Pen Holder - Whiff of Joy

Hello and good morning everyone, today it is my turn to show you some inspiration on the Whiff of Joy World of Ideas Blog.

Few days ago we had to move from one building to another at the company where I am working. At the new place we have new white furnitures, and I had an old ugly brown plastic pen holder from my old desk which I really didn't like to move.

First I wanted to go and buy a white or transparent one for my new place, but then thought why not creating something by myself. Thought, done...

When you want to see and read all the details how I made this holder just hop over to the Whiff of Joy World of Ideas Blog.

Have a wonderful day now! They forecasted wintery temperatures for tomorrow and even some snow... luckily I was able to get my tires changed on my car yesterday.

Hugs, Karina

Crafts & Me Challenge # 107 - Fantasy Creatures

Hello everyone, oh my am I late with my posts for today... had some quite busy days behind me with moving my working place from one building to another. Quite much to do and feeling very tired and kind of absent minding when i got back home in the evenings. Still have to get more comfort with this new surrounding and situation.

But now it is time to announce our new challenge over at Crafts and Me Challenges. I am the host this week and I have chosen one of my favourite theme which is

FANTASY CREATURES

I used Blue Topaz, one of the recent new released image from Sara Burrier.

I coloured this beautiful image with Copics.

For my card I used the Sketch from The Sketchy Challenges, and of cours I also want to join their challenge with my card. And I used papers from Basic Grey from the Porcelain serie, and so I want to join the Basic Grey Challenge 'Sparkle' as well.

Have a wonderful week and hope to see you joining our new challenge.

DT Bunny Zoe's Crafts - Sent with Love

Hello everyone, today I want to show you another Christmas inspiration. This time I used a sweet image from Mulberry Wood called 'Sent with Love'. I just love those images from Mulberry Wood, they are all so cute, and you can get them for a very nice price. And what is so great too... with each image you get some matching sentiments as well. How great is this??

I coloured the image with Copics. The papers I used for the background are from Kaiserkraft 'Mint Twist'.

I die cutted the sentiments with the Whimsy ticket die. The flowers I added are from Marianne D Mixed Paper Flowers - Christmas. I love the size of them, they give a great eye catcher on every creative project. I added some buttons from the Fiesta Mix to my card, and used some Sew Easy Red Floss on one of the buttons.

For my card I used the Sketch from Christmas Challenges and want to join their challenge with my card. Other challenges I want to join are:

All the items I used are available at Bunny Zoe's Crafts.
