Ally's Angels DT-Challenge #89 X-Mas Tag

Hello crafters!

Hope you all had a good weekend.  I have been busy tidying this weekend and I do feel better after a good clear out.  Still alot of sorting to do in my craft room and de-cluttering needed but I am certainly on the way.

Mid-December has arrived so swiftly! The year's final month is here. Have you lit your Christmas tree? We have not yet. Traditionally, we decorate our tree on the 23rd. However, I'm hoping we'll get to it a bit earlier this year.

Today I have a x-mas tag for you. 

                                       We have reached the final challenge of 2024 

at Ally's Angels

The theme is as always

anything goes

Wishing everyone a

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Thank you for visiting my blog.

Ally's Angels DT-Challenge #39 "Trick orTreat!"

HAPPY  HALLOWEEN CARD

 Hello and welcome to my blog,
Hope you all, and your loved ones are well in these crazy times. Stay safe everyone.

A new challenge starts today at Ally's Angels and the theme is anything goes. For my design team project this time I have made a happy halloween card with spiders, spiderwebs, bat and a pumpkin.

  I don’t know about you, but I do not like spiders.  I have run across a few huge ones in my house over the years and it isn’t pleasant to say the least.  They say you shouldn’t kill spiders because they eat other insect pests in the house but I always have a fear of them crawling on me when I’m asleep at night.  Yuck.  So a Halloween card with spiders is something I can relate to as being very spooky.  LOL!

 

For the base I've used black cardstock. I've used orange bazzil for the next layer, cause I think it screams Halloween.

For the top layer I've used white water paper and Oxide ink and ordinary Distress ink. Colors I've used is Spiced marmalade, Black soot, and Walnut stain. Other media as 3D Matte Gel is used in the corners and a bit on the edges.

All dies comes from Tattered Lace, and the background stamp comes from        Studio Lights, Basic. Stampsl165.

 

 That's all for now.

Thank you for stopping by today. 

Stay healthy and take good care of yourself and others.

Hugs, Mariann

Ally's Angels DT-Challenge #36 "Fishball-box turn into a A Coffee Fund Money Box"

Hello dear followers,

I hope you have had a good extended summer so far!
I sure hope that you had a wonderful week, 
and have lots of fun things planned for the upcoming weekend!

We have a new challenge beginning this evening at Ally's Angels. 

The theme as always is ...... 
Anything Goes

Here is what I came up with...  

A Coffee Fund Money Box

I made this for my husbands truck garage,

he get visitors several times a day... and of course 

they drink a LOT of coffee

I've uI've used a fishball box.  As you see, I didn't open it the way it's ment to. 

I opened it in the bottom. Then I made a new bottom of thick paper and glued

                it on before I tied a string  a couple of turns around and ended it with a loop.t with a loop.

Then I painted everything twice with white gesso .

To get this shabby look I used walnut stain and black sooted ink.

I also stamped it with Tim Holtz tire pattern.

Finally I could start to decorate it. 

I stamped up some stamps from Tim Holtz stampers anonymous,

and some texts from Papirdesign. I also created a text on my computer

to get my own message.   Then  inked them all up

to get a shabby look before I glued them on.

This is all for now.

Hope you've been inspired by this project to join our Challenge #36

Thanks for stopping by,

Scrapbooking day hos The PaperCrafting

I går var det cyber crop i The Paper Crafting (TPC).
 Jeg kom litt sent igang, men rakk likevel å få lagd 4 kort. 

TPC hadde lagd 3 flotte utfordringer til oss.

I denne første utfordringen leverte jeg disse tre bidragene:

Ved samtlige 3 bidrag benyttet jeg noen av mine gamle gode KennyK stempel. 
Bare elsker disse.

Basen på det første kortet er hvit bazzil. 
På de 2 neste kortene har jeg brukt kvistkartong som base.
Stemplene er farvelagt med Promakers og Copic Sketch.
Samtlige charms kommer fra Korthobby, hvor jeg også deltar i deres Maiutfording med disse kortene.
Stemplet "GRATULERER" på det første kortet kommer fra KaBoks. Stemplene på kort nr 2, kommer fra Papirdesign. Og til slutt de små stemplene på kort nr 3 kommer fra Norsk Stempelblad.
Mønsterpapir er brukt som bakgrunn på de to siste kortene, 
-og dette kommer fra Dixi Craft.

Her er mitt bidrag til denne herlige utfordringen:

Ble inspirert av de fine fargene i utfordringen. Endte derfor opp med å lage 
et tåteflaske-kort til en liten prinsesse.
Har brukt Dutch Doobadoo stensil, rosa bazzil og mønsterark fra Marianne Design.
Bildet er fra Nellie's og stemplene husker jeg desverre ikke hvem som er produsent.


Utfordring #2 rakk jeg ikke å delta i, men er storfornøyd med dagen. 
Alltid veldig koselig med slikt "scrappetreff".
Gleder meg til neste gang!


Takk for at du stakk innom her!
Hilsen Mariann

Ally's Angels DT challenge #18 "Godt Nyttår Tag"

Godt Nyttår alle sammen!

Nytt År og ny utfordring på Ally's Angels blog

Utfordringen denne gang er: Alt går

Nå som vi akkurat har startet på et nytt år, og skriver 2019 - tenkte jeg det var på sin plass å lage en Godt Nyttår-tag.

Denne lagde jeg ved bruk av litt mixed media,

- følte for å være litt leken, og grise litt med forskjellige teksturer og farger. 

Her nord har vi fortsatt mørketid, så dette gjenspeiler seg i fargene på tagen min.

Jeg har brukt Ranger's texture paste sammen med Tim Holtz stensiler. Klinte på litt forskjellige farger fra Prima Acrylic Paint og Inka Gold.

Til slutt pyntet jeg tagen med denne fantastisk coole hunden fra Kort & Godt, pluss litt metall gears fra Korthobby.

Takk for at du stakk innom!

Ønsker deg et godt og kreativt 

NYTT ÅR!

Ally's Angels DT challenge #15

Hi and welcome,

Today I will show you my very first DT project for
Ally's Angels. 
Ally's Angels is a challenge blog, run by the amazing Ally and her lovely design team.
I'm so proud of being a part of this team!
Thank you, Ally 💖  & thanks to Lisa who introduced me 💖

Challenge #15   Theme is: USE A TAG

For this project I've used a colorful empty food box. 
I cut out a tag, sanded the edges a bit, painted it with black Gesso, and dried it.
Then I played with Tim Holtz’s layering stencils and Ranger’s texture paste.
I also used some Prima acrylic paint on a sponge. Mainly to enhance the background color 
and to give a nice texture. 


Thanks for stopping by!
Hugs, Mariann
