Magic Forest

Hello!

I have an Autumn Mini-Chocolate Box with a Mushroom Theme.

I think of Mushrooms as the Norwegian Trolls of the forest. There are good ones, and there are bad ones. My ancestors used mushrooms as hallucinogens. One can only imagine the magical super powers.

I will participate in the Mushroom Challenge at the VSC Blog.

I have die cut a brown background that I have also heat embossed with just dabs of gold. 

I have also die cut some brown LadyBug Spikelets (0029). 

And did you know that this “slice from the tree” is called a “tree cookie”? And that is my chip element for the Gold Ingot Challenge at the LadyBugBlog, where I will add my Chocolate Box. I have also added gold beads.

For the 3/9Challenge at the Yar-Sk Blog, I have chosen the diagonal line having used lace, an inscription, and spray/splash/splatter of white paint.

Thank you so much for visiting!

Welcome Baby Girl!

Hello!

I'm out of Summer Hybernation with a money envelope for a Baby Girl. I have used the So Loved Collection from ScrapMir.

Everyone is familiar with this embossing powder; white with chunks of gold, and either blue or pink powder. I wanted that, but with some bright pink to bring out the pink in the paper. 

 This lovely mix of baby chip is from ScrapBox.

The powders don’t actually mix together, which was a good surprise.

I will add my card to the ScrapClubEk Chip Challenge.

I made my own flower with a circle of pink/white gingham fabric. It’s finished with a pink button in the center. 

I have a pink mini-crocheted ring, a pink fabric flower from SweetScrap Shop strung with tulle, some lace from Blagolis, cross-stitch floss (to hang the charm/pearl/crystals) ribbon, and décor leaves from AllmaCraft. 

I will join the Tactile/Textile Challenge at the VSKBlog.

I also have a fabric Butterfly button.

Along with the Flowers and Lace, they make the Left Vertical line of the Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge at Скрап-просторы.

The patterned paper flower is made with AgiArt die Agi1018, and I will add my card to their October Gallery.

I just love the crown for the Little Princess!

I put a card inside to include a message. 

Thank you so much for visiting!

The Fifth Element - WATER

HELLO

I’m back for Stage 2 of The Fifth Element Challenge at the Fantasy Blog – WATER.

 I'm sure we all have great family vacation memories that we will never again take for granted given the current quarantine situation. I made a card hoping that someone will get it as a great reminder of those sweet memories on the shore.

I used THIS lovely frame die, and I engineered my own Shaker.

FD-540

These are the other dies I used:

FD-476

FD-457

FD-338

FD-350

This is also my second time using a MoNa Design Collection (Paradise Island) for the Choice of the Month Challenge at the VSK Blog.

Again, I have used a sheet of the background paper for the base of the card.

And I love the cute die cuts that have “washed ashore”.

The Choice of the Month Challenge is open until May 6. Please check it out!

And, please head over to the Fantasy Blog to see the inspiration for this Second Stage.

And check out THIS Jewelry Box that I made previously with this collection.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs,

Nora

The Fifth Element - EARTH

Greetings!

As Spring rolls around, it’s time to get the garden gloves on. The roses and flower beds in the front, and some herbs, veggies, and berries in the back. Our Mother Earth has always provided the soil and sun and the harvest has always been bountiful.

This is my entry for the Fifth Element Challenge at the Fantasy Blog.

I have used the following dies:

FD-540

FD-457

FD-476

FD-338

FD-350

And this chip:

FCH-195

I knew right away that I would use this Vintage RecipesCollection from MoNa Design. It also happens to be the Choice of the Month at the VSK Blog, and I will also add my card THERE.

You have until May 6 to join the Choice of the Month.

Take care, Everyone!

Hugs,

Nora
