Fairytale Tilda...

Goodmorning!
It´s almost impossible to choose any favourite
among Magnolias new stamps...They are all so
adorable, but this little darling is one of my
dearest right now!

♥ Fairytale Tilda ♥

The flowers comes from Wildorchid crafts.
The butterflies is Karen Marie clip from Panduro.





The papers: My Minds Eye "quite contrary".
Leavepunch: Marta Stewart.
I have tried my sewingmachine and attaced
the papers to the panels.

I have used distress ink refills:
Skin: tattered rose+vintage photo
Dress: bundled sage
Frog: peeled paint
Flowers, lace on dress: victorian velvet
Wings: broken china
Hair: Antique linnen+vintage photo

I have distresessed the background with
blending tool + broken china distress ink pad.
The paper edges are inked with
walnut stain distress ink pad.

Now I have to go back to my livingroom,
there is still some work to be done there!

Have a nice day!

About storage...

I always keep looking for cheep and functional
storage. Ansi asked me how I keep my

laces and ribbons.

I bought these doublesided boxes at Ö&B

for about 30 swedish kr. I have several of them.
I have my ribbons organised by colour.

The best thing about them is that they are so
easy to bring when I pack my things for a scrapmeeting!

More storage...
My Dt-friend Camilla has this lovely sweet little storage
for her distresses. This is how my looks, a box from Rusta
with 18 little rooms for my distress inks. I think you have
counted it out that it is not place for all colours...

That is the problem right now... I have some colours
in ink pads- so I just rub them to some plastic and pick
the colour from there- BUT now Mr Holtz made 12
new colours so I really have to have a new distress

storage!

I love flowers!!! I keep my Magnoliaflowers in a
special little bucket so I easily can find my Dt-stuff.
My own flowers I keep like this, in boxes from IKEA
In here I have my flowers from wildorchidcrafts.

Here I have my other paperflowers.
I use some small boxes from IKEA and some
big openes cans that I got from my husband.

Have YOU any smart storagetip?
please be free to share them with me
and I love to watch photos from different
craftingplaces... ;o)

Have a nice monday!
I have to go back to work now.

Not my ordinary job, I have eastervacation now.
No, I am repainting my livingroom.
The ceiling and the walls are going to have
some nice new painting before the weekend,

so I´d better get started now!

Creativa and my scraproom...

Goodmorning!

This morning I was sitting with my morningcoffee
in front of the computor doing my bloground.
Look here what I found in Monis wonderful blog,
That is one of my favouriteblogs btw!

I can see my recipebook, piratecard, little album
for CHA, and the princesscard at Creativa.

How fun to think about my cards travelling
the world around with Barbro and John from Magnolia.

I just wish I could come too and meet all the talented
dt-members...

Today I want to show you some photos from
my craftingspace. It´s a pretty small place-
it´s actually a wardrobe 2x2 meters.
But I love it and it´s great to have a door so
I can close to the "craftingmess" that appears in
there now and then...




I have my craftingtable to the right and a smaller
table to put my cuttlebug and laptop on to the left.

On the left side I have things I don´t need
to have right next to me. I also keep cards and gifts
from my craftingfriends here at a special place.

My craftingtable.
I don´t have any fancy bottles and bags- I want to
keep it functional and cheep and spend my money on
paper, flowers and stamps instead!

Is there something special you want to see/know
about my little craftingplace- just give me a question
and I will show you!

Have a nice sunday and thanks for
visiting me today!

The text was released last year.

Today I bought four new distress ink refills!
I choosed: victorian velvet, stormy sky,

bundled sage and pumice stone.
I can´t wait to try them, but first I have to
clean up my craftingtable in my closeth.
It´s relly a mess right now so I have forced
myself to NOT try any of my goodies (that I
bought at the event today) until there is some
order in my "creative room".

I also bought papers, stamps, pearls flowers
and other most necessary things for a lady
in my age (40+)!

Have a nice sunday and thanks for
