Hey Pumkin, midway reminder for HM&FMC

We are half way trough Lori's

Hey Pumpkin !

challenge at House Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge.

You can use pumpkin images, pumpkin colours, pumpkin embellishments or whatever.

But remember to  use a House-Mouse, Happy Hopper 

or Gruffies image for your card/creation. 

As I told you last week, I do not have any Halloween

themed House Mouse images. So I decided to use

this little fellow holding his candy so tight.

I have made a treat box following this great tutorial.

Try it out yourself, it isn't difficult, believe me.

You have to look close to find my pumpkins;

they are on the paper from Panduro Hobby.

The tag sentiments are from LOTV.

 My box is filled with 2 small chocolate bars.

I was trying to find some chocolates wrapped in matching colours,
but I didn't succeed.

 The backside of the box.

Dress Up for Halloween, DT card for Stamp and Create with Magnolia.

Welcome back to a new challenge at

Stamp and Create with Magnolia.

Our theme for the next two weeks is

Dress Up for Halloween.

Any Tilda or Edwin dressed as a character would work.

Such as Princess Tilda, Black Knight Edwin, Indian Tilda, Tilda as a clown,

Bunny Tilda, Lucky Edwin, Sweet Pea Tilda....

Yes I think you've got the point by now!

The prize for one lucky winner will be one free Magnolia 

stamp from Stamp and Create.

 My choice for todays card is 'Scarow Tilda'.

She's new to me, I've inked her up for the first time.

I have coloured her with my Distress Inks.

The papers are Maja Design, 'A Walk In The Forrest'.

I love the blue and brown colour combination.

I have used a Memory Box die for the 'flowers',

and the sentiment is from LOTV.

Pearls and the jute ribbon are from my stash.

The usual backside...

Hey Pumpkin, DT card for HM&FMC

It is time for another theme over on the

 House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge,

 this time it was Lori's turn to choose the theme and she chose

 "PUMPKINS"

  Use something on your creation that is inspired by pumpkins.

 Of course you must use a House Mouse, Happy Hopper or Gruffie to join in.

I had to think out of the box, in Scandinavia where I 

live we have no tradition for celebrating Halloween,

and I do not own any Halloween-like HM image.

Luckily for me a good friend of mine has this image,

'Mice Decoy', you can find it here at Simon Says Stamp.

If you are looking to find my pumpkins, they are on the paper

 and there's a little pumpkin charm as well.

The papers are from Panduro, a Scandinavian craft shop.

My usual back side with my personal stamp
and elements from the front.

3x Penny Black katte.

Dagens indlæg bliver kort, men med desto flere fotos.

Jeg så en sjov sketch for lidt siden, jeg husker desværre

ikke hvor, men her er det kort jeg fik den omsat i.

3 Penny Black katte kombineret med et LOTV tekststempel.

Tekststemplet er plaseret inden i kortet, det ser man let

fra denne vinkel. Kattene er farvelagt med Prisma Color Pensils.

Papiret er 'Indian Summer' fra Basic Grey.

Flotte mønsterark i dejlige efterårsfarver, de er

bare ikke altid så nemme at kombinere.

Eller også er det fordi jeg allerede har brugt de

ark jeg bedst kan li og kun har 'de besværlige' tilbage!

Jeg havde lidt besvær med at få hullet nøjagtig der jeg 

ville, men til slut blev det OK.

Inden i ser det sådan her ud.

På bagsiden var jeg nødt til at ha' ham her

i kombination med mit 'Håndlavet af' stempel.

T for Transparant, DT project for ABC Christmas Challenge.

Can you believe it, we are already up to the letter T at

ABC Christmas Challenge.

That makes it only 11 weeks till Christmas!

But come and join the new and funny challenge:

T for TRANSPARENT!

(Use something that you can see through on your card like acetate,

 clear plastic or vellum)

 where  Angela is our host.

This was a difficult one for our wonderful and creative DT,

but we managede to make our cards/projects.

Taking some desent photos came up as the next challenge for 

the main part of us, frustration and some words-

not suitable on for small ears- came from many of us!

My project is a decorated Toffifee box, and 'smart' as I am,
I chose red as my colour for this one. The red Distress
is the colour I find it hardest to work with, and red is

 definitely the worst colour for photography!

As you can understand; my base was not the best!

The paper is from Maja Design, and the window is

a gelatin sheet- the stuff you use  in food, it's a thickening agent.

It was really hard to photograph my box

without getting reflections.

Here a look at the yummie chocholate.

The text is a part of the design paper, saying 'Merry Christmas'

I always struggle to colour with the 'Aged Mahogany'.

But I'm satisfied with my flowers today,

they are from my stash.

For the back side I used my personal stamp

and some design paper.

Ous sponsor for the T challenge is:
