Christmas Wishes

Welcome!

Today I will share with you a mixed media layout in form of a big gift combined 

with the best wishes for a peaceful, harmonious and cozy Christmas

 in the circle of your loved ones.

I had this idea when I saw the paper with the elegant lady 

sitting comfortably on a mountain with presents.

used Maja Design papers

I also used some christmas themed cutting dies (candles, pine branches, christmas stockings, lace)
and an awesome christmas tree chipboard from Dusty Attic

Let it Snow for Maja Design

Hello crafty friends!

It got cold, the first snow starts falling, icicles on the roofs and will make

our world a little bit quieter and slower. 

Winter time is sledding time too. 

I loved that as I was a child, today I'm a 'Frostbeule' ;-) 

 and what could be better than sitting in a small warm dreamy winter cottage 

and watching the snow fall softly to the ground. 

The children are romping in the snow and inside a fireplace crackles, wonderful!

 used paper collection

Winter greetings from Kerstin !

Wish YOU - for SASPC

Welcome crafty friends!

 The time has come again, the Advent season is just around the corner, but we have not really coped with the hot summer. The first sunday of Advent, the right time for christmas wishes .

I was inspired to make a MDF - Tag in mixed media style with a grunge touch of Steampunk.

Our challenge theme for November and December is the usual

Anything Goes - Steampunk/Industrial

and of course a project that combines X-mas with steampunk or industrial style is more than welcome too ;)
And as it is a two months long challenge you are allowed to enter up to five projects instead of just the usual three!

 some details

 a small wish roll from torned craft paper attached to a toothpick with two small metal gears

inkpot and pen are 3D sticker from La Blanche

a lucky beetle with two antennas that are always on reception

 

two candles who want to shed light into the darkness of our time.

I hope this little tag can inspire you to create your own idea and project!

I wish you and your families a peaceful Advent season!

Little winter cottage for Calico Craft Parts

Welcome!

The first Advent is just around the corner and the time for Christmas preparations begins. 

  

Most important to us are always the many lights to make the dark season more enjoyable. 

But Christmas also has a lot to do with romance and cosiness. 

And what could be better than sitting in a small warm dreamy winter cottage and watching the snow fall softly to the ground.  

The children are romping in the snow and inside a fireplace crackles.

That were my thoughts behind this new project.

more details and useful tips can you find

This project was so much fun to create and I love the scene that you can build up, 

using this awesome House Kit. There is a lot of another Town and Country House Kits

 in the Calico Craft Parts Shop, have a look and you will be amazed!

Thanks for your visit and I wish you a beautiful Advent season!
