Christmas advent event - day 6 (+ my candy winner)

Good morning! One of the three good men (yes, we have 3, Santa and 2 others; not bad, right? :P - not everybody does all 3 though) was already visiting kids during the night and left presents to those that were good. I looked everywhere, but I didn't find anything for me (not that I'm a kid, but doesn't matter). I was confused, because I was a really good girl this year. Really, I was, I swear. So I was thinking and thinking why I was left out and then I remembered I didn't write Saint Nicholas any letter. Oooops ... I will make sure this doesn't happen with Santa. ;)

Do you only celebrate Santa where you live or you also have any other good men that are giving gifts to the kids?

December 6 is not only Saint Nicholas day, but it's also the 6th day of our Christmas advent event at Crafty ribbons pure inspiration blog. So if you didn't get any gifties from Saint Nicholas, don't be sad. We are giving you a chance to win a yummy prize from our today's sponsor - A day for daisies. They are offering a $12 voucher to spend in their store to the lucky winner. Just leave your info with Mr. Linky at CRPI blog to be in the draw for the prize. :)

I made a card using one of the beautiful images from the ADFD. Here it is ...

Isn't this image beautiful? I love it! I colored it with Promarkers and Faber Castell pencils. I made the pearls with Viva decor pearl pen. Around the image I stamped with Viva decor stamps. I know it's not possible to see this on the picure (sorry, I forgot to take a side picture), but the image is actually raised on the pop dots. All the design papers I used are from Provo Crafts. The flower is made with Marianne designs die cuts which I got from my friend. The butterfly is Spellbinders die and so is that "doily" (or whatever you want to call it) that you can see on the right side behind the image. Over the butterfly I stamped with Stampabilities Fading text background stamp. The ribbons I used are from Crafty ribbons. You canfind the brown one (under the blue dotty one) here and the blue dotty one is here.

I would like to enter this card to the following challenges:
Sketch and stash: (great) Sketch
Penny's paper-crafty challenge blog: Anything goes

Today also a new challenge started at Crafty ribbons challenge blog. This time we want you to use a tag on your card. Doesn't matter how big or how small it is, as long as we can see a tag somewhere in your card, you're in. :)

And wait, this is still not everything ... I have one more thing to do; I need to announce the winner of my candy. I used random.org to do this and the lucky winner is ...

Christmas advent event - day 5

Good morning! When I woke up today all I see was snow. It was snowing the whole day yesterday and it looks like also during the night. It's really nice to see all the white trees etc. We're supposed to get even more snow over the weekend. Fun, fun, fun! :) I hope we'll have snow for Christmas as well.

Speaking about Christmas ... In case youdidn't know, we are having a Christmas advent event at Crafty ribbons pure inspiration blog; it's already the 5th day today. Each day we have adifferent sponsor who is offering a wonderful prize to the lucky winner. And today our sponsor is Sassy Cheryl's digis.

Imade a project for today. I love post-it papers, because I am so forgetful that Ineed to write everything down, otherwise I'm sure I will forget it. I don't have a board to pin pieces of paper on, so the wall above my table is usually covered with all those yellow pots-it papers (which are otherwise kept somewhere in the top drawer of my table). So, today I decided to do something about it and I created this board (or whatever you want to call it).

I did a lot of recycling on this project. First I used the cardstock that was a part of my paper cutter's box and wrapped it in this orange paper, which is also recycled (I recently received a rose and it was wrapped in this paper and sice I liked it, I saved it :)). Then I did some stamping over the paper with Viva decor Floral embellishment stamps and with Faded text background stamp from Stampabilities. Using the Spellbinders' die, I cut the border, which I glued to the bottom of my "board". I made the flowers myself. The brown flowers were made with gorgeous satin ribbon from Crafty ribbons and for the big flower I also used a piece of long forgotten fabric, that I once found in my mum's closet and a piece ofgold mesh, which also came as a decorative piece of one gift quite some time ago. In the center of my flowers I glued pale yellow store-bought roses. I was given the swirl die cuts by my friend. They were originally white, but I inked them just a little bit with brown ink pad and stamped over them with Stampabilities faded text background stamp. On the left side you can see my post-it papers. Now I just need to hang this onthe wall above my table. :)

I hope you like my today's project and that you'll also hop to CRPI blog to see what my teamies made. :)

I wish you all a wonderful day. Hugs! xx

Christmas advent event - day 4

It's day 4 of our Christmas advent event at Crafty ribbons inspiration blog. My teamies again shared lots of great ideas on the blog, so why don't you hop over there and have a look? And while you are there why don't you leave your info with Mr. Linky for the chance to win 3 digi sets from The cutting cafe, which is our today's sponsor?

