How to: turn on the 'last minute' mode

Hello Crafty Bloggers, this is really the last minute to finish all of these X-mas creations and project. And I am still far far from finish.

But first let me tell you how I spent the last week's Sunday. The days go so quickly, I hadn't much time to upload these photos earlier. Twice a year me and my Mum paricipate in the Craft Show in our town. The Craft's name is 'Nice Things Fair'. How cute! My stall was not too big, but really friendly in my opinion.

And you would never guess what sold out first? Bookmarks! And they say people don't read books! Well, what do you know?

The next show is in March, so I better prepare some more bookmarks! LOL

Anyway, it's high time to announce the last challenge this year at

This time our talented Jac has chosen
LAST MINUTE X-MAS
Think last minute cards, tags, gifts, decorations. Everything X-mas.
We have got two sponsors for this challenge

and

How cool is that?

My DT project is a wine tag this time. First ever.

I couldn't resist to use this funny digi from Make It Crafty named 'Big Bob's little gift'. It's colored with Promarkers and placed on a 3D foam.

This tag is for a woman infact, that's why I added some lace, ribbon and a bow. All from my stash.

The sentiment is a rubber stamp and it says 'Merry X-mas'.

Thank you for visiting my blog!

How to: celebrate friendship

Hello everyone! It's 10 a.m. here and it's so dark I needed to turn on the light. I have no idea why we change our time into winter one, when it makes no sense at all.

So, sitting in the dark, I would like to present the brand new challenge at

which should bright everyone's day

TAGS & BAGS

My oh my, X-mas is coming and we all need tons of cards, tags, boxes, bags...

We have two sponsors this week

and

You have 2 chances to win then, so don't wait any longer and show us your tags'n'bags!

First I was going to make a box, as I never did that before, but unfortunately it's been a hard week at work, so I didn't have much time. But instead I prepared this vintage tag.

I am using a sponsor's image 'Me and my mate'. I wanted to give it more vintage look, so I played with different media a little. The new one is the distress crackle paint.

It looks like an old photo from a childhood (that was supposed to look like). The ribbon is ready-to-use and I also added some pearls, lace and natural twine.

The sentiment says 'Friends - one soul in two bodies'.

Thank you for visiting my blog! I invite you to check my Team Mates blogs, there are lots of wonderful tags'n'bags!

How to: use your scraps

Oh well, another Friday, at the end of the year the time is running so fast!

We have a new challenge for all the crafty Ladies and Gents at

and today we would like to see

ANYTHING NOT SQUARE

This theme has been chosen by our talented Christine, and I think it is very creative, so... amaze us!

We have a fab prize for you from our sponsor

Why not to win?

It was a high time to use all these scraps growing into piles at the whole apartament.

I decided to prepare some X-mas tags, as I don't make tags very often. I think they will be cool for X-mas presents. Every single item is from scraps and leftovers or recycled, and I am really proud of myself I didn't touch anything new.

The sentiments are stickers and say 'Merry X-mas'.

Thank you for visiting my blog! Please visit our great team's blogs, so you will see how creative they are. It is also a chance for you to create something unusual. I can't wait to see it!

Crafty Creations Challenge Blog

 START THE HOP NOW! And have a great time!

Here's my DT tag for this special challenge. This is my first tag EVER made, so please be lenient

 For this project I used a digi from one of our sponsors

 

It's called 'The Mittens" and you can get it HERE. I'm in a paper piecing series, so here's the technique once more. This is wonderful how it composes with the background!

The sentimens says 'Have a warm X-mas'. Because it's my first tag ever, I was afraid of adding too much on it. So I only used a shaggy twine and a flower made of material.

Are you cold! Don't worry, if you hop a little you'll get warm, so do not wait, just hop to another blog!

We wish you a very merry & warm X-mas. Take care and have lots of fun!

The tag is also for the following challenges:
