products and be in to win £25 voucher to spend at their website. And with my order of all the stamps in the Strawberry Kisses Range landing on my doorstep I knew that I just had to make a card with those. The patterned paper and the sentiment also comes from the same range. This is my first try of making an easel card, it was fun, hope you like it.

I made a video of all my January craft shopping showing off all the other things I got at Crafter's Companion but also what I bought at my stop at Pyssloteket. Hope you'll enjoy that too.

While waiting for my delivery of all the stamps from the strawberry kisses range, I thought I make use of my old stamps.

I used the Love You stamp from the S.w.a.l.k Winter Cheer Collection, it was colored with Spectrum Noirs and the papers comes from the matching cd-rom. The flower is also from the matching cd-rom and if you want to know how I made it, you can watch my video tutorial down below. I'm entering this in Crafter's Companions Monthly Challange #20 Love is in the air.

100 creations before next shopping spree, fail!




And now to a confession, the 100 projects until shopping, failed. I was able to hold off for two months, 30 projects, but then I got an offer that I just couldn't turn down. So right now I'm waiting for an order from Crafter's Companion, they had a great deal on all the strawberry kisses stamps + the companion CD. So hopefully they arrive in my mail no later then Friday. Ofcourse I couldn't just buy that, but what I got I will present when I get it in my mail.

But I have learned some from this not buying, that you can come a long way with what you got in your cupboards.

And I have been sketching alot, but my sketches doesn't make it here, you can find them at my tumblr, thoughtsfromaconfusedbrain.tumblr.com.

28-30: Hexapuffs

The knitting of hexapuffs is going slowly but at last I found some time to be knitting, and these three is the latest. I promised a giveaway for when the bowl was filled, and the giveaway is still on, it just took a little bit longer to fill it than I expected. But soon, soon.

Sorry for not updating in a while, I have been crafting, I just haven't had time to sit down and tell you all about it. So I'm going to try to update a little more often.

We're going to start with my 4 christmas ornaments I did a few weeks before christmas.

These are stitched from a pattern from Cross Stitch Crazy and then mounted on felt pieces that then are stuffed. I did a video tutorial on how I made them, you can find it on my youtube page, or down below.
