It's a boy!

Here's yet another card from last spring. I was asked to make a card for a baby boy. I ended up with this fairly simple design. The button isn't just decoration--it also holds the cover closed.

Circus = Career

I made this graduation card for a girl who now has a degree in circus arts (I hope I got it right in English!). I used a piece of black string to make it look like a slack rope that is used in circus performances.



Hearthbox with lace on Mother's Day

I've been inspired by Anita Hagen's craft blog many times. Her projects are simply breathtaking! I made this heartbox last spring for Mother's Day with the help of her heartbox tutorial. Putting the pieces together (and making them stay in the shape you wanted to!) was nothing but easy and I almost gave up (more than once). I filled the box with Fazer's legendary Marianne sweets though they were slightly too big for the box and the colors didn't really match either. My box isn't as pretty as Anita's masterpieces but at least my mom loved it. Although, that's how mom's usually are. :)


A birthday card for a birthday girl

I'm still very much alive! I haven't made many cards lately, so I will post a couple of my older projects. This card is from last spring. I wanted to use the same tulle that I used for the ATC card last year. Isn't it sweet?! But so is the birthday girl! :)