I made a snowman card for today. It's a pretty simple one, but I like this image and I wanted this cute snowman to be in the center of attention. :)

The image is from Heather Ellis. I colored it with Promarkers and Faber Castell pencils and on the left side of the snowman I also added some diamond Stickles. The papers are from my stash - I just used some leftover pieces. Gems and doily are from my stash as well. I used my craft punch for the smallsnowflakes and the Marianne design die for the big snowflake. I embossed the snowflakes with Cuttlebug swiss dots EF and then inked the raised dots with red ink pad. The ribbon is from Crafty ribbons and you can find it here.

Have a great day and see your again tomorrow. :)
Hugs! xx

Christmas advent event - day 3

Good morning! Iwoke up in a white morning today. It's been snowing the whole day yesterday, but it was a wet snow, so it didn't stick to the ground. But it looks like it was snowing at night too, because now the roofs and grass are green. There isn't a whole lot of snow, but even a little bit helps you get in the "December mood". Don't you think so?

It's the third dayof our Christmas advent event at CRPI blog and one again we have a wonderful sponsor. Our today's sponsor is Quixotic paperie and they are offering the lucky winner a £10 voucher to spend in their store. They have lots of yummy things in their store so it's definitely worth checking out. :)

I made a vintage Christmas card for this day.

I just used scraps of papers from my stash. The light blue paper on the left side (under the ribbon) is embossed with TH snowflakes embossing folder. The image is from Recollections. Again I used one of my favourite satin ribbons from Crafty ribbons (you can find it here). The "doily" behind the main image is a die cut that I got from a friend of mine. I stamped over it with several different snowflake stamps. The Christmas trees are Sizzix dies and the big snowflake is Marianne designs die.I embossed the Christmas trees and the snowflake with Cuttlebug swiss dots embossing folder and then inked the raised dots with my inkpad. The smallsnowflakes are made with my craft punch.

I would like to enter mycard to the following challenges:

Christmas advent event - day 2

Brrrr, it's freezing outside. I'm glad I don't have to go anywhere and can just stay inside, where it's nice and warm. It's been snowing here the whole day, but the snow melts as soon as it reaches the ground. But the hill above our house is already white. So I guess it won't be long til we get some "real" snow too.

Today is the second day of our Christmas advent event on CRPI blog. If you hop over to CRPI blog you'll see lots of fabby things my teamies made and while you are there don't forget to also leave your ionfor with Mr. Linky for the chance to win a wonderful prize from our today's sponsor. Curious who this is? Ok, I'll tell you (but make sure you tell Santa I am a nice girl if he asks you, ok? ;)) Our today's sponsor is Joanna Sheen and she's giving this yummy prize to the lucky winner ...

I made a card for today. It's a simple one, but I hope you like it anyway.

I used this lovely star paper from Folia. And the other papers are just sparkly brown and gold/champagne cardstocks. I ambossed the piece of of cardsctock under the ribbon with Cuttlebug swiss dots embossing folder. The poinsettia is Marianne design die. The gem is from my stash and the ribbon is from Crafty ribbons.

Christmas advent event - day 1

Hello! Wow, it's December already. Before you know it it'll be Christmas. Have you bought the presents yet? I have some, but not many. I am planning on making some myself and I hope I will manage to do it.

Today is the fidst day of our Christmas advent event. If you don't know what I'm talking about, hop over to CRPI blog; there you will find all the info. There you can see lots of fabby projects from my teamies and each day we will also have a different sponsor who will offer a wonderful prize for the lucky winner. Yes, that's right, there are over 20 prizes to be won. Wow, right? I hope you'll come and join the fun. :)

The sponsor of the first day is no other than Crafty ribbons and they are offering the lucky winner this fantastic prize ...

Just imagine all the gorgeous ribbons you could buy with that. ;)

For the first day I created something I've been wanting to try for a while ... Earrings made of pearls and ribbon. I'm quite happy with how they turned out and I'm planning to make a necklace too. I've seen one I really liked on etsy and I want to give it a try one day.

But as I said, today I will show you the earrings I made ...

They are super easy and super fast to make. I used some white beads from my stash and this fabby ribbon from Crafty ribbons. I've been using this ribbon A LOT lately. I absolutely love the colour.
