You are beautiful inside and out

🦋  Hello peeps  🦋

Today I want to show an old book that I recycled with bookfolding techniques.

Pattern made by my Swedish friend:

    Annelie Söderwall

            

Long time since I last used this technique,  so I was wondering if I could handle it this time  ....But all in all I'm satisfied with the result. 

Thanks for stopping by,  enjoy the summer ❤️

See ya

Ally's Angels DT-Challenge #71

Time for another great challenge over at Ally's Angels   

Our theme is always

"Anything  Goes"

 

This is my project for this month, a confirmation card. 

It was an order I got from a friend of mine.

That's why I have blinded some of the text, sorry...

 

       The client wanted the recipient's interests to appear on the card

I made a belly-belt to close the card

 

 

The girl's interests are music, she plays the clarinet...
She is also active and practices judo!

And - like most young people, she is very busy with her mobile phone.  

 

Thank you for stopping by, and have a creative week. Hope you will join us this month. Remember to pop over to Ally's Angels to be inspired by our creative design team. 

 

Thanks for stopping by.

Wish your summer will be filled with joy and happiness!

Ally's Angels DT-Challenge #67 Mother's Day 2023

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO THE BEST MOM IN THE WORLD!!!

Mother's Day cards were extra cute when we were little. Construction paper, stamps, and smudged spirals of crayon were treasured artifacts proclaiming our love for the "best mom ever." Most of the grown ups don't do this any longer... I had some years that I just called my mom, or bougth her a bouquet of flowers with no card at all.

In the beginning of the 2000 century I started my scrapbooking hobby, and from then I've made my mom a special card every year on her Mother's Day. I also use to give her a little gift and a bouquet of flowers. 

Here in Norway we selebrate Mother's Day every second sunday in February.              So on sunday I will bring her this card.    

 

It's the best way to say "I love you, mom!" 

Pair it with flowers for a special day your super mom will never forget. 

 

Hugs
