The Gift Tags

These little beauties I made in the recent craft night. Julie had sooo many rolls of lovely washi tape and cute papers that just had to be used. So, gift tags. And to top off the loveliness, she dug out a box of small craft jewels. I tihnk I now have enough gift tags for the next couple of Christmases at least :)

Ihanista washiteipeistä ja kauniista papereista syntyi askarteluillassa söpöjä pakettikortteja. Nyt on parille joululle kortit valmiina :)

The Mother's Day

It's Mother's day soon, and for the first time ever decided to make the cards for my mum and my future mother-in-law. They turned out quite nice! And now I really want to make something else out of paper. Is it like this with you as well: when you try a new tecnique or wander into the realm of new material, you can't seem to get enough of it? Luckily I didn't buy much more paper... (but there are shops...). Of course I had to post them only after the day itself so as not to spoil the surprise. I'm sure you understand :)  PS. Oh! Almost forgot to tell you: I also bought new stamps for the letters. Very cool, although hard to get aligned... //

Äitienpäiväaskartelua, olkaapas hyvät. Hyvissä ajoin tehty mutta viekkaasti vasta äitienpäivän jälkeen postattu. En oo koskaan oikeen tälleen kortteja askarrellu, ja näistä tuli oikeen kivat! Harjoittelu jatkukoon siis... Ja uudet leimasimetkin ostin, kirjaimet. Vähän hankala saada samalle kohdalle mutta kauniit <3

The Calendar

Still snow! The winter really isn't going anywhere this year. The past few days have been brilliantly sunny but freezing cold. So, there is a real need for something colourful to bring the spring that much closer. Which brings me to the previous post!

Tan-tan-taaaaa.... here it is, the answer to the picture puzzle. Let me introduce you to my happy thought/event calendar! It took time to cut the cards and write the dates but now it is done. And I love it! The idea of keeping the calendar with you for many years and reading what you've done on the same days in previous years just seems very cool. I saw a calendar like this in a blog somewhere, but for the life of me I can't seem to find it anymore :(. But thank you still, blog owner with no name, for the brilliant idea. //

Talvitalvikylmääbrrrrr. Mikä kevät? Onpahan sentään aurinkoista ja kaunista. Värejä kuitenkin tarvitaan, tässä niitä kokonaiset 365. Joka päivälle omansa, mukavien ajatuksien ja tapahtumien kirjaamista varten. Oli muuten hommaa leikata noita lappuja! :D

The Puzzle

Winter is really relentless this year: we just keep getting more and more snow! So, the only solution is to make spring indoors. Flowers and bright colours keep me from going crazy with all the bleakness and the cold. But it will be spring soon, I can sense it! Until then, a picture puzzle for you:

What will this colourful bunch of cards basking in the spring sun (from last week, now it's gone again) be? Any guesses? Stay tuned to find out! //

Talvi pitää edelleen otteessaan, joten kevättunnelmaa on luotava sisätiloissa. Kuva-arvoitus: mikä mahtaa tulla tästä läjästä paperia?
